* FishOutOfWater: "A Spectre is Haunting Texas" features an actor coming down from a satellite colony to complete a mission and who finds a future Earth future where Russia and an overgrown Texas have fought a nuclear war, the Texans have used genetic engineering to grow seven feet tall (the Russians have used the same technique to grow broader) and enslaved normal-sized Mexicans. And it's a comedy.

Unfortunately, earthquakes had destroyed the shelter and killed the colleagues, so dad was forced to essentially cobble together another one out of household items.
