    Oh there’s some gems:

    • Hot Streets

    • Lucy, Daughter of the Devil

    • 12oz. Mouse

    • Frisky Dingo

    • Xavier: Renegade Angel

    • Final Space

    • Saul of the Molemen

    • Eagleheart

    • You’re Whole

    • Joe Pera Talks With You

    • Space Dandy

    I’m hyped for Haha, You Clowns but I suspect it won’t be as well received as I hope it will be. Joe Cappa’s YouTube channel has been a staple for me for a long time.

    Also, just a note but Home Movies wasn’t actually Adult Swim original programming, it was originally on UPN which quickly cancelled it and then Cartoon Network picked it up. I love Home Movies because I love hearing Sam Seder of The Majority Report voicing Fenton Mewly.

    Also if you enjoyed Home Movies, you should check out it’s spiritual predecessor from Comedy Central: Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. First season of Home Movies even used the same “Squigglevision” animation style as Dr. Katz.

        I have all three seasons soundtracks, because they’re all so good.

        Joe Pera is my favorite out of all of them, honestly. I wanted to get him to sign my copy of his bathroom book “A Bathroom Book Not For People Pooping pr Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape” when I saw his standup show but the crowd was too big and I gave up.

        Joe Bennett, the creator of Scavenger’s Reign on HBO and Common Side Effects on Adult Swim did the art for Joe Pera’s bathroom book, which is how I first found his art.

      Man, early Final Space had some rough points, but there’s not a lot of shows out there that have hit me harder.

      Olan Rogers (Final Space Creator) has never really felt like a guy who I would expect to hit a deadline… but the Graphic Novel he got going to finish out the series is supposed to finally drop pretty soon. Was supposed to drop awhile back (Summer 2024?), but it does look mostly complete now judging from progress reports. Like, we’re waiting on them to finish the soundtrack for the graphic novel? Olan is doing something weird, but man I’m willing to give it a shot.
