Baba Boogie and the Berkeley Broads - The March of the Virgins

Don’t you wish that there would be a subversive, satirical, political animation with badass Grannies as the lead? Baba Boogie is the one. Who is Baba Boogie? Her black outfit with the black babushka on her head harkens to the Balkan origins. Her body and nimbler legs make her dance when she is thinking. Baba Boogie is a magical character, the old witch in the woods. She lives in her cauldron, which can fly anywhere. Inside her cauldron, there is her world. Her house stands on a duck's foot which keeps turning towards any approaching stranger. Baba Boogie has enemies, St Patrick for example and the Pope. But she has a sharp eye out for those who are enemies of peace and women. Her descendants live in Berkeley, they are elders now. Granny Rehab runs a Rent-a-Granny business and is friends with Granny Cruz, who donated her huge Mansion to charity, and Granny Stoner, who turned the Estate into an old people retirement place and a safe place for orphans. The magical tapestry of the show’s ambiance includes here all age groups and sexes. Topics for episodes are taken from news headlines Real stories are satirized.
