Weird Kids | Episode 45: Everything is Better with Puppets
Member
1h 2m
Original Air Date: September 22, 2026Taliesin Jaffe and Ashley Johnson are definitely not puppets brought to life by a dark spell. Probably. Either way, our Weird Kids share a deep fascination with the storytelling power existing in everything from simple shadows to the most advanced animatronics.Between Taliesin’s previous forays into the medium and Ashley’s budding collection, there’s no shortage of puppetry inspired insight and whimsy on this episode of Weird Kids.
Also in this episode:
• The one movie Taliesin has seen over 300 times
• Backstage with the Bob Baker Marionette Theater
• The inescapable sexual awakening of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth
