Nothing soothed the six hour stress of a middle school education like the latch-key promise of afternoon cartoons. Seated there in the private screening room of a converted basement we could loose ourselves in the animated antics of Gummi bears, Cadillac cats, and Hell-spawned Cow Skull demons. Yup …Hell-spawned Cow Skull demons. Looking back on it, children’s cartoons contained some pretty effed up s@%!. And on today’s episode, pop culture critic and podcaster Sara Century evokes some of this darkness with 1981’s “The Fantastic Adventures Of Unico.” So switch off that Beverly Hills Teen rerun and tune instead to what Sara has to say about this.
