Your Stupid Minds is back with more animation for you! Not anime, but anime-inspired, it\u2019s the unreleased in America film adaptation of the comic Gen\xb9\xb3 from Jim Lee, Brandon Choi and J. Scott Campbell. It\u2019s basically if a OVA was slightly less leery and animated like an episode of Batman Beyond.

Caitlin Fairchild (Alicia Witt) is a freakin\u2019 NERD who is recruited by a shady paramilitary organization. Because of her promiscuous roommate and nothing else, she decides to drop out of college and head to this organization\u2019s secret mountain lair, where she learns karate and is yelled at by a Nazi (Cloris Leachman).

There she meets Grunge (Flea), a surfer dude, and Roxy (Elizabeth Daily), a smoker. There\u2019s also the mysterious Zuko-like rogue Threshold (Mark Hamill) who looks suspiciously like the blonde kid in the cold open. Apparently they\u2019re supposed to unlock their Gen\xb9\xb3 powers, some genetic experiment that killed all their parents and gives them special powers. While snooping in the organization\u2019s Secret Files Area, they\u2019re attacked by some guards and Caitlin unlocks her powers (gets really strong, boobs get bigger).

Soon they all unlock their powers. Grunge turns into whatever he touches, and Roxy can levitate. They fight the Nazi lady in a giant mech suit. Can they escape the facility? Do they even want to? What does this group do? Will Disney ever acknowledge this movie\u2019s existence? You\u2019ll have to listen to find out!
