Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Muppets into the ol’ VCR.
I don’t think it’s going to be a startling revolution to anyone who reads this, but I freakin’ LOVE The Muppets.
I grew up watching all of their movies and reruns of The Muppet Show.
When I was an RA in college, someone covered for me so that I could go see The Muppets back in 2011.
I absolutely loved The Muppets Mayhem before it got canceled (and still think the cancellation was a HUGE mistake).
I watch The Muppet Christmas Carol every single year.
I follow the delightful, fan-run Muppet History account on Instagram.
You get it.
Me, thinking about the least likely outcome of a situation and then fixating on it
I can’t fully explain why I love The Muppets so much.
I don’t know if it’s the humor or Kermit’s eternal optimism.
Is it Pepé the King Prawn or “Rainbow Connection”?
Is it Miss Piggy? Full stop.
I’m not sure.
But, I do love them, and I know I’m not alone.
That’s why I’ve decided to assemble a list of some of my favorite Muppets content to share with all of you.
Actual footage of me being a silly goose and writing about pop culture on the internet
