"Remember, if you experience any unpleasantness, please let me know. I would hate to miss it."

We'll discuss the messages about finding a family, Stephen's irrational hatred of Pepe the King Prawn, and we get a special movie review from Andrew's son!

"The Great Conjunction is the end of the world! Or the beginning..."
This week, Brett is out attempting to piece back together a shattered crystal, so Stephen is kicking off the Most Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational, Muppetational Jim Henson Month with a chaotic BANG as he's joined by the hosts of the High on Cartoons podcast, Hope Lichtner and Bex Stough! Together, they talk about the origins of this film, the disastrous San Francisco test screening, whether or not there were actually sequel plans in place, and - of course - THE PUPPETS! (And, because Hope is here, we get into Dune, The Matrix, and Ghostbusters as well.)
