What Happens

We watch as two newscasters read us the evening news. They do the usual witty banter and then sign off. We then cut to a woman in the dark who repeats everything they say. She’s a little weird. On the next broadcast, we see that she’s an intern at the station.
Things are about to get a lot weirder…

Commentary

We don’t get much of an explanation in this one, but it’s pretty clear what’s going on. It’s well shot and looks good; the dialogue isn’t great, but that’s probably intentional to show how “fake” the news reporting is.
I’d like to think this was all in the studio next door to “Late Night with the Devil.”
It’s great!
