KoalaMan Interview: Creator Michael Cusack on Juggling Shows & Living the Dream
“It follows middle-aged dad Kevin and his titular not-so-secret identity, whose only superpower is a burning passion for following rules and snuffing out petty crime in the town of Dapto,” reads the synopsis. “Though it may seem like any other Australian suburb, forces of evil both cosmic and man-made lie in wait to pounce on unsuspecting Daptonians. On a quest to clean up his hometown, and often roping his frustrated family into his adventures, Koala Man stands at the ready.
I was also really pleasantly surprised to see Damo and Darren show up in the series. When when did you decide to include them?all those years ago, I set it at the Dapto train station. I actually went to Dapto and took pictures of the Dapto train station, then drew over them for the “Ciggy Butt Brain” cartoon. Then when I made the Koala Man shorts a few years later, for some reason it made sense to setin Dapto too, because he’d be annoyed at petty criminals like Damo and Darren.
You worked with Justin Roland again on Koala Man. You’ve done Bushworld Adventures, Paloni Show, and High On Life. So what’s that collaboration been like over the years?Rick and Morty is episodic, you can tune in whenever and you’re going to get it. There’s no overarching story or arc which is good in its own sense. And then, yeah, I like the serialized stuff too. I like having a show that you can binge and, at the end of the binging session, you’ve gotten a whole story out of it that is cohesive and you kind of have to watch it from start to finish. Yeah, there’s pros and cons to both and [they’re] both fun to do. I’m lucky enough to be able to do both.
But the ones that do sound the same are things like The Great One and Tall Poppy. I realize after watching it that I do pretty much the same voice for those characters. It’s pretty much the voices I do in as Knifey in Justin’s game,. It’s like that really gravelly voice, that’s like my go-to. And I’ve done that for a few characters quite a bit.
When you were washing the dishes before Justin Roland reached out, did you ever think you would make a show where Jemaine Clement would give a monologue about peeing and eating grubs? Because that’s pretty crazy.
