On the heals of the news the The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is going to be a series on the CW, we put our own spin on the comic. We dream about what characters from lore we want to see come to life. We also reimagine the Banana Splits as an Adult Swim show. Distractions include Alex Mack vs. Allen Strange, Church's Chicken, the MCU Fantastic 4, and Josie and the Pussycats. Unfortunately, Sean Connery will not be part of the reboot. 

He was the lead role of the Nickelodeon hit, The Journey of Allen Strange, and now Arjay Smith is all grown up and telling his story.

Actor Arjay Smith-Going from a “child actor” to an “adult actor” can be a circus ride…but luckily things worked out for actor Arjay Smith. The Southern California native began his professional acting career some 28 years ago. In 1997, he garnered the lead role in Nickelodeon's "The Journey of Allen Strange", and in 2000 recurred as Cadet Finley on FOX's "Malcolm in the Middle". Directly following his high-school graduation, Arjay landed his first feature film co-star role alongside Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum in the blockbuster hit "The Day After Tomorrow". In 2012, Smith began a three-season run as a series regular on TNT's "Perception" starring Eric McCormack, Rachel Leigh Cook, Kelly Rowan and LeVar Burton. After the series run, Arjay would go on to play recurring characters on TNT's "Major Crimes", FX's "Sons of Anarchy" and TBS' “The Guest Book”. Currently, he recurs as James Murray on ABC's “The Rookie”.

He was more successful in commercials than TV or movies, doing pretty near 1000 of them, many as a spokesman for AT&T, Pepsi, Bud Light, Ford Mercury and played, for 20+ years, the character Jack in the Box. Dinosaurs was easily his career favorite.

Brooke began his relationship with The Jim Henson Company in 1988 as a graduate of the film school at Manchester Polytechnic. His first project was Jim Henson's The Storyteller as a sculptor of the series' various fantasy and folklore characters. When the Company began production in Los Angeles on Dinosaurs in 1991, Brooke relocated to the United States as a sculptor and designer on the technically ambitious comedy starring an entire cast of animatronic full-body dinosaurs.

On this episode, The Barretta Brothers celebrate the TV show Dinosaurs and welcome the people behind the Unisaurus and Hand Puppet Characters.   Episode Outline: 07:200mins: Conversation with Julianne Buescher, Michelan Sisti, John Kennedy, Rickey Boyd, and Jake Tate   33:30mins: Conversation with Julianne Buescher, Michelan Sisti, John Kennedy, Rickey Boyd, Jake Tate, Bruce Lanoli, Pons Maar, and Terri Hardin   35:50mins: Conversation with Allan Trautman, Terri Hardin, Bruce Lanoil, Tom Fisher, and Pons Maar.   ABOUT OUR GUESTS: Allan Trautman Allan Trautman was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Miami Beach with his family at the beginning of 9th grade. He began acting in Miami Beach Senior High under the direction of famed drama teacher Jay Jensen. He spent four years in St. Louis at Washington University, earning a BA in Physics and Drama. He then earned an MFA in Acting from the California Institute of the Arts, where he met his wife, Diane. While in St. Louis, he began his puppetry career working on The Letter People at public TV station KETC. He performed in all 60 15-minute episodes, each one shot on a Friday (he skipped classes). Two years after graduating from CalArts, while working full-time at Leo's Stereo in the San Fernando Valley, a friend told him about an audition notice for a “puppet school” sponsored by Sid and Marty Krofft. Allan spent the summer of 1980 at what were a series of workshops under the direction of Tony Urbano. There he met other young puppeteers who all became lifelong friends—Bruce Lanoil, Kevin Carlson, Tim Blaney, and others. Much of the 1980s were spent working on projects for the Kroffts and for Dave Pavelonis and his Peppercorn Productions, as well as pursuing his acting career. During this time he was sent on an audition for Return of the Living Dead, and was cast as the Tarman, who went on to become an iconic zombie film character—among the first to ask specifically for “Brains!” In 1990, as part of the then-pending purchase of The Muppets by the Walt Disney Company, Jim Henson came to Los Angeles to direct Muppetvision 3-D, an attraction for Disney's theme parks. Again, a friend was able to get Allan into the audition, and this was the beginning of Allan's career with The Jim Henson Company and the Muppets. In 1991 Allan joined the cast of the ABC-TV series Dinosaurs as the animatronic puppeteer for Fran Sinclair. That show remained in production for 65 episodes, until the end of 1993, introducing Allan to sophisticated animatronics. This experience continued with movies like Babe, Men in Black, Doctor Dolittle, Jack Frost, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Monkeybone, Cats and Dogs, Men in Black II, and The Country Bears. After Dinosaurs, two producers on that show requested his presence on their next show, Unhappily Ever After, a sitcom on the brand-new WB Network. Allan puppeteered Mr. Floppy, the lead character's wise-cracking (imaginary) talking bunny, voiced in front of a live audience by Bobcat Goldthwaite. In the meantime, Allan's work with The Muppets included videos such as It's Not Easy Being Green and Muppet Classic Theatre, the movie Muppets from Space, and, for TV, Muppets Tonight, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. In the summer of 2005, Allan became a founding member of Puppet Up!—Uncensored, Henson Alternative's puppet/improv show. He performed in the show off-Broadway, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, on tour throughout the U.S., and on the historic Chaplin Stage on The Jim Henson Company lot. He also acted as puppetry technique instructor. He was one of three on-set puppeteers during production of The Jungle Book (2016), and was a core puppeteer on The Happytime Murders. Allan continues to work in physical as well as digital puppetry, in shows such as Splash and Bubbles for PBS Kids, and has moved into directing for that show and others.

Dinosaurs was easily his career favorite. Michelan Sisti Michelan began his performing journey as a musician, then an actor with multiple Broadway roles, which directly led to him becoming a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in the original live action movies (Michelangelo).  Being Mikey, evolved into our ultimate animatronics show, “Dinosaurs”.  The coolest suit show EVER!  Since then, Mich has enjoyed 26 more years of Muppets and other neat things with puppets and motion capture.  He has loved every minute of the trip. Rickey Boyd Rickey's interest in animation and puppetry began at an early age. At eleven, he and one of his friends produced their own crude TV puppet shows at a local cable access station and experimented with 8mm animated short films. During High School he continued designing and building his own puppet characters. Later, he attended Shorter College in Rome, Georgia where he majored in art and theater. During an internship at a local cable station he worked with college classmates Keith Thomas and Jeff Brown to produce two children's shows that featured his creations. This provided valuable monitor experience as well as enough footage for a demo reel. That reel would land him an audition with the Muppets. In 1988 he was interviewed by Jane Henson then met and auditioned for Jim Henson himself. He was asked to continue working with Jim Henson Productions as both an assistant and as a featured performer on various productions. He went on to performed various background characters on Sesame Street, The Abby in Wonderland special, Grandma Cookie Monster for Sesame Workshop's “Sesame Beginnings” project, Scooter and Crazy Harry in “Muppet's Wizard of Oz”, and Waffle in “Animal Jam”. Other projects include “Muppets From Space”, “Dinosaurs” the series, “Muppetvision 3D”, “Muppets at Disney World”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, The Jim Henson Hour's “Dog City” and “Song of the Cloud Forest”. Aside from  Henson Productions, Rickey has performed lead characters for The Nashville Network's Peppercorn Productions. Most recently he continues to puppeteer as Doug the Slug in “The Slugs and Bugs Show” for RightNow Media, and as “George” in the web series “Wondermore” for In Touch Ministries. In addition to performing Rickey is an Emmy winning Creative Director for Magnetic Dreams Animation Studios in Nashville, Tn. There, he designs and directs animations for clients such as “Sesame Street”, among others. He lives outside Nashville with his wife Judy and their children Emily and Andrew. John E. Kennedy John E.

On the ninetieth episode of Big Orange Couch: The 90s Nickelodeon Podcast, Andrew, Joey and Kevin discuss The Journey of Allen Strange Christmas special, "Starwalk." Also, that moment in history (December 1997), bios, trivia, ratings, stray observations and Are You Afraid to Name the Episode. Plus, we discuss the passing of SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg, Kevin's dad's Christmas hat and so much more.  

Stephen Ruppenthal has a sneakily amazing history. Having worked with Allen Strange, watched Don Buchla develop his early machines, and working with electro-acoustic wizard across the world, Stephen has been involved with many of the greats of modern electronics, including being a member of the Electric Weasel Ensemble with Strange, Buchla and others. But Ruppenthal is more than a synth-jockey; he is also an accomplished brass player, and his new album (Flamethrower, available on Ravello Records) features his electronic, studio and amazing horn playing in equal parts. Featuring work by Strange, Elainie Lillios, Brian Belet and others, this release is the kind of Electro-acoustic work that will draw in the most sophisticated of sound designers, too. Stephen and I had a great discussion, ranging from his interests in Sound Poetry, to his work with the early greats of electronic music, to his scoring techniques and recent work with Lillios, Belet and others. I learned a lot from my discussion with Stephen, and I hope you enjoy it as well. You can also check out more of his work on his Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/srupp-1 Enjoy!
