The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)

There’s nothing quite like the bright lights of the big city - specifically, New York City. As they say, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out the Deluxe New York Virtual Getaway package I picked up was actually for Staten Island, New York and not New York City. Thankfully, our Hilton Star Trek Simulator does allow for movies to be shown in a panoramic setting…and there’s one movie in our collection that just so happens to feature a killer’s row of stars and the great city of Manhattan in all of it’s grimy, sleazy, pre-Giuliani glory.I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try to make it in the big city are fellow cinephiles and off-Broadway stars Ryan, Mike, and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include Kermit’s Don Draper turn; we witness Animal go full spider-mode as he attacks famed character actor Dabney Coleman; and finally, we’re shocked to discover that Jim Henson beat Brad Bird to the punch when it comes to rats running a kitchen.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
