It\u2019s some real Gonzo journalism this week as we discuss the 1981 musical heist flick and vaguely newspaper-related comedy The Great Muppet Caper. Tara and Jacob talk about why it\u2019s so disturbing to see the muppets\u2019 legs, our love of old-timey musicals, and the astounding talents of Charles Grodin and Dame Diana Rigg. Plus, what would the muppets be up to today if they were still alive?
