Kermitment - A Muppets Podcast

At this point, Sam and Matt can absolutely tell you how to get to Sesame Street: they've been there 15 damn times! But that is just the nature of this leagally-binding contract they've made to themselves, God, and Telly Monster.  Kermitment has a Patreon!

Episode 2 Playlist This week, we start the experiment that is "the Kermitment" in earnest, as we go back to where it all began: Sam and Friends!  Watch in amazement as Jim Henson spins what is basically a public access puppet show into nation-wide fame in like 2 years! 

Episode 1 Playlist Hello and welcome to Kermitment! Each week, we'll be watching every piece of Muppet media we can find in chronological order!  But for our first episode, we decide to start with what we consider to be the highest heights the Muppets ever reached, 1979's The Muppet Movie. It'll all make sense once you listen! We promise!  Thank you so much for listening to our first episode! We look forward to watching Muppets media until we both die at the same exact time.  If you can't get enough Kermitmnet, follow @KermitmentPod, where we'll tweet fun stuff and interact with our listeners!

We're joined by writer, film editor, co-creator of The Muppets Mayhem Jeff Yorkes to talk about making the show from the inital pitch to its release, the future of the Muppets, and the joy of creating with your friends!  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

We actually watched some stuff this episode! Of course, it's a bunch of newly-surfaced stuff from years we've already covered, so it doesn't actually move us foreward in our Kermitment in any way and in fact prolongs it BUT still. Join us as we celebrate the life of MuppetVision 3D with some cool interviews and footage of the opening day parade, and also we watched some dumb stuff for babies. And Gene Shalit is here too for some reason.  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!

And we brought some of Kermitment's best friends along: Songsmith Tuna Metesh, Classic Guest Nick Jenkins, Podcast Royalty Ceri Riley, and Introducing Aimee Roberts!  It's a pretty big, weird swing but it was lots of fun to put togehter!

Matt had a baby! Sam got married! Only one of those things is the reason that we haven't made an episode in a while. Can you guess which one?  Da Boys are back to tell you how their summers have been, talk too much about babies and Marvel movies, and give you a little taste of what's next and when you can expect it. All recorded live in front of a studio audience sort of! We missed you! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!

Big Bird's going on a trip and you know waht that means: he's going to wear a tie, and he's going to meet God.  THis will be our last normal episode for a bit because MATT HAD A BABY. We're thinking up some special episodes to post while he figures that whole thing out. We'll have updates for you on our social accounts, which you can find below!

We're leaving 1988 behind, but first we have to watch a whole bunch of crap, per usual! It's not all crap, tho, becuase we get to see some amazing mall animatronics and possibly the hottest Miss Piggy's ever been! But then we have to watch a 30 minute Fozzie Bear comedy special and it all goes downhill from there. Wocka wocka, baby Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

Here at Kermitment, we don't mark the changing of the year by the Earth's orbit around the Sun or the seasons or whatever, we mark it in seasons of Sesame Street. So join us as we start the process of putting 1988 to bed by watching selections of Sesame Street's 20th season. And, quite fortuitously, it's a whole season about having a baby, just like a certain host of Kermitment just did...  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

Sam and Matt travel away from their safe podcasting studios to the mean streets of Disney Hollywood Studios to check out Muppet*Vision 3D one last time (maybe?) before it closes later this year. And while they were at it, they checked out the rest of Disney World too!  A very special thanks to our Patreon Patrons who made this trip possible. It was truly special to get to see the show one last time with my podcast life partner! Go to http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!
