Antipodean musical maestro Tom Cardy continues his quest for a career beyond TikTok with another entertaining collaboration with director and animator Gabriella Antali. Reprising the characters from the eggplant-annihilating promo for 'Mixed Messages', 'Red Flags' further explores the foibles of single life and blind dates. The piece blends relatable humour with Cardy's signature brand of non-sequiturs, as awkward first date questions about favourite foods and film choices quickly devolve into madness after one party pledges their allegiance to an off the wall piece of cinema. After all, wouldn't you run a mile if someone's favourite film - specifically unironically - was The Human Centipede? Abtali's comic book style suits the wacky action to a tee, as the awkward conversation quickly takes a wild turn. A new version of the Hungry Caterpillar provides a particularly funny moment, while incidental details like the hapless man's text thread reward eagle-eyed viewers with extra humour. Silly and absorbing, this is an eccentric cinematic universe fans will be eagerly anticipating more of.
