They used a generic Muppet for John McLean, and the real-life actor was an Alan Rickman lookalike, who I have to say stole the show.

Amazing writing, creative low-budget props, and actors who clearly had an amazing time.

They brought it back for a couple of runs in larger venues a few years later.

Sadly, because of copyright, it had to be renamed MDH Puppets Do a Movie.

Which isn't really as good as Muppets Die Hard, but anyway, still a great show.

The same group did a few more mash-up shows over the years, some of which equally amazing.

One called Goldilocks, Stock and Three Smoking Bears, which is great.

Oedipus in Boots.

I think they're still going and put on a show over Christmas and New Year, so well worth checking if listeners live in Bristol.

Keep up the great work.

Chris in Bristol, who has shared a link to the Muppets Die Hard show.

Oh, really?

Yeah, we'll put it in the show notes.

So if you want more on the Muppets Die Hard and those shows, then look at our show notes and follow it from there.

Tell us something that's new and horrific.

Yeah.

No.

The movie is Backrooms.
