THE PRETTY LITTLE PODCAST!

The Maxx (MTV Series, 1995)


Listen Later

Once again we pull from the animation well of MTV to discuss The Maxx, a strange animated series based on comic veteran Sam Keith's (Wolverine, The Sandman, Ojo) 35 issue comic series of the same name. This stream of conscience  psychedelic road trip of an animated series has a lot going on...like, a whole lot. Although muddled down with a convoluted plot that is loosely strung together with questionable character motivations, The Maxx still holds up strongly to the test of time in the visual department of animation history, even pioneering some of the tricks we would see in cartoons that came out after this. Can plot and character development take a back seat to visual appeal for something this ambitious to succeed, or did it underperform on every fundamental level to remain relevant in the modern zeitgeist? Chad and Jess are back to talk about their experience. Bon Appetit!
