Watch episode one of Hopeless Pictures, IFC's new animated series in which the Michael McKean - voiced Mel Wax heads a barely functioning indie movie studio trying to survive in Hollywood. The show is fairly celebrity laden both in the regular cast and in the form of walk-ons, all who take little jabs at Hollywood and the various less real than cartoon personalities which inhabit it. Includes comedian Jonathan Katz essentially reprising the psychiatrist character Dr. Katz from his old cartoon.
