Adult Swim Unleashes Another Batch of Nightmare Fuel with 'Unedited Footage of a Bear'


Adult Swim proves themselves, yet again, to be only the finest purveyor of late night faux-infomercial infused nightmare fuel. Coming off the the strength of their run away viral Too Many Cooks, the folks at Williams Street Studios couldn't let us slink quietly into the new year without giving our collective brains another go-through the cerebral atomizer of their anarchic brand of visual insanity. Put this in HD, full-screen, and buckle up for some face-melting weirdness.

Do you know what kind of bear this is? I need to know. For reasons.
Unedited Footage of a Bear is anything but; turning a 30-second clip into a meticulous 10-minute plunge into dark comedic absurdity. A wild-life shot turns into a medication commercial which then takes a nose-dive straight into territory that feels all too at home alongside psychological horror films like Primer and Side-Effects. Much like Too Many Cooks, words do not not do it justice. This is a fear best left experienced than explained.

Michael Cera's Brazzaville Teen-Ager



Not everything that comes from the YouTube channel Jash is required to be a short sketch it seems. In this well-produced short film. Michael Cera plays the role of a young man who will stop at nothing to help better his sick father. Cera's obsession with helping his father leads him into an interesting obsession with life and death and how one out of the ordinary instance can change everything.

I was pretty damn impressed with the work put into this short, especially for something released through YouTube. It holds a very similar vibe to some of David Lynch's work along eery sound techniques really start to f*ck with your head. While it is a bit on the long side (20-minutes) I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how well this turned out, so long as you're okay with Michael Cera's acting style and a story that makes little to no sense upon first viewing.
