Thug Odyssey is a fan-inspired animated sequel to the Hollywood film Gridlock’d (1997), which starred Tupac Shakur, Tim Roth and Thandie Newton. In the movie, the actors portray a drug-addicted band of musicians who embark on a tireless quest to be granted access to state welfare. In his bedroom-produced sequel, Pandhal draws upon the worlds of the pulp anime movie Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend and the German satire Ship of Fools, creating an experimental coming of age video-comic that exhibits syncretic strains of post-brown weirdness.
