What is the Boardwalk Dad Detox Kickstarter for?

Boardwalk Dad Detox is a full-length adult animated comedy that blends grounded storytelling with moments of humor. The film follows Jackie and Wagner, a father and son caught in the fallout of addiction, burnout, and fractured family bonds. Jackie’s drinking has spiraled into chaos, while Wagner struggles to hold the pieces together. The story asks whether forgiveness is possible before everything collapses. Supporting the Boardwalk Dad Detox Kickstarter will help explore these themes.

While it tackles serious themes, the film maintains wit and sharp comedy, offering a more grounded entry within the I Married a Monster on a Hill world.

Themes the Film Explores

Boardwalk Dad Detox doesn’t shy away from real issues that affect disfunctional families. Through humor and honesty, the film takes on:

Alcohol Addiction: Showing how destructive habits tear into family bonds and how hard it is to start the road to recovery.
Psychedelics and Acid Trips: Surreal sequences that mirror Jackie’s chaotic state of mind while exploring altered perspectives.
Emotional Strain: Wagner’s constant stress from his father’s addiction weighs on his mental and physical health, showing the toll it takes to carry someone else’s burdens.
Burnout and Health: Stress-induced exhaustion escalates to real consequences, highlighting how long-term burnout can break a person down.
Unresolved Scars: Past mistakes and unresolved pain resurface, shaping how both father and son deal with their present challenges.

Inspirations

The tone and style of Boardwalk Dad Detox come from a mix of influences:

Comedy and Political Satire: South Park, Adult Swim shows
World-Building & Relationships: Gilmore Girls, Modern Family
Structure & Slice of Life: BusyTown

A weird mix of inspirations sure, but can be used as a guide for both the humor and the world-building. It’s outrageous comedy with grounded character-driven storytelling. The setting is also deeply influenced by the Jersey Shore, with its boardwalks, beaches, and local culture shaping the film’s personality.
