About this episode

The episode discusses the dark comedy film 'Meet the Feebles' and its sleazy take on puppet performances.

Have you ever watched a Muppet movie but wanted it to be more sleazy and messed up? Have you ever wanted to see anthropomorphic animal puppets get involved in drugs, murder, and underground adult films? That's what Peter Jackson must have wanted in 1989 when he made 'Meet the Feebles', a dark comedy from New Zealand about a troupe of performing puppets... that are really awful.
