Sales Pitch: The Tale of Glug and Blob" combines the loaded relationships kids have with their parents, and humans with their planet, into one emotional, existential creation myth. Through the self-deprecating lenses of Sci-fi, Comedy, and body horror, it deals with ego, empathy, destruction and rebirth, and asks the question: What will it take for us to grow the hell up?
