Episode 74 - The Muppets Take Manhattan with Tough Pigs!

March 14, 2017

For today's episode, in our ongoing series of reviewing every film in the Star Trek and Muppets film franchises, we review The Muppets Take Manhattan! To help us take on this monumental task we have Ryan Roe and Joe Hennes, co-owners of ToughPigs.com; the website for Muppet fans who grew up! These two are huge experts in everything Muppets, and you can find more about them and their site, and every thing Muppets, at ToughPigs.com, or follow them on Facebook. In both places you'll find posts daily of Muppet news, tidbits of trivia, and even exclusive interviews with the cast and crew of different Muppet productions! Be sure to check them out.

Our extensive review of the film took up most of our episode, so there is no Nerdy News or Radical Recommends this time, but we do have some listener mail and we couldn't resist reviewing the new trailer for Alien Covenant.
