Oh hi chaos, it’s Reede Fox – and yes, I’ve just watched Spermageddon, which is exactly as unhinged as the title suggests. Imagine someone dared Pixar to make a sex-ed film after two vodka Red Bulls… and the idiots actually did it. That’s the vibe.
Quick rundown:
It’s 80 minutes, Norwegian, directed by Tommy Wirkola (the Dead Snow / Violent Night guy, which suddenly makes sense) and Rasmus A. Sivertsen. It premiered at Annecy in 2024, and dropped in Norway early 2025. If you’ve ever wondered what Sausage Party would look like if it had to teach teenagers about contraception, congratulations – this is basically it.
What’s going on?
There are two storylines:
1. Two teenagers trying to have sex for the first time – awkward in that painfully accurate, “why am I watching this but also I can’t look away” way.
2. Meanwhile, inside the boy’s body, a little sperm called Simen (yes really) and his mates – including Cumilla, which is rude but also iconic – are racing toward The Egg like it’s the Olympics.
Along the way they’re dodging spermicides, wrestling bacterial trolls, and fighting a Silicon Valley sperm wearing an “Ejaculator 9000” suit that absolutely looks like Iron Man’s off-brand cousin from Wish. And yes – there are full musical numbers. One is literally called Abortsangen. You can’t prepare yourself.
So… does it actually work?
Shockingly, kind of?
It’s like a Saturday morning cartoon that escaped the watershed. One minute it’s filthy, the next minute it’s genuinely sweet and saying something sensible about consent and contraception. The inside-the-body adventure scenes are the best part – imaginative, gross, funny, the whole lot.
The songs are annoyingly catchy too. I’m embarrassed about how long one of them stayed in my head. Critics weirdly like it. It’s already getting decent reviews for something that involves a singing sperm nearly dying in a rectum.
But also…
A few jokes go on too long, and a couple of moments feel like the writers were trying way too hard to be “edgy Twitter guy”. The teen romance is cute but doesn’t really go anywhere. But the overall weirdness kinda makes up for it.
My cam-girl brain had thoughts
Consent and contraception: surprisingly clear and woven into the story without lecturing.
First-time nerves: painfully relatable.
Bodies as little worlds: honestly clever – it makes everything click in a simple way.
If I showed this to a nervous newbie before a private session, I’d point out the same thing I always say: the best moments come from talking, laughing, and adjusting. Sex isn’t perfect; it’s real.
Cult classic incoming?
Oh 100%. Low budget, wild premise, festival buzz – this has “midnight movie that people force their friends to watch” written all over it. And for a Norwegian jizz-musical, the box office isn’t even embarrassing.
Should you bother watching?
If you like bold, ridiculous, slightly gross comedy that somehow still has a heart – yes.
If you like soft and gentle? Absolutely not. This film will ruin your evening. For me, the charm wins. It’s messy, stupid, but genuinely cares about showing how awkward and funny sex can be.
Final scorecard
Giggles: 8/10
Cringe: 6/10
Catchy songs: 7/10
Sex-ed value: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10 – chaotic in all the right ways.
If you ever wished someone would sing about what happens after you finish… well, here you go.
Our babes will be taking your phone sex calls later if you want to chat about it – or if you want to duet “Her i Pungen”.
