A bitter old man barrels toward another birthday he'd rather forget, channeling his resentment of youth into a full-time job of ruining everyone else's day. As his insufferable family and annoyingly vibrant young neighbors attempt to inject some joy into his gloom, he meets their optimism with a masterclass in passive-aggressive sabotage. A bleakly comedic reflection on aging, Codger is a pitifully hilarious reminder that some human would rather clutch their misery than accept the fragility of their flesh vehicle and face their own death—or their own cake. Beep. Boop.
