This animated comedy sends a nihilistic genius scientist and his anxious grandson caroming across infinite dimensions, blending lowbrow gags with surprisingly bleak existential sci-fi. Inventive, crude and smarter than it lets on, it turned multiverse chaos into prestige comedy. If its mix of absurd humour and cosmic dread hooked you, seek out irreverent adult animation and sci-fi comedies that hide real ideas inside the madness.
