The Muppet Movie (1979)

In a rare trip to the 1970s, Big D and Gene examine the Jim Henson film that started it all: “The Muppet Movie.”

Sharing a respect for the wild characters and expert puppeteering in this 1979 road comedy, the Shat Crew digs into the surprisingly adult themes, delightfully quiet jokes and clever self-awareness. On the other hand, “The Muppet Movie” drags at times before culminating in a gorgeous ensemble ending.

In this episode, the Shat Crew covers a real-life Orson Welles, songs that go on too long, “The Muppet Movie” legacy and whether Animal is overrated.
