A podcast looking back at comedies on key anniversaries to ask: what was innovative material then, what continues to be successful now, and what have people thought about it along the way?

  1. Farced Perspective, 10 March 1972: What's Up, Doc?

    2025. 11. 30.

    Farced Perspective, 10 March 1972: What's Up, Doc?

    Anna and Ben sit down to visit the third most successful film of 1972, the slapstick comedy "What's Up, Doc?" They discuss how the film compares to its obvious antecedents and whether Streisand's character is more manipulative and callous than either Hepburn in "Bringing Up Baby" or any of Groucho's schemers, and whether Bugs Bunny's life has to be endangered to justify his actions. Of course you know that this means war...

  2. Farced Perspective, 9 June 1971: They Might Be Giants

    Farced Perspective, 9 June 1971: They Might Be Giants

    Anna and Ben lie back on the psychiatrist's couch and delve deep into the challenges facing the "classic paranoid" behavior of a man who believes he's Sherlock Holmes and the woman who violates professional ethics for him. They also discuss how cavalier language about sensitive topics can be hurtful, and how they probably aren't equipped to do no harm, but at least they have trivia questions about candy!

  3. Henson Perspective: Guest-starring James Coco

    Henson Perspective: Guest-starring James Coco

    Pete corrects Ben's assumptions that James Coco was a sketch comedian and that most sketch comedians are indistinguishable, balding brunets. They weigh whether the episode is constructed of re-used bits or just joyfully chaotic, and are interrupted by what might be sirens announcing The Rapture. But considering this whole episode has been replaced with an extended stream of silence, you won't hear any of that. How rude.

    Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Jean Stapleton

    Ben and Pete squabble over this episode, which Ben thinks might be one of the best introductions to the Muppet Show, while Pete finds the vibe — and millennials are all about vibes — lacklustre. But they can find common ground in their problems with Kermit, who Ben thinks is undercutting his own show, while Pete is astonished that he somehow doesn't understand the jokes he's hosting on his stage.

    Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Roy Clark

    Pete and Ben add two new items to track over the course of Pete's statistical analysis of this new season, and keep a look out for them during Roy Clark's visit to the Muppet Theatre. They also examine if there's a reason why only Frank and Jim seem to be present during the episode's backstage sequences and why the trumpeter in the Muppet pit band seems to be replaced on every possible occasion.

  6. Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Helen Reddy

    2024. 07. 06.

    Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Helen Reddy

    Ben and Pete return, somewhat belatedly, to examining the 45th anniversary of the original TV broadcasts of The Muppet Show, and they examine Helen Reddy's accent, Doctor Bob's lasciviousness, and just how busy the Muppet studios were in 1978. With new characters, newly credited actors, and new Lego minifigs to vie for, why does the show seem weirdly negative, and will it continue? Speculate wildly!

  7. Farced Perspective, 26 May 1971: Support Your Local Gunfighter

    2024. 06. 30.

    Farced Perspective, 26 May 1971: Support Your Local Gunfighter

    Anna and Ben visit one of Anna's favorite genres — the comedy Western — and arrive at very different responses to James Garner's non-sequel sequel to 1969's "Support Your Local Sheriff". So much so that they instead end up talking about the 1994 film "Maverick", the fairness of quiz shows, and Ben's obsession with "Charade".

  8. Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Cloris Leachman

    2024. 06. 21.

    Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Cloris Leachman

    Pete and Ben wrap up their coverage of the Muppets' second season with a look at the celebrated career of Cloris Leachman. They also sum up the cumulative statistics from the entire season, and Pete's rankings of the guests generates disbelief on the part of both hosts.
