Why Cult
Eoj's adventure begins by winning a bizarre interplanetary game show, setting the tone for the film’s offbeat humor.
Eoj’s ability to transform allows for a string of outlandish disguises and comic misunderstandings with earthlings.
From interspecies flirtations to parody press conferences, the film leans into its R-rated, sex spoof territory.
Suspicious locals, a lynch mob, and bumbling criminals add layers of chaos to Eoj’s already complicated vacation.
