The musical special will follow Black Dynamite as he attempts to take a one-day vacation from protecting The Community, and all hell breaks loose. The Man rears his menacing head when police begin patrolling the streets, and a riot pops off. A brick to the head sends Black Dynamite hallucinating into the Magical Land of Oz-Watts, where the Rodney Munchkings are being terrorized by a vicious battalion of pigs and everyone needs Black Dynamite’s help. Between getting Scarecorn some game, Lionhorn a muzzle and Tin Bee a set of balls, he has to bring down the Pig Chief, The Wicked Bitch of the West Side and reach the Great and Powerful Motherf@$%er’s palace, or he’ll never get home. With trippy, technicolor animation, original musical numbers and a topical take on police brutality, BLACK DYNAMITE presents its most ambitious adventure yet.

 

Carl Jones co-writer and director of the upcoming project stated:

As a comedy writer, I feel it’s my job to make people laugh while using constructive social criticism to evoke thought and inspire dialogue.

Black Dynamite airs Jan.10th at 10:30 PM EST on Adult Swim.
