Listen to Alex & Julio as they discuss THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN - also known as \u201cthat 90-minute commercial for the Muppet Babies TV show\u201d. Manipulative Broadway tunes! Outdated celebrity cameos! A disappointing embrace of marriage as an institution! It\u2019s everything a Muppet fan inexplicably wants!
