Also, there's a concept of superior beings interbreeding with humanity that is sort of mysterious. I'm not really sure what that applies too.

...That would be the "Annunaki", tall pale angels who mated w/ human women....... popularly discussed by all manner of wingnuts and charlatans on "Coast to Coast AM", often conflated w/ extraterrestrials or, err, Aryan ubermensch.

"If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you should feel pity rather than anger..."--Bertrand Russell

I agree according to the two examples given there - but they are completely neutral in a moralistic / political / emotional sense, which is quite convenient.

Imagine a speaker stating the opinion "I believe all of us ['X people'] are fundamentally superior to all ['Y people'] and therefore all ['Y People'] should have fewer rights" to an assembled crowd of 'X People' who then erupted in applause.... if that scenario was to stir up a sense of anger in a 'Y person', that does not mean the 'Y Person' has baseless opinions.

good work chainsaw and claws, thanks!! 

my google-fu is weak, couldn't find a jot... in fact I did 2 identical google searches for [ "bad to the bone" "chucks mordi" ] an hour apart, and got different (useless) results each time!

google got rid of their 'cache' function in about 2010. they said  no one used it. it was the best thing about the search engine IMO

anyway glad to solve that

I have tried to read Enoch in the past and my mind wondered, so this was good. It seems very repetitive though.

From what I've read of the books of Enoch, they're a bit like the duller parts of the Old Testament. You have some weird ideas, and then it goes on forever listing angels, or the dimensions of something or other. Then the next book goes over much the same ground, but slightly differently. I gave up eventually.

Junk World

The second part of Takahide Hori's trilogy that began in 2017 with the absolutely brilliant Junk Head. It is impossible to summarise the plot, but it involves mutants, SM cultists, cyborgs, robots and mecha in several time loops, set some centuries before Junk Head in the same universe;
The budget apparently was twice that of Junk Head and it shows. There are more special effects and the whole thing looks less homegrown than Junk Head. Also, it has actual dialogue and voice acting. It doesn't have the raw passion of Junk Head but makes up for it by more sophisticated storytelling. Most of the tropes in the movie you have seen before (at least if you watch the same kind of stuff as I do) but Takahide Hori blends it into a wonderful cocktail.
Reverend, if you haven't already, you should seek this out.

I haven't seen it but my colleague reviewed it. I should check it out. Did you see it at some kind of festival or did some crazy person actually program it at a cinema there? 

I saw it at Anima, the Brussels festival for animation movies. They do kid friendly stuff during the day and weirder films in the evening

AI pretty much confirms what chainsaw said

It sounds like somebody stumbled upon a genuine piece of "lost" or ultra-niche media. Based on the director and cast, the film definitely exists, but it belongs to a very specific, prolific, and often undocumented corner of the film industry: UK-based Nollywood.

The Mystery Solved

The director, Chucks Mordi, is a well-known figure in the Nigerian film industry (Nollywood), specifically within the diaspora community in London. He has been active since at least the late 90s (his debut was Mama Sunday in 1998).

Many of these films were produced by and for the West African community in the UK. They were often released directly to DVD and sold in independent shops, markets, or community centers rather than through major retailers like HMV or Amazon. Because they weren't released via traditional Hollywood or British indie distributors, they frequently bypass databases like IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes.

Why It "Doesn't Exist" Online

Low-Budget Nollywood Style: Mordi is known for "Super VHS" and early digital productions. These films focus on the "diaspora experience"—exactly like the "relocating to London" plot described.

Music Licensing: Using Madonna's "Like a Prayer" is a classic hallmark of early-2000s low-budget international filmmaking. Often, these productions didn't officially license global pop hits, which is another reason they never see a wide, legal digital release today—copyright strikes would take them down instantly.

Jane Dodd: While she has 9 credits on IMDb, many actors in this scene worked on dozens of "underground" projects that were never logged by the Screen Actors Guild or industry trackers.

Is It a "Bad" Movie?

In the world of film collecting, somebody actually found something quite cool. A physical artifact of the UK Nollywood movement from the mid-2000s. These films are famous for their raw, melodramatic energy and for documenting the specific cultural vibes of London's immigrant communities during that era.

While it might not be a "lost masterpiece" in the technical sense, it is a rare piece of cultural history that hasn't been digitized.
