Lee, Leah, and special guest host Gary Hill set sail for high adventure as they talk about the Brian Henson-directed "Muppet Treasure Island" (1996), starring Tim Curry. Is it a good adaptation of the source material, or is it just an excuse for silly Muppet hijinks? Does it even matter? How does this, the second post-Jim Henson Muppet production differ from past projects? The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. Now go clean up the poop deck while giving us a listen, you scabby sea dogs!
