From family sports film, to horny cartoons, this is week two of our Animation/ Live Action Hybrid Series! We are joined this week by the dynamic duo unmatched by even Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger, that is Cory Nels Jacobsen and Local Lou! Longtime friends of the show now must suffer the wrath that is the 1992 animated noir, Cool World.

Cool World stars Brad Pitt as ex-military now turned cartoon cop as he enters Cool World to stop any ”Noid” from having intercourse with a cartoon (yes this is the actual plot). When artist Jack Deebs sucked into the Cool World, he falls for his doodle in that of Holli Would (Kim Basinger).
