Muppeturgy: A "The Muppet Show" Rewatch Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Glenda Jackson Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

Ahoy there! Yo ho ho! Shiver me timbers! Uh…pieces of eight! It’s a pirate-themed episode, 15 years before Muppet Treasure Island, starring another British legend, Glenda Jackson! And our own very special guest star, Movin’ Right Along’s Anthony Strand! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/glenda-jackson

Brooke Shields Jan 16, 2025

Show notes

We go down several rabbit holes as we discuss the Brooke Shields and the Muppets’ production of Alice in Wonderland. But then, we do that every episode! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/brooke-shields

James Coburn Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

Stories matter…which is why we’re a little confused that The Muppet Show is telling this one. But we’re here to talk about the good (Animal trying to meditate, percussive octopodes), the bad (overly sexualized birds), and the ugly (welcome back, overt racism!). (James Coburn wasn’t in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly but you try making an In Like Flint reference about this episode.) https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/james-coburn

Shirley Bassey Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

We’ve got our goldfingers (WAH WAH WAH WAH WAAAAAHHH) all over the Shirley Bassey episode this week, with very special guest star David Beukema! Does the Barnyard Boogie turn into gold, or cottage cheese? What are the physics of these Koozebanians? Does it really rain pennies from heaven? How DO they make gold bars? And where do you buy your cheese? All this and more awaits you in the vault! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/shirley-bassey

Joan Baez Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

Will the circle be unbroken on the Joan Baez episode, or will we sing an honest lullaby about accents and other questionable choices? You’ll be smarter than the critters if you listen and find out! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/joan-baez

Loretta Swit Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

If you watched MASH alda time like we did as kids, you’ll love the Loretta Swit episode! It made the earth move under our feet even though we were side by side (by side) and there ain’t nobody here but us chickens when Kermit tried to fire Piggy. And what would we do without our guest star and fantastic Miss Piggy expert, Peter Savieri? https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/loreta-swit

Gene Kelly Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

Leave it to us to drop an episode about the end of the world 2 days after Election Day. But don't worry! When the seven of lumps is in the ascendency with the beginning of the drowning refrigerator, it means Muppeturgy is back for season 5! We're not here to talk about politics (well, Ronald Reagan may catch some strays but it wouldn't be the first time), we're here to talk about Gene Kelly's butt! And the rest of him! Don't let us vamp for too long, let's get to singing in that cool clear rain water. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/gene-kelly

Diana Ross Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

When Diana Ross smiles at us, we go to Rio! We’re holding up little cards to rate this episode — and the whole season — this week. Did season 4 give us a love hangover, or leave us deep in our (whoa whoa whoa) feelings? We’re taking a post-season break so this will be the last time we saw him for a while.

Alan Arkin Jul 05, 2024

Show notes

We learned a lot about Alan Arkin — and ourselves — this week, as very special guest star Chris Feil joined us to talk Jekyll & Hyde, potentially racist bunnies, devils going down to Georgia and letting people go, and Fozzie’s relationship to rhythm. Plus rearranging fat jokes on the Titanic. You’re no good if you don’t listen. (CW: Discussion of racist tropes such as minstrelsy.) https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/alan-arkin

Andy Williams Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Where do we begin? Ideally not here but it’s what we’ve got. This is a weird one, where Andy Williams’ face is waxier than the Muppet cheese and his joke delivery is cheesier than…also the Muppet cheese. It’s also our second week in a row with a Cronenbergian nightmare. But there’s also a puppy, and Frank Oz and Jim Henson remain very good at their jobs. Join us for this love story, won’t you? https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/andy-williams
