AIN'T IT COOL with Harry Knowles: Episode VIII: John Landis, Caroll Spinney (Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird), MONSTERPALOOZA, And More!!

 


Hey folks, Harry here...  

Well this is the latest episode, probably the most tonally different show of the whole group I'd say.  It's silly and fun - and it tickles me to death.  My favorite shot - the shot I've been dying for - didn't quite get done in time to make the episode...   Dagnabbit...  but I think I'll just tag it on the end of this next week's episode...

The team has been working non-stop on this one and personally I just really love how darn sweet it all feels in the end.   We take y'all to MONSTERPALOOZA, which happened a few weeks back, but while we were there - we had a chance to grab a few words with Caroll Spinney, the man inside of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for the past 42 years.   So naturally I talk about Sesame Street and The Electric Company - and I introduce y'all to my childhood best pal.  My "woody" so to speak.

It's a big nostalgia episode...   but we wrap up with John Landis who reveals something shocking about THE MUPPET MOVIE!!!  I hope you enjoy this one as much as we had making it.  

Here ya go...
