The Muppathon has reached its international finale! MUPPETS MOST WANTED may be fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but there\u2019s a reason there hasn\u2019t been a Muppet movie in the seven years since it landed in theaters, isn\u2019t there? Listen to Alex & Julio as they wonder what hurt the final Muppet film the most: Ricky Gervais\u2019 reputation or the lack of Jason Segel\u2019s star power? Also, can anyone untangle the contradictory mess that is Muppets Continuity? And why does the franchise suddenly hate Rizzo?
