Cakey! The Cake From Outer Space is now on Superdeluxe. Cakey’s debut at Channel 102 is one of my favorite moments. It was a good sized crowd at Anthology Theater and the episode starts. By the time the OPENING credits were rolling, people were cheering as if Cakey! The Cake From Outer Space was a long-beloved character of American culture. Really fun.

It feels very dude to have someone watch a show you love. “I’m a guy! Come absorb this media with me! You HAVE to absorb this media! This media is so good!” But you know what?
