The Amazing Adventures of Kid Cole & Klay
A wrong number dialed for pizza delivers espionage and the counterpoint of a booming narration along with the promise of newly rendered spills and thrills.
Stephane Coedel’s opening title sequence for The Amazing Adventures of Kid Cole & Klay gets its details right, eg. the slow, undulating rowboat POV, a mere oar’s reach of the salivating dead in company of other emissaries of evil.
See Mr. Invisible. Get cozy with the title card for “Tonight’s Episode,” bathed in boggy, absinthe-impelled atmosphere featuring noxious architecture-fondling tentacles. Toe-tap to that dizzy rocket bebop beat by Ben Locket. The end of the opening sequence is thunderous paranoia foisted, “THEY HAVE TO! THEY ARE OUR ONLY HOPE!” It’s Dilbert & Dr. Who at the drive-in.
