Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss The Great Muppet Caper. A jewel heist is afoot in London. 

 

Featuring guest stars befitting of its London settings, including  John Cleese, Joan Sanderson, and Robert Morley, The Great Muppet Caper tries to have more of a plot than The Muppet Movie. An increased focus on narrative does the movie no favor as it takes away from some of the fun. Musical numbers tend to be on a greater scale with more muppets than ever before, but the songs lack the punch and emotional heft of Paul Williams' tunes from the last picture. Mediocre muppetry at best.
