Strap on your happy helmets, kids: you're gonna need them. This week, Abby is joined by actor, pop culture afficionado, and true crime nerd Nate Betancourt for a granular gaze at that iconic Nicktoon of the 1990s, Ren & Stimpy. Come with us for an extremely geeky discussion about the history of animation, the evolution of Nickelodeon, and the lasting impact of Spumco's particular style, followed by a harsh and flinch-worthy look at the rise and (well-deserved) fall of John Kricfalusi. Be advised: things get dark, gritty, and not at all suitable for children.
CONTENT WARNING: The following episode contains extensive discussion of the sexual abuse of children and the methodology of sexual predators. While not graphic in nature, this discussion might be upsetting for some listeners. This material begins at 33:30, and continues through the end of the episode.
