Woka Woka, A Darker Muppet Movie In the Works?
Let’s be honest, when you’re drunk, Muppets From Space is a cinematic masterpiece. It makes you get very philosophical. ”Do Muppets know they aren’t real?

Movies That You Wish Were “April Fools” Jokes
One of my favorite things about going to the movies is seeing the Coming Attractions beforehand. I don’t really know why, but I always feel ripped off if I get in late and miss a preview. Along those lines, I think many of us have been sitting in said theaters, and have come [...]
