The podcast was created by Jordan Morris and Jesse Thorn and produced by Maximum Fun.[1] The podcast focuses on a town called Fairhaven, which is situated inside a protective bubble surrounded by wilderness.[2] The protagonist of the story is a woman who grew up outside the bubble named Morgan.[3] Morgan teams up with two guys and starts killing monsters that have gotten inside the bubble for a contracting company.[4] The show is an eight episode satirical science fiction podcast with a sitcom style delivery.[5]
Becca James wrote in BuzzFeed News that the podcast is as "addictive as it is absurd."[6] Laura Jane Standley and Eric McQuade wrote in The Atlantic that the "sound engineering is appropriately cartoonish."[7] Megh Wright wrote in Vulture that the podcast "gets funnier the deeper you go."[8] Apple Podcasts included the show on their list of the best podcasts of 2018.[9] Cory Doctrow wrote in Boing Boing that the podcast is "hilarious."[10] Nicholas Quah wrote in NiemanLab that the podcast is "super zany."[11]
The graphic novel is 272 pages long.[12] The graphic novel was published by First Second Books and written by Jordan Morris and Sarah Morgan.[13] The art is done by Tony Cliff.[14] The graphic novel was published on July 13, 2021.[15] Publishers Weekly gave the graphic novel a starred review, saying that the book is a "recklessly fun, hoot and holler of a ride".[16] Caitlin Rosberg wrote in The A. V. Club that "some of the references aren't exactly evergreen".[17] Colin Moon wrote in AIPT Comics that the book has "an exciting, vivid world you can't help but want to know more about".[18] The book was also nominated for a 2022 Eisner Award.[19][20]
In 2020, Sony Pictures Animation announced that an animated film adaptation was in development,[21][22] with Morris set to write the script.[23] Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who previously worked on Sausage Party, signed on to produce through their company Point Grey Pictures,[24][25] alongside Matt Tolmach.[26] James Weaver, Kyle Hunter, David Manpearl, Ariel Shaffir and Morris were announced as executive producers, but it was finally cancelled by early July 7, 2023.[27]
