In this episode, Tom sits down with Seamus Coughlin, the creative mind behind FreedomToons, to talk about his brand-new animated anthology series Twisted Plots. From his early days animating satire online to building one of YouTube’s sharpest comedy channels, Seamus opens up about his influences, his thoughts on the collapse of modern comedy, and why he believes good stories can still change hearts and minds. They dive into everything from The Titanic and Shawshank Redemption to South Park, Black Mirror, and even the hidden humor of the Bible — exploring what makes timeless stories stick, and why so much of Hollywood has forgotten how to tell them.
