American Adultimation EP. 1: BoJack Horseman
WELCOME TO AMERICAN ADULTIMATION WITH LINDSAY HENEFER! I discuss American made adult animated TV shows and movies from a variety of streaming platforms. I specifically focus on the animation style, storyline, and overall aesthetic of said show or movie. I also interview experts on the particular show being discussed.
This episode discusses the Netflix series BoJack Horseman and its anthropomorphized version of Hollywood. The show balances this darkness with hilarious jokes and puns that make it a real spectacle of American made adult animation. Thank you, background artist, Cyndee Guerrieri, for answering my questions about BoJack Horseman's animation style on this episode.
