A couple of episodes ago, Michael and Rob talked about JJ Abrams' Mission Impossible III and the TV show Lost came up. Michael mentioned an episode of the old Dragonfly Ripple podcast where Annaliese Trammel shared her thoughts on the first two seasons with her dad, Carlin. It was a wonderful bit of podcast history, but it's not easily available anymore, so we're rerunning it. Please enjoy.

Michael is joined by his son and frequent podcasting co-host David May (Dragonfly Ripple, Mystery Movie Night, Thundarr Road, 'Casting Off) to talk about the film that made a star of Macaulay Culkin and signaled the end of John Hughes' reign as the King of Teen. Is Home Alone just slapstick shenanigans or something more?

Day 8: We blur the lines of reality, time, and space and practice peace on Earth and good will to men, women, chickens, bears, and Dizzy Gillespie in the 1979 TV special, “John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together.” On This Episode Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), wooden toy soldier who somehow qualified for foreign combat despite being unable to stay in formation.

Former WWE Superstar and “Muppets Most Wanted” cast member Hornswoggle’s Tattoo Tribute to the Muppets. The Muppet Show Season 4 DVD promised at Disney’s 2009 D23 Expo, but which never came. Miss Piggy brings a sex joke, lest we forget the pilot of the Muppet Show was called “Sex and Violence.” John Denver’s linear notes for the album’s 1996 re-release cite the Muppets as an inspiration for writing “Alfie, the Christmas Tree.” “A Baby Just Like You” is one endpoint of the John Denver Christmas song emotional spectrum. The other endpoint is “Please Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas).” A brief examination of the logistics behind Rowlf’s piano playing. John Denver’s rider absolutely included a scheduled constitutional into the woods. The only inclusion of “I Will Wait for You” sadder than Miss Piggy’s: “Futurama.” Jesus Christ has His own entry on Muppet Wiki.

And they basically saved their post-reading conversation for this installment of the podcast. Toomey, my podcast player!
