Not Prague related but too good not to share. Nice shoes (by Jonathan Lawrence and Tommy Mack) is part short film, part music video, part wild nostalgic, sci-fi ride. There are over 40 sci-fi references – how many can you spot?

Synopsis: A high profile government agent is called in to witness the autopsy of an extra terrestrial after its spacecraft crashes on Earth. In a desperate act of compassion, the agent abducts the alien and runs through time and space to save the alien’s life and return it to the mothership. But in this case…time and space is a chaotic trespassing through a series of random retro sci-fi references.
