Kermitment - A Muppets Podcast

Another Jim Henson Hour ep, another Tough Pigs' co-owner! This week we're joined by Ryan Roe to talk about what might just be an actually good epiosde of this weird-ass show!

Kermitment enters 2026 the same way it entered 2024: By having Tough Pigs' own Joe Hennes on to talk about a particularly misguided Henson project where a ragtag team of Muppets pretend to run a TV station!

We've been yapping at you about frogs, Fraggles, and sexy-ass pigs for 200 episodes! Can you believe it?! This week, we talk about one of our favorite topics: ourselves! Plus, we watched I Am Big Bird so we'd at least have the veneer of talking about something Muppet-y.  Thank you all so much for listening! We can't wait to dive into the next 200 episodes of this madness! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!

This week, we watch a show about a puppeteer to whom the weight of success has exacted a mighty toll, leaving him toiling in solitude trying to attain perfection that will always elude him. That's right, it's the Jim Henson Hour! And this week's epiosde is the TV movie Monster Maker, about some British kid with an evil dad or something, I wasn't paying attention. We're also joined in conversation by screenwriter David Misch, who worked directly with Jim Henson and Frank Oz on an eclectic series of projects including Muppets Take Manhatten and Inner Tube! <...

This week: Jim & Frank, Matt & Sam: the two most famous duos in Muppet History in one place as we check out a Q&A held during the 1989 Puppeteers of America convention!

This week, we're watching the first episode of The Jim Henson Hour, which was also the fifth episode and sort of also the last episode.

This week we're joined by Tough Pigs writer, podcast host, and Sesame Street expert Becca Petunia to talk about more of Sesame Street anniversary specials.

We actually watched some stuff this episode! Of course, it's a bunch of newly-surfaced stuff from years we've already covered, so it doesn't actually move us foreward in our Kermitment in any way and in fact prolongs it BUT still. Join us as we celebrate the life of MuppetVision 3D with some cool interviews and footage of the opening day parade, and also we watched some dumb stuff for babies. And Gene Shalit is here too for some reason.  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon! Running a p...

Matt had a baby! Sam got married! Only one of those things is the reason that we haven't made an episode in a while. Can you guess which one?  Da Boys are back to tell you how their summers have been, talk too much about babies and Marvel movies, and give you a little taste of what's next and when you can expect it. All recorded live in front of a studio audience sort of! We missed you! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon! Running a...

Big Bird's going on a trip and you know waht that means: he's going to wear a tie, and he's going to meet God.  THis will be our last normal episode for a bit because MATT HAD A BABY.
