You Are What Someone Teleports Into Your Stomach
Way back in February, I ran the teaser trailer for Filler!, a short fan flick about a mad scientist and his food teleporter — a very specific invention with no other possible uses, thank you very much. Now the full 10-minute movie is out, and it’s just as good as it’s trailer promised — although I might be biased because it uses the Law & Order DUNH-DUNH! sound effects. One warning — please, please don’t spoil the incredible twist ending of Filler! for others.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
