Plot Synopsis

Created, written, directed and executive produced by John Hodgman and David Rees, DICKTOWN is an animated quarter-hour series set in Richardsville, NC (aka Dicktown to the locals), focusing on the town's famous boy detective, John Hunchman. Except John isn't a boy any more. He's a sad, shabby man who just turned 40, and while he's still a detective, he still only solves crimes for teenagers. Meet his partner, David Purefoy. David used to be John's arch-enemy in high school, but like John, he also failed to get out of town and still lives with his parents. David is John's driver, hired muscle and unlikely friend. Each week they take on a different client and solve a different mystery of Dicktown. Between chasing down stolen pimento cheese recipes and high school mascots gone rogue, John and David never stop trying to solve the biggest mystery: how to grow up. But when a menacing figure roars into their lives on a weird motorcycle-car, they learn the past isn't done with them yet.

DICKTOWN first aired as part of FXX's anthology series CAKE in 2020. These 10 segments were later released on Hulu as standalone episodes
