Dog, there's BUILDUP, or did you not notice the subtle news reports about global warming threatening the world, and thus Rod and Natalie's burgeoning romance.

I think, and this is just me, that he was there to inform the characters about the real dangerous animal, human beings.

I hope we find out why in the sequel.

Does it? We're given no reason for why Lisa is lying about/cheating on Johnny, no reason for the two people to show up and start doing it in the apartment, an introduction of a character getting cancer and never having it followed up with. Maybe cohesive storyline was the wrong phrase, but most of the things introduced in Demic aren't just arbitrarily dropped. Rod gets that Silicon Valley Dream money and forms his own solar power company.
And it's tuxedo football, Birdemic has the basketball scene.

The Room looks like a movie, but feels like a weird couch syrup experience.
