Meet the Feebles makes The Happytime Murders look positively kid friendly.
Oh my god it does😂
Regarding parents taking this one home cause "Oh look, puppets",
I remember hearing a movie-commentary where one of the actors had a friend complain to him for the movie being scary, because the friend had just seen a clown on the poster and thought the film was child friendly and brought their kids. His reply was something along the lines of "The name Stephen King didn't tip you off?" And yes, the movie was IT (the 1990 version)
Yes!!!!! I just rewatched this movie last week from an old VHS copy I've had for decades. Anything from the original Peter Jackson Trilogy of Bad Taste, Feebles, and Dead Alive(Braindead) is always a good time.
BAD TASTE BRAIN DEAD AND MEET THE FEEBLES are second third and fourth best movies ever!!!
THE TRUE ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF THE SON OF GOD BEING THE NUMBER ONE
MOVIE EVER....
THE LIFE OF BRIAN 👍🤘👏👏👏 BEST DOCUMENTARY EVER
And i should know I've seen a few
@@heathcornbeef loud! Online in 2023...boomer-like?
His original work was crazy an amazing and pull no punches I want vhs copy of meet the feebles
"A nice view inside the TMZ headquarters." I couldn't agree more. Matthew, you're the man!
Apt description
(preshow comment) Guys, we love you no matter what. You don't have to do this to yourselves - this movie doesn't mess around and you're not gonna be the same. May Dog have mercy on your souls.
A couple of decades ago I had a buddy who used to mention this movie regularly. This reaction is the first time I've seen any parts of the movie. I am genuinely disturbed. Some good funny jokes though.
But it's not a bad movie at all. It's totally funny and awesome and I'm dead serious.
First saw this in college back in 1996. Some people in the dorms put it on, and I had zero idea what I was getting into. I’ve NEVER laughed so hard. I loved this film so much I sought out some of the props from the film, and I ended up purchasing one of the puppets for my collection. I wish Peter Jackson would return to this kind of low budget greatness!
Which puppet did you get?
@@ElaMongrella one of the Viet Cong rats
I'm old enough that I saw Feebles, Bad Taste, and Dead/Alive (Braindead) around the time they came out. So when I heard that Peter Jackson was directing LotR my reaction was a puzzled "Huh, how did that happen?"
Also, case no one explained Braindead was changed to Dead/Alive in the US because there was already movie titled Braindead in the US.
Bob Shaye, New Line Cinema's co-founder and president, visited Peter Jackson's production office, saw a framed poster of Meet The Feebles hanging on a wall and had some reservations...😊
This movie is more important than you know. A new company was set up to produce the props and special effects. It was called WETA workshop. 4 years later it spun-off another new company: WETA digital ,to create special effects for Peter Jackson's 'Heavenly Creatures'.
20 years later, both companies are working on the biggest films in the world.
My jaw dropped when I saw you reviewed this I remember seeing this almost 30 years ago and thinking the world wasn't ready for this. Thank you for sharing this for a new generation.
I watched this movie about 25 years ago and I wasn't ready for it
i watched this recently and dare i say, the world still isnt ready
Every time you each said "We're ready for this", I said "No, you're not!"
And then when you said "Yay, we're gonna see his song." Oh no, you don't want that. LOL
I saw this movie in a 1996 special showing at the Ritz Theater in Philly. Some lady brought her 5 kids into this unrated (essentially X rated) film. She stood up and said "This film aint gor kids!" 5 people stood up and turned towards her and shouted " No shit!!"
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?!?!?! 😵
That's how you deal with dumb parents right there.
OK, look here's the thing. This was originally suppose to be a TV show. It was written by Peter Jackson and his lifelong friends, Danny Mulheron, Fran Walsh and Stephen Sinclair (who would write more movies together). It was their answer to the henson's muppets but they represent negativity and vices (sex and drugs). It wasn't going to be made, the new zealand film commission gave a third of the needed budget, until the found out what it was about, then some Japanese investors loved the idea and gave them the rest of the 750,000 to make it. The rest is history.
This is one of those films you keep to expose your friends to and watch them cringe and die inside a little.
You guys had like the ideal reactions to Sebastian's song. At first, disbelief, but then after you confirm that you did indeed hear what you thought you heard, one of you rolls your head back onto your shoulders while the other puts a hand to her face. :D But at the end, you have to clap, because it's not a bad song, just, about an unusual topic! "Well......... This song is going on a playlist........."
As a fan of Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles, and a proud New Zealander I squealed with delight when I saw the thumb nail!!!!!
Mum and Dad were not happy when we hired this at the local video store in the early 90's and Peter Jackson was still a small independent movie maker.
Please watch his first movie Bad Taste - filmed on weekends with nearly no budget
The budget did jump up (relatively) quite a bit part way through, as it got a grant from the NZ film commission from memory.
I love the fight scene between Peter Jackson and Peter Jackson in Bad Taste, a friend pissed himself three times whilst watching Dead Alive/Braindead!
Before the reaction even started, I was already like: "Oh, you're getting yourself into _SOMETHING_ here!" and YUUUP!, you're no sweet SUMMer child(ren) anymore!!🤣
Thank you for reacting to this!
I can 💯 relate to that feeling of ..liked it but still flabbergasted!!
This movie definitely hits you hard and out of nowhere!😂
Like, it was described to me as 'Muppets on (all the) Drugs' and it still managed to ...surprise me!😅
(Both with its shock value but also by being so genuinely well made!)
You should DEFINITELY also watch the other two early low budget Peter Jackson classics "BAD TASTE" & "Braindead" (aka. "Dead Alive")!!
They're both similar to this but also veeery different/unique at the same time...
(They all have in common: great practical fx, extreme gore and very creative ideas!!)
"BAD TASTE" iirc was his first feature film, so it's the cheesiest/cheapest out of the three but still surprisingly great to watch!
Braindead came out after Feebles and had the most budget of the 3 I think.. And they all look like it!
You can see the production quality improving while still remaining true to the creative craziness!!
With 🎃spooky season💀 around the corner, those two gems would definitely be great reactions!!!
"BAD TASTE" is fun SciFi/Horror/Trash and "Braindead"/"Dead Alive" is a crazy Horror-Comedy!
Both are absolute unique cult classics that kick 🍑!😉
Plus, it would also be interesting to see your reactions because there are some nice references to other films!!
Would love to see it!
In case you do it: boooyyy, you're not ready (similar to MtF) but daaaayum, this'll be fun!!
Thank you as always!🫂
Sending you lots of love!💜
Keep up the great work!✌️
at least its not the star wars holiday special movie 😄
Dead Alive aka Braindead was the very first Peter Jackson movie I saw on VHS in 1998, and it's pretty frickin Amazing and insane with the over the top blood and gore!
Bad Taste 1987 was his first feature a year earlier, Its just as awesome you should check it out.
@@cyberpunk6441 Another horrifying scene involving a spoon.
@@cyberpunk6441 Bad Taste (1987) was 2 years before Meet the Feebles (1989), 5 years before Dead Alive (1992). I've seen Bad Taste, it was okay, but I don't think it was anywhere near as good or funny as Dead Alive.
Its something that boggles my mind how a dude like him with these kinda movies managed to convince the Suits at New Line Cinema to acquire and then adapt the LotR and still make it one of the Best Movie Trilogy that we ever saw...
@@Kiernan5 I found Bad Taste hilarious the first time(particularly the uh, injury and use of a belt) I saw it in probably the early-mid 90s, as a teenager, but it's one of those movies you need to be in the right mood for, ideally late at night, etc. Of course it was easier pre-internet, as you had no expectations and either randomly watched/recorded something in the middle of the night or just rented a VHS.
Braindead is for sure better overall though.
The interview/documentary from the time "good taste made bad taste" is a very good watch, it's on youtube. It includes how he made props, camera gear, etc, along with the fantastic t-shirt he wears in the interview,.
I watched Meet the feebles after a friend in high school said he liked it, but it was too gross/sleazy for me at the time, and did rather change my perception of said friend...
Bad Taste 1987 is his first film, he made all the practical effects out of his garage. Its very good for being low budget.
And his parents oven!
That poor sheep lol
You know a movie is something extra when even Matthew does Emily faces! xD
For me, it actually was like Matt said it, when I heard that Peter Jackson were gonna direct the LOTR movies I was like "Uhhmmmm.... ... not THAT Peter Jackson, right?"
A couple other of his realy works are Braindead and Bad Taste, I highly recommend watching them!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden.
True. But at least, he had the more "serious filmmaking" movies "The Frighteners" & "Heavenly Creatures" between his early work and LOTR (that I not really care about at all as one of probably only a handful of people on this planet 😉). And "Heavenly Creatures" is a fantastic "serious" movie, highly recommended, somehow similar to another great but underrated 90s movie "The Virgin Suicides" from Coppolas Daughter Sofia.
That initial reaction to it was gold from both of them.
@@mrtveye6682 Ah, I've heard about hose movies but have actually never seen them. Didn't know they were Peter Jackson. I'll take your recommendations and see if I can find them to watch. :) And let me shake your hand regardng LOTR. I never read the books as a kid and have never felt the need to get into that universe. Maybe I've missed something? I'll manage.
@@liamwarner5749 Sure was!! xD
@@andreasbenning "The Frighteners" is a pretty entertaining hollywood-style horror-comedy, but not a "must see". "Heavenly Creatures" on the other hand is fantastic, great story, great acting, great cinematography. But be prepared, a totally different style than his old work, I dare to say it's somehow even arthouse-ish.
And nice to see there are some people out there who don't care about LOTR that much. 🤝
damn i had almost forgotten all about this movie...
I had a friend who was really into it...
every night he would take a few hits form the bong and put it on and fall asleep to it…
I cant believe you guys reacted to this film! I get Sebastian's "sodomy" song stuck in my head more than i care to admit. So few people I know have seen the movie that I can never find anyone to sing along with me lol And i agree with everyone else saying you should watch Brain Dead! Spooky season is almost upon us!
Ah, Peter Jackson's Trilogy of Trash is a sight to behold. You better get on Bad Taste and Braindead though!
Be sure to watch The Frighteners and Heavenly Creatures to witness a one-two punch that serves as an interesting bridge between his sleazy period and the serious period he's most known for.
Heavenly Creatures really needs more reactions
I clicked so fast when I saw you were reacting to this! I first saw "Meet the Feebles" when I was ~19 or 20 and my gf-at-the-time and I rented it not knowing anything about it other than that it was puppets and was supposed to be a dark comedy. I figured it was going to be a cheap Muppet Movie knock-off with maybe some slightly more adult jokes. I was definitely not prepared... especially for all the fluids. Woof. I came out of the movie like you did, a little disturbed but also kind of fascinated. Ultimately, I ended up kind of loving it and have taken great joy in recommending the movie to friends without telling them anything about it.
And, yeah, when Peter Jackson got the "Lord of the Rings" job, I was definitely surprised. At that time, I mostly knew him for "Meet the Feebles," "Dead/Alive" (aka "Braindead"), and "Bad Taste" so I was like, "Really? That guy?" Needless to say, I was expecting LotR to be way crazier than it was. I mean, he did a great job with it but ngl: I kind of wish Gollum had a musical number about sodomy...
My mom bought this movie on VHS back then for me when I was 13 because the cover looked so innocent. 😂
oh. oh no.
My mom showed me this when I was around 12 and I'm very sure she knew exactly what she was putting on lol.
@@JW666 I discovered the VHS in our collection in the basement and the cover is in comic style where Heidi is standing on Bletch carrying the machine gun surrounded by Harry, Arthur and the reporter fly.
I ran across this movie somehow in 2000-2001 and I immediately became a fan. Sebastian is also my favorite and yes, I found that song to put on my iPod. Lol. When I describe it to people I call it “x-rated muppets on acid”. And you are probably right. I have yet to find anyone who falls in the middle of their reaction. It’s either love or hate. Lol. I am proud to say I own the dvd.
Bonus, I just watched the Muppets Mayhem show this week and there is a moment of mention of the Feebles. Tiny and passing but I almost shrieked aloud as I felt like I was one of the only three people who even like this movie! Ha!!! It was because of that mention and me posting about it on FB that a friend linked me to your reactions. Which were fantastic!!
Such an underrated film.
That's always been a question in the back of my head......"who's going to react to this one first?" :) I would describe this film as the Muppets on acid. Major points to you guys for the reaction as well as to Peter Jackson for overall variety of his films! Now you have some others to consider like, "Bad Taste" and "Dead Alive" (Braindead).
Muppets on Crack or Heroin, more like.
I have never seen this before but as your reaction went along I started to remember seeing a vhs at my local video rental as a kid on the same shelf as Flesh Gordon and those types of films. 😂
Definitely add "Heavenly Creatures" to the list. It'll show you how Peter Jackson transitioned from this to being considered for LOTR.
I was a fan of his movies in the '90s, so when they announced him as the director for LOTR I was super stoked. It made so much sense.
Wow, I NEVER would have thought I’d see the day someone reacted to Meet the Feebles 😂😂😂😂
"IT'S BORAX!" is a line my friends and I regularly pull out
Fun little fact, the alligator that was in the war, they were trying to impersonate the guy who plays Doc in back to the future and that’s why he sounds like that
Filmed at the St James Theatre in Wellington, New Zealand just down the road from where I worked at the time. Notice all the cars including the limo were Morris 1000's "Minors"
I'd definitely check out the Frighteners and (especially) Heavenly Creatures if you haven't already. If anything landed Jackson the Lord of the Rings gig, it was those films.
He and his partner Fran Walsh also got an original screenplay Oscar nomination for the Heavenly Creatures. It’s hard to imagine him getting to make Lord of the Rings without that. It showed that he could do something serious and not rely on shock value (which almost all of his previous films did to some extent).
And The Frighteners, while still kinda schlocky, did have some pretty good special effects and showed that he could make a more polished Hollywood-style movie.
It’s still completely bonkers that he ended up directing LOTR with those two as his biggest prior film credits though.
You have to admit Peter Jackson had a really bizarre yet interesting dark sense on humor in his early movies (something that was really absent on his most recent works - not complaining, though). Meet the Feebles is the big demonstration of his twisted humor, that's why it is amazing
Hahaha! Classic film! Really, you should do "Brain Dead" (Dead Alive in the US) after this - one the the most hilarious/gross zombie movies of all time (another Peter Jackson film). Funnily enough, I met my first boyfriend on a blind date at a Meet the Feebles/Brain Dead double feature back in the early 90's! Loved it!! looking forward to your next reaction! xxooxx
Thank you! I was racking my brain trying to remember the name of Brain Dead!
I remember watching that at a buddy's house right after Fellowship came out. A bunch of friends and I all went to a midnight showing (and then watched it 3 more times in a row). We all went back to my friend's house to chill and unwind, and he (a connoisseur of truly bad cinema) pulls out a VHS of Brain Dead, noting that it was by the same guy who directed Fellowship.
We laughed our ASSES off watching that movie. I can still vividly remember my favorite scene, where the priest is fighting zombies and yells "I kick ass for the Lord!"
@@arklytte Definitely!! Classic line...........and so many classic lines throughout! Hahahaha! Nice one. xxooxx
One very good idea Jackson had for this one is that, besides Heidi being a bit Miss Piggy, none of the Feebles are clear parodies of any particular Muppet. Thus, he's able to just tell his own story without getting bogged down with that.
Now. 'Bad Taste' 1987.
Hey if you guys end up enjoying the early works of Peter Jackson you really should check out braindead AKA Dead Alive from 1992!
It's one of Peter Jackson's best and it's one hell of a wild ride.
That's a movie that I feel like most of your jaws will be wide open during the entire run time.
I'll just warn you, don't eat while watching it. 😂😂
"You're nothing but a loose lush" Well i am going to save that one for later
It still amazes me that they let him do Lord of the Rings after this.
Legend has it, they found out about this movie after they signed the contract with him :)
Why would you need Happy Time Murders when you have this.
So happy you guys are watching this. One of Peter Jackson’s best works.
I just got home from work and saw the thumbnail,...oh boy, you're in for a treat lol
You guys definitely need to do 'Bad Taste' and 'Braindead' next. Crazy ass gore effects and hilarious slapstick.
I remember picking up a bootleg VHS copy of this at a convention about a year after it was released.I'd seen Jackson's Bad Taste. So, I knew how far he was willing to go. But it was still surprising to see puppets do the things they do in this film.
The only film I can think of that compares to this is Team America: World Police, which does to Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation series like Thunderbirds, what this film does to the Muppets.
Now you have to watch the movie Jackson made before this one, Bad Taste. Then follow that with his hilarious gorefest Dead Alive aka Brain Damage.
Yes! You should totally watch his other early movies.
I remember watching this at uni. When I saw you were watching I couldn’t wait to see your reactions 🤣
Matt: "the 1989 musical comedy Meet The Feebles"
Me: Dis gon be gud
I would love to see you guys react to Peter Jackson’s braindead this Halloween
So in chronological order, you need to watch Bad Taste, Peter Jackson's bizarre as hell first movie. Dead Alive\Braindead, a zombie movie. Heavenly Creatures, based on a true story about two young girls who become obsessed with each other, and is also Kate Winslet's first film. And The Frighteners, his first "American" movie. Very generally about Michael J Fox having the ability to see ghosts.
17:14 Was expecting Her to say "HEY THATS MY LINE!
(pre-screening comment) I like it! Was personally jumped with this flick back in the day by a 'friend'. Good times...
If you like a tamer, up-to-date similar(ish) movie: Do 'The Happytime Murders'. It draws off of this one in some regards. And it was done by the Henson Company. So, basically 'The Happytime Murders' can be seen as "What would it look like if the Master of Muppets did 'Meet the Feebles'?"
AW MAN, ya'll going down a real rabbit hole with this one.
Wobert introducing himself with your cat directly underneath making her bed all comfy was pretty funny
Meet the Feebles walked so that The Happytime Murders could run lol
Such a fun movie.
And you sitting there talking about what character reminds you of whom, I was waiting for that Bletch Weinstein reference
My whole adult life I recall what I thought was a muppet episode where they stabbed each other, sold drugs in an alley & a muppet put a noose around it's neck. I looked for "lost" episodes as an adult where the Muppets kill one another with no luck. I finally decided it must have been a dream I had as a young kid. Well, I saw this movie last week & realized this is what I saw!!! My dad must of thought this was a kid friendly movie & let me watch it 😂😂😂😂 tramatized me for a long time ngl. Very nasty movie, but watching it as an adult, I actually like it. The music is pretty cool.
This is one of them BadShitCrazy films ever made, cool reaction as always Emily & Matthew, you both take care
I'm very happy that you reacted to this movie but I'm surised that the Flicker Show Philantropist wasn't already familiar with it.
It would have been PJ's Academy Awards nomination for Heavenly Creatures that would have gotten him in Newlines sights, although he was also doing alot of his own special effects at the new Weta Workshop after that and also in Frightners, and was big in pushing the LotR movies as being produced in NZ using his effects studio which would have dropped costs and the like with everything being done for the most part in the one location.
Yeah his first 3 films are special (but you do see aspects of them and his style in all his latter films), hes the kind of director who doesnt mind pushing envelope or was.
Would love to see the reactions to Braindead... "I kick arse for the lord!".
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
I saw the title thumbnail and thought: "Oh boy here we go!" 🤣🤣
My friend introduced this movie to me when I was sixteen, then I made my mum watch it with me, she had a twisted sense of humour so I knew she'd love it.
Being familiar with this movie, when you asked Pippin if he was ready, I said to myself, he may be but y'all aint.
You will never get the theme song out of your head. It lives rent free now in your head
_(sees thumbnail)_ "Oh dear god no"
It wasn't "a scene too far" for me, but yeah, the fly got me hurkin'. The _SPOON._
The real story of what all happened on the Muppet Show.
When I found out that Peter Jackson was doing the LotR trilogy, I assumed that New Line had watched "Heavenly Creatures" (his first) and skipped all his other movies.
This is one of those movies that could be ended with “The Aristocrats”. It’s like watching a train wreck. You don’t want to see it, but you can’t stop.
When Lord of the Rings was announced, most people didn't knew who he was. My friends have just watched Meet the Feeblkes, Brain Dead and Bad Taste... It was genuinly shocking. He did made good horror comedy The Frighteners with Michael J. Fox. I do love Jackson's films. The Mockumentary Forgotten Silver is good too. Thumbs up what you guys for do us our entertainment!
You know and I know we are ALL thinking the same thing... When are they making part 2!!! Right? So glad this came up! Love ya'll!
if you want more of that drawer, I can suggest..
"Braindead" from 1992 also a Peter Jackson film.
One of the most-disturbing movies I've ever watched. And one of the funniest. Your reactions were priceless.
Thanks, 5his movie was a staple in my youth amongst my friends and I and the quotes from it survives to this day. Hilarious seeing American reaction guys.
I always wished Peter Jackson would do the Robert Rodriguez thing. Robert Rodriguez makes a spy kids movie and then uses the money from that to go make machete or planet terror and then follows that up with another spy kids movie. I wish Peter Jackson would make a Lord of the rings movie and then something like dead alive and then another Lord of the rings movie and then something like meet the feebles.
PLEASE PLEASE watch his 2 previous films "bad taste" and "Braindead" you guys are in for a treat.
This is most certainly one of those films that will have you wondering two things:
1. Is it actually possible to feel like you're tripping balls without ever having touched any sort of substance?
2. Am I going to Hell for watching this?
No on both counts
Seeing early Jackson, should do early James Gunn and watch Tromeo and Juliet as well.
Added bonus of Tromeo is that, just like all the Troma movies, it's free to watch on RUclips
Well...that was a thing.
It felt like this was the precursor to Conker's Bad Fur Day.
First saw Feebles when I was a teen in the '90s. It was the sort of thing I'd watch alongside other gonzo absurdist masterpieces like Street Trash, Tourist Trap, Freaked, Bad Channels, Nothing but Trouble, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Dead-Alive (aka Braindead, another Peter Jackson joint), and the Evil Dead trilogy. Some years later, I found out PJ would be directing LotR. His career went in sort of a Sam Raimi direction. Just so happens Raimi was one of his biggest influences. Raimi also influenced Quentin Tarantino and Guillermo del Toro.
Edit/Note: Your cuddly soft kitty is impossibly adorbsy-go-nuts! >w
Early Peter Jackson doesn't mess around.
Now you need to watch Jackson's 'Bad Taste'. His first film and the ultimate example of zero + big ideas = comedy gold.
You said "fly on the wall" before the fly showed up!!!! perfect!!!
it was cool to see you both going in blind. I've never heard of this before but I will watch it in it's entirety soon. The movie seemed like a really vivid bad acid trip.. it would be horrifying to see it while tripping🤣🤣
You're not ready for this! I watched this on IFC, and I was 15. And LOTS OF ACID.
You guys are one of the only channels so far to react to this masterpiece. We need to get this out!
"Heavenly Creatures". Just understand that Peter doing this movie made the connections between his crude early movies to getting LOTR. This is not a joke.
Oh my god, I cannot believe this is happening.
Before the internet, when it was harder to verify things, there were some movies that i thought were just fever dreams. This and The Return to Oz were two such movies.
Just wanted to say that this is the Peter Jackson movie you recommend to someone who says that 'Bad Taste' was no big deal. I had heard of both movies back when Fangoria covered 'The Frighteners' back in 1995, but it took me close to 10 years to find this one at a video store I was put in charge of back in the days. I've seen a lot of stuff over my years in video stores, and this kinda shocked me. Another movie that has a similar WTF tone is 'Forbidden Zone' with Danny Elfman as Satan and Herve Villechais (Tattoo from 'Fantasy Island) as King of the Underworld. But that one is more of a WTF-funny than a WTF-gross.
I had the same reaction when i saw this in back in 1990. You should watch Bad taste which Peter did a couple years earlier.
I remember watching this when it first released at a midnight showing in Sydney CBD, awesomely twisted.
It was 1995, I was 15. I got my mom to rent it for me from Video Tape Center. Neither of us looked closely. My friends and I were very entertained. My mom ended up buying it for me and had it flown in from Canada because she couldn’t find it anywhere else for purchase.
Dude, your Mom ROCKS.
My Mom popped this one in the VCR when I wasn't around & had forgotten to hide it. She had to have open heart surgery by the 3/4th point. She then phoned up Lexington Video & SCREAMED them that she was cancelling our family membership & that they ought to be ASHAMED of themselves for allowing minors access to such a "REVOLTING, DEGRADING, PERVERSE & DEPRAVED SPECTACLE!!!". I was never allowed NEAR Lexington Video ever again, never mind go indoors & actually give them money under the threat of being returned to private school.
My parents & I still have a good yuck over that one.
That is hilarious. Yeah, I got lucky with my parents/.
Well now, welcome to years of massive therapy. LOL the complete look of utter trauma on her face was priceless.
Fun Fact: They Used Live Ammunition For The M60 in The Movie. Those Aren't Blanks
I can't unsee this movie. No. I can't. Don't think I'd watch it again.
My first thought was, "Look away Pippin! Avert thine eyes innocent one!" 😳 Never heard of this movie before and I just kept saying, " Oh noooooo!"
"I'm gonna split this down the MIDDLE, BUTT I really enjoyed the SODOMY song." I see what you did there.
A movie I saw when I was to young was tarantula, because it had a different Swedish title which translate exactly to itsy bitsy spider. And it was showing on kid-friendly hours.
