Listen "Episode 97: The Muppets Go to the Movies"
Episode Synopsis
This week, your favorite ex-puppeteers grab their popcorn and a bucket of felt as they revisit the 1981 television special The Muppets Go to the Movies.Part clip show, part genre spoof, and all chaotic charm, this special saw Kermit, Piggy, and the gang lampoon Hollywood’s greatest hits—from westerns and silent films to musicals, monster flicks, and even a dash of epic melodrama. Along for the ride were guest stars Lily Tomlin and Dudley Moore, each gleefully throwing themselves into the Muppet madness with the kind of commitment only true comedy legends can deliver. Along the way, we’ll share behind-the-scenes tidbits, geek out over the puppetry tricks that made it all possible, and debate which genre the Muppets truly conquered (spoiler: it might be “unintentional surrealism”).Because when the Muppets go to the movies, it’s never just a tribute—it’s a felt-covered takeover.Join the discussion on our discord! https://discord.gg/JDtWJrhPF6Follow us on twitter @PMoNPodcast and on Instagram and Threads @puppetmastersofnoneFind out more about the puppet masters on our website: https://puppetmastersofnone.wixsite.com/puppetmastersofnoneOriginal Music Composed by Taetro. @Taetro https://www.taetro.com/Send us a text
