This week, your favorite ex-puppeteers tackle the foam-rubber fiasco known as Mac and Me—the 1988 E.T. knockoff so brazen, it makes you wonder if anyone at the studio had actually seen E.T. (or sobriety).We dig into the wobbly alien puppetry, the animatronics that look like they were powered by a car battery on its last legs, and of course, that infamous McDonald’s dance sequence that plays like a fever dream sponsored by fries. Along the way, we’ll explore how this cult catastrophe came to be, how an iconic creature studio could produce such a disastrous puppet, and why Paul Rudd has spent decades keeping it alive on Conan.It’s part roast, part puppet autopsy, and part ode to the kind of movie that’s so bad, it somehow becomes immortal.Because sometimes puppets inspire wonder… and sometimes they inspire lawsuits.Join the discussion on our discord! https://discord.gg/JDtWJrhPF6Follow us on twitter @PMoNPodcast and on Instagram and Threads @puppetmastersofnoneFind out more about the puppet masters on our website: https://puppetmastersofnone.wixsite.com/puppetmastersofnoneOriginal Music Composed by Taetro. @Taetro  https://www.taetro.com/Send us a text
