Just subscribed to the Patreon and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I was thrilled to see some of the titles on the livestream list, including OTGW. One of the very few things I actually enjoy re-watching from time to time & yes, it's a go-to Halloween/Fall watch. I recently did a deep dive into the show for a spooky-themed Powerpoint party with my friends (go look it up if you haven't heard of this, I highly recommend for nerdy friend group party ideas), and oh boy. The layers to everything in this show. Gift for anyone here who hasn't found the incredible art book yet, because you can't buy it for less than $500 used: https://archive.org/details/the-art-of-over-the-garden-wall-2017/mode/2up I'd like to point out (because I didn't catch it until my third watch), that Greg & Wirt are most likely from the 70's! See: - VERY 70's wallpaper & wood paneling in the house - mushroom jar in the kitchen is a direct rip of vintage 70s ceramics you can find on etsy/ eBay etc. - the 70's cars (my dad had almost the same model as the police officer's) - the Halloween decorations also reminiscent of 70's decor - Sarah's helmet & flight jacket - Jason Funderberker's entire look is straight out of a 70's menswear ad - Cassette tapes & player's were invented in the 60's but didn't become popular until the late 70's; Which means in the 70's, it would be reasonable if not everyone (Sarah) had a tape player! Also, Wirt's tape player (seen in his room) is a 70's model. - The computer panel in Wirt's hospital room also looks very "retro". That said, I'd love to hear what anyone thinks about the choice to originate them in this decade and how that impacts their character development or the story overall! If you want to check out the slideshow I made with some of my fave facts & theories in the show (Dante's Inferno, animation history, & more!), be sure to put it in "presentation" mode to catch everything here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IEQL9vk49eVCz55BLwBqIFTYAtkrgUohALv-dDebpI8/edit?usp=sharing

I saw a live black box production of Threepenny Opera when I was in college where the actors stayed in character and harassed you during intermission and yeah... props to everyone involved. I needed a shower and some ibuprofen when it was over. Side note: German industrial band Rammstein is hugely influenced by Brecht (not surprising). They even have a song called "Haifisch" (shark) that's a tribute to Mack the Knife.
