I Was Like a Zombie (Ep 363 - The Powerpuff Girls/Alex Salyer)

My guest this week is Alex Salyer, whose work you may have seen on HBO’s Animals, on Tuca and Bertie, on BoJack Horseman, and also possibly in some of your weirder dreams. Alex is an animation director whose work defies the rules of reality, and any other rules he might happen to run into. Working in adult animation, at this point Alex may have animated more dicks than anyone else in his field — quite an accomplishment for someone who grew up in a conservative religious family. We’ll have that conversation in a minute. First a reminder to check out my YouTube channel where I post videos about queer pop culture. I’ve got one coming this weekend about Jim Nabors, the Andy Griffith Show, and a scandalous fake marriage that nearly ended two closeted actors’ careers. And you can also head over to my Patreon to watch hours of bonus videos featuring stories of TV and film history. And check out my cute little newsletter where I share sneak peeks at what I’m working on at mattbaume.com. And a big thanks to everyone who supports the Sewers of Paris at Patreon.com/mattbaume. And to everyone who’s left a review on Apple podcasts or wherever you listen.
