Muppet Guys Talking is a documentary film directed by Frank Oz, that premiered at the 2017 SXSW festival before being released on an exclusive website a year later. It depicts a conversation recorded between himself and fellow Muppeteers Bill Barretta, Jerry Nelson, Fran Brill and Dave Goelz. The final, 65-minute film released to the website was whittled down from a nine-hour conversation.[1]

However, around the time the film was released, some extra clips were released, but not to the general public. These included outtakes from the conversation, behind the scenes footage, and moments with the cast. They were initially available exclusively to those who signed up for the $97 "Below Stage Pass" option, which was available for exactly one week after the movie's online release. A DVD was also released around this same time, and made available for that same timeframe, and also exclusively to VIP members, containing the movie itself and all but two of the extra clips (those two being "Extras! The Great Muppet Caper" and "Jerry Nelson solves a mystery about all the Muppet guitarists").[2]

The mere existence of Muppet Guys Talking is significant since it was one of the final appearances of Muppeteer Jerry Nelson, who died in 2012, shortly after the footage was shot. (The film is dedicated to him.) Unfortunately, since the movie's release, none of the extra clips were made available outside of those two options and they have never circulated online.
