5 years in the making, to bring an afternoon conversation, between 5 legendary performers, to Muppet fans around the World. Including perhaps the last public appearance of Jerry Nelson (The Count, Floyd Pepper, Enmit Otter, Gobo Fraggle). Muppet Guys Talking is a viewing experience that allows one to feel as though they are sitting in the room, as Dave, Fran, Bill, Jerry, and Frank share a treasure trove of memories of their years "Below the Stage" with the Genius that was Jim Henson.

I've always appreciated the Muppets as entertainment and art, but more than ever, the Muppet Guys Talking experience makes me appreciate the Muppet performers, characters and essence for life lessons in humanity's struggles and goodness.

That a film about The Muppets would refer so often to Henson's work is a bit of a no brainer, but it also represents a larger point of Muppet Guys Talking, which is creativity is impossible without communication and collaboration.

Rated: A-

Good luck preventing that big, goofy grin from spreading across your face while watching Muppet Guys Talking, a warmly affectionate conversation between five of the talented individuals responsible for many an earliest childhood memory.

Muppet Guys Talking is an incredibly funny and occasionally melancholy documentary, full of reminiscing about the good ol' days, even if those days seem to be getting further and further away from the present.

Muppet Guys Talking stands as a testament to the enduring opposite reaction to the Muppet oeuvre: we're giggling with these creators, not at them, and there's a deep well of gratitude underneath all the laughter.
