#21: Aspiring To Be Passable

Seriously, A.V. Club, why do you hate everything so much? Actually, we don't. But Steven Hyden's review of Evanescence brought up something that's come up a few times over the years: Why review something you know you're going to hate? We give you the what for in the first segment. You know what no one should hate? The Muppets. The highly anticipated new Muppets movie has us picking out some of our favorite songs from their songography—and getting in a debate about the merits of The Muppet Movie vs. The Great Muppet Caper. After that, we check out some of the cheap, made-for-TV holiday films coming to the background of an awkward family gathering near you. We close out with Extracurricular Activities and a shocking revelation: Tasha Robinson has never seen an episode of Law & Order.
