Unwatchables welcomes artist Jared Gonzalez to help us discuss Ralph Bakshi, whose profane, controversial animated films helped pave the way for everything from The Simpsons to South Park to Adult Swim. First up is 1972’s Fritz The Cat, the first X-rated feature-length cartoon; followed by 1975’s incendiary racial satire Coonskin (aka Street Fight). Topics include how Bakshi almost singlehandedly broke Disney’s monopoly on animation, how much R. Crumb is to blame for all the animal sex, and how to process the deliberately racist imagery of Coonskin in 2022.


Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
