Presenting the first episode of a brand new season of 'Intimate Animation', brought to you by the online animation magazine skwigly.com

Join Skwigly's Ben Mitchell and Laura-Beth Cowley as they explore, discuss and interview the talents behind animation that deals with adult themes of love, relationships and sexuality.

In this episode we meet relative newcomer Caitlin McCarthy whose recent work as part of London's Strange Beast - including animation for Vox/Netflix and the independent short films "Paraphilia" and "Coldsore" (screening at Bristol's Encounters Festival next month) - has been making a splash.

Also discussed in this episode: The curiously short lifespan of Lisa Hanawalt's promising new adult sitcom "Tuca & Bertie" as well as ongoing Netflix shows "Big Mouth" and "Love Death + Robots". We also pay tribute to the late great animation legend Richard Williams whose body of work includes the iconic modern animation 'bombshell' Jessica Rabbit.
