Oddball Film + Video Hosts Popatopolis Double Feature

On May 21, 2010, Oddball Film + Video will host a double feature in San Francisco, opening the night with one of Jim’s most classic films, Chopping Mall, followed by our hilarious documentary, Popatopolis. Our very own Killbot Jr. will be there to guide you to your seat. Not as violent as the Killbots on screen, but Killbot Jr. sure can detonate a dance floor with his moves.

Oddball Films, a stock footage company that specializes in offbeat footage, actively works to present rarely screened genres of cinema as well as avant garde and ethno-cultural documentaries which expand the boundaries of cinema.

Many local Londoners are stopping to get a closer look at this robot that spews random classic Killbot quotes like, "May I see your Identification Badge" and "Prepare for detonation."
