Synopsis

5:50 AM: A lineup has formed outside an office building. Cigarettes glow in the pre-sunrise dark. A bad cough echoes through the empty streets. Who are these people? Outcasts, misfits, drug dealers and addicts, gamblers, ramblers, drifters and weirdos; they're the people you see at a 24-hour McDonalds or a casino at 2:28 in the morning, and five days a week you'll find them outside the Ready4Labour office.
Thus begins a story about an unlikely friendship, the Sex Pistols, sex drugs and rock n roll and sharks in space. Sharks in space? That's just the beginning, friend. Are you Ready4Labour?

    If that's your original recording at the end, it really sounds like the Sex Pistols! I wish I got to see some of the actual show instead of just exposition. I didn't find I really cared about either character. Maybe if I got to see them interact.

    This has potential, simply because watching Brits acclimatize to Canadian drinking is hilarious.

    Unfortunately, the labour was forced, and not in an effective North Korean way. We needed to see the guys as dirty sweaty labourers as a visual counterpoint to the band.
