It’s been called “the reason thousands of ’80s kids were scared to death.” Also: “A nightmare,” “Trippy,” and “Lynchian.” Join us as we take a deep dive into the infamous Punky Brewster episode, The Perils of Punky. Filmmaker Jamie Gagnon joins the discussion as we unravel the connection between neon spiders, cave faces, and a certain dismembered character known as Mr. Pieces. It’s no wonder this episode traumatized a generation.
