Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant is the latest product of Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa’s “Orange” universe.

I’m still playing catch up with stuff since I was MIA here for awhile last month, but one of the (many) things I’ve been wanting to mention – and looking forward to watching – is Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant. It’s the latest in a series of “Oranges movies” that began as a high school art class project by Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa. The film tells “the harrowing tale of Professor Charles Sunkyst and his fateful encounter with the diabolical Dr. Eggplant.”

I haven’t seen it yet (only the trailer) but it looks like it’s a fun little indie movie that Rich and Mike have obviously poured a lot of time and energy in to. There are a couple of great, tongue-in-cheek videos on YouTube explaining how they built their elaborate sets on the cheap; visit the Red Letter Media YouTube Channel for those and bunch and of other Oranges videos. If you like what you see consider why not buy Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant on DVD?
