It's an unholy union months in the making...

Sure, the folks at Vox Fabuli fused their puppetry with one of the worst Bad Movies ever made and spawned Manos, the Hands of Felt -- a nigh shot-for-shot (musical!) rehash of Manos, the Hands of Fate...using FREAKING PUPPETS.

But the union I'm talking about is the marry-o-'netting of that brilliantly twisted project with the delightfully deranged Smithee Awards! Your Host has obtained permission from the creators to present this masterpiece in a Very Special Event: The Smithee Viewing Party #5!

Wait, there's more! MtHoFelt Writer and Producer Rachel Jackson will be on "Hand" to answer questions and meet the fans! Ask Her (Almost) Anything about behind-the-scenes facts and how this freakish abomination came to be. (And who among us Smithee fans doesn't love a freakish abomination?)

The fun begins on Friday, January 24th -- We'll soft-open at 8:30pm ET for the Q&A with Rachel and the movie itself will begin promptly at 9:00pm and go until about 10:30pm. It's all going down in the Smithee Screening Room channel on our Discord server: The Smithee Awards Discord Dance Party!

The catch? Only one: The Viewing Parties are only open to paid Patreon members (of any tier). Not a member yet? Don't despair! An event so special deserves a special promotion. So to commemorate this viewing party, I'm offering a 50% discount on all new memberships this month! Simply use the promotional code FELT when signing up at The Smithee Awards Patreon.

Come for the puppets, stay for the year-round weirdness of the Smithees!
