Pinky and the Brain: Cerebral Thonkening (2022) was created in the aftermath of the wildly successful Animaniacs cartoon, and directed toward an adult audience on Adult Swim. Thanks to this detatchment from being a children's cartoon, the show was allowed to be as bitingly satirical as possible, prodding and exposing the inner machinations of the entertainment industry, including abusive CEO's who are overpaid, crunch time on staff members and sexual harassment. The show was also infamous for mocking the policies of Kids WB, especially in regards to executive meddling and inserting of characters that were not necessary or wanted. While massively popular with fans, pressure from outside forces and unhappy companies taking offense forced the show to be cancelled after two seasons. It came back a few years later, but with the biting hand humor replaced with what many fans consider to be dialed down gross out humor and vulgarity, leading to season 3 being cut short.

Crucifix Demi (2023) – An anime about a sexually deviant princess named Demi, who is exiled by her bigoted kingdom to live out life sentence inside a female-only prison far from civilization. These prisoners are used as canon fodder and a first line of defence against the Yziliens, a race of massive unidentified tentacle monsters that appear from mysterious portals that seem intent on enslaving human women. With this certain death sentence looming in her near future, Demi must harden her resolve and become the warrior princess she is destined to be. But the Yziliens aren't the only threat she must face. Demi will be forced to confront prison rapists, emotionally murderous cellmates, magical suits of armor made from frying pans, and tripping hazards that seem to always seem to conveniently direct one's face into a nearby crotch.

Rated R for Sci-Fi Monster Violence and Questionable Sexual Content.

Cricifix Demi was critically panned worldwide for its blatant misogyny, scenes of softcore pornography and its nonsensical plot twists. It was canceled after only one season after a surge of moral outrage, but maintains a small underground fandom of neckbeards who claim that the show is "funny and sexy."

"In a post apocalyptic wasteland, human survivors make a deal with vampires..."
Spoils of War, a 2016 film by Universal. Centuries ago, mankind was ravaged by a nuclear war. Now, a warrior tribe is making plans to continue the war by beginning a quest to find a hidden cache of bombs to use as leverage against the world. As they clash with other tribes, a small village haunted by things in the night finally find out what their tormenters are: a tribe of vampires, all that remains of a shadow society that was also hit hard by the war. The two tribe soon comes up with a possible deal: some of the strongest warriors will allow themselves to be turned to defeat the warmongers and the vampires will allowed to control the village, feasting and turning until they can regain some semblance of themselves. This soon creates another angle of the sides debating the ethics and logistics, hampered by not only the time clock of the quest for the nukes but an illness that is turning vampires into what they call "the Unquenched"......

The film was a B O M B. It was despised for trying to mash up a Mad Max style action thriller, a allegorical sci fi drama, and a romance between the village prince and the vampire queen in 180 minutes. About the only thing people will give it is the practical effects for the Unquenched and vampires were amazing.

Not of This Earth: the Musical

a musical adaptation of the Corman sci fi movie about an alien, calling himself Mr. Johnson, killing and collecting blood to save his planet from a deadly plague. The musical cast Mr. Johnson in a more sympathetic light, and has the umbrella bat take on a larger role as Johnson's pet. It also creates a subplot with a love triangle between Jeremy, the nurse, and Harry. The musical did well on Broadway, with critics saying that " it makes the monster seem human, and the songs will remain in your head for years."

The Mouse and the Mercenary, An episode of Tales of Magic, Tales of Mystery, an animated anthology dark fantasy horror series described as "Disney's The Twilight Zone", hosted by a travelling witch based heavily off of Baba Yaga (voiced by Tress MacNeille) and her cockatrice familiar. The mouse in question is a gluttonous demon who wants all the grain in a village for itself, and organises things to the wishes help it get so, the exterminator being a selfish dick who wastes them on personal gain, like junk food and beer. In the end, he ends up explosively dying of indigestion and explodes all over town, ruining the soils and causing the crops both the villagers and mouse so wanted. The mouse gets further gets its just desserts when it gets eaten by a snake.

"A toxic fan goes after focus group audience members he believes ruined a movie"
The Rider Cut, a tounge in cheek horror comedy about a mad man who kidnaps a focus group and a producer to torture them in the hopes of getting the legendary film he's sure the director made that was cut apart. It was a major success not only for it's precise skewing of toxic fandom and how it goes after the wrong people, but also for being sympathetic, showing Tom Craven, the said fan, as a man who had connections to the source material beyond being a fan and portrayed him as a tragic figure. Seth Green's performance as him quickly joined Toni Collete's Annie Graham and Lupita Nyongo's Red as bafflingly uncredited tour de force performances.

Don't Watch

An investigator finds a collection of flash drives, labeled " warning", in an abandoned house. To find out the fate of the vanished Mercer family, he watches the video logs recorded on them. After moving into a new home, the Mercers find a portion of the basement blocked off. They find an unusual machine and a door that leads to nowhere, and think nothing of it. Strange happenings start to unnerve them, and they become aware of a frightening presence in their home that they can't explain. The occurrences become more terrifying, and they discover the door to nowhere leads to an alternate, and nightmarish, reality, with some of the inhabitants of that reality invading theirs. They try to escape the house, but the children feel drawn to the door by the inhabitants. The children vanish, and the parents decide to try and rescue their children. The vlog ends there.

The investigator isn't sure if the people are crazy or not, but feels like he's being watched.

Captive State, a science fiction film about a couple who work at a cheap roadside menagerie who get abducted by an alien species apparently smarter then humans. The film deals with the idea of what sentience is and where if it ever crosses into sapience, and animal rights and the morality of keeping animals in captivity for non-conservation or education purposes.

Its writer has denied they based its main protagonist off Joe Exotic.

Sorry, but I can't think of anything that woudn't annoy everyone with politics. I think everyone is more than sick of politics at this point.

I'm not, for one. Also, you could have just said that before.

Claws of Kitadani
A comic illustrated by Ricardo Delgado and published by Dark Horse Comics as a homage to 90's merch-fuelled works. It revolves around a clutch of raptors: Deinonychus leader Bobby, Achillobator second in command Mark, Utahraptor muscle Kirk, and Velociraptor twin scouts Roy and Halszka, who were all brought to the present by a time travel project done between the US and Japanese governments and the sinister Claudius Inc, headed by John Claudius. The team is raised by both Akira Kitadani, an elderly japanese man who was trained in the art of ninjitsu, and Dr. Ray Furman, an african-american palaeontologist.

The comic was well-received, and had a cartoon and toyline made.

Pokemon: Ultimate prize

This game has players arriving at a castle to do battle with one another to win gold flags. With each gold flag, you advance to a higher team until you reach the throne room and face the Jewel Knights. It also includes mini games, such as one on one duels and obstacle courses. The amazing graphics have been called the best of any Pokemon game so far.

Last Calls, a 1993 comedy starring Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, and Eddie Murphy, where a janitor at a government lab inadvertedly helps make a supposedly flaws prototype time machine work properly, and uses it for petty, silly stuff with his friends like drinking the same beer at a bar over and over. They soon find its damaging the space time fabric, but he's too addicted to it to quit.
