Ep 9. Planet Radio

In Superjail! season 3, episode 9 titled "Planet Radio", the peculiar and surreal adventures of the inmates and the staff of the titular high-security prison take on a sci-fi twist. The episode starts as the Warden installs a radio station on top of the Superjail that is so powerful it can broadcast to any planet in the universe. The Warden then decides to make a radio show with interviews that will reach every corner of the galaxy.

However, the chaos and madness that usually occur within the walls of the prison plus the Warden's own idiosyncrasies make this plan go haywire in no time. The radio show becomes a platform for showcasing absurd talent shows and interviews with exotic and dangerous extraterrestrial beings that are incarcerated in Superjail, such as alien rock stars and space cats.

Meanwhile, Jared, the new employee of Superjail, struggles to maintain order among the inmates, especially when they get too excited about the radio show. The inmates, being usual perpetrators of destruction and violence, decide to form their rock band and participate in the intergalactic rock battle being hosted on the radio. As the battle takes place, their music becomes the soundtrack for a fierce battle between alien species.

The Planet Radio episode portrays a classic tale of power abuse causing an amusing catastrophe. The Warden's eagerness to be a showman leads him to forget about the very reason he built the radio station and allowed the intense broadcasting of the prison's life to the rest of the universe: keeping the inmates contained within the walls of the jail and telling a good story in the process.

The prisoners, on the other hand, are their usual selves, only with a chance to be heard by other inhabitants of the universe. Their irreverent, impulsive, and even affectionate characters provide a notable contrast to the bizarre and grotesque world that surrounds them. They are not merely prisoners, but rather colorful beings fighting with each other to be seen and heard.

Overall, the Superjail! season 3, episode 9 – Planet Radio – is a satirical take on how humans (and their extraterrestrial counterparts) are drawn to the mesmerizing forces of celebrity and fame while disregarding the chaos that they unleash in their lives in the process. With its psychedelic visuals, quirky humor, and unforgettable characters, Planet Radio is a perfect representation of Superjail! at its most entertaining and imaginative moments.
