Shredder Orpheus is a cult indie film by Robert McGinley that retells the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in a 1980s post-apocalyptic dystopia. Filmed entirely in Seattle, it's self-described as absolutely bonkers.In the Grey Zone, the 99 percent is barely hanging on, distracting themselves from the cost of survival with the soothing rays of Hades' Euthanasia Broadcast Network, or EBN. Looking to boost youth ratings to hasten the effects of his deadly television signal that sucks the souls out of the living, Hades has his crew murder the dancer Eurydice and take her to the broadcasting underworld.With a gang of rebellious skateboarders by his side and armed with a Gibsonian Lyre-Axe Guitar, it's up to the rock-and-roll star Orpheus Hellenbach to storm Hades' network, free Eurydice, and save the world in the process.The movie has an official website. | |

Undeathly Pallor | |
| Shredder Orpheus / int_106adcb7 | comment |
Undeathly Pallor: Hades, Persephone, and other Underworld residents have their hands and faces coated white; it's implied to be stage makeup since Hades is later seen without the pallor. When Eurydice dies and is made part of the EBN programming she becomes deathly pale as well, as does Orpheus when he dies. | |

Excessive Mourning | |
| Shredder Orpheus / int_10f28611 | comment |
Excessive Mourning: A year after losing Eurydice, Orpheus either drowns his sorrows or lays around in bed all day, with Linus having to cover for canceled gigs and Scratch, Axel, and Razoreus having to remind him to eat. Linus and the oracle both tell Orpheus to move on with his life, to no avail. | |

The Problem with Fighting Death: Hades mocks Orpheus's attempt to save Eurydice by reminding him that both of them ending up in the Underworld is inevitable. Orpheus counters that since he will get them anyway, he may as well give them a chance to go. | |

Ambiguous Situation: Linus spins a story of Orpheus's wedding gift being one of three prototypes created by Jimi Hendrix and a guy named Paisley Pattern, who worked to create the ultimate power-chord machine to elevate human consciousness until they either died or went missing. Whether any of this is true is never addressed, though Orpheus seems skeptical. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Shredder Orpheus / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Orpheus's manager is named Linus, who was his brother in some of the myths. Linus references this when he mentions treating Orpheus like a brother. Persephone is only seen as Hades' wife and queen of the Underworld, but her role as goddess of spring gets a nod when she says Hades lets her go on summer vacations; in the myths she returned aboveworld every spring and summer. Hades and Persephone's last name is Hecata, an alternate form of Hecate, the chthonic goddess of the night, crossroads, ghosts, and magic. | |

He does it again with the Eurydice Door Show, making a show of Orpheus's demise and post-death reunion with Eurydice. | |

The Underworld: The film shows sections of the Underworld connected to separated areas. The main area is Hades and Persephone's broadcasting network, which is adjacent to a gloomy office setting where Apollo and Calliope are tasked with erasing incoming souls' memories via a paper shredder. The second area is deep below the earth and is connected to a shady parking garage, where flame jets and seemingly impossible skateboarding jumps deter intruders. Elysium is mentioned as a golf and country club that shades can retire to, but is never seen. | |

Game Show Host: Hades takes this role when Orpheus arrives at his TV station to rescue Eurydice, framing his quest as a game show where he can win big or lose it all. The first time around it's like the myth, while the second is a Deadly Game where Orpheus's life is at risk. | |

Mundane Luxury: Real food is hard to come by in the Grey Zone, and Scratch is ecstatic to stumble on some boxes of Shredded Wheat since they have real carbohydrates. Razoreus is equally excited about discarded pepperoni pizza with olives and mushrooms, taking some to share with Orpheus. | |

Psychoactive Powers: It's implied that Orpheus's Lyre-Axe Guitar's performance is tied to his confidence and determination to save Eurydice, as after he fails to save her the first time, it goes on the fritz and shorts out completely when the Furies move to kill him. | |

Prophecy Twist | |
| Shredder Orpheus / int_bb5126ec | comment |
Prophecy Twist: Subtly done when Orpheus consults the oracle for a tarot reading and advice on how to get Eurydice back; she cautions him against risking himself and says that he might get what he wants, but it won't be what he expects. True to the trope, Orpheus fails his mission to save Eurydice and dies for it, and is only reunited with her in death to boost Hades' ratings. | |

Enforced Method Acting: In-universe. To coax a better performance out of Eurydice, the EBN lures Orpheus back to the Underworld with the chance to save her, rigs the resulting game show to kill him, and has her reunited with him in death. Both Hades and Persephone are pleased with her resulting work. | |
