Stars of the Roller State Disco
6.3/10
Video-shot on studio sets, Stars of the Roller State Disco borders on science fiction of the dystopian variety.

They leave the building in a wash of light, though we do not go through that door with them. For others it's a subsistence existence of vending machine food, video games, with sex and drug freely available as distractions. (Television @ The Digital Fix)
