The rise and fall of one of the most influential animated series in the history of television, and its controversial creator, John Kricfalusi. In the early 1990s, the animated show Ren & Stimpy broke cable ratings records. Kricfalusi was celebrated as a visionary, but even though his personality suffused the show, dozens of artists and network executives were just as responsible for the show's meteoric rise. As Kricfalusi's worst impulses were let loose at the workplace and new allegations about even more disturbing behaviour have surfaced, his reputation now threatens to taint the show forever.
