Muppet Treasure Island (1996) Historical Friction
-
- History
We're still in Pirate Season here, and this week Alice, Helen, Sara, and Abigail discuss Muppet Treasure Island (1996). Technically it's based on the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, but with some significant deviations (including a weirdly racist pig tribe, and musical interludes of varying quality). Join us as we try to convince Sara that the Muppets are good, actually, even if this film is not.
Historical Friction is a podcast about storytelling, pop culture, the past, and why we reenact it.
