Episode 41: Tales of the Muppet Diaspora

The Brattle Film Podcast - A podcast by The Brattle Theater, Ian Brownell, Ivy Moylan, Ned Hinkle, Alissa Darsa

We spend the first 20 min of this month's show discussing the Scarlett Johansson vs. Disney lawsuit and its potential ramifications on film exhibition, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the future of movie stars playing fictional characters with pre-existing fanbases. Then we dive deep into a topic Ian, Ivy, Ned and Alissa all agree on—the love of Jim Henson and films he produced, directed, and contributed to; as well as how the craft of cinematic puppetry has lived on long beyond Henson's death.
