66. Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (w/ Philip and Liz Laird)

Philip Laird returns to Tapeheads with his sister Liz in tow to
discuss the 1977 TV holiday special Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band
Christmas, a Jim Henson tale that depicts a cute but dystopian
world in which talented Muppet animals distract themselves from
their extreme economic hardships with a little bit of washtub bass.
Topics of discussion include the Laird siblings’ history with the
tape, the Riverbottom Nightmare Band, and the baffling economic
structure of Frogtown Hollow, which may in fact be a
post-apocalyptic wasteland populated by mutant creatures.
