Two Skeskis enter, one Skeksis leaves…it’s TRIAL BY MUPPET GAME SHOW! That’s right, welcome back to the second half of the third season of Hubba-Wha?! In this episode, Becca is challenging the assumption that The Dark Crystal is boring with an exciting ride through the legends of the Skeksis, Mystics, and all of Thra. Along for the quest are two legends of Muppet fandom: ToughPigs’ own Katilyn Miller and our pal Ren Goetz. If they want to win fabulous prizes, they’ll need to brave dangerous creatures, a behind-the-scenes tour, and…spicy peppers? Play along and let us know how you do! PLUS: A twist ending you’ll have to hear to believe!
