The Muppets Take Manhattan

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and significance of 'The Muppets Take Manhattan' within the Muppets film trilogy.

(Spoiler Section Length - 6min 6sec) The final film in the original Muppets trilogy is one that is frustratingly difficult to find, compared to the two before it. It's not available on the same streaming services as the other two! It's in fact had weird distribution rights for a long time, and that combined with the lack of a digital soundtrack and a more grounded tone than the others has made it one of the least talked about of the Muppets films. But should it be talked about? Or does it deserve to fade into history? Let's find out!
