I lit a torch and entered the dark and unpredictable hallways of my mind. There I discovered the lovable but dangerous Bartokular. He was a monster who had lived for thousands of years, feeding on human flesh, and living alone and sad. Desperately needing some friends, he chains three unlikely characters to his cave wall, and forces them to become his BFF’s.

What would have followed would have been the strangest buddy show ever made….but we were canceled after only two episodes.

Episode 1 – STONED

Episode 2 – NEW GIRL
