Synopsis

A group of older women swap worries about insurance and neighborhood dangers before revealing a shared fear of robots. Sam Waterston then delivers a solemn sales pitch for Old Glory Insurance, promising protection for people over fifty. Ominous reenactments and a ridiculous mortality chart turn everyday retirement concerns into an imminent mechanical threat. Waterston calmly explains the inexpensive coverage while the ad treats marauding robots as an ordinary hazard that responsible seniors should insure against.
