The creator of ‘Bojack Horseman' has a new show coming
Bob-Waksberg's 'BoJack Horseman' aired from 2014-2020, and starred Will Arnett as the titular Horseman, a name literal in multiple ways: he was a horse that walked and talked like a man, and it was his last name. The series drew praise for its sardonic tone and depiction of the highs and very low lows of life in Hollywood (or Hollywoo, as the show called it). It also had an endlessly inventive visual style, and was filled with clever, often meta jokes. A number of the cast members on the new show made appearances on 'BoJack' over the years, including Jacobson, Byer, Greenfield, and Franco. Advertisement Details on the new show are limited, but none of the five shared publicity images include people who are also animals, a hallmark of the 'BoJack Horseman' universe, so that's potentially one major difference.

Long Story Short OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Raphael Bob-Waksberg's adult animated comedy series
Long Story Short OTT Release Date: Get ready for a fresh animated adventure! Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the creator of the much-loved BoJack Horseman, is back with a brand-new series called Long Story Short. According to What's on Netflix, the show is set to release on Netflix on June 12, 2025. What is Long Story Short about? Long Story Short is an animated comedy that explores typical family life - the good, the bad, and the hilarious. The logline for the series reads: 'Long Story Short is an animated comedy about a family over time. It's about the shared history, the inside jokes, the old wounds. If you've ever had a mother, father, sibling, partner, or child, this is the show for you and by the way, would it kill you to call them?' Who's behind Long Story Short? Raphael Bob-Waksberg, who made a huge mark in the world of adult animation with BoJack Horseman, is leading the project. He will serve as the writer, showrunner, and executive producer of Long Story Short. The old BoJack team is reuniting, too. Lisa Hanawalt (the mind behind BoJack's visual style and Tuca & Bertie) will design the original art and act as supervising producer. Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen will also executive produce for The Tornante Company. ShadowMachine, the studio behind BoJack Horseman and Pinocchio, will produce the animation. Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley will be co-executive producers. This means the same creative spirit that made BoJack a classic will be behind Long Story Short, too. First look at LONG STORY SHORT - the new series from the creator of Bojack in 2025. In a typical Bob-Waksberg tongue-in-cheek style, Raphael said in a press release: 'It is legitimately a thrill and an honour to be back doing what I love most: drafting enthusiastic pull quotes for press releases to Hollywood trade publications. Who says you can't go home again?!' Why is there so much buzz? Ten years ago, BoJack Horseman changed the way people looked at adult animated shows. Instead of just jokes, BoJack gave audiences a mix of humour, sadness, emotional honesty, and clever social commentary. It was Netflix's first original adult animated series when it debuted on August 22, 2014, and it paved the way for hits like Big Mouth, Arcane, and Blue Eye Samurai.

'My cousin's baby sounds more like a stripper – they picked an unfortunate name'
A woman was slammed for giving her baby a name that makes her sound more like a 'stripper'. Her family intervened after hearing she'd named her daughter Sextina – to be pronounced Seh-Tina. However, the moniker was quickly mistaken for Sex-Tina by strangers. This sparked concern – with the new mum's cousin taking to Reddit for advice on the baby name . She said: "We're Latino, so I asked my mum if it was supposed to be said with an accent but no. Her parents were fully Americanized so they weren't even pronouncing it with an accent or had any sort of 'mistranslation' excuse. They were just trying to be yoo-nique and different. They thought Christina was too plain. "The entire family was against it and bullied the cr*p out of Sextina's mum until she finally changed it when the kid was about two-years-old. I don't know what the new name is but it was normal." The family started to nicknaming the child 'Sexy' simply to prove a point and push her into changing her daughter's name before she started school. And thankfully, this seems to have done the trick in convincing the parents to change it. The Redditor added: "Spoke to my mum and she clarified that they (the parents) were calling her Sexy, which the rest of the family/everyone they met hated to the point someone called CPS (child protection services.) "Mum's not sure if it was family or the paediatrician because apparently the doctors/nurses at her check-ups did not like that. "According to the parents they didn't mean it in a sexual way but as a cute nickname. Like Richard turns into Dick which turns into Dicky. But… .obviously that didn't work here. "Accusations were thrown around but luckily they weren't actually abusing their kid. They were just really, really dumb. So the mum changed the name to avoid the accusations." In the comments section, people were relieved that the family had changed the baby name. They worried the child would be 'haunted' by Sextina for years – so it seems to be a good decision all round. Why is the name Sextina trending? The name "Sextina" is quite unusual and not commonly found among traditional or modern baby names. It doesn't have a widely recognized origin or meaning in most naming traditions. However, the name gained some attention in recent years due to its use in popular culture. "Sextina Aquafina" is a fictional character from the animated TV show "BoJack Horseman" on Netflix . In the series, Sextina Aquafina is a satirical portrayal of a pop star and celebrity, depicted as a sentient pink dolphin. She's an over-the-top satire of modern-day celebrities and the music industry, known for releasing provocative songs with humorous and absurd lyrics. Because of this, the name Sextina is often associated with this satirical character rather than as a traditional baby name. The name 'Sextina' could arguably be a play on other names like "Christina" or traditional Latin-influenced names ending in '-tina.' However, the beginning "Sex-" intentionally draws a provocative and edgy vibe, fitting the exaggerated persona of Sextina Aquafina in the show.
