When Satan takes an interest in a poet living in an insane asylum, he must first deal with the poet's cat, Jeoffry. But when the cat proves to be unflinchingly loyal to his favorite human pet, Satan instead gets what he wants by threatening the poet with Jeoffry's death instead. Jeoffry calls on his fellow alley cats for help in the final showdown with Lord Lucifer and with a little supernatural help, the feline alliance successfully destroys the poem 'that would lay waste to all of creation' in a most cat-like way.
What do your appliances think of you? A variety of smart home appliances are interviewed about their existence and their opinions of their human owners.
Set on a US bomber over Europe in WW2, the crew of the Liberty Belle is sent on a mission to bomb a church in the dead of night. Though they successfully level their target, their mission isn’t over as they are attacked by an unholy demon that was summoned by a blood ritual just before. A bloodbath ensues as the demon slaughters one crew member after another, until the final two are barely able to defeat it with the critical help of a deceased crew member's holy cross.
In the far-flung future, humanity has established new societies across the solar system, including one that has revived the mighty dinosaurs and holds deadly races with gladiators trained and bred for riding them. But the finale of this particular race is not what the spectators intended, when the race winner forms a kinship with the tyrannosaur and unleashes bloody chaos.
Aliens have arrived and they seek an audience with the dolphin named Blackfin, as well as a local priest who apparently witnessed the miracle of the dolphin’s resurrection. Though the alien emissary and Father Maguire are able to share basic pleasantries, it soon becomes apparent that the aliens are on a holy crusade for the God of Those Who Swim and humanity begins to pay the price for their lack of goodwill towards ocean dwellers.
When a perpetually dissatisfied cat discovers that his human servant's new robotic butler has both the ability to understand cat language and opposable thumbs, a new alliance and a plot for world domination is hatched.

In a post apocalyptic world, teams vying to control territory within a ruined city must put aside their differences and fight together against the new threat of giant babies who intend to depose all the teams completely. https://retrozap.com/love-death-and-robots-plus/
We revisit the universe of the previous LDR episode, Swarm, where a half-mechanical woman named Spider Rose plots her revenge against the man who murdered her partner. She tries to trade with the Investors for weapons, but they offer her an alien lifeform as a pet instead. Initially reluctant, Spider Rose warms up to the creature as it keeps her company and starts to heal her grief. Her base is then attacked by the same man she was seeking to destroy and though she manages to deal the final blow, she calculates she doesn't have enough food to last until the Investors return. She sacrifices herself so that her new pet can survive and when the Investors come to collect, they find only the cocoon of the creature being reborn.
When aliens visit Earth, a snap decision about the right to bear arms leads to an intergalactic incident. The aliens are provoked to invade and make pretty good progress in wiping out humanity, but when humanity fights back, the aliens must employ heavier weapons, like giant spider robots with mini-black hole weapons. When the humans naturally get their hands on that too, the whole planet is endangered and the end to THIS mini-Earth is a quickly forgettable gaseous blip in the galaxy

Deep in a forest, a band of knights take a break in their journey next to a small lake. Unbeknownst to them, the water is the home of a siren, whose body is covered in golden scales and jewels. She rises from the lake and ensorcels the knights, compelling them to a watery doom. Only one knight, deaf and unable to hear her calls, is immune to her spell and though he is initially frightened of what she can do, his greed drives him closer to the siren, who likewise seems intrigued by his ability to resist her powers. The two engage in a short-lived semblance of courtship, before the knight violently knocks the siren unconscious and strips her of her scales and gems. He disposes of her body in the river when he’s done and the blood that flows from her injuries seems to curse the water. When the knight accidentally takes a drink, his hearing is restored, but the miracle is short lived as the vengeful siren sings out and the knight is helpless. The short ends with his drowned body coming to rest on the lake bottom amongst the rest of his companions.
When a Special Forces team advances into a mysterious cave in pursuit of enemy fighters with a hostage, they end up getting way more than they bargained for. They stumble across several dead bodies just before they’re attacked by a horde of flesh-eating spiders, who chase the survivors deeper into the cave system until they stumble upon a massive cavern with a temple seemingly made for giants. Unable to resist a mysterious pull that calls them closer, the remaining pair of soldiers discover a monstrous demi-god chained in the temple. When it possesses the commanding officer, his subordinate defends herself and then takes extreme action to prevent herself from doing the monster’s bidding. She stumbles out of the cave alive, but blinded and whispering an alien language.
When Farmer Mason discovers that the rats living in his barn and stealing his wheat have evolved intelligence, he turns to an extermination company to deal with the problem. They install several laser turrets, which starts a full-on war, but the rodents take the first round by destroying the equipment. Mason then upgrades, purchasing a literal rat-killing scorpion machine. Its excessively violent methods make Mason uneasy however, and during the final battle within the barn, Mason has a change of heart, destroying the scorpion before it can wipe out the rest of the rats. The act seals a new truce between Mason and the rats, who offer Mason a tiny flask of the moonshine they’ve been brewing with his wheat.
When two humans are investigating a huge nest of highly organized, symbiotic creatures living in space, they think they have discovered an almost perfect system. Believing the creatures to be non-sentient, one researcher convinces the other to try and weaponize their discovery for the benefit of humanity. Unbeknownst to them, their efforts trigger a genetic defensive response in the organisms of the swarm, and the scientists are captured and then forced to comply with the swarm’s demands to breed more humans as new additions to its fleet of symbiont servants.
When a small special forces team encounters a killer cyborg bear on a mission in Afghanistan, half their team is killed before the bear is scared off by a Sergeant from a nearby secret CIA base. They learn that the bear is actually a prototype weapon designed by the CIA that went rogue earlier that day. Upon returning to the secret base they find all its occupants already slaughtered. After stocking up on weapons and ammunition, the team makes their stand. A bloody fight ensues and the team finally manages to neutralize the cyborg monster. But before they can celebrate, the bear initiates a self destruct and the whole place is blown to bits.
When a mini-couple makes a creepy cemetery the scene of their late-night drunken love-making, an unfortunate strike of unholy lightning awakens the mini-dead. The small horde (pun intended) of mini-zombies start to relentlessly hunt and convert other mini-people, and soon enough the mini-world is quickly overrun by them. With no options left, a mini-world leader uses mini-nuclear weapons to smite all of the mini-Earth, ending in a quickly forgettable gaseous blip in the galaxy. https://www.retrozap.com/love-death-and-robots-plus/
