The Dead Do Not Podcast: A Lexx Rewatch

Rachel and Matt discuss Lexx 2.5 - "Lafftrak". Please enjoy the sound of our daughter having a REALLY GOOD TIME in the background :)

In "Lafftrak," the fifth episode of season 2 of "Lexx," the crew of the Lexx finds themselves in a bizarre situation when they encounter a planet that’s essentially a giant comedy show. The inhabitants are obsessed with laughter, and they force the crew to participate in various comedic acts to keep them entertained.

As the crew navigates this strange world, they face absurd challenges, including slapstick humor and bizarre comedic scenarios. The episode satirizes television and the nature of entertainment, leading to both hilarious moments and some darker themes. Ultimately, they must find a way to escape the planet's clutches while dealing with the ridiculousness of their situation.

The episode blends sci-fi with comedy, showcasing the unique and often surreal tone of "Lexx."
