Set in a quirky, alternate 1980s kingdom where jousting is done with cars and dragons terrorize malls, Bitchin’ follows the misadventures of Russell, a slacker in his 20s who’s tired of dead-end jobs and mediocrity. When the king announces a reward of one hundred million coins and his daughter’s hand in marriage to anyone who can slay the dragon in Old Ashton Mall, Russell sees a chance to escape his mundane life and achieve something meaningful—or at least rich.
Unemployed after an incident involving a flaming video store and a dragon attack, Russell reluctantly teams up with his best friend, Art, a wannabe blacksmith with questionable skills and unshakable enthusiasm. Together, they train in swordsmanship using cheesy VHS tapes, scavenge for jousting equipment, and dive headfirst into the chaos of the kingdom’s underground jousting scene to acquire a “steed.”
But dragon-slaying isn't for the faint of heart—or the unprepared. As Russell stumbles through training and misadventures, he wrestles with self-doubt, family tensions, and the nagging suspicion that his dreams of glory might be as illusory as the kingdom’s retro aesthetic. Along the way, Russell discovers that true heroism isn’t about fame or fortune; it’s about finding courage in the face of fear and forging your own path, even if it means going head-to-head with a fire-breathing beast.
Packed with irreverent humor, heartfelt moments, and a soundtrack of 80s hits, Bitchin’ is an outrageous and heartwarming adventure about underdogs, friendship, and embracing your inner hero—even when the odds are stacked against you.
