Episode Description
Nathan and Ryan step into the wonderfully weird world of Twice Upon a Time (1983), a cult animated fantasy that feels like a Saturday-morning cartoon filtered through counterculture surrealism. Using the experimental “Lumage” animation process, the film tells the story of a timid dream-maker and a cynical hero teaming up to stop nightmares from overtaking reality. The hosts break down the movie’s offbeat humor, psychedelic visuals, and why it stands as one of the strangest non-Disney animated features of the era. It’s charming, unsettling, and completely unlike anything else released in the early ’80s.
