Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 13, 2021 I started watching Modok last night. It's from the Robot Chicken team so your enjoyment probably hinges on that, but ive enjoyed the first few episodes. I saw they added Bless the Harts which was a Fox animation which just got cancelled after 2 seasons. Anyone seen it? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t agree more. Best thing they’ve done since Christmas Carol, though still not keen on new Kermit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I prefer The Muppets to Christmas Carol but that’s a very controversial opinion apparently. Should have made that clearer, me being vague.  Regrettably I’ve never seen From Space (Is that where Hogan pops up?) Edited October 9, 2021 by Hannibal Scorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted October 9, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Pepe and Bobo fully justify the existence of Muppets Tonight and I'm so glad Pepe became top tier. I enjoyed Haunted Mansion, mainly because I'd recently watched the documentary about it on Disney Plus, otherwise most of it would be lost on me and it felt like the older frantic Muppet stuff. Wrong voiced Kermit can do one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 9, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 thought it might be worth mentioning that you can exchange Tesco Clubcard vouchers for a Disney+ subscription now, ÂŁ8 in vouchers will get you a 3 month sub.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Count me in as another fan of Muppets Haunted Mansion, was grinning from ear to ear for the entire special, I'm still gradually getting used to Matt Vogel's Kermit voice though but it's improving. Hoping that they've sorted out the restoration for Christmas Carol and have it in full high definition with THAT song rightfully restored for over the Christmas period, especially as they are doing a concert tour of the film around the country from late November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I wasn't too fussed about The Muppets when I was young. Just passed me by for some reason. Totally fell in love with them after the Amy Adams one though. Went back and watched everything multiple times since. The Haunted Mansion one is better than I ever hoped.

I would record them and watch when my parants weren't around. That shed scene from Commando I had no idea existed until I bought the bluray decades later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted October 10, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2021 The 80s and early 90s were such a crazy time to grow up watching films for the first time. Horrendous hack jobs on films with huge chunks removed so they could be shown pre watershed. The classic examples being Romancing The Stone which was on ITV at 8 and cut to shreds with the classic ITV dubbing over all the swearing and then bang on 9 they just left it all uncut, as if anyone young watching just went to bed, and Robocop, which was edited to be shown on a Saturday afternoon to promote the TV series. Even the post watershed version never had the scene where the gang member crashed into the toxic waste. It blew my mind seeing that for the first time (after only seeing the still on the back of the VHS cover)Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Loved Muppets Haunted Mansion, being a big fan of the attraction I liked how they got so many phrases in from it as well as part of the back story of the attraction. Hoping to see more crossovers in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw the Corey Feldman translates for the Maid and Dan Aykroyd ghost blowjob scenes blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time I think ITV only left the movies uncut if they went out after the ten o'clock news. Channel 4 were the only terrestrial channel that aired movies uncut back then.
