Papa & Boy (2022)
Overview
Papa and Boy is an animated comedy about the fraught relationship between a father and his always questioning son. They live in a world inhabited only by fathers and sons and despite caring deeply for each other, they are locked in a world historical conflict that precedes their own lives. The world of Papa and Boy is built upon The Fatherson System, a socio-economic system that allows fathers to command and control boys under the threat of punishment. The show is an absurd comedy about the cruel and terrible systems of power we inherit from our parents. Through Papa and Boy, we can see how absurd and morally bankrupt capitalism is and the way it deprives everyone involved of their humanity. Ultimately, the satirical core of Papa and Boy is making fun of the assumption that human hierarchies and capitalism are natural, justified, and immovable.
