The lucky few got a sneak preview of Freaknik: The Musical, featuring T-Pain this week, when Titmouse Inc screened it at an LA premiere. The rest of us will have to wait until Sunday night 11:30pm E/P on Adult Swim. Here’s another promo:
Today the Superjail! Season One DVD has been released on parole. The Adult Swim series, which was created by Christy Karacas, Stephen Warbrick and Ben Gruber, is currently being prepped for a second season. Check out the Superjail! interview with the creators over on ColdHardFlash.com.
Tonight at midnight, an all new episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force debuts. It appears to have nothing to do with Valentines Day, unless a talking pile of used condoms count. Meet ATHF’s latest character Rubberman, and then spend the rest of the week trying to get this image out of your head.
Sunday night, I laughed out loud at this clip from Rabbot Redux, the season premiere of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Shake is exploring his bedroom in their new house.
The 9th season of Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force kicks off at midnight on Sunday with a new episode titled Rabbot Redux. In the last year’s season finale, live-action sequences were introduced, and the town’s water was infected – with fire! Find out how it all sorts out. Two teasers below:
