Let’s remake StarTrek 4, The Voyage Home…but with crabs!
That should be the title as well
Crab do evolve fairly often.
Meanwhile the crabs on earth: “yo wtf??”
Hey when they can build radio antennas then they can talk to the aliens. Until then they can go play at the beach.

Of course now I have to watch it
A synopsis for a great fucking movie.
I spent 20 years in call centers. I felt so much of this movie.
It’s an excellent movie, I would recommend watching it, even if the synopsis is insane.
It is an excellent movie, especially if you go into watching it knowing it’s a satire. I went in blind and was totally blindsided
