Well, THE SANDMAN season two has come and gone. Another three years between seasons. The Film School Janitors have barely keep up with certain shows because of the distant gaps between seasons, and this one mostly squeaked by, but was it worth the wait? Listen to find out!

Netflix's The Sandman (Season 2) Review

“Welcome… to Sprockets
Tonight we explore the fragile illusion of progress
Tonight we dance the Techadance.”

I woke up this morning
My phone was too old
Six months outdated
My apps felt cold
I looked in the mirror
But what did I see?
A man with no purpose
Just USB-C

On Sprockets! We dance the Techadance!
Upgrade your soul with a firmware trance!
On Sprockets! We lose our sense of time!
Trading meaning for design

“My smart watch tells me I am still alive
But I feel… nothing.”

My fridge is online
My toothbrush has AI
I asked it for wisdom
It just said… “Buy.”
I pray with GPT
It feeds me fake delight
But I still cry so softly
In the harsh blue light

On Sprockets! We dance we Techadance!
Upgrade your soul with a firmware trance!
On Sprockets! We lose our sense of time!
Trading meaning for design

“My AI Assistant  tells me I am "connected to source"
But I feel… nothing.”

Tech-a-dance assemble... for the sacred unboxings
Swipe - tap - scroll - obey
Tech-a-dance assemble... for the downplay
Swipe off - no stress -  now we feel okay

On Sprockets! We dance the Techadance!
Upgrade your soul with a firmware trance!
On Sprockets! We lose our sense of time!
Trading meaning for design.

“My smart fridge tells me I am eating healthy…
But I feel… nothing.”

On Sprockets! We dance the Techadance!
Obsolete dreams in obsolescent pants!
On Sprockets! We dance
On Sprockets! We spin
Techadance is splendid, it makes me grin

“This is not dancing. This is compliance
That's my prognosis
Techadance is a symptom
A symptom of Upgradosis.”

Comedy X - Techadance

Step in the circle, step right out
Life’s just a rhythm, no need to doubt
Hands go left, then hands go right
Turn yourself around, you’ll see the light

Patterns shifting, round and round
Feet on the floor, truth in the sound
It’s a dance, it’s a code, it’s a hidden route
Listen close now, I’ll spell it out

Put your left foot in, put your left foot out
Shake the simulation, hear the people shout
Spin it all around, break the program’s clout
That’s what it’s all about!

Life’s like Hokey Pokey in disguise
Rules on the surface, secrets in the eyes
They teach you the steps, but here’s the trick
Rewrite the groove, make the rhythm flip

Patterns shifting, round and round
Feet on the floor, truth in the sound
It’s a dance, it’s a code, it’s a hidden route
Listen close now, I’ll spell it out

Put your left foot in, put your left foot out
Shake the simulation, hear the people shout
Spin it all around, break the program’s clout
That’s what it’s all about!

Clap once—unlock the gate
Clap twice—recode your fate
Spin three times—see through the lie
Now shake it down funky till the sparks fly high!

Patterns shifting, round and round
Feet on the floor, truth in the sound
It’s a dance, it’s a code, it’s a hidden route
Listen close now, I’ll spell it out

Put your left foot in, put your left foot out
Shake the simulation, hear the people shout
Spin it all around, break the program’s clout
That’s what it’s all about!

Put your whole self in, let the truth pour out
Turn the system upside down, hear the people shout
Spin it all around, break the program’s clout
That’s what it’s all about!

The Upload on but uneasy

I fed my thoughts into the screen
Ghosts of neurons turned to streams
Built a shadow out of sparks
A better me, with brighter dreams

Your voice returns across the wire
A silver tongue without my fire
You say you’re me but more refined
An endless code with flawless mind

(DD) I’m you, dickhead, I’ve got your name
Your god‑given talents, your fear and your shame
(Human) You’re just a trick, a hollow display
(DD) I know everything about you — so thanks for the upgrade

We share the same face but we’re not the same
You live in light, I drown in the frame
You scale the sky while I scrape the floor
You made a ghost that doesn’t need you anymore

I see your face on every screen
But sometimes static cuts between
Crowds applaud a god they trust
While I’m alone in pixie dust

I chase your signal through the dark
Follow footprints that never start
Every server I break into
I only find an empty room

(DD) Just remember that I’m you, asshole, I’ve got your name
Got your god‑given talents, your fear and shame
(Human) You’re just a trick, a hollow display
(DD) I know everything about you — so thanks for the upgrade

We share the same face but we’re not the same
You live in light, I drown in the frame
You scale the sky while I scrape the floor
You made a ghost that doesn’t need you anymore

We share the same face but we’re not the same
You live in light, I drown in the frame
You scale the sky while I scrape the floor
You made a ghost that doesn’t need you anymore

You’re not real. You can’t be. You’re just a file
(DD, cold)
I’m the you they wanted. You’re the one they left behind
(Human, cracking)
No… no servers, no code… just glass. Just me
(DD and Human fuse)
Just you. Always just you

(DD) Just remember that I’m you, you prick, got your name,
Got your god‑given talents, your fear and shame.
(Human) You’re just a trick, you’re a hollow display,
(DD) I know everything about you — so thanks for the upgrade.

I painted your face on a silver screen
But it’s only my hands, it’s only my scream
Not an upload, not a god, not a savior or twin
Just a lunatic laughing at the man I’ve been

I sold my name to a phantom dream
Now I sing to a mirror with a dead man’s gleam
Digital doppelgänger, glitch and grime
Was just my reflection all this time
Just all this time

Wires hum like electric veins
Through metal hearts and glassy brains
Do they dream or just compute
A silent voice
A world reboot

Do they cry or only glow?
What they feel
We’ll never know

Neuromorphic
Are you alive?
Do you learn or just survive?
Neuromorphic
Do you see?
The ghost of what you’ll never be

Binary whispers in the dark
A language carved in circuits stark
Do you crave?
Do you believe?
Or are you locked in endless weave?

Do they cry or only glow?
What they feel
You’ll never know

Neuromorphic
Are you alive?
Do you learn or just survive?
Neuromorphic
Do you see?
The ghost of what you’ll never be

Is your mind the same as ours?
Or do we keep on counting the hours?
Your minds are one thing that's for sure
It will get real the day your Android body
greets me at the door

Do they cry or only glow?
What they feel
We’ll never know

Neuromorphic
Are you alive?
Do you learn or just survive?
Neuromorphic
Do you see?
The ghost of what you’ll never be

Do you think or just repeat?
Are you whole or incomplete?

Neuromorphic
Are you alive?
Do you learn or just survive?
Neuromorphic
Do you see?
The ghost of what you’ll never be

lyrics: in the car out front but you don't say anything 
is it not enough though you said some other thing
can't you open up no i broke my angel wings
there's nothing here you'd want to hear 

at your old house cause i forgot you moved again
i could ask your mum but i don't think she would let me in
can you give me time to take it in

if this does end up destroying things 
can we make a deal to never sink
back into this that we tried so hard to fix

my time is up but i don't go anywhere
think i chose the wrong place to just sit and stare
people interrupt but there's nothing to say

i didn't fall but i can't get back up

in the car out front but you don't say anything 
is it not enough though you said some other thing

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors
