“Pick a movie. Keep one actor. The rest are played by Muppets.”

This viral tweet has been making the rounds since 2019, always inspiring passionate debate amongst film-lovers and Muppet fans alike. But has anyone noticed it's always the same movies being discussed? As much as we all love thinking about “Knives Out with Daniel Craig investigating Muppets” or “John Wick where Keanu Reeves kills Muppets,” they’ve been done to death. Can’t we come up with some fresh takes?

Join host Jackson Benight as he dares to be different and recasts some of your, less frequently suggested, favorites.
