Exploding Kittens adult animation series showcases humor, mayhem, and animated cats in a biblical twist on divine characters. Television notables like Tom Ellis and Sasheer Zamata bring the characters of Godcat and Devilcat to life in a silly and chaotic way. The new Netflix show inspired by the tabletop card game has mixed reviews but remains true to the original game's spirit of fun and absurdity.

Exploding Kittens unleashes Heaven and Hell on Earth in an irreverent adult animation series supported by a cast of television notables and veteran voice actors. What began as a tabletop card game of the same name created by Matthew Inman (creator of the webcomic The Oatmeal) and former Xbox game designer Elan Lee has since burgeoned into a trending Netflix TV show. Yet, the Exploding Kittens series doesn't directly draw from its namesake, instead opting to adopt the game's signature elements of humor, mayhem,...

Tom Ellis finds playing God in Exploding Kittens a fun and different experience than his last supernatural role as Lucifer. The hilarious animated series features Godcat (Ellis) and Devilcat (Zamata) in a unique battle of good vs. evil. The exciting season finale promises a potential second season with even more crazy cat antics to come, teases Ellis. He also teased his upcoming movie Thursday Murder Club, with Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.

Lucifer hottie Tom Ellis is first to admit that being God in Netlixs new animated romp, Exploding Kittens, is a different experience than hes used to. In a recent MovieWeb interview he went on to say: It obviously wasn't lost on me when they approached me about playing God. I was like, Okay, so, you know, I've got a promotion, that's great.' But yeah, they're two really different projects. There were some similarities thematically humanity. But it...

The delightful Tom Ellis (SNL) and Sasheer Zamata (SNL) spoke with MovieWeb's Greg Archer about voicing Godcat and Devilcat, respectively, in the Netflix animated series Exploding Kittens.

Earth sucks, so God (Tom Ellis) gets fired and sent to Earth to reconnect with humanity. The catch? He's trapped in the body of a chubby house cat. As part of his rehabilitation, he moves in with a dysfunctional family and tries to solve their problems but ends up spending a lot of time chasing laser pointers. And to top it off, Godcats next-door neighbor, who is also a cat, turns out to be none other than his nemesis, the Antichrist. The result is the ultimate fight between good versus evilexcept, Godcat (Ellis) is distracted by a pigeon he saw in the yard and Devilcat (Sasheer Zamata) is busy napping on someones laptop.

Even before Covid made a virtue of isolation, experts had already been describing loneliness as an epidemic for years. Now that even the most social among us have had loneliness imposed upon us as a matter of public policy, it seems to be an issue that’s top of mind for TV creators to process through their work. Baby Reindeer revolves around two lonely people who find communion, by chance, over Diet Coke in a neighborhood pub; the disastrous fallout comes later. The titular Mr. & Mrs. Smith find each other in part because they’ve built the kind of lives they can disappear from without causing alarm to friends or loved ones who’d miss them. Ripley’s eponymous protagonist is alone by necessity: the kinds of short cons he’s running for his livelihood depend on his remaining anonymous.

Though loneliness isn’t generally a hilarious topic, it animates our current comedies,...

I quite enjoyed Exploding Kittens on Netflix based on the popular tabletop card game by Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal webcomic, Elan Lee, and Shane Small. The premise is quite simple – both God and the Devil are sent to Earth in the bodies of chunky house cats! Hilarity ensues. And it’s also quite uplifting

Former Xbox designer Elan Lee and The Oatmeal cartoonist Matthew Inman launched the first “Exploding Kittens” card game in 2015 via Kickstarter and raised $8.7 million for the initial game in the first 30 days. Since then, they’ve released nearly 30 tabletop games and a handful of digital games and have sold more than 36 million games globally.

On Friday, Netflix will launch an “Exploding Kittens” TV series, which will coincide with updates to its streamer’s “Exploding Kittens” mobile game, incorporating playable characters from the new show into the format.

For Wednesday’s episode of Variety‘s “Strictly Business” podcast, “Exploding Kittens” masterminds Lee and Inman spoke with Variety‘s Senior Business Writer, TV and Video Games Jennifer Maas about how their company adapted its best-selling table top game into a Netflix series and video game while maintaining its primary business as a consumer products brand.

Thanks to Netflix‘s upcoming animated series Exploding Kittens, Tom Ellis is trading his horns for a halo by becoming God after playing Lucifer Morningstar in the fan-favorite supernatural drama Lucifer. Netflix parted the heavens on Thursday to reveal an Exploding Kittens trailer, teasing the animated series based on the popular card game Matthew Inman, Elan Lee, and Shane Small created. Netflix’s Exploding Kittens is an adult animated series starring Tom Ellis and Sasheer Zamata as two rotund housecats on opposite ends of a holy war.

In Netflix’s Exploding Kittens trailer, God is transformed into Godcat (Tom Ellis) and cast down to Earth to live with a dysfunctional family while reconnecting with his humanity. Meanwhile, Beelzebub lives next door in the form of a tubby void cat prone to naps in sunbeams and zoomies at ungodly hours.

Former Lucifer star Tom Ellis plays God in a cat's body facing off against Satan. The animated show Exploding Kittens follows Heaven and Hell's eternal conflict. The show premieres in July on Netflix, with a voice cast including Sasheer Zamata and Suzy Nakamura.

The trailer for the Netflix animated Exploding Kittens has former Lucifer star Tom Ellis playing God while stuck in a cat's body and he's facing off against Satan. Hailing from creators Shane Kosakowski and Matthew Inman, Exploding Kittens follows the eternal conflict between Heaven and Hell. It reaches epic proportions when both God and the Devil are sent to Earth in the bodies of chunky house cats.

Netflix has now released the Exploding Kittens trailer, previewing the show that premieres in July.

According to summaries of the animated series,...

A holy war of epic proportions begins this summer with the arrival of Exploding Kittens. Netflix has confirmed the series will premiere in July with the release of a new trailer showing the chaos Godcat and Devilcat bring to Earth. Announced in 2022 as an adaptation of the hit card game created by Matthew Inman, Elan Lee, and Shane Small, the adult animated series stars Tom Ellis and Sasheer Zamata as the embodiments of good and evil who are sent to Earth in the form of tubby house cats. Godcat is left with a dysfunctional family to reconnect with humanity and solve their problems all while his polar opposite lives next door and wreaks havoc... whenever she's not falling asleep on her owner's laptop.

First, he was the Devil, and now he is God; Tom Ellis is truly having a journey spanning heaven and hell, as the Lucifer star appears as GodCat in the all-new animated series, Exploding Kittens. If you thought the original eponymous card game was insane and wild, the upcoming Netflix animated series will blow your mind, and your screen. With an all-new clutter of cats and kittens all the way from above, down under, and beyond, they are going to set new rules and unleash madness, mayhem, and meow-hem in an ultimate, high-stakes battle. Billed as an adult animated series, Exploding Kittens follows the eternal conflict between good and evil where the God and Devil are sent to Earth (probably to fight it out once and for all or continue forever) in the form of big, furry, housecats. And as to be expected from these creatures, they unleash chaos. The...

The first trailer for the animated adaptation of the popular tabletop game Exploding Kittens has been released as part of Netflix's annual Geeked Week. The trailer introduces viewers to the chaotic world of Godcat (played by Tom Ellis) and Devilcat (played by Sasheer Zamata) as they navigate life in cat bodies on Earth. Tom Ellis, known for his role as Lucifer Morningstar, continues to portray celestial beings and potentially with a twist, as Godcat could explore a test of faith in humanity and learn new lessons from humans and Devilcat.

A modern iconic tabletop card game is getting a wild animated adaptation in the first Exploding Kittens trailer.

In our first ever trip to Collision, Den of Geek teamed up with DC Comics and Webtoon to chat about the future of web, digital, and print comics, as well as how the mediums and publishers are bringing new readers to every aspect of the comics marketplace. I was lucky enough to be asked to present our Collision Fest panel with DC Editor-in-Chief, Marie Javins, and Head of Content at WebToon, David Lee.

It was a great chat that spanned the gauntlet of how the companies are creating a two-way street between webcomics and the comic shop with titles like Wayne Family Adventures, Vixen: NYC, and the recently released Zatanna and the Ripper.

The best kind of card game involves intentionally sabotaging other players to transform friends into enemies for a small period of time. In the game of "Exploding Kittens" — created by Elan Lee and Matthew Inman, the brains behind the popular comics site The Oatmeal, and Shane Small — players are able to play as many action cards as they want before drawing a card and praying that they didn't pull the Exploding Kitten card to kick them out of the game. Action cards allow players to do things like shuffle the "draw from" deck, take a peek at the...

Who killed Evan Chan? Over 15 years on, the marketing campaign for Steven Spielberg's A.I. remains unique, Ryan writes...

When it came to Steven Spielberg's 2001 sci-fi film, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Jeanine Salla played a low-profile yet important role. Educated at Bangalore University, Salla was an expert in engineering and machine intelligence, and considered so important to the makers of A.I. that she was given a credit in the movie's posters and trailers.

See related Power Rangers, boob armour, and impractical costumes

The only thing was, Jeanine Salla never existed.

Before the spring of 2001, almost nothing had been seen of Spielberg's latest sci-fi movie. That the director had taken over the project from his late friend Stanley Kubrick was well known, as were its origins in a story by British sci-fi writer Brian Aldiss called Supertoys Last All Summer Long. But Spielberg had remained secretive through A.I.'s shoot,...

Last year it was “content marketing”, now the newest buzzword in online marketing seems to be “authenticity”. What does this mean for filmmakers? The good news is that no one is as in-tune with your audience as you are, so you should know best what kind of content your audience would like to see. The bad news is, professional marketers are all vying for your audience and trying to be as authentic as possible to steal their online attention away from your films and videos.

The annual Stream Market by Brunico leads straight into the wildness known as RealScreen/KidScreen and while small in comparison, really gives a chance to meet with some top minds in the online media space. The VidCon conference in Anaheim is a massive event focusing mainly on YouTube, but many of the creators extolled the importance of developing a robust “off-YouTube” strategy. This two-part article focusing on authentic online marketing for film will be drawing on personal experience as well as insight from some of the various experts I had a chance to interact with at these recent events.

[Bing Chen-Moderator, Youtubers - Meg DeAngelis, Tyler Ward, Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart]

Which are the best Social Networks to use? How do you choose which social networks to focus on, when there’s only so many hours in a day? The YouTube Creators Panel at Stream were nearly unanimous that Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook were their platforms of choice for building and communicating with their audience. Other possibilities include Google+, Vine, Snapchat, Flickr, Pinterest, and many, many more, but the aforementioned networks are a good place to start. It’s important to remember that YouTube is itself a social network and to utilize it effectively a creator should keep this in mind - it’s more than just a video hosting service, it’s a community.

I recommend focusing initially on just two of these networks and working hard to understand their particular idiosyncrasies by spending as much time using them as you can. Really focus on a goal for each and every post you make; whether it be to grow your “likes” and “fans” or drive existing fans to either another social network, or to a direct-to-consumer facing site. (These days my company focuses on Facebook (162,000+likes) and YouTube (70,000+ subscribers) as our two “main” social networks. We have begun working more with Twitter, but it’s not as robust for us yet as these two.)

Practical tip: It can’t be understated enough that each and every social post must have a goal; that specific “call-to-action” that literally tells your audience what you want them to do. “Visit xyz website to see exclusive content!” “Download the full movie today at yourwebsite.com!” “Please subscribe and leave a comment below!” are good examples of clear calls to action.

In his inspiring opening remarks for Stream, Jesse Cleverly of Wildseed Studios recommended “Speaking to [your audience] in their language”.

In regards to his approach to financing projects he says, “Wildseed are not interested in years of paper development. We do not bend people’s creative vision to fit the tastes of a commissioner somewhere else. We pilot ideas in conversation with their intended audience. You won’t get a script commission from us – you’ll get cash to go out and make something, and then you will enter into a dialogue with an audience about what worked and what did not.”

Cleverly extolls the importance of the dialogue between creator and audience and as filmmakers this should be second nature since we’re always making a film for a specific group of people. The importance of making indie films with a niche audience in mind applies to online marketing most of all. Doc makers can use interviews, outside press, and video evidence as engaging online bits to excite potential viewers and create an authentic ongoing dialogue.

“Story will save you.” Elan Lee, Chief Design Officer, Microsoft Studios.

The main gist of Elan Lee’s keynote, “The Next Era of Disruptive Technology…” could be boiled down to the wonderfully simple statement. Known for his creative use of the ‘Net in marketing campaigns, Lee notably made his name by spearheading the wonderful and intricate online universe surrounding the film A.I. Along with the original online marketing triumph of "Blair Witch Project" , this campaign was a watershed moment in film marketing. By way of example, Lee described how his team created an entire backstory around all the characters in A.I. and brought enthusiastic and curious fans into that world by creating websites and personal accounts for characters and places in the film. Even without creating such an immersive (and well-budgeted) online universe, filmmakers need to use their online presence to provide a community experience for their potential fans and followers.

Brands are always coming up against the problem that they need to show consumers that their product is worth something in their lives versus other competing products and as filmmakers we have an immediate advantage because our films are created to appeal to an audience on an emotional level as art and entertainment. We’re naturally authentic when we are engaging with our audience about our films. Holding contests and giveaways to encourage dissemination of content and creation of user-generated content (Ugc) are tried and true ways of getting your film’s message to a wider audience.

It’s relatively easy to get free product from companies for giveaways; just Google “brand-manager company xyz” and write the person a note on LinkedIn. (In addition to the social networks mentioned above, I’m a huge proponent of LinkedIn as an additional social network for business outreach and connections like this.) Explain in one or two sentences how your film or project aligns well with the brand’s demographic and it’s very likely some free product will flow your way.

During the shooting of our first film Choppertown: the Sinners I called up the brand manager for Dickies clothing and tried to get her to finance the film, she laughed and said no way, but sent me a huge box of clothes to pass around to the subjects and crewmembers. This “currency” went a long way in gaining us credibility. Four years later Dickies financed two films and a European theatrical tour for us which never would have happened without the first relationship we created early on.

In the “Jump Into Bed With An McN” panel, Chris Williams, Chief Development Officer, Maker Studios exhorted attendees to “expand the ecosystem” by embracing technology and the new media landscape in their outreach efforts.

If your film is the nucleus, what are the circulating “particles” of content that will draw passersby into your world? Is there an app or other emerging piece of technology that you can partner with the help get your message out? (During the shooting of our online live ghost hunting show for Yahoo! we partnered with Spudpickles Studios to align with their Ghost Radar app and cross-promoted each other leading into and during the show.)

Start early and confidently when reaching out to your audience. Don’t be afraid of the “homey” approach, speak openly and honestly about your film and why you hope they will enjoy it. Begin reaching out at the earliest stages of production and rally your audience around your concept. Use all the amazing tools that social media have to offer and aggregate your audience to as few platforms as possible. Speak to your audience authentically.

Even without a huge budget or staff commitment, indie filmmakers can delve deep into their own stories for wonderful content to engage their audiences. Remember, you are master storytellers. Let your stories save you.

Who would have thought that digging up millions of E.T. video game cartridges out of a New Mexico landfill would have been such big news. A few months ago it was reported that writer Zak Penn (X-Men 2, Avengers, Incident At Loch Ness) would be directing a documentary for Xbox that tells the story about Atari's 1983 E.T. video game, it's failure, and if the legend about them burying millions of copies of it in a New Mexico landfill was true. There's been a lot of speculation about the facts of this story over the years, but it turns out one of the most infamous urban legends in video games is true.

Penn and his documentary film crew went out to the landfill yesterday to excavate it, and they found the games. It's still unclear whether or not there are actually millions of copies down there. Apparently they've found hundreds so far,...

The Power to the Pixel’s annual Cross-Media Forum, showcasing the latest developments in multiplatform production in the digital media world over the past 12 months, unfolded at the BFI’s Southbank this week.

“The forum is our annual centrepiece event,” said Liz Rosenthal, founder and CEO of the digital media consultancy which runs workshops and consults on the art of capturing audiences across platforms throughout the year.

As the three-day event marked its seventh edition, the mood was in part reflective as the likes of Xbox chief design engineer Elan Lee, respected transmedia storyteller Lance Weiler and interactive docs guru Ingrid Kopp, shared some of the lessons they had learned working across multiple platforms in recent years.

Lessons Learned

La-based Lee, who recently re-joined Microsoft as the chief design officer for its Xbox Entertainment Studios after a decade of launching and running a slew of interactive entertainment start-ups, gave a potted history of his successes and failures...

"If you are using the word 'transmedia,' you have wasted a lot of dollars on business card printing," Elan Lee, chief of design at Microsoft's Xbox Entertainment Studios, said in his keynote speech at "Power to the Pixel," now in its seventh year at the BFI London Film Festival. Storytelling is evolving so quickly, Lee suggested, that we don't yet have a decent way of describing its newest forms. It's not just a matter of semantics (or as Lee puts it, being able to explain to your parents what it is you do for a living). He made the point that most of us are still trying to define the future by referring to pre-existing formats (such as TV or film), which inherently limits the imagination. For most indie filmmakers, however, evolution is a big concept to contemplate when you are looking for a way to finance your next project.

Power to the Pixel’s 7th Cross-Media Forum to also include a new David Cronenberg project inspired by Videodrome and a multimedia travelogue from Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys.

Power to the Pixel has unveiled the line up for its 7th Cross-Media Forum in London, which runs Oct 15-18 in association with the BFI London Film Festival.

Strands at this year’s edition include the Conference (Oct 15), the Pixel Market (Oct 16-17) and the Think Tank (Oct 18).

This year’s keynote speaker is Elan Lee, chief design officer at Xbox Entertainment Studios one of the leading creators of the ‘Alternate Reality Game’ genre producing I Love Bees, Nine Inch Nails: Year Zero and The Dark Knight: Why so Serious?.
