"Bad Jubies" is the twentieth episode of the seventh season of the American animated television series Adventure Time.

Lepore was approached about directing the episode after Adventure Time showrunner Adam Muto saw her CalArts MFA thesis film, entitled "Move Mountain".

Finn, Lumpy Space Princess, and BMO all chip in to help construct the refuge, but Jake spends most of the time wistfully contemplating nature.

Soon, the sentient storm (voiced by Richardson) breaks into the shelter, but Jake's nature beat box manages to tame the tempest.

[5] On October 24, 2014, Kirsten Lepore, an alumna of both the Maryland Institute College of Art's and CalArts's experimental animation programs,[6][7] announced via her Twitter that she would be working on a "new project"; in tandem with this cryptic message, she posted a picture of an Adventure Time storyboard title sheet that listed her as the supervising director and storyboard artist for an episode.

[8] Lepore first became involved with the show after her CalArts MFA thesis, the short film entitled "Move Mountain", was viewed by Adventure Time showrunner and executive producer Adam Muto in early 2014.

Lepore was initially worried because she had limited experience with writing lines for characters, as her previous films had almost exclusively lacked dialogue.

Because she had mostly taught herself how to animate, she soon had to learn specific industry methods that, for instance, prevented puppets from falling over, or shots from being interrupted by human error.

In a Tumblr post, he wrote: I had the pleasure of scoring Kirsten Lepore's guest directed, Emmy award-winning episode of Adventure Time from Season 7, "Bad Jubies".

It was seen by 1.22 million viewers and scored a 0.3 Nielsen rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic (Nielsen ratings are audience measurement systems that determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the United States), which means that the episode was seen by 0.3 percent of all individuals aged 18 to 49 years old who were watching television at the time of the episode's airing.

[13] Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the episode "catches the show's combination of cosmic consciousness and domestic farce and takes it some places you never knew you wanted it to go.
