Remember Heavy Metal? Not the music, the movie - weird, otherworldy themes realized through animation circa 1981? Well, Korgoth is kind of like that, but with the knife-wielding, ear chopping action of Reservoir Dogs. A little violent, yes, but it's meant to be comical so give it a shot.

What Parents Need to Know
About Korgoth of Barbaria
Parents need to know that this animated action series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world that resembles the Middle Ages both visually and behaviorally: Men barbarically and ruthlessly conquer their enemies, and women are subjugated. Each episode is chock full of bloody scenes involving limbs being chopped off (the characters rely on axes instead of guns). What's more, voluptuous, scantily clad women are shown being held captive and trying to tempt their tormentors. Bottom line? This is part of the Adult Swim line-up for good reason.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the way women are portrayed in cartoons -- both those aimed at kids and the more-mature variety. Why do so many 'toons feature women with unrealistic body proportions? What does this say about how our society sees women? Is the way that women are portrayed in the media, including in magazine spreads and advertising, harmful to girls' self-image? Are there any animated shows that have more realistic female characters?
