More Pigs In SPAAAAACE!

Last week the original crew of the Swinetrek returned for their first new adventure in 35 years. This week they're back again with another malodorous episode!

The Return of Pigs In SPAAAAACE!

After nearly 35 years, the original crew of the Swinetrek have returned in their first new adventure!

The video was written and directed by Kirk Thatcher and produced in conjunction with soapbox studios.

We hope this is the first of many more to come!

Happy Birthday, Kirk Thatcher!

The video was superbly directed by Kirk Thatcher and is probably the best viral video after "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Fantasist job all around. What a great gag to end it on too.
