“SuperMansion” Halloween Special Announced
Giving me yet another reason to yearn for Halloween.
Crackle has announced the October 5th release of “SuperMansion: Drag Me to Halloween,” a new Halloween themed special featuring the voices of Bryan Cranston, Keegan-Michael Key, Jillian Bell, and special guest stars Lake Bell and Phil LaMarr.
“Robot Chicken” fans take note, “SuperMansion” comes from many of the same people as the long-running Adult Swim favorite. Instead of focusing on pop culture and nostalgic toys, though, it’s a superhero-centric show. Aging superhero Titanium Rex — voiced by Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston — has long headed the League of Freedom, a once-proud group of heroes that is on the decline due to an influx of heroes from the millennial generation who have little interest in fighting crime. Rex ends up mentoring the young warriors in the SuperMansion, where they live together, as they try to learn to fight for justice, liberty and the need to stay relevant to society.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
