It's very simple, actually. Most adults in the world are dead due to some plague, leaving the kids who have formed themselves into motorcycle-riding, comic book-reading gangs. Leland (James Earl Jones's nephew) decides to leave a perfectly good naked girl behind, and join the "Clippers," and decides to reveal his mother and uncle's secret plot by making a film in which an innocent woman is sent to the gas chamber by the D.A. she was having an affair with. ...What's not to get?

I have a confession: this has gone from an episode I couldn't get through to one of my favorites. I have actually learned to like the movie itself. This movie invokes the spirit of Red Dawn and Young Guns, the ambience of a foosball table at the skating rink, and the forced synth score reimaginings of westerns and fantasy movies of the day. If you didn't grow up in the 80s it's hard to explain, but Alien from LA has a similar vibe, and it's very nostalgic.
