Kermitment - A Muppets Podcast

This week, we watch a show about a puppeteer to whom the weight of success has exacted a mighty toll, leaving him toiling in solitude trying to attain perfection that will always elude him. That's right, it's the Jim Henson Hour! And this week's epiosde is the TV movie Monster Maker, about some British kid with an evil dad or something, I wasn't paying attention. We're also joined in conversation by screenwriter David Misch, who worked directly with Jim Henson and Frank Oz on an eclectic series of projects including Muppets Take Manhatten and Inner Tube!

This week, we're watching the first episode of The Jim Henson Hour, which was also the fifth episode and sort of also the last episode.

We talk about his early days making Muppet zines, the monumental websites he's founded, and his future in the Muppet fandom! It's a good one!
