Screambox has revealed a brutal roster of horror titles for July, offering fans a blend of classic slashers, international thrillers and an all-new original series. The month kicks off with Uncle Sam, the Independence Day slasher that turns patriotic pageantry into a blood-soaked spectacle. On the eleventh, the service uncages William Lustig’s cult staple Maniac alongside the ’70s video nasty The Toolbox Murders, post-apocalyptic biker romp The New Barbarians, psychedelic vampire shocker Vampyres and two lesser-known gems in Fire and Ice and The Killing Hour.

Mid-month brings Screambox’s first foray into original programming with The Trouble with Tessa, a two-episode premiere on the fifteenth. The series follows a disgraced documentarian who unearths a cache of mysterious tapes and sets out to expose the darkest secrets of a picture-perfect town. Viewers seeking surreal thrills need look no further than The Stendhal Syndrome from giallo maestro Dario Argento, which arrives...

Screambox has revealed the new films that are joining the Bloody Disgusting-powered horror streaming service in July 2025.

Uncle Sam wants you… dead! Celebrate Independence Day with the 4th of July slasher on Screambox. Follow it up with another cult classic from genre luminary William Lustig, Maniac.

Screambox Original horror series The Trouble with Tessa debuts with a two-episode premiere on July 15. The show follows a disgraced documentarian who unearths a box of old tapes and sets out to unravel the dark secrets buried in a seemingly perfect town’s past.

Other highlights include Dario Argento‘s surreal giallo The Stendhal Syndrome, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead‘s cosmic horror mind-bender The Endless, ’70s video nasty The Toolbox Murders, and record-breaking South Korean supernatural horror The Wailing.

The month’s full schedule is as follows:

July 1: Uncle Sam July 11: Fire and Ice, Maniac, The Killing Hour, The New Barbarians, The Toolbox Murders,...

I recently re-watched and reviewed Hawk the Slayer, which was a fun, albeit utterly flawed piece of silly fantasy flim-flam. It had the sole intention of making money, which seems as likely as someone who goes out and spends all their money on lottery tickets.

None of the building blocks were in place to make a successful film.

Compare it to my reality TV pitch. A bunch of strangers, with no discernible talent or skills, meet on a beach and are given some hours in which to build a working submarine. The parts supplied for the contestants are not those of a submarine (the contestants do not know this). I wish them luck. In their watery tomb.

Fire and Ice was a 1983 film, brought to us by the Fantasy union of the twin towers of director Ralph Bakshi and fantasy art icon Frank Frazetta. Bakshi might not be to everyone...

We begin with testicles—titan-sized testicles yanked clean from the pelvis of a slumbering devil by a wandering man in chains. That opening is metal Af and unforgettable, and just about par for the course across this rotoscopic animated film by brother filmmakers Lauris and Raitis Abele—a gloomy squall of flesh, faith, and fucking that harkens back to the gory, glory days of Heavy Metal magazine and adult fantasy animation of the 1980s.

In the 17th century, an unholy darkness grips the Livonian village of Zaube. Domineering local pastor Bukholcs (Regnars Vaivars), with the help of his lame, acquiescent adoptive son and servant, Klibi (Jurgis Spulenieks), tries to lead his flock down a path of righteousness, but standing in his way is the people’s reliance on local alchemist and tavern maid Neze (Agate Krista). After the theft of a holy relic from his bedroom, Bukholcs accuses Neze of witchcraft,...

If you miss Escape from the 21st Century‘s one-night-only theatrical release on June 9, you’ll be able to stream the Chinese genre-bender exclusively on Fandor beginning June 27.

The frenetic amalgam of sci-fi, action, adventure, suspense, coming of age, and comedy is written and directed by Yang Li.

It follows three friends who discover they have the power to travel back and forth 20 years into the future with a sneeze. However, the future is not as good as they hoped, and they need to take on the responsibility of saving the world.

Ruoyun Zhang, Chuxi Zhong, Yang Song, Chenhao Li, Xiaoliang Wu, Yanmanzi Zhu, and Zhengrong Wen star.

I wrote in my review out of Buff, “Maximalist in every sense of the word, Escape from the 21st Century plays like a hyperactive blend of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Kung Fury, and Stand by Me.

Miranda Yousef’s documentary, “Art for Everybody,” turns its lens upon Thomas Kinkade, the artist whose moniker, the “Painter of Light,” became a ubiquitous cultural watermark. Kinkade’s canvases, instantly recognizable for their luminous cottages nestled in impossibly serene landscapes, achieved a level of popular adoration that remains staggering.

His images of tranquil gardens and softly glowing windowpanes offered a pictorial escape, a world scrubbed clean of disquiet. Yet, the film promises, and indeed delivers, a gaze that extends beyond this heavily merchandised effulgence, probing the more shadowed recesses of the man who painted America’s aspirations for peace and an uncomplicated existence. The viewer is invited to look closer at an artist whose story is far from the simple serenity he so famously depicted.

An Empire Built on Light

Thomas Kinkade’s artistic signature was the creation of a specific, aspirational tranquility. His paintings are studies in saccharine perfection:...

Adult animation isn’t something that gets talked about enough. Paving the way for today’s movie were things like Fritz the Cat, Lord of the Rings which is not expressly adult of course, and Wizards. Let us know if we should talk about Wizards in some form by the way. Other movies that firmly tie into a similar vein of Heavy Metal are American Pop from the same year and Fire and Ice from a couple years later. While a bunch of the animated movies listed or even not listed fall under the sex comedy, fantasy, or recreation of modern life, Heavy Metal is something else entirely. It’s an anthology sci-fi, horror, comedy, action, fantasy that has a rocking soundtrack and earns its hard R rating. It was held back from being on video for a while due to licensing issues but has become an endearing cult classic 44 years later.

Fire Country has had one of the fastest franchises expansions in recent memory. The show has introduced tons of characters in its three seasons, and pushed its protagonists in unexpected and exciting directions. Unfortunately, one of these characters is set to walk away in the season finale, set for April 25.

Jake Crawford (Jordan Calloway) has been eyeing the door for a good chunk of season 3. The Station 42 Captain was suspended for disobeying orders to evacuate a mountain fire in the episode "Fire and Ice," and the character subsequently voiced a desire to become a Battalion Chief. The episode ended with Crawford calling a Battalion Chief and asking when he knew it was time to leave his previous gig with Station 42. In the episode "Eyes and Ears Everywhere," Crawford made a toast to his "two weeks notice," all but confirming his master plan.

Jake Crawford is set to depart Fire Country...

Fire Country is currently in its third season, with a spinoff series called Sheriff Country now in the works, and another possible one called Surfside.

Find out who is set to appear in Sheriff Country so far!

Ahead of the season finale, the CBS show has been teasing a storyline for one of its characters that suggests their time on the series is short.

Nearly all of the original cast members remain on the show, but viewers are convinced that one is about to exit.

Keep reading to find out more…

Jordan Calloway as Jake Crawford – Possibly Leaving?

Viewers are speculating that Jordan will be leaving Fire Country.

It started with Season 3 Episode 11, titled “Fire and Ice,” in which he was suspended for disobeying Fire Division Chief Sharon Leone’s orders to evacuate a mountain fire because of her planned water dump, which would have melted enough snow to cause an avalanche.

Is Jake (Jordan Calloway) really leaving Fire Country? Episode 18 left the impression the final two episodes of season three could be Jake’s last. Hopefully, his status won’t be left hanging and fans will get the answer one way or another when the two-part season three finale airs on Friday, April 25, 2025 beginning at 9pm Et/Pt.

Series star and creator Max Thieriot directs part one of the two-parter.

Thieriot stars as Bode, Billy Burke plays Vince, Kevin Alejandro is Manny, and Diane Farr is Sharon. Stephanie Arcila plays Gabriela, Jordan Calloway is Jake, Jules Latimer is Eve, and Leven Rambin guest stars as Audrey James.

Episode 19 “A Change in the Wind” Plot: When a fire erupts at a gas station, Bode and Manny jump into action to protect the patrons and property, on part one of the two-hour season finale.

Episode 20 “I’d Do It Again” Plot: Extremely high...

Freddie Highmore directed episodes of Bates Motel and The Good Doctor, and now he’s added Fire Country director to his resume. Highmore directs season three episode 18, “Eyes and Ears Everywhere,” airing on Friday, April 18, 2025 at 9pm Et/Pt.

Max Thieriot stars as Bode, Billy Burke plays Vince, Kevin Alejandro is Manny, and Diane Farr is Sharon. Stephanie Arcila plays Gabriela, Jordan Calloway is Jake, Jules Latimer is Eve, and Leven Rambin guest stars as Audrey James.

“Eyes and Ears Everywhere” Plot: The station 42 crew responds to a routine house fire that escalates into a dangerous situation for one of their own.

Billy Burke as Vince Leone and Max Thieriot as Bode Leone in ‘Fire Country’ season 3 episode 18 Fire Country Synopsis, Courtesy of CBS:

Fire Country stars Max Thieriot as Bode Leone, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California,...

Bode (Max Thieriot) will always take any opportunity to play the hero, and while sometimes he can be annoying, he does what needs to be done at other times. The penultimate airing of Fire Country Season 3 finds him going head-to-head with the people involved in the Oxalta deal as he and Manny (Kevin Alejandro) threaten to blow it apart. Meanwhile, "The Station 42 crew responds to a routine house fire that escalates into a dangerous situation for one of their own," reads the logline for Fire Country Season 3, Episode 18, "Eyes and Ears Everywhere." Still, in the episode airing on Friday, April 18, Jake (Jordan Calloway) considers leaving the station as tensions reach new highs. CBS released a sneak peek of the episode, previewing these storylines.

Episode 17, "Fire and Ice," found Jake contending with the fact that Station 42 is a family affair, and now that the wayward son has found his way home,...

Colter took his survival talents to the snowy mountains and quickly found himself in a world of trouble.

Only Colter would be out looking for missing sisters and somehow find himself involved in some weird ritual in the middle of nowhere with zero backup, one gun, and a dream.

Tracker Season 2 Episode 16 was a wild one, but that’s come to be expected with Tracker.

(Darko Sikman/CBS)

Tracker prides itself on being anything but ordinary.

Sure, we get cases of the week, which is a formula as old as time, but we’re not getting your average missing person every week. They deal with cases that fall far outside the box, which sets it apart from most other action dramas on television.

This could have easily been a whole hour of Colter out in the wilderness battling the elements and trying to find Shelly and Brianna, but things went...

By the time Maeve Harrigan is casually suggesting the assassination of a grieving mother as “Plan B,” you realize the Harrigans don’t really do strategy.

They do theater and spectacle. Most of all, they do survival at any cost, preferably with as much psychological damage as possible.

MobLand Season 2 Episode 3 takes everything that’s been simmering in the first two hours — grief, revenge, dysfunction, and half-whispered threats — and turns it into something colder, more calculating.

(Luke Varley/Paramount+)

The bomb that opens the episode may not kill anyone, but emotionally, it’s a declaration of war.

And by the end of the hour, there’s no mistaking who’s willing to get their hands bloody… or who already has.

The Setup Is Explosive, But the Fallout Is All Psychology (Luke Varley/Paramount+)

Kevin’s house gets blown to bits, and instead of calling the cops or retreating from danger,...

Sami might think she’s got a handle on her past now that she’s in therapy, but she wouldn’t be who she is if she were right about that!

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 4-14-25 have Sami jumping into a kiss with another one of her exes.

We’ve been here before, many times, and it remains to be seen if Sami’s new attitude will make any difference to the fallout.

(Peacock/Screenshot) Yes, Sami Kisses Rafe Again, and This Can’t Possibly End Well

Technically, Rafe is single, and as far as we know, so is Sami.

Still, this is a bad idea. Rafe isn’t like Ej — he’s a decent guy, and he and Sami were a strong couple once.

Unfortunately, he just got out of a relationship with Jada, and that breakup is the definition of a split for the sake of drama!

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 17 “Fire and Ice.”] Don’t go, Jake! Jordan Calloway‘s character is seriously considering his future at Station 42 on Fire Country. We’ve already seen him wondering what his future could hold considering he knows that the “keys to the kingdom,” a.k.a. Vince’s (Billy Burke) job as battalion chief, will one day be his son Bode’s (Max Thieriot), now that he’s free and part of Cal Fire. Vince awkwardly overheard him talking about it with Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) in the previous episode, and all he really did was give him the cliche “I’m not dead yet” line. But Jake’s clearly not happy with how things are going at the firehouse, continuing into Episode 17. Now, Jake finds out that Vince gave the Ok for Gabriela’s new love interest, photographer Finn (Blake Lee), to do a ride-along and take action...

Well, looks who is back on Fire Country. I knew the third season wouldn’t waste a talent like Constance Zimmer. These writers are really pulling out all the stops to elevate this show.

And kudos to the hands behind the series for keeping things consistent. It really seemed like the show was going to fall back on old habits a few times throughout “Fire and Ice.”

I have to hand it to Fire Country Season 3 Episode 17. The arguments and drama felt real and not forced. The episodic case’s plotting was genius and possibly had an unexpected effect on some viewers.

(Sergei Bachlakov/CBS)

The bottom line is that this has been the best season of Fire Country, and, ironically, I hope whatever spark lit a fire under the writers never dies down.

For one, when have we ever been bigger fans of Miss Gabriela Perez than we have...

Fire Country Season 3, Episode 17 marks the acting debut of Grammy-nominated artist Jelly Roll in the CBS series alongside guest stars Constance Zimmer and Jeff Fahey. 

The firefighter drama series returns in "Fire and Ice" as the crew of Station 42 deals with a ski resort accident. Meanwhile, Vince has to reconnect with his father before it's too late.

Good grief, Shawn Hatosy has to be the hardest-working man in television right now.

And it’s well-deserved because the man is truly one of the greats. Fortunately, for fans of the actor, The Pitt and Rescue Hi-Surf may have wrapped up their seasons, but we’re still getting some quality time with the man on Chicago Pd.

After a brief hiatus, we’re back with Chicago Pd Season 12 Episode 18. We’re returning to the big Reid arc as Voight and Chapman work double time trying to take this man down.

(Elizabeth Sisson/NBC) Reid Has Voight in a Vice Grip

It’s been frustrating to see that Reid has Voight in a vice grip. Still, one of the season’s pitfalls is that Reid is this significant threat looming over the season. Still, it’s so infrequently and inconsistently covered that it sometimes loses momentum.

Nevertheless, Reid is this...

Though it is only in its freshman season, Watson has certainly gathered together quite the cast of characters. Two such skilled cast members were kind enough to sit down with TV Fanatic.

Before we get into it, though, if you haven’t had a chance to see the show, it is incredible. What stands out the most are the episodic cases.

Watson has made true medical mysteries its bread and butter. Which means the Holmes Clinic is going to need some of the best and brightest to heal the terminally ill.

(Sally Montana/CBS)

Eve Harlow and Rochelle Aytes stopped by to discuss some of the developing drama and huge twists headed our way on Watson Season 1 Episode 9, “Take a Family History.”

Don’t worry, though, because while Eve does discuss what’s in store for Dr. Ingrid, I took the liberty of hiding any spoilers because, trust me, it is Good.

Some characters are written to grow, change, and carry the weight of a show’s emotional arc.

Others are written to… stand nearby. Quietly. Maybe throw in a reaction shot or a one-liner.

These are the characters I call tactical wallpaper — the ones who’ve been on our screens for years but somehow still feel like strangers.

(Peter Gordon/NBC)

They’re not guest stars. They’re not day players. They’re part of the ensemble. And yet, we know nothing about them.

They get no story arcs, deep emotional beats, or even a vague mention of life outside the job. They just exist. Always there, never seen.

Let’s start with Chicago Fire. It’s one of the worst offenders, and I say that with love.

Tracker Season 2 Episode 16 Puts Colter in the Snow with No Service, No Plan, and a Family from Your Nightmaresby Whitney Evans MobLand Season...

CBS is officially scheduled to air the next, new episode 17 of Fire Country's current season 17 tonight, April 11, 2025, and it will feature a chair lift malfunction debacle taking place at a ski resort and more. According to CBS' official episode 17 press release information, the writers decided to name this episode, "Fire and Ice." This episode will feature the Station 42 crew, Vince and more in some new scenes. The first spoiler scoop reveals that a chair lift will malfunction at a ski resort in this episode, and it will surely cause an accident to happen. In response, the station 42 team will try to handle this matter as quickly as they can. A second and final spoiler teaser for this new episode 17 is telling us that Vince will try to connect with his father on some level. However, he will find it to be a very difficult endeavor.

At first glance, Yellowstone and a Hallmark holiday movie have nothing in common — one’s a blood-soaked Western dynasty and the other’s a low-stakes seasonal romance in a town that smells like cookies.

But here’s the twist: many viewers who love one also love the other.

Though drastically different in tone and aesthetics, these two storytelling empires are built on the same emotional scaffolding: family, loyalty, romance, grief, homecomings, and the eternal hope that love or legacy will somehow make everything right.

(Paramount+/Hallmark Screenshot)

It’s not as strange as it sounds. The Taylor Sheridan universe may wrap its stories in barbed wire and generational trauma, but at their core, they’re still deeply soapy.

His shows aren’t grounded in gritty realism — they’re emotionally heightened, dramatically stylized, and sometimes downright operatic. Sound familiar?

Tracker Season 2 Episode 16 Puts Colter in the Snow with No Service, No Plan,...

Jon Hamm’s Andrew “Coop” Cooper doesn’t fall from grace so much as he’s pushed.

Fired under false pretenses, replaced emotionally by an NBA all-star, and quietly erased from the only world he ever knew — Coop doesn’t fight back. Not at first. He just… absorbs it.

The heartbreak, the humiliation, the financial gut-punch. He’s not angry — he’s stunned. That’s what makes him dangerous.

(Courtesy of Apple TV+)

On the premiere of Apple TV+‘s Your Friends & Neighbors, Coop’s undoing doesn’t feel like karma. It feels like a rigged system finally cashing in on its favored sons, and Coop realizing too late that he was never one of them.

Yes, he slept with a younger employee. One time. Months ago. And yes, she was clearly into him.

Well, we’ve known Unique was back since Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 10, but Raq didn’t.

She, and everybody but Early and a veterinarian, thought Unique was long gone, no longer a threat on the Southside. She and everyone thought wrong.

(Courtesy of Starz)

I was starting to worry about how long they would keep Unique hidden because there’s only so long you can hide in plain sight.

With each move Unique made, he was putting himself out there more and more, and at some point, somebody was going to see him and realize, “Damn, you look a lot like Unique.”

Unique would then open his mouth and make a quip about coming back from the dead, and the jig would be up.

What is it about the back half of this season of Grey’s Anatomy?

It lacks pizazz or real excitement, and while Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 14 wasn’t the worst offering the season has had, it was just okay.

The mentorships and friendships are making strides, but the relationships? Those are falling apart.

(Disney/Mike Taing)

Perhaps one of the hour’s issues was the lack of presence for some of the series’ robust cast. Some of the characters were utilized in unusual ways.

The tension between Teddy and Ben remains bizarre, and his attempts to return to practicing medicine have been very clumsy. It’s hard to tell what’s working with him and what isn’t.

I’ve been critical of Law & Order: Svu Season 26, but when it gets it right, it Really hits hard.

Law & Order: Svu Season 26 Episode 18 (“The Accuser”) had everything that I love about this show.

It didn’t hold back, but it also didn’t hit the audience over the head with its message — and that’s especially important when it explores issues like the relationship between trauma and crime.

(Peter Kramer/NBC) Law & Order: Svu Season 26 Episode 18 Blurred The Line Between Victim And Perpetrator

“The Accuser” focused on the blurry line between victim and perpetrator, which allowed it to ask some difficult, hard-hitting questions.

House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal has weighed in on George R.R. Martin’s since-deleted blog posts criticizing the creative decisions that were made in season 2 of the HBO series.

Martin teased late last August that he planned to write “about everything that’s gone wrong with House of the Dragon.” Mainly, he was critical of Condal’s decision to omit a character that was key in Martin’s Fire & Blood and how that will likely impact the story going forward.

Condal previously addressed the challenge of adapting Fire & Blood for the small screen, calling Martin’s tome a “history book” that doesn’t necessarily come with fully fleshed-out moments or characters.

As for Martin’s blog post: “It was disappointing,” he told EW in an interview. “I will simply say I’ve been a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire for almost 25 years now, and working...

Fire Country is enlisting another music star in an upcoming episode. Jelly Roll will guest star in Fire Country Season 3, Episode 17, "Fire and Ice," airing on CBS on April 11.

CBS released images from the episode, previewing Roll's Fire Country debut and the ski resort accident that keeps the station on toes in a new environment.

Fire Country was renewed for a fourth season last month, and a sneak peak for the season 3 finale recently dropped.

The director Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted for his breakout movie, Conan the Barbarian, told the Austrian action legend he should change his signature look. Schwarzenegger first rose to prominence when he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Debut Acting in a Motion Picture for his appearance in 1976's Stay Hungry, before following it with the acclaimed bodybuilding docudrama Pumping Iron. His breakthrough role as an action icon came with 1982's John Milius sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian, but the director could have been very different if things had gone to Schwarzenegger's original plan.

It seems that the Terminator 2 star originally wanted the project to be helmed by American animator and filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, who made the dark fantasy Fire and Ice and the animated 1978 epic The Lord of the Rings. In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Bakshi, now retired, revealed that Schwarzenegger took him to lunch to ask him...

A cult classic director reveals why he rejected Rocky after Sylvester Stallone personally brought him the script, and then slept in his car. The actor rose from relative obscurity by writing and starring in the iconic 1976 film, directed by John G. Avildsen, which went on to become the highest-grossing movie of the year and received ten Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor and Screenplay for Stallone, and winning three, including Best Picture and Best Director for Avildsen. The movie spawned a massive franchise that includes eight sequels with all but the most recent, Creed III, starring Stallone.

During a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Ralph Bakshi revealed why he rejected Rocky. Stallone personally brought Bakshi the script because he loved his 1973 film Heavy Traffic and wanted him to direct it. Stallone also needed somewhere to stay, so he slept in Bakshi's car because his wife wouldn't let a stranger sleep in their house.

‘Harlem’ season 3

Prime Video’s comedy ‘Harlem’ returns for Season 3 after a dramatic cliffhanger in...

Among the many genres in the world, fantasy stories are some of the most beloved, yet there are a number of fantasy movies that have been forgotten by audiences and deserve to be rediscovered once again. When considering the greatest fantasy movies of all time, viewers may point to productions like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Princess Bride, or The Chronicles of Narnia. No doubt, these movies deserve all the praise they get. However, they often overshadow other films that have just as much goodness to give, yet have been lost to time.

In general, the following fantasy movies are those that are well-loved and often positively reviewed, but have been swept under the rug after the release of more expensive fantasy franchise films. Not only are these movies worthy of a rewatch, but they often bring something to the table that other popular fantasy movies cannot. Their worlds are unique,...

Fantasy is a hard nut to crack. Where science fiction can build on the rust and chrome of worlds we know, fantasy asks us to envision something new, often helped along by tidbits of real world history (as many fans of George R.R. Martin know quite well). To bring these worlds to life on screen requires more magic than words on a page, making the special effects budget blow the king's purse wide open.

When it works, it's something special. We get to see impossible worlds, meet cultures and countries where the riddle of steel and the law of chivalry thrive. We take to skies full of dragons, and sandy deserts full of bandits. Of this grand niche, the sword and sorcery movie is the most approachable, with a down to earth ruffian flair. The distinction between this and high fantasy is slim, but for our purposes, if the world...

Ready to meet “Ghost Cat Anzu?”

The French/Japanese co-production, based on the manga of the same name by Takashi Imashiro, hits theaters on Friday courtesy of GKids — and we’ve got an exclusive clip, which you can watch below.

In “Ghost Cat Anzu,” a young girl named Karin (voiced by Noa Gotô) accompanies her father to the countryside.

Together, Anzu and Karin set off on an adventure, which crosses over into spiritual realms and sees them encountering all sorts of bizarre characters.

Dateline: Secrets Uncovered – Fire & Ice...

In the realm of animated films, a few names are consistently mentioned as top-tier masters of the medium. Miyazaki, Disney, Bluth, Tartakovsky, and Bird are typically mentioned; however, there's one name that absolutely should be spoken of in the same reverent tones as the aforementioned titles. That name is Ralph Bakshi, the underseen master of adult animation. Bakshi hasn't made a film since a 2015 short film called Last Days of Coney Island, but he started working in the medium in 1959.

While he got his start working in classic TV animation, it's Ralph Bakshi's run of animated films from 1972-1992 that he's best known for. Because of its high-profile franchise, Bakshi's 1978 animated The Lord of the Rings is the film most people are familiar with, due in large part to it being the first-ever film adaptation of the iconic fantasy novels. However, while Bakshi's LotR is gorgeous and a lot of fun,...
