Episode 256: Filmmaker Toby Jones and Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction S1E2 (1997)

Scarred For Life

This week we chat with Toby Jones, who's written on TV series such as OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, Regular Show and more. His latest is AJ Goes to the Dog Park, a surreal comedy that combines real life, animation, CG and stop motion into one ridiculous, surrealistic story set in Fargo. It's an absolute trip and we can't wait for more people to see it. We talk about his writing history, the idea behind AJ's many journeys and more. Then we discuss his relationship to horror, including the first time he saw Guinea Pig movies (!!!) and so much more. Finally, we find out why the Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction Season 1 Episode 2 segment "Kid in the Closet" absolutely terrified him growing up. We share our own relationship to the show, dig into the "fact or fiction" of it all and Toby gives us a great idea for a party game.
