Holy shit, I had no prior knowledge of the existence of Mad God or anything about it but wow that movie completely blew me away. Masterpiece seems cliche to toss around, but it was grotesque, fascinating and funny in a way I can’t find the words to describe. And here I thought rewatching Coppola’s Dracula would be highlight of this movie watching thing! A+ 10/10 and all that. Kudos to the guy that made this brilliant piece of art!
