On this week's podcast, Dylan was joined by queer media scholar Josh Morrison to talk about The Muppets by way of 1981's The Great Muppet Caper.
Here's a look what you can expect to hear:

-awe at the puppetry (Muppetry?) skills on display
-the importance of music in the world of The Muppets
-the bizarre way we treat Muppets like real people in the real world
-The Muppets as social commentary, offering acceptance to the queer and the marginalized
-what is "camp?"
-The Muppets as super-feminist by way of Miss Piggy
-the strange non-romance of Miss Piggy and Kermit
-Josh takes exception to auteur theory
-a brief (but deeply negative) look at the new TV series, The Muppets
