We aren't watching Muppet Babies or animated Fraggle Rock this week, but I fear our brains might be permanently fried from having done so for too long. We sound unwell in this epiosde frankly.

The boys find themselves violently ripped out of 1986 in order to discuss the new Disney+ documentary Jim Henson: Idea Man.

It's Muppet Babies time again... it's always Muppet Babies time these days, it feels like... can you believe we started talking about this show almost exactly a year ago and we aren't even 1/3 of the way through?

Picture a Muppet: cute, felty, googly eyes, right? Now what if that Muppet was just a little bit twisted? Still a puppet, but with nasty rubber skin, big teeth, maybe some slime? That, my friends, is a Creature! And we're gonna start seeing a lot of them as Creatures start popping up more and more in non-Henson productions. Productions like Dreamch…

If this were August 1985, I could say to you "I just got back from a movie where a childish, naive character goes on a cross-country journey to reclaim something lost, meeting outlandish friends and enemies along the way," and you'd have to ask me "do you mean Pee-Wee's Big Adventure or Follow That Bird?" Maybe not a particularly interesting observ…

We're still watching Fraggle Rock, and honestly I'm starting to root for the Gorgs. I think the Fraggles should all get smashed. They're bad friends and they're stupid too! Also I had COVID in this episode, so maybe a fun game would be to see if you can pinpoint all the moments where my brain ceases to function! Episodes covered: "Scared Silly," "T…
