This 1989 movie by a young Peter Jackson is very bizarre. It’s like a parody of The Muppets. It has music, heartbreak, betrayal, bdsm, threesomes, fur ball murder, a fly that eats shit out of the toilet like one would eat chili, stds, binge eating, and racist flashbacks.
It’s truly bizarre. Would I watch it again just to scrunch my nose at it?
