It’s Time To Light The Lights: Some Of My Favorite Muppets Content
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
I’m pulling from shows, specials, and movies, so there’s a smattering of everything.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 8 pieces of content (and two honorable mentions) that will make you want to flail your arms like Kermit:
- The Muppets
- The Muppet Show
- The Muppet Movie
- The Muppets Mayhem
- Muppet Treasure Island
- The Muppets Take Manhattan
- The Muppet Christmas Carol
- A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa
- John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together
Honorable Mentions:
- Christmas Eve on Sesame Street
- Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

Lost And Refound Media: Zoog Disney
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Zoog Disney into the ol’ VCR.
Friends, I have what’s basically going to sound like a fever dream for all of you today.
Do you remember a programming block on the Disney Channel that ran from 1998 to 2002 with little robot hosts?
Ring any bells?
Well, I’m here to tell you that you didn’t imagine these critters.
Zoog Disney was a real thing.
Zoogs were a group of characters who resided in the Zeether, aka “the space between TVs and computers.”
They intro’d different shows, fan-made content, you name it.
And, boy, were these little guys cute.
Each Zoog had their own name, personality, and specialty, and some of the bumpers included a full roll call.
Video source: ashleyslomo
The Zoogs were originally created by David Fremont back in 1997 while working with Colossal Pictures.
According to Fremont, Disney reached out to Colossal Pictures with the abstract idea of Zoogs, and he and a few other artists designed what would become the Zoogs we saw on-air.
Unfortunately, there was a redesign at some point that David didn’t approve or work on, and that’s a big ol’ bummer.
Much like The Brendan Leonard Show, the Zoogs only live on through clips on YouTube.
There are some dedicated playlists, but you have to do some searching to find specific clips, and I was unable to find a couple of the ones I remembered and/or read about.
Maybe one day the Zoogs will be restored to their former glory and put on a streamer or, at the very least, be uploaded, in full, to YouTube.
Until then, they’ll remain lost and refound media.

“Did You Fall Down And Smack Your Little Head On The Pavement?”: A Spotlight On Meryl Streep
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Meryl Streep into the ol’ VCR.
On June 22, 1949, a star was born.
No, I’m not doing a bit.
Okay, I’m kind of doing a bit, but work with me.
On June 22, 1949, a star was born.
Not just any star, but one Mary Louise Streep.
Or, as you may know her better, Meryl Streep.
(See what I did there?)
Meryl Streep came up through the Vassar College theater program, where she would receive her Bachelor of Arts in Drama, and then went on to the Yale School of Drama, where she received her Master of Fine Arts degree.
Meryl transitioned from the theater to the big screen in 1977, with her first feature film role in Julia.
And since then, she’s brought a multitude of characters, both factual and fictional, to life (or back to life, as it were).
As with most of the actors and directors we spotlight, you don’t need me to tell you how good of an actor THE Meryl Streep is, for crying out loud.
She’s played everyone from Julia Child to Miranda Priestly and still had time to sing “The Winner Takes It All” in one gd take.
ONE. TAKE.
I digress.
Meryl, if you ever see this, thank you so much for sharing your immense talent with the world. 🖤
Without further ado, here are some of my favorite pieces of Meryl Streep content:
- She-Devil
- Fantastic Mr. Fox
- Death Becomes Her
- August: Osage County
- The Devil Wears Prada
- Only Murders in the Building
- Mamma Mia! and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

Up All Write: The Origin Of Sleepover Activities
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the anatomy of a sleepover into the ol’ VCR.
First and foremost, I want to give Elliott credit for her excellent idea of tackling sleepover activities. There’s a reason why I asked her to come on this journey with me, and she proves I made the right decision every single day. 🖤
Okay, friends, let’s take it back a few years.
It’s a Saturday night, and you’re hosting a sleepover for 5-6 of your friends.
Sure, at some point during the night, one, if not all, of you will be in tears because of the most low-stakes drama imaginable, but all will be forgiven by the time you finally crawl into your sleeping bags.
I digress.
You have all of your favorite activities planned for the night:
- Charades
- Prank Calls
- Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board
- Truth or Dare
Heck, you’re feeling crazy, so you even grab a gel pen and Lisa Frank notebook to do a MASH.
That’s right, Movie Mavens.
We’re diving into four of our favorite sleepover activities, throwing out some nice horror movie recs for each, and yes, I’ve even created a B Movies-centric MASH game for all of your nostalgic pleasure.
I do want to give a good ol’ disclaimer up top, though:
We won’t be talking about Ouija because a) it wasn’t allowed in my house. In fact, KP once threw a Ouija board out into our front yard when my sister’s friend tried to bring one in. And b) I don’t go near them. Period.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, let’s dissect our favorite sleepover activities
Charades
Charades of today looks very different from charades of yesteryear. There are so many variations now, whereas, back in my day, you had strips of paper and frantic arm movements. Now, kids have all kinds of options and ways to generate topics. But, where did the entire game actually start? Three words: 18th-century France.
The modern form of charades, as we know it, can be traced back to 18th-century France, however, it appears that other variations of the game showed up as early as 16th-century France. Take this with a grain of salt, though, because my sources were varied on the timeline. Moving on.
After seeing a rise in popularity in England, the Brothers Mayhew would publish “official” rules called Acting Charades, or, Deeds not Words. A Christmas game to make a long evening short that you can actually read for free. After that, the game of charades spread like wildfire. Now, you can enjoy screaming and yelling the exact same phrases repeatedly with all of your friends and family at any gathering.
- Pairs nicely with Slumber Party Massacre (2021)
Prank Calls
I’m not happy to say that I’ve made some prank phone calls in my day (I did grow up in the era of *67 after all). The wild thing is, I’m far from the first generation to participate, with some of the first prank calls being recorded in the 30s.
Throughout the years, pranks calls would come into the limelight through various avenues of pop culture including comedy shows, movies, and morning radio shows, with one of the most popular examples being Crank Yankers.
Many a morning radio show host still relies on prank calls as part of their programming, but they just don’t have the same charm as their predecessors.
- Pairs nicely with Scream
Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board
I only played this game once or twice growing up, and I never played it properly; it was usually just a couple of people, making the “magic” a lot more difficult to “conjure.”
Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board has some interesting roots, if I do say so myself. The first actual reference to the game came all the way back in 1665 from Samuel Pepys in a letter to one of his friends. He claims that he came across a group of girls in France who managed to “levitate their friend while reciting a ritualistic poem.”
TL;DR – it probably comes from witchy shit, and I couldn’t feign surprise if I tried.
- Pairs nicely with The Craft
Truth or Dare
For someone who always wanted to play Truth or Dare, I absolutely hated playing it. I would almost always pick truth because teenage girls can be ruthless, and it was always risky on what I would be dared to do. I know that some of y’all HAD to be in the same boat, especially with the game being over 300 years old, much like many of the other games on this list.
The earliest official iteration of the game was recorded to have taken place in 1712, though many people believe it may have started with the ancient Greeks (which would not surprise me because they were lil freaks). Regardless of how it started, one thing has remained the same: someone’s bra always ends up in the freezer.
- Pairs nicely with Would You Rather?

Attack Of The Blog Post: Creature Features That’ll Stomp Their Way Into Your Heart
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping creature features into the ol’ VCR.
Man, oh man, do I love a good ol’ fashioned creature feature, be it mammal, aquatic, or kaiju.
That’s the beauty of the creature feature; they have everything from giant spiders and snakes to killer piranhas and sharks to humanoid horrors.
It’s all-encompassing.
The genre itself was coined all the way back in the 1960s and referred to the horror/sci-fi movies that would play on networks across the country. They also saw popularity (or, cult following, at the very least) with the help of horror hosts.
There’s something so charming about the older creature features, and, without them, a lot of our modern favorites wouldn’t exist.
That’s why I’ve gathered some of my favorites for you today.
I’m sure there are going to be some thoughts about my selections, but I have no ragrets.
Also, bear in mind that it was SUPER HARD to narrow this list down.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, here are 12 creature features that will send you screaming for the hills:
- Jaws
- Crawl
- The Fly (1958 and 1986)
- Tremors
- Predator
- The Thing (1982)
- Shark Night
- Troll Hunter
- Piranha 3D
- Zombeavers
- Godzilla Minus One
- Creature from the Black Lagoon

“My Mom And Dad Are Gonna Be So Mad At Me”: A Spotlight On Matthew Lillard
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Matthew Lillard into the ol’ VCR.
Matthew Lillard is a gem.
And, I can vouch for all of the Good Guy Matthew Lillard stories because, well, I have one of my own.
Back in 2012, I was volunteering at SXSW when someone tapped me on the shoulder.
It was Matthew Lillard.
His movie, Fat Kid Rules the World, was premiering, and he had stepped outside because he was nervous to see audience reactions.
We proceeded to talk for over half an hour, and like all of the stories you’ve heard, he always turned the conversation back to me.
He asked me all about where I grew up, my university, you name it.
He then proceeded to tell me that if no one had ever told me, he was proud of me for getting out of a small town and moving 165 miles away, by myself, to better myself.
I told him all about KP, and he smiled and said, “Well, she sounds like a hell of a woman who raised a hell of a kid.”
One of his friends took a blurry picture of us and another volunteer after the movie ended, but our conversation is what really meant the world to me.
I’ve said this before, but how many people can say that Stu Macher said he was proud of them??
And, that’s why I want to give Matthew Lillard a spotlight piece.
He’s known for being a sweetheart, and, based on my experience, I fully agree.
Matthew Lillard has played so many iconic characters and has reached such a level of fame that he could easily be an unapproachable jerk.
But he’s not, and I think that’s more than worth a spotlight.
There’s not much more I can say about Matthew Lillard that hasn’t already been said.
But, Matthew Lillard, please know that if you ever see this, that little conversation meant the world to me, and ignore the fact that this is the second time I’m telling it in the world of B Moves. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Matthew Lillard content:
- Scream
- Serial Mom
- SLC Punk!
- Scooby-Doo
- She’s All That
- Thir13en Ghosts
- Grave Conversations
- The Boulet Brothers’ Halfway to Halloween TV Special

Horror Recommendations From A-Z
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping horror movie recommendations from A-Z into the ol’ VCR.
This probably won’t come as a surprise, but people often ask me for movie recommendations.
And, as with what happens every time someone asks me about my favorite things, I immediately forget every single movie I’ve ever seen.
That’s why I thought I’d make a little list with some of my horror movie recommendations from A-Z, meaning I’m giving you a horror movie for each letter of the alphabet.
I tried to throw in multiple decades as well as a variety of genres and subgenres.
In short, there should be something for everyone.
Or, at the very least, this should be a good jumping-off point to find another movie to watch.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 26 horror movie recommendations to keep you from mindlessly scrolling through streamers:
B – Barbarian
C – Carnival of Souls (1962 or 1998?)

The Soundtrack Of My Life
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the soundtrack for the movie of my life into the ol’ VCR.
Friends, we’ve talked about 2000s soundtracks.
We’ve talked about concept albums.
I’ve even shared some of my favorite music videos with you.
Now, I want to do something fun.
We all have those moments where we’re walking down the street with our headphones in, and we pretend like we’re the main character in a movie.
Just me? Cool.
Well, it got me thinking about what would actually be on the soundtrack of my life.
That brings us to this piece.
Yes, friends, I’ve chosen 10 songs that would comprise my soundtrack.
Or, at the very least, that I think would.
If someone wants to make a fan art CD cover, I won’t be mad.
I digress.
I tried not to pick songs that I loved, but that I thought applied to my life for one reason or another. But, it’s definitely hard to not be self-indulgent for this one.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are the 10 songs I think would be on the soundtrack of my life:
“No Children” by The Mountain Goats

“Waiting for October” by Polaris
“What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes

It’s All Four You: My Hypothetical Letterboxd Four
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my Letterboxd top 4 into the ol’ VCR.
So, I famously don’t have a Letterboxd.
It’s not because I think I’m above it or anything like that.
I just feel like y’all constantly hear my cinematic opinions, so you don’t need to hear them again.
Also, as we all know, I tend to be long-winded when it comes to talking about pop culture.
However, I’ve had a lot of people ask me to start a Letterboxd over the years.
That’s why I’ve decided to compromise and give you my hypothetical Letterboxd top four.
Believe me when I say that this was one of the HARDEST things I’ve ever had to do.
I know I’ve said that before, but whittling this list down to four movies sincerely took me all day.
But, I’ve finally done it.
As with most of the Letterboxd interviews, I thought I would also give you a little explanation as to why I chose each movie.
Now, I feel like two of these might be obvious, but I think the other two might be a little surprising. Emphasis on a little.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, I present to you, my hypothetical Letterboxd top 4:
Scream (1996)
Scream (1996) brought meta to the mainstream. Sure, movies like Student Bodies and Wacko, to some extent, existed, but none of them did it like Wes, baby. Scream has some comedy, but it’s not a slapstick routine like some of its predecessors. Scream is sexy, smart, and scary. It’s also queer-coded, thanks to Billy and Stu’s relationship.
Without Scream, we wouldn’t have the same level of commentary within the horror community space. Hell, I would even argue that Sidney Prescott created a new version of the final girl. Scream is one of the most influential horror movies of all time, so it’s rightfully earned its spot in my top four.
Halloween (1978)
The reason Halloween (1978) is in my top four is because John Carpenter revolutionized the slow burn. He and Debra Hill crafted one of the most iconic horror villains of all-time on a shoe-string budget, as well as one of the best original scores. Laurie Strode harkened in a new era of final girl, just like Sidney Prescott would almost 20 years later.
We also wouldn’t have the likes of The Strangers without Halloween. Michael Myers was never supposed to be Laurie’s brother—she was just an obsession, aka he did what he did because she was home. Additionally, we wouldn’t have gotten Jason Vorhees without Michael Myers. Finally, Halloween is just one of my favorite movies of all time.
House on Haunted Hill (1959)
The original House on Haunted Hill is incredible. First and foremost, it’s led by Vincent Price, so how can you NOT love it? Secondly, there’s a level of camp that I really appreciate for a 1950s horror movie. The riffing between Frederick (Vincent Price) and Annabelle (Carol Ohmart)? Come on.
HOHH is also a William Castle joint, so there were all sorts of gimmicks in the theater, and we all know I love a good gimmick. Finally, this movie is ahead of its time. They break the fourth wall, give us a good ol’ fashioned twist, and keep it at a tidy 75 minutes.
Promising Young Woman
I feel like this movie might be the most surprising, but I promise it doesn’t have anything to do with Bo Burnham. In my opinion, Promising Young Woman is a damn near perfect movie. The cast is flawless, the ending is *chef’s kiss*, and the soundtrack is next level. Every single time I watch this movie, I love it more. Saltburn was also one of my favorite movies of last year, so I’ll watch anything Emerald Fennell directs (within reason).

“There She Is! The Almost-Birthday Girl!”: A Spotlight On Oz Perkins
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the works of Oz Perkins into the ol’ VCR.
I’m sure that some, if not a lot, of you have seen Longlegs.
And, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I left the theater.
That’s why it should be no surprise that, today, we’re shining the spotlight on Oz Perkins.
For those who don’t know, Osgood “Oz” Perkins is named for his paternal grandfather, who was an actor of both stage and screen.
Additionally, Oz Perkins’s father was the famous Anthony Perkins, who brought Mr. Oedipus himself, Norman Bates, to life throughout the Psycho franchise.
Over the years, Oz has appeared in such iconic movies as Legally Blonde, Dead & Breakfast, and Nope.
I have also confused Oz Perkins with Rich Sommer a million times over the years.
I digress.
Then, in 2015, he released his directorial debut, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, aka February…and it freakin’ ruled (and is basically a personification of Oliva Rodrigo’s “Bad Idea Right?”).
Over the past nine years, he’s also directed I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, Gretel & Hansel, and, most recently, Longlegs, with his film adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Monkey” headed our way next year.
What I love about Oz Perkins is his unique presentation and subversion of the traditional horror subgenres like haunting/haunted house, possession, horror/true crime, etc…
I also love how all of his films, at least thus far, feel as though they belong to the same universe, from Mother’s comments in Gretel & Hansel mirroring a lot of Lily’s narration from I Am The Pretty Thing that Lives in the House to Kat and Longlegs both hailing Satan.
He also includes a lot of strong female characters in his films, and you know I’m always down for that.
As always, there’s not much more I can say about Oz Perkins that hasn’t already been said.
Oz, if you ever see this, from one Perkins to another, I salute you. 🫡
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Oz Perkins content:
- Nope
- Longlegs
- Psycho II
- Legally Blonde
- Queer for Fear
- Dead & Breakfast
- The Blackcoat’s Daughter, aka February
