If you loved Wood Job!, try Robo-G

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Robo-G has roughly 5.6× fewer votes than Wood Job! — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Shinobu Yaguchi, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Wood Job!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Robo-G is

Here's a film that understands the absurdity of show business. Three desperate engineers pass off a man in a robot suit as the real thing to keep their jobs. He becomes a sensation, despite the obvious fakery. It's pretty good for what it is.
