Big Jay, Dan Soder and Rick Shapiro Star in Animated Short Featuring O.J., Osama Bin Laden and Hitler
In the last few decades, we’ve seen superhero movies go from clear-cut, black & white celebrations of Good triumphing over Evil to moody, subtle meditations on the gray areas in between and the very idea of what makes a Hero. Luis J Gomez and Dave Smith have waded into this murky territory with their new animated short The Alliance of Really Really Good People. But as you can imagine coming from two thirds of Legion of Skanks, “subtle” it is not. This teaser episode promises to show that some of the worst people in history, from Hilter to Justin Bieber, are merely misunderstood defenders of America.
The video stars Big Jay Oakerson, Dan Soder, Rick Shapiro, Dante Nero, Luis J. Gomez, Dave Smith and Ralph Sutton.
Be forewarned, the clip is almost 10 minutes long (an eternity in internet time) and ends in a frustrating “Too Be Continued” before our band of anti-heroes has the chance to actually save anybody. But it’s worth the watch to hear Dan Soder’s ridiculous Osama Bin Laden voice and the brilliant casting of Rick Shapiro as Charles Manson.
Luis doesn’t see the length as a liability, not surprisingly saying it’s because they’re “real ass,” adding, “It’s based on a true story. We tried to keep everything as close to real life as possible.” Of course you did, Luis.
Executive produced by Big Jay Oakerson, written by Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith.
