I first reviewed the Meatgrinder show in July. Back then they had only 3 episodes and a handful of PSA’s. The show was rough around the edges but had  certain dirty charm – if you could get past the overtly sexual puppet themes. Since then, Chris Erb, Dal Wolf and Dan Mott have put out a whopping 2 more episodes. But, hey, then again, I’ve not put out a new post in over a week so we’ll let that one slide.

The question is, have they gotten any better? And the answer is, unfortunately, no.

I really wanted to like this show. It’s indie made and it manages to have pretty decent production quality. Hell, they made their own puppet! But, at the end of the day, after watching all the episodes once again (for your gentle reader, only for you)…I have to honestly say that the show is not worth your time.

Your 14 year old brother or cousin might like it. Hell, they’ll probably find it brilliant…but, here’s the thing, if your not an adolescent, sex-starved boy, you won’t be able to sit through more than one episode.

Last time I took a few snarky shots at Dal Wolf’s acting, but hey, the guy’s better than most Youtubers (seen Hooking Up yet?) and it’s really not the acting that kills the show for me, it’s the really lame attempts at irreverent humor. Comedy is tricky genre and Chris Erb, writer director of the Meatgrinder show, clearly does not get it.

the Bottom Line:

2 out of 5 stars. This train has gone off the tracks…you don’t need to bother watching.
