Episode 142 - Jim Henson: Idea Man (2024)

You might think two Muppet Babies episodes in a row is a bad thing, but look at it this way: it's character building. If you can suffer through this show, you can do anything. ANd you don't even have to watch it OR edit hours long episodes about it!  Episodes covered: Fozzie's Family Tree, The Daily Muppet, Scooter's Uncommon Cold Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

The boys find themselves violently ripped out of 1986 in order to discuss the new Disney+ documentary Jim Henson: Idea Man. Are there surprises in store, or have Sam and Matt learned everything there is to know about Jim and more in the process of recording 141 episodes of Kermitment? Either way, sometimes it's just nice to take a step back and look how far we've all come! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!

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?
