We've watched a lot of terrifying puppets during the course of this podcast, but the puppets in the Rimini Riddle wouldn't look out of place in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes.

We debate the pros and cons of being a Highlander as we watch another cartoon based on a film that wasn't for children. It's a kind of magic that it even got made, but thankfully, there can be only one.
