Well happy Monday, friends! That’s right - we’re not lazy producers, we’re just lazy communicators. For Season 4, we’ve moved to Mondays! And what better way to really kick off a new year than by diving into yet another Muppet classic - The Great Muppet Caper! Come for Josh’s recovered childhood memories, stay for the enumerations of Gonzo’s Freakiness and a somewhat Freudian analysis of Animal. Enjoy!
