Donna sure does love The Muppets and she decided to take us through her favorite Muppet movie of all-time: The Muppets Take Manhattan. Chris and Carlos have similarly fond memories of Jim Henson's beloved band of misfits and none of them can remember a time when they weren't a part of their lives.
They discuss the differences between the films & TV shows
produced when Henson was still alive and the ones that followed
after his death, Donna has some issues with the lyrics of Miss
Piggy's love ballad, Chris is surprised that the supporting cast is
largely absent for most of the movie's running time, and everyone
does a Kermit the Frog impression at some point.
Other topics include: the live-action Muppet Babies
sequence and the cartoon that followed, Chris' not-so-irrational
fear of Miss Piggy as a child, what to do when you see a rat, what
NOT to do when a woman says no, what happened to The Muppets in the
late 90s/early aughts, and the most recent attempts at recapturing
this property's former glory.
