And thus, we enter......endgame....It's that time, one last time, as we bring our beloved miniseries to a close. And what a note to go out on, amirite?This episode, Howard, Mrs. Hollow and also Hollow sit down and gab about COOL WORLD (1992), a notorious flop that more or less killed Ralph Bakshi's directorial career. But like many of his works, it's gone on to attain a sort of cult status. Is it a case of audiences just not being ready for a transformative work of genius? (Spoiler: no, it's just an atrociously poor movie)Come along on a magical journey as we talk about Gabriel Byrne having sex, films that break themselves, accidental racism, Chekhov's fat guy in a comic store, why Howard is getting so worked up about it, national unity and the importance of knowing how to say no to others. Hollow's wife also doxxes him on air, so don't listen to this episode.We also close out with an overview of our journey, the definitive ranking of films we've watched, and more importantly, identifying the uniquely Bakshian elements that made us do this in the first place.And yes, Howard wrote a new theme with his microsampler.
