Faced with giving up more square footage to hang their Manga artworks on or display their Kubrick toys, they decide to go for the money shot–splicing human DNA into their creations. Increasingly arrogant and obnoxious, the pair are brought down to earth when the plug is pulled on their Frankenstein experiments–even supra-scientists have to feel the credit crunch some time.
