Podcasts about The Muppets Take Manhattan

In the fifty-seventh episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes James Gruenberg, Andy Atherton, and Mirandia Berthold to discuss which Muppet Characters deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Kermit the Frog a no-brainer? What about Fozzie Bear? Does Gonzo grab a spot? Does the Swedish Chef or Statler & Waldorf deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Muppet Films/TV Shows will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that the Muppets Take Manhattan shouldn't get a spot? Will A Muppet Family Christmas be included? Is The Muppet Show in the conversation? What about Fraggle Rock or The Muppet Movie?

Violet Eyes by Elizabeth Taylor + James Frawley's The Muppet Movie (1979) + Jim Henson's The Great Muppet Caper (1981) + Frank Oz's The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) with Daniel Savino 4/17/25 S7E26 To hear the complete continuing story of The Perfume Nationalist please subscribe on Patreon. 

Last year, Leonard and Jessie got a rare opportunity to interview Frank Oz at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas before a live audience. His alter egos are world-renowned, but Leonard and Jessie didn't focus on Miss Piggy or Yoda in this conversation. The main topic was directing movies, which Oz has done so well for so many years: The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop of Horrors, In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bowfinger, and What About Bob? are just a few of his credits. What is the through-line, if any, from puppetry to filmmaking. Listen and hear what the amazing Oz has to say.  

"Hey, I tell you what is. Big city, hmm? Live, work, huh? But not city only. Only peoples. Peoples is peoples. No is buildings. Is tomatoes, huh? Is peoples, is dancing, is music, is potatoes. So, peoples is peoples. Okay?" With his dream project THE DARK CRYSTAL taking so much of his time and energy, Jim Henson was content to slim down his role on the next Muppet project and allow his right hand man Frank Oz to take the helm in his first solo directing feature. THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN would be the last Muppet film that Henson would be involved with before his untimely passing a few years later, but the film's legacy would have a lasting impact on his company, especially in the form of the Muppet Babies, who'd get their own Saturday morning cartoon, inspired by a sequence from the film. And let's not forget the media circus that surrounded the wedding of the century! In this episode, we give all the details on how the film came to be, from its concept, multiple script changes, release and beyond! Want to support the show?

"Dennis versus the Movies" continues as we welcome back to the show puppeteer and children's entertainer Zach Woliner to talk about the third Muppets movie, an homage to the Broadway musical films of the 1930s. The Muppets head to Manhattan with stars in their eyes and a dream of Broadway stardom, only to break apart, Kermit to get amnesia, and Miss Piggy to face down a New York full of muggers, cruel bosses, and sexual harrassment. It's a family film. Starring Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Juliana Donald, Lonny Price, Louis Zorich, Dabney Coleman, and Art Carney. Written by Tom Patchett and Jay Tarses. Directed by Frank Oz

[School of Movies 2025] The second and third parts of the original Trilogy of Muppet movies made while Jim Henson was alive, voicing Kermit and taking a heavily active role in production. The former from 1981 is a jewel heist that brings the anarchic furry ones to England, populated by only polite people (a trope which causes the two of us endless amusement) and very much concerns itself with pushing puppetry magic tricks on the big screen to their limits. This one, directed by Jim was in the immense shadow of the original Muppet Movie. The latter, from 1984 brings them back to New York as college graduates who want to put on a big Broadway musical and run up against the gritty realities of real life (along with a cloyingly cute debut for The Muppet Babies. This more grounded take was directed by Frank Oz and for us it is a commissioned show by Dean R.

  His alter egos are world-renowned, but Leonard and Jessie didn't focus on Miss Piggy or Yoda in this conversation, recorded in front of a live audience at Esther's Follies in Austin. The main topic was directing movies, which Oz has done so well for so many years: The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop of Horrors, In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bowfinger, and What About Bob? are just a few of his credits. What is the through-line, if any, from puppetry to filmmaking? Listen and hear what the amazing Oz has to say.

There's nothing quite like the bright lights of the big city - specifically, New York City. As they say, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out the Deluxe New York Virtual Getaway package I picked up was actually for Staten Island, New York and not New York City. Thankfully, our Hilton Star Trek Simulator does allow for movies to be shown in a panoramic setting…and there's one movie in our collection that just so happens to feature a killer's row of stars and the great city of Manhattan in all of it's grimy, sleazy, pre-Giuliani glory. I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we try to make it in the big city are fellow cinephiles and off-Broadway stars Ryan, Mike, and Jackie. Topics of discussion in this episode include Kermit's Don Draper turn; we witness Animal go full spider-mode as he attacks famed character actor Dabney Coleman; and finally, we're shocked to discover that Jim Henson beat Brad Bird to the punch when it comes to rats running a kitchen.

It's a new year and a new season of Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast, and we're taking the show to Broadway with 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan, an honestly kind of bland entry in the Muppets pantheon... turns out you need a pretty strong story to make the Muppets work, and failing that you need a Charles Grodin or a Michael Caine to bring the gravitas. Sadly, like Jason Voorhees, the Muppets just simply aren't up to the task of taking Manhattan. But we love them anyway.

Just in time for turkey day, in which we have a lot to be thankful for, comes this delightful discussion with plenty of fixins. Fresh from their excellent new podcast, A Tripp Through Comedy, two new guests join me but I've been following them ever since we all met during Triviaspotting. Ross Bratin and Tripp Burton join me to talk all about the filmography of Frank Oz, someone each of us love and grew up with - whether as a Muppet or as a director, his achievements and talent are immeasurable.  We start with his very first solo gig as a director, The Muppets Take Manhattan and go all the way up to his last narrative feature, Death at a Funeral. We discover some thematic ties and most importantly, we have lots of laughs due to Oz's incredible skills as a comedic filmmaker. In other words, mostly (but not entirely) a love fest for someone that we hope gets together again to make another film in the future. But if not, we're glad he accomplished so much throughout his career. Thank you so much to Tripp & Ross and to you for listening! 00:00 - 36:29 - Intro / Get To Know Ross + Tripp 36:30 - 01:21:27 - The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop Of Horrors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 01:21:28 - 01:48:47 - What About Bob?, Housesitter, The Indian in the Cupboard 01:48:48 - 02:27:15 - In & Out, Bowfinger, The Score 02:27:16 - 02:56:43 - The Stepford Wives, Death at A Funeral 02:56:44 - 03:07:30 - Top 3 Frank Oz Films / Outro Follow Ross: https://letterboxd.com/rbratin https://twitter.com/rbratin Follow Tripp: https://letterboxd.com/enb3 https://twitter.com/TrippBurton13 A Tripp Through Comedy: https://twitter.com/attcpod Jim Is Here: https://linktr.ee/jimlaczkowski https://5years.substack.com

After the back-to-back productions of Muppet Caper and Dark Crystal, Jim Henson was ready for a break from directing. So when the studio wanted a third Muppet Movie, he turned to his creative partner Frank Oz to take over the … Continue reading →

Craig Miller's career may be a bit hard to categorize, but there's geeky goodness around every corner! He started as a Hollywood publicity and promotion guy, working with a who's who of studios (Lucasfilm, Disney, Universal, Warner Bros, Henson Associates, etc.) and on an amazing array of projects: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Superman II, The Dark Crystal, and The Muppets Take Manhattan, to name but a few. He then went into animation, tackling a number of favorites, like The Smurfs, Transformers: Beast Wars,The Real Ghostbusters, and Curious George. His crowning achievement might be Pocket Dragon Adventures, which ran for 104 episodes and was a finalist for the Humanitas Prize!_____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Dan & Manny invite their longtime friend Steve Herrera back to celebrate 100 episodes of The Nostalgia Test Podcast by putting Cocktail 

You read that title correctly, the second longest WGA strike is officially over! But as that ends, the SAG strike continues, and a SAG strike against the video game publishers looms. Meanwhile, final wrap ups from Tokyo Game Show, The Xbox Activision Deal is finally free to close, Jim Ryan is retiring from PlayStation, and Meta drops details about the Meta Quest 3. In Hollywood, Netflix debuts trailers for a lot of new animation, Amazon is bringing ad's to Prime Video, and Dan Harmon opens up about his working "relationship" with Justin Roiland. To cap off the show we have my favorite 10 80s Family Movies.

In 1979 Kermit The Frog left the pond and headed for Hollywood. On the way he met a bear with a Studebaker, a weirdo with a bent nose, a pretty pig, and a dog that sand the blues, all while being hunted by the sinister owner of a frog legs restaurant chain. This debut Muppet feature filmed was called, appropriately, The Muppet Movie. In 1981 Kermit and Fozzie The Bear played news reporters who also happened to be brothers. Along with their photographer, Gonzo, they headed across the pond where they spoiled the attempted robbery of the Baseball Diamond. This gem, no pun intended, was The Great Muppet Caper. But today on Buzzn The Tower, we're heading to the city that never sleeps, the big apple, the city so nice they named it twice, as we put on makeup and dress up right and chat about a classic, The Muppets Take Manhattan. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Snookums to my Rowlf The Dog, Max Sanders. And with that...

Jon Lovett on Las Cultch?! Likely story! And also literal story. Because it's true... Lovett (the host of the Lovett or Leave It, and Pod Save America podcasts and co-founder of Crooked Media) is finally here on LC - live from Vanessa Hudgens' former home! - to chat with Matt & Bowen about all things CULTURE under the sun. Topics include Succession, Brian Cox's sense of humor or lack thereof, edutainment, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Barney as "hustle culture", gaymer culture and a referendum on the N64 controller, Tony Hawk, Matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas as a voice for women, and "not knowing about music". All this, an insight into Jeremy Strong's process, our smart and dumb areas, whether we should be challenging ourselves to use more expressive and complicated words than "smart" and "dumb", and the usefulness and validity of book blurbs by famous people.

Justin and Christian are back in the original studio this time around, and yes, the chair is still squeaky. They discuss how fun it was to finally introduce their little nephews to Muppets Take Manhattan and see it through their eyes. Then a hardcore Canadian Shortie admits she didn't finish Breaking Bad and it blows Christian's mind. But she makes up for it with a WYR about fighting 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck. Finally, they listen to a voicemail from Tom about his humorous plans for his epitaph and why he'd want music from Fleetwood Mac's Tusk album at his funeral.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Over three previous episodes, we have methodically filled our airport hangar museum with 80s memorabilia that would make the most refined collector jealous. Our fictional museum has such treasures as the boombox from Say Anything, Bill & Ted's phone booth from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, Tim Cappello's saxophone from The Lost Boys, and even the Muppet babies from The Muppets Take Manhattan. With tons of imaginary space still unused, we'll continue to select the items we would want to put in our 80s movie museum. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the curator of my imagination, Max Sanders. And with that, let' s play make-believe!
