Theysit in Comedy / Crime / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Singing Detective, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Executive Koala is

Pacing fluorescent hallways at 4 AM, a six-foot koala in a sodden suit clutches a bloodstained ledger. His sleepwalking apartment hides a murdered human lover; the city’s neon siren wails for a suspect who remembers nothing. One jittery raccoon, one felonious frog, and an alibi made of pickles later. —Takeshi Kitano meets Joe Dante by way of J-horror footnotes.
