Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
Steve Swanson: Now the Dark Crystal is all those things you said, and right now you're interested in being artsy and all that and I get that, college is great, however the question I have is, is this movie entertaining? And I propose to you no, it is not entertaining. Is it interesting? Yes. Is...
The street story was very good. Grover and Cookie got some funny lines, the song at the end of the street story was cool. Can't really say anything else since the rest was repeated sketches.
After discussing the fact that Dark Crystal is getting a Netflix series.
Steve Swanson: Do you like Dark Crystal?
JD Hansel: Yes.
Steve: Oh, okay. I do not.
JD: I consider it to be one of my favorite movies.
Steve: You... wow! Really? I learned something about JD today. I didn't watch it as a...
I will certainly get the new Disney streaming service just to see this! Let's hope they have Jim Lewis or Kirk Thatcher be a part of the writing team. Even if this show isn't a continuation of the ABC series, they could still keep some of the things from that show. After all in the Hollywood...
JD Hansel: In some ways, we can be thankful for when Jim made Dark Crystal, because around the time that was coming out, you had stuff like Great Muppet Caper coming out or Muppets Go to the Movies. So you had a lot of good Muppet stuff coming out around the same time, and you knew there was...
It was Eric. The best of the street story was the Dragon Dance song. It had some funny moments like Grover acknowledging the musical number. The song with John Legend was good. Although, I wish we got a solo from Zoe. We haven't really heard Jen singing a full verse as Zoe yet. I liked Big Bird...
JD Hansel: I had a rant about the Dark Crystal saying, I have nothing against people who prefer Dark Crystal over Labyrinth, I can appreciate that, but what I wanna know is how? How is it possible to like the Dark Crystal over Labyrinth? I know people do it and that's fine but, I don't get the...
The street story was pretty good. Like Shane and Joseph said, it would have been nice if Zuzu was in it more. I liked Tyler Bunch's performance as one of the penguins. Couldn't tell who the other one was, cause his voice was so similar. Cookie's onion breath showing in the Foodie Truck segment...
I'd say yes. Paul Rudd is pretty funny, there's a running gag of Cookie Monster being desperate for a cookie, there's some good Oscar and Telly comedy, Abby even makes a reference to the Amazing Mumford!
I'd like to share some funny thoughts from Muppet podcasters about this.
Steve Swanson: I love Muppet Babies, and I'm worried that they're gonna take something as cool as the Muppet Babies and turn it into a pre-schoolifed Micky Mouse Clubhouse version of this property.
JD Hansel: Here's what we...
I don't blame you.
Steve Swanson: I am on record for not being a tremendous Dark Crystal fan. I appreciate it for what it is, I think it's a wonderful accomplishment, but it's not something I get into personally. I don't sit and watch the Dark Crystal. It's not my story, that's all.
JD Hansel...
I'm sure Shane will like my next few quotes, cause last year, he watched Dark Crystal and Labyrinth for the first time.
Ryan Roe: I'm not sure how much I'd wanna get into the Dark Crystal.
Ryan Dosier: The movie already puts me to sleep, why would I wanna read an article that would put me to...
The cold open with Marty playing a monster named after him was cool. Gabrielle is cool enough, I'm gonna miss Segi though. Elmo losing his wig and Cookie thinking it was spaghetti was funny. The song at the end of the street story was catchy. This time in Foodie Truck, Cookie didn't wolf down...
Sadly not. I think once they're finished with their Meet the Idiot series, they'll release the first episode. They've already gone through Kip, Frank, Raccoon Mike, Lewis, Pheobe, Caren, Frankie and Dean. All that's left is Egghead, Dinghy, Country Smoulders, and Guterman.
