ICYMI: What A Cartoon Podcast on The "Welcome To Eltingville" Adult Swim Pilot
Added 2022-05-18 22:08:20 +0000 UTCThis is apparently a pretty deep dive into the Eltingville animated pilot. production and...legacy? I guess that's an apt word if people are still discussing it two decades after it aired one time at 11 P.M on a Sunday Night before the Adult Swim was paid any attention to (it only aired two or three times afterward, at most, these were scheduled during even later, deader slots, iirc).
I haven't listened to it, but I've meant to drop a link to it here because from the promotion and descriptions it sounds like something fans of the comics/pilot would enjoy. I'm assuming it's a positive (or mostly positive) rundown and it apparently covers the comic series and gets into the fandom/obsession/behavior themes of both projects.
A tweet about the episode mentioned some pretty deep behind-the-scenes knowledge about the production, budget, director and even touched on what was probably the main reason it was destined to fail (budget). Feels like this is an in-depth, cut-above look at the subject.
