Here is your complete guide to the multiverse’s greatest podcast. Meet Clancy Gilroy (voiced by Duncan Trussell). Clancy lives in a trailer park on the "Chromus Ribbon"—a donut-shaped planet that orbits a bizarre, barren landscape. He is a "spacecaster" who owns a broken, semi-sentient multiverse simulator (which looks like a vintage computer made of meat and metal). Let it settle

In a media landscape saturated with predictable reboots and safe storytelling, sometimes something truly weird slips through the net. In 2020, Netflix released The Midnight Gospel , a show that is arguably the most ambitious, bizarre, and emotionally devastating adult animation ever produced.

In this episode, Clancy visits a dying, purplish world to interview a woman named "Sheryl" (voiced by Duncan’s real-life mother, Deneen Fendig, who passed away from cancer shortly before the show was made).

Created by Adventure Time showrunner Pendleton Ward and comedian Duncan Trussell, the series looks like a psychedelic fever dream. But beneath the neon blood and zombie presidents lies a profound, moving exploration of spirituality, mortality, and the art of conversation.
