We had a Disney classic chopped into banging beats, Proverbial zen squashes, Amoebas, Batman ciggies, K-Pop Fire Demons, AI being consumed with overwhelming dread, and plenty of folklore. Max also made some lovely Overlap DnD-style dice to give out.

Louis recounted and accidentally summoned Birmingham's foremost piece of folklore, the Piss Troll, while suspended in the air dressed as a fairy.

Giovanna Ferrari is the writer and director of Cartoon Saloon’s latest short film, ÉIRU. As well as being honoured with the English premiere, we got to see Giovanna's career journey and an insightful behind the scenes look at this sure fire Oscar contender.

May 2025 'Birthday Suit'

We had: jazzy nostalgia, operatic space metal, wooden pizzas, bereavement, broken toilet doors, rubbish robot investments, a Brummie AI paintbrush, and a good old game of pass the parcel.

It was also a night of surprises. Louis burst out of a giant cake. Poonam and Max unveiled some lovely messages from previous guests. And Pahnl presented a custom piece of art. We also launched three designs of Overlap T-shirts.

AJ Jefferies (aka MoonJam) was our guest We got to see his journey starting as an illustrator, to creating joyful character driven animation. Over 20+ he's now worked with clients such: MTV, StoryBots, Cadbury Empire and Esquire. Everything was finished off with the second ever showing of his new film, DUCKS.

Thanks to Second Home Studios and Yamination for the continued sponsorship. Lastly thanks to BFI Network for sponsoring the event!
