Hopeless Pictures is an American adult animated comedy television series starring the voices of Lisa Kudrow and Bob Balaban, and produced and broadcast by the IFC.[1][2] The cartoon follows fictional film producer Mel Wax, voiced by Michael McKean, in a spoof of the Hollywood movie industry. Stylistically the show makes use of the audio from scripted telephone conversations combined with on-screen gags surrounding the cartoon characters speaking.
