THE CARTOONS:
Buck Billy, an agitated hillbilly who lives in a trailer park in the southern Midwest. Buck Billy’s character is that of an opinionated podcaster who can’t help but spout out about the goings on in the world. Buck Billy’s previous podcasts include rants on alcohol, Viagra, Cardi B, Corey Feldman, holiday parking, and more.
Co-created by artist/director Frank Forte and actor/director Jesse Bernstein, Buck Billy is a short form comedic animated series that’s done in a rough cartoon style that matches its coarse and edgy content.
Pissed off Possum: a small angry misinformed marsupial spouts off on daily news stories and things that bother him, which is pretty much everything.
Mr. Pigglesworth: is a tribute to the classic cartoons like Old Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Ren and Stimpy. Mr. Pigglesworth is a pathetic little pig who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Expertly animated by Gene McGuckin.
Cosmic Kandi’s Like Total EDM Vlog, a twenty-something millennial Raver girl podcasts from her bedroom and any EDM club she might be at. She’s trying to find herself in the midst of going clubbing, dating DJs, and trying to find a ride to Burning Man.
The Ultra Mega Super Squad, a reality show styled Superhero documentary. This animated dysfunctional group of superheroes may be able to do some good for the earth if they could only stop talking behind each other’s backs.
The Devil, a reluctant Lucifer. The Devil has a podcast. Yes, believe it or not Satan is tired of getting blamed for all the bad things that happen in the world and he’s here to set things straight.
ANIME! ANIME! Meet Jazen. The most enthusiastic fan of Anime you’ll ever know! He somehow finds himself meeting up with all of his Anime idols. He tries to have a conversation with them, but his fast talking, annoying, ADHD personality always gets in the way.
Garry Goth, a teenage goth kid, trying to get along in high school. Girls, parties, exams, these are all the things Garry is trying to deal with as he invites us into his world.
The Cletus and Floyd Show, is the tale of two hillbilly brothers. Cletus is a big brawny overbearing Alpha male and his little brother Floyd is a nervous, jittery paranoid fool. The two of them get into all sorts of mischief. Also inspired by Classic cartoons of the 1950s.
