@rsmon77 @MatthewTitus88 I’m surprised none of the newer Muppets shows didn’t really lean into that

Interesting news: There’s going to be a Muppet episode of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” at some point (https://youtu.be/6Gx-_r5LGAk?si=zVEbk2bf4GTdroy_)

After the massive success of “The Muppet Christmas Carol” (1992), Jim Henson & Co. decided to do more literary/period pieces. They settled on adapting either Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” or the legend of King Arthur

@analgesicsleep I mean, if anything they’re more suited for the pirate life. #RetroView

@analgesicsleep I’ll just also note we have scheduled for next month on Cult Shelf a movie with Tim Curry and an awesome soundtrack. #RetroView

Tim Curry was a huge fan of The Muppets and actively lobbied for the role. He is on record as saying that this is his favorite role out of his entire career. He did all of his own singing.

@analgesicsleep 5 full weekends in August. That doesn't happen often. #retroview
Just a head’s up: Here’s what’s in store for #SilentFlickerSunday, #MusComEnt, #RetroView and #SatMat in August+I’m hosting #SymSat on August 9th, #ILikeToWatch on August 30 and #BaroqueSun on August 31st
To be honest, being pirates isn’t much of a stretch lifestyle-wise for Doctor Teeth and The Electric Mayhem
#RetroView #MuppetsTreasureIsland
As with all great Muppet films, “Muppets Treasure Island” features a very small human cast comprised mostly of Tim Curry as Long John Silver, a young Kevin Bishop as The Cabin Boy, The Big Yin himself Billy Connolly as Billy Bones and Jennifer Saunders as Mrs. Bluveridge

There was a huge eartquake off the coast of Russia yesterday. An 8.8. I think the strongest I've ever felt in socal is maybe 3 or 4, and that was startling. #retroview

@MatthewTitus88 must be something going around. I didn’t sleep at all last night as well so I’ve been headache-y and such all day. After this I am going to nap hard before Comedon
