NERD! Episode 45: Darkstalkers the Animated Series

from Jeff Has Cool Friends · host Jeff May

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff continue their season on Single-Season Animated Shows with the poorly thought out and poorly executed syndicated abomination, Darkstalkers!There's a lot to unpack about this abhorrent video game adaptation, so let's get go be deeply inconsistent, add egregiously sexual characters on a children's show, and absolutely fumble the bag, as we tackle one of the most unbelievably terrible cartoons that, thankfully, only lasted one season. And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!
