Kermitment - A Muppets Podcast

The boys find themselves violently ripped out of 1986 in order to discuss the new Disney+ documentary Jim Henson: Idea Man. Are there surprises in store, or have Sam and Matt learned everything there is to know about Jim and more in the process of recording 141 episodes of Kermitment ? Either way, sometimes it's just nice to take a step back and look how far we've all come! Check out  http://kermi...

Picture a Muppet: cute, felty, googly eyes, right? Now what if that Muppet was just a little bit  twisted ? Still a puppet, but with nasty rubber skin, big teeth, maybe some slime? That, my friends, is a Creature! And we're gonna start seeing a lot of them as Creatures start popping up more and more in non- Henson productions. Productions like  Dreamchild , a thouroughly depressing story about the...

If this were August 1985, I could say to you "I just got back from a movie where a childish, naive character goes on a cross-country journey to reclaim something lost, meeting outlandish friends and enemies along the way," and you'd have to ask me "do you mean Pee-Wee's Big Adventure or Follow That Bird?
