Episode 31: The Muppet Movie

It’s time to get things started! This week, The Regular Guy Movie Show is movin’ right along with Jim Henson’s 1979 big-screen debut, The Muppet Movie.We revisit the movie that brought the Muppets out of the television studio and into the real world, marvel at the practical ingenuity that somehow made frogs ride bicycles and bears drive cars, and talk about why the movie’s combination of dry humor, slapstick insanity, fourth-wall breaking, and genuine sincerity still works nearly five decades later...at least for two of us.Plus:We'll get into the sexual organs of fogsDive into a cavalcade of cameos...and discuss whether they still hold up when most of them are now deceasedWe test our knowledge with a round of Muppet triviaThe Muppet Movie takes on Alien, The Blues Brothers, Labyrinth, Gremlins and more in Pick Your PoisonWe hand out our Boddicker Award for the characters who brought the most to the movieAnd we answer the most important question of all: How many beers does it take to properly enjoy The Muppet Movie?So grab your banjo, fire up the Studebaker, and watch out for anyone offering you a career in the frog-leg industry.It’s time to play the music.It’s time to light the lights.It’s time for The Muppet Movie on The Regular Guy Movie Show.Listen to The Regular Guy Movie Show wherever you get your podcasts, and visit regularguymovieshow.com to suggest the next questionable classic we take on.
