Listen "Episode 342 - The Muppet Movie is the Good Mood You Need Right Now"
Episode Synopsis
Do the Muppets even carry the same cultural heft now as in their 70s heyday? Who cares? Because there is no movie as pure and joyful and fun as The Muppet Movie, so say us. Jim Henson and Co. took what was best about their TV show and turned it into a road-comedy with heart, an erstwhile origin story of how the Muppets became THE MUPPETS. With lots of classic, catchy bangers by Paul Williams thrown in among the (now dated?) cameos by stars you may not even remember if you are younger than 50. This thing is peak Gen-X, kids. It is also a movie guaranteed to lift your mood - a 90-minute shot of dopamine, serotonin and positivity mainlined into your brainpan by cute and cuddly puppets, all wrapped in a giant, fuzzy warm hug.
