This Episode Has Common Side Effects - Renegade Animation #178
In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru discuss the inaugural season of Adult Swim's Common Side Effects!
What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-host, the Animation Guru! Between the news that the series we’re discussing today has been renewed for a second season, and the fact that Warner Bros. has closed a deal to allow Ketchup Entertainment to distribute Coyote vs. Acme for $50 million, it’s been a great week leading up to the recording of this podcast. Tune in to hear the full discussion!
Common Side Effects
To be perfectly blunt, this series is everything people are saying they want in adult animation. It’s a conspiracy thriller dramedy that deals with complex themes, including openly criticizing the commoditization of Big Pharma and the American Healthcare system. Just to paint a clearer picture of what to expect based on the creative team, it was executive produced by King of the Hill’s Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, Scavengers Reign’s Joseph Bennett, and writer Steve Hely.
“Common Side Effects features a complex web of stories revolving around a magical cure-all Mushroom. It's an experience that offers laughs, complicated moral quandries about the chase for the next big medical discovery, and some truly out there animated sequences. It's an incredible show that everyone should watch.“ -The Animation Guru
