Steve Swanson: We form first impressions with the trailers that we see. That's why they make trailers, so we can form an impression as to whether we wanna go see the movie or not. I saw the trailer for Happytime Murders and was thoroughly disappointed, and kinda confused and angry because, I remember talking about this 10 years ago when I was doing the MuppetCast. It took them 10 years to make this?
JD Hansel: No, wait, it actually took them 12, it's just been 10 since they publicly announced it. And the script has been in Brian Henson's hands for 15 years.
Steve: Yeah, so all that time, for 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Like, were puppets ruined with this movie?
JD cracks up: That's it guys, puppets are over.
Steve: Puppets are done, I think we're done here.
JD: They just closed down the Center for Puppetry Arts as we're recording this, they just shut the doors, closed it down, we're done.
