In 1960, Professor Ruckus invented the Titan badge - a device that enables humans to have a particular superpower. Cut to 1979 when two of the original superheroes are all grown up and want their Titan badges back.
- Richard9. november 2025Set in a retro futuristic 1979, this indie oddball follows two former superheroes trying to reclaim their Titan badges, devices that once gave them powers, purpose and a place in Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum’s dysfunctional family of misfits. Think The Umbrella Academy meets Wes Anderson with a dash of Napoleon Dynamite awkwardness. Cary Elwes plays Professor Ruckus like a mix of Willy Wonka and a washed up Bond villain, eccentric, manipulative and oddly endearing. The film leans hard into vintage aesthetics: grainy filters, analog tech and a soundtrack that feels like it was pulled from a forgotten 70's sci-fi vinyl. It’s quirky, heartfelt and occasionally uneven, but that’s part of the charm. The action is minimal, the pacing meanders and the tone swings between satire and sincerity. But when it clicks, it really clicks. There’s a surprising emotional core beneath the pastel chaos, about family, identity and the cost of being “special.” The Hyperions is a lo-fi superhero story with heart, style, and just enough weirdness to earn its spot.
