Episode 52: ‘The Happytime Murders’ and All Things Puppets with Helen Hong

Episode notes

The Happytime MurdersDo you love puppets? Well then this is the episode you’ve been waiting for! We’ve got comedian, actor, and Maximum Fun’s Go Fact Yourself host, Helen Hong on to discuss the new puppet noir The Happytime Murders. Helen is uniquely qualified to discuss this film because she reveals that she actually auditioned for it! Ricky declares his love for Big Trouble in Little China. Drea proves herself to be a true “puppet movie” expert. And the gang receives a “voicemail postcard” from Alonso at the Venice Film Festival. Plus, the crew plays that game that America loves – ‘Name That Puppet!’ And as always, we’ve got Staff Picks.

In news, Ethan Hawke has some thoughts on superhero movies, the Big Trouble in Little China remake is actually a sequel, and Netflix may stop sending out DVDs in 2022.
