Next Christmas, or next time you’re feeling Christmas-minded, find the Adult Swim Yule Log movie, aka The Fireplace. It’s on Max, among other places.
It’s Casper Kelly’s (the creator of Too Many Cooks) first full length feature—a 90 minute horror-comedy film that Adult Swim stealth-released a couple of years ago disguised as an airing of a Christmas fireplace video. It actually has very little to do with Christmas, though a surprising lot to do with Yule logs.
Max also has an Adult Swim series called “Infomercials,” which is where Too Many Cooks originally debuted a decade or two ago.
The series consists of a bunch of other very creative short films in a similar vein that aired very late at night. The TV guide block Adult Swim created for them just said Infomercials, much like what every other basic cable station scheduled after hours, except these were all designed to go off the rails partway through and mess with your head.
Too Many Cooks is the only one with a catchy theme song though!
