Robots Everywhere ft. Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

2024-08-05

Better the food you know than the... robots... you don't..? The Aqua Teens are held captive over in the MoDe (that's slang for Mojave Desert) and it's up to Carl to... sell their house. Well, it's not really up to him, but he's doing it anyways-- until vampire landlord Markula shows up. We're kicking off our Season 5 coverage, getting some insight from ATHF creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis. They're telling us about the creation of new character Markula, their initial ideas for this season, and where the episode name comes from...

Better the food you know than the... robots... you don't..? The Aqua Teens are held captive over in the MoDe (that's slang for Mojave Desert) and it's up to Carl to... sell their house. Well, it's not really up to him, but he's doing it anyways-- until vampire landlord Markula shows up. We're kicking off our Season 5 coverage, getting some insight from ATHF creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis. They're telling us about the creation of new character Markula, their initial ideas for this season, and where the episode name comes from (and NO it's not as obvious as you'd think!) While Robots Everywhere gets hate for not featuring the Aqua Teens, blast that out of your head (with a Gatling gun) and spend some time with it on its own merits. You might just come around to appreciate Robots Everywhere, just like how Carl comes to appreciate the Aqua Teens. Other topics discussed include an upcoming piece of Aqua Teen media, the time a murderer was hiding out nextdoor to me, Radiohead giving their album away (Space Ghost is just gonna copy it anyways), and your dad's ugly sack.
