How do you feel about Meet The Feebles? How do you feel it compares to Peter Jackson's other films (his early works, and his later blockbusters)? Which films would you recommend similar to Meet The Feebles? Thanks for watching!

It makes sense that Hollywood would never remaster this movie. This is a perfect porady and satire on the place as a whole with all its corruption

Your highbrow style of speaking paired wonderfully.

Thank you, I'm glad you think so! 🥰

My cousin and I were watching over a bunch of our nieces and nephews at a family gathering as we were usually told to do and decided to show them this. I wouldn't have done that today but I genuinely didn't get along with that side of my family and I was so annoyed that I was spending another Sunday watching over kids. Within 5 minutes, my youngest nephew started crying and ran to his mom. His drunk dad ran into the room and immediately threw an unopened beer can at me started attacking my cousin with his belt while calling us very unkind and homophobic words. The beer can miss me so I launched it at his head, knocking him on the floor. By the time my uncle came in, my cousin and I were stomping and punching him. Now, I do not advocate violence or wish on others. Needless to say, we never were told to watch over the kids again and neither me or my cousin have visited that side of the family in years (for sooooooo many damn reasons). Yeah, I think that was the last time I've seen Meet the Feebles. Over the years I would look at clips of it and get grossed out. Something about it being puppets unsets me more for some reason. I never really watched the Muppets and I was a bigger Mr. Rogers fan than Seseame Street but who knows.

I'm sorry that side of your family has been so difficult, I could imagine this would be a tough film to revisit. Even if people don't enjoy the film (understandably ofc), it sounds like that dad was wanting to start something anyway. I can understand if this film feels tough to rewatch - some of the scenes in this film certainly shocked me, especially a certain scene with the baby chicken-elephant and a lot of blood. I always wished we had Mr. Rogers here in the UK, I saw Won't You Be My Neighbour and I just love his kindness, wisdom, and forward-thinking. 🥲

Oh my gosh, this and Braindead have been on my watchlist since I was a young movie nerd voraciously watching everything I could get my hands on, but neither have ever been particularly easy to find in the US.

Braindead is an absolute hoot! It's my favourite of Peter Jackson's early horror-comedy stuff - it's not too hard to find on KZread, but the physical media collector side of me is really hoping Peter Jackson fulfils his promise finishes the 4k remasters of his early films one day 🥲

I've come into this video after knowing of, and watching, the film when I was farrrrr too young to understand any of it and still finding joy in it. I just find it wild that, by this point, Meet the Feebles is considered a thing that exists within The Muppets now in the wake of a spinoff based around The Electric Mayhem.

That movie was so fucked up, I can't help but love it.

I feel the same about Peter Jackson's early films too, it feels so drastically different to what he's known for today 🥰

Love em but just will never trust Criterion until this is in their closet.

That's the dream for sure. If we can get Pink Flamingos in the Criterion collection, then there should be justice for Meet The Feebles 🙏
