Listen to the last episode:
In this episode, I revisit and explore the story of "Muppets From Space," from 1999, the first Muppets Movie to make the most of the digital age of cinema, where Gonzo embarks on a quest to discover his extra-terrestrial roots, all whilst dressed in a tin foil hat and jamming down to one of teh funkiest soundtracks of a Muppets film to date!
The movie was hit and miss with fans, but for me, it was always one of my guilty pleasures, mainly I think because the randomness of Gonzo was always one of my favourite characters of the Muppets... but do we need a Gonzo origin story, or does that destroy his ambiguous mythos?
I also take a deep dive into the rich history of Jim Henson and the Muppets, from their humble beginnings to their status as beloved cultural icons, and uncover the magic and some of the names behind the Muppets' enduring legacy.
So join Gonzo, Kermit, Fozzy Bear, Rizzo the Rat, Miss Piggy, Pepe the Prawn and a host of other fuzzy creatures and celebrity cameos from Jeffery Tambor to Andy MacDowell, that make up his jam-packed crazy sci-fi Muppets comedy!
