An email here from – because it was quite gripey.

Richie –

uh good day to your big bad selves i was chatting amongst my friends non-church members unfortunately but i don't impose my following on others i just suggest it very heavily when we kept well we started playing what is known as the muppet game so you imagine a remake of any movie where the majority of the cast are played by muppets all except for one who can be the original or your own choice the best we came up with was die hard with muppets kermit is john mclean uh

as piggy as his wife fozzie bear as the cop outside gonzo is the journalist who gets punched beaker and dr bunsen as two of the terrorists but keeping alan rickman as the main villain how would the good doctors and opening up suggestions to the public recast the film will mark recast the exorcist or will he give a curveball and recast transformers because it can't actually get any worse

P.S., Richie's a science teacher, and he says on the Project Hail Mary inaccuracies, I can forgive all of them, the centrifuge and so on.

However, the one I can't get over is the fact that a teacher is allowed to leave school without setting cover.

Leadership at their school would literally be saying, yes, yes, you need to breathe the astrophage to save the world, but what are you setting for your year eights?

Anyway, so if we're going to recast films as playing the Muppet game... That's very good.

I've come up with two options.

It was in the script that was sent to you, but anyway, never mind.

Barbie...

I'm going to have a Muppet, Ryan Gosling, Emma Mackey.

Okay.

But I'm going to keep Margot Robbie, obviously.

So she's in there as the star.

But maybe more interestingly, also Margot Robbie, Wuthering Heights.

So I'm going to have a Muppet Margot, a Muppet Jacob Elordi, but I'm going to have a real character, which is Martin Clunes.

So I'm going to keep him and all the others are Muppets.

Okay.

So I don't know if anyone else wants to play the Muppet game.
