Please help me identify a movie. I have only seen a couple of YouTube shorts about it, and they never identify the movie name.

Here is what I can remember from the shorts. The 2 main characters are a young (20’s) black man and what appears to be a young white woman. The man says he is an electrician, and that people hire him to build electrical stuff that isn’t strictly legal. One group hired him to siphon off power from an electrical grid, though he specifically uses the term “leech”, not siphon.

The woman may not even be human. Apparently she cannot be harmed. Bullets shot at her don’t hit her, or the gun won’t fire. She is very rough looking, dirty and scraggly hair - not an image of a leading lady at all. She is also very violent and kills multiple people in the movie. She reminds me of Natasha Lyonne, with the same raspy voice, but the actor is definitely NOT Natasha Lyonne.

One of the shorts actually refers to her as a “goddess”. The black man, in that short, calls her “bart”. It also shows a biker gang that is after the man and woman. The man and woman are in an old beat up car, but big, like a 70’s Impala. A biker gang is chasing them, and one biker shoots out the rear window, then shoots a rear tire, causing the car to spin out. The next scene shows the man and woman taped with duct tape to a chain link fence. The woman describes to the man what’s going to happen when the bikers come back. Either she’s going to kill them all, and he will be freed, or he will be killed and she will kill all the bikers, or she will kill some of the bikers, then the man will be killed, and then she will kill the rest of the bikers.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,  
J.

Sorry I forgot there were two. It’s the one called _Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency_ that costarred Elijah Wood. Fiona Douriff plays Bart.

Coincidentally a scene from the show popped up in my algorithm recently. Not one of the scenes you described but it was recently in my brain.

I wasn’t familiar with her before. But now she’s doing a really good job on _The Pitt_. (Daughter of Brad. Hmm, and now Brad Pit just popped into my head.)

Yes, she really is! (I keep seeing her and thinking, “Billy Bibbit!”)
