## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A cartoon sailor lands in a live-action world because, apparently, someone greenlit this. After his ship sinks Popeye drifts into the Oyl family attic where he sets up a cot and a rival. The film’s only real winner is the scenery, which still looks better than the spinach.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, playful
