Film watched: ''Film/RedZoneCuba'', with short ''Speech: Platform Posture and Appearance''

One of the few films that actually ''broke'' the SOL crew, though the Mads don't notice due to Forrester having been beaten to a pulp by mobsters prior to the experiment -- and Forrester too busy beating Frank to even notice their "Bouncy Upbeat Song". SanitySlippage was the only thing saving them from the DespairEventHorizon. Even the Mads descend into madness at the end.
