It's Summer Vacation and we're taking 2 weeks off to recharge. In the meantime, enjoy these rewind episodes reviewing a couple of our favorite films that just happen to be turning 40 this year! Enjoy this classic MTMUG episode originally released April 15, 2022.  "Turn Back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late." We watched Labyrinth (1986) with our good-Judy Jared Anderson and we wish the Goblin King would come and take you away… right now. Sixteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelley) faces off against Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie) and a generation's sexual awakening began. Bowie is giving androgynous ren-faire realness and Connelley is giving ethereal drama-kid/teen model. And you can trust and believe we get into that cod-piece. Is it icky that the Goblin King is so actively seducing this young girl?  A little, but it's all fantasy and (spoiler alert) Sarah finds her way back to her kick ass bedroom in her dad and stepmoms sweet Victorian house in Portland.  The puppet work by Jim Henson's Creature Shop will transport you to another world, the costumes will make you want to head over to Party City right now, and the MUSIC! Don't get us started on the soundtrack by David Bowie.  It's FIRE.  Grab a cold mug of mead, break out your tights and lets get theatrical!  Say it with us… "You have no power over me!"   Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna Cover Art by Shaun Piela 

AJ, Mike, and Chris travel back to the golden age of the dinosaurs. That is, the animatronic ones design by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. That's right, we delving into the history and creation of the hit ABC family sitcom Dinosaurs.We explore the show's origins as a feature film idea from Jim Henson himself into a biting satirical sitcom that tackled ideas like warfare, drug use, and corporate greed. The sitcom used groundbreaking technology to create dinosaurs that utilized traditional puppetry and advanced animatronics. With each character requiring at least three performers, this show was a production unlike any in history.00:00 Intro01:23 Why Dinosaurs Rules01:44 1991 Pop Culture Check02:31 Henson Origins and Tech03:33 From Film to Sitcom04:41 After Henson and Disney Deal05:47 Straight to Series Costs06:36 Showrunners and Catchphrases08:12 Satire and Environmental Themes10:34 Designing Dinosaur Everymen12:46 Triple Casting Explained13:08 Main Cast Breakdown21:49 Supporting Cast and Guests26:26 Oil Company Name Easter Eggs26:41 Puppetry Workflow on Set28:25 Waldo and HPCS Controls30:38 Suits Heat and Set Challenges31:25 Reusable Dino Suits33:16 Satire and Hot Topics35:06 Banned Drug Episode36:52 I'm the Baby Song40:19 Disney Parks Appearances42:34 Dark Series Finale46:51 Streaming and Laugh Track48:41 Trivia and Spinoffs50:18 Family Memories and Rewatch55:53 Mailbag and Next Plans59:43 Sign Off and GoodbyeFollow UsBlue Sky | Facebook | Threads | InstagramEmail: 90sDisneyPodcast@gmail.com

This year is the 40th anniversary of Jim Henson's beloved cult classic film Labyrinth, and author Jes Battis is on the podcast to discuss their new book on the film: It's Only Forever: Labyrinth (available April 7, 2026). Starring Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie, and a slew of goblins and goodies from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the film is a storybook fantasy that transcended its original box office failure to become a fan favorite. It's Only Forever is both an analytical and personal text, and Battis discusses the book's reading of the film as a queer narrative released in a time of '80s macho orthodoxy. Hosted and produced by Justin Remer.  Recorded remotely via Zencastr.  If you like podcasts, maybe you enjoy audiobooks too.

This week, your favorite former puppeteers blast off into the strange, slimy, and spectacular universe of Farscape—the cult sci-fi show that boldly asked the question: what if space opera had more puppets… and weirder ones?Created by Rockne S. O'Bannon and brought gloriously to life by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Farscape filled its galaxy with unforgettable alien characters—like the towering warrior "definitely-not-a-Klingon" Ka D'Argo and the delightfully grumpy Dominar puppet Rygel XVI.We dive into how the show fused ambitious science fiction storytelling with jaw-dropping creature work, why Rygel might be the most expensive fart joke in television history, and what it's like to act opposite a co-star who's operated by five puppeteers and a small miracle. Along the way, we celebrate the show's fearless weirdness and the way it pushed puppetry far beyond children's television and into the outer limits of adult sci-fi.It's tentacles, tyrants, and top-tier animatronics—a reminder that sometimes the most alien thing in the galaxy… is sculpted foam latex.Send a textJoin the discussion on our discord! https://discord.gg/JDtWJrhPF6Follow us on twitter @PMoNPodcast and on Instagram and Threads @puppetmastersofnoneFind out more about the puppet masters on our website: https://puppetmastersofnone.wixsite.com/puppetmastersofnoneOriginal Music Composed by Taetro. @Taetro https://www.taetro.com/

James Maury Henson (September 24, 1936 – May 16, 1990) was an American puppeteer, actor, animator, creative producer, and director who achieved worldwide notability as the creator of the Muppets. Henson was also well known for creating Fraggle Rock (1983–1987) and as the director of The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986), as well as creating the puppets for Sesame Street (1969–present).Born in Greenville, Mississippi, and raised in both Leland, Mississippi, and University Park, Maryland, Henson began developing puppets in high school. He created Sam and Friends (1955–1961), a short-form comedy television program on WRC-TV, while he was a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park, in collaboration with fellow student Jane Nebel. Henson and Nebel co-founded Muppets, Inc. – now The Jim Henson Company – in 1958, and married less than a year later in 1959. Henson graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in home economics.In 1969, Henson joined the children's television program Sesame Street (1969–present) where he helped to develop Muppet characters for the series. He and his creative team also appeared on the first season of the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (1975–present). He produced the sketch comedy television series The Muppet Show (1976–1981) during this period. Henson revolutionized the way puppetry is captured and presented in video media, and he won fame for his characters – particularly Kermit the Frog, Rowlf the Dog, and the characters on Sesame Street. During the later years of his life, he founded the Jim Henson Foundation and Jim Henson's Creature Shop. He won the Emmy Award twice for his involvement in The Storyteller (1987–1988) and The Jim Henson Hour (1989).Henson died in New York City from toxic shock syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. At the time of his death, he was in negotiations to sell his company to The Walt Disney Company, but talks fell through after his death. He was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1991, and was named a Disney Legend in 2011.PICTURE: By Gotfryd, Bernard, photographer - https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2020731151/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=121240127

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) was chosen by Patreon supporter Gareth, and it represents a very deliberate shift in tone and approach from the original 1990 film. Following the massive commercial success of the first movie, New Line Cinema moved quickly to produce a sequel that would appeal more directly to younger audiences. This resulted in a noticeably lighter, more comedic production, with strict limitations placed on violence and darker elements after parental groups raised concerns about the original film's intensity. Director Michael Pressman replaced Steve Barron, and the creative mandate was clear: brighter visuals, broader humor, and a more Saturday-morning-cartoon-friendly feel.The production once again relied on Jim Henson's Creature Shop to bring the Turtles to life, though the suits were redesigned to allow for improved mobility and clearer facial expressions. Filming took place primarily in North Carolina, with large soundstage work used to accommodate more elaborate set pieces and controlled environments. The movie also leaned heavily into merchandising synergy, closely aligning its release with toy lines, tie-in products, and promotional partnerships. While critically divisive upon release, The Secret of the Ooze was a significant box-office success and stands as a textbook example of early-90s franchise filmmaking — where commercial considerations, brand management, and audience accessibility increasingly shaped creative decisions.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryHeroes in a half-shell… are back — and this time, things are about to get oozy.The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return with bigger laughs, louder villains, and a mysterious new substance that could change everything.

The increasing prevalence of dementia worldwide has prompted innovative solutions to address the emotional and psychological needs of those affected. Among these, robotic pets have emerged as a groundbreaking aid, offering companionship and comfort to dementia patients. Don Baine explores the development, significance, and impact of robotic pets, particularly focusing on the case of Jenny, a robotic emotional support animal created by Tombot Incorporated.The Need for Emotional Support in Dementia CareDementia, including Alzheimer's disease, affects millions of individuals globally, leading to cognitive decline and a significant loss of independence. As caregivers often face the daunting task of managing the daily lives of these patients, emotional support becomes paramount. Traditional pet ownership can provide companionship, reduce feelings of loneliness, and even improve mental health. However, for many seniors with dementia, owning a live animal is not feasible due to health concerns, financial constraints, or living conditions. This gap in emotional support has led to the exploration of robotic alternatives.The inspiration for Jenny, a fully robotic pet, stems from personal experiences with dementia. In the case of Tombot's founder, the journey began when his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. As he made difficult decisions on her behalf, including taking away her beloved dog for safety reasons, he recognized the profound emotional distress this caused her. This realization sparked the idea to create a robotic companion that could fill the void left by a live pet, addressing the emotional needs of dementia patients without the associated risks of live animal care.Design and DevelopmentThe development of Jenny involved extensive research, including studies with over 700 seniors with dementia to determine their preferences in emotional attachment objects. The findings revealed that seniors favored realism, particularly in familiar forms like puppies and kittens. This insight led to a partnership with the Jim Henson's Creature Shop, renowned for their expertise in creating lifelike animatronics. The collaboration aimed to ensure that the robotic pet not only looked realistic but also exhibited behaviors that resonated with users, enhancing the emotional connection.The Impact of JennyJenny serves multiple functions beyond mere companionship. She can help reduce the need for psychotropic medications by providing emotional comfort and reducing anxiety. The presence of a robotic pet can stimulate interaction, encourage reminiscence, and promote a sense of purpose among dementia patients. By offering a safe and manageable alternative to live animals, these robotic companions can significantly improve the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers.As the technology behind Jenny continues to evolve, so too does their potential impact on dementia care. With clinical studies set to begin and plans for market introduction, the future looks promising for Jenny and her potential future siblings. The ability to monitor health and safety remotely adds another layer of support for caregivers, allowing them to focus on emotional connection rather than logistical challenges.ConclusionThe advent of robotic pets represents a significant advancement in the care and support of dementia patients. By addressing the emotional needs of individuals who can no longer safely own live animals, these innovative companions offer hope and comfort. As seen with Jenny, the combination of personal experience, rigorous research, and artistic collaboration has resulted in a product that not only meets a critical need but also embodies compassion and understanding. The journey of Jenny in dementia care is just beginning, and her potential to transform lives is immense.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Welkom bij aflevering 233 van Nerd Culture die volledig in het teken staat van de Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film uit 1990. Vanwege de Gamekings Guide to Korea trip zullen we de komende drie weken wat uitstapjes maken ten opzichte van de reguliere afleveringen, dus ga er lekker voor zitten en laat je verrassen!Kevin Eastman en Peter Laird zijn de grondleggersIn 1984 ontstonden de Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles uit de geniale en ietwat gestoorde geesten van Kevin Eastman en Peter Laird. Wat begon als een parodie op populaire comics als Daredevil en X-Men, groeide uit tot een wereldwijd fenomeen. Met hun mix van martial arts, mutatie en New Yorkse attitude werden Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo en Raphael iconen van de popcultuur, met strips, speelgoed, tekenfilms en later natuurlijk… films.Jim Henson bracht de Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tot levenDe film uit 1990, geregisseerd door Steve Barron, bracht de Turtles voor het eerst tot leven in live-action, met behulp van baanbrekende kostuums en animatronics van Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Ondanks een beperkt budget en scepsis van Hollywood wist de film een unieke balans te vinden tussen duistere comicbook-serieuze thema's en de humor waar fans van hielden. Het resultaat was een onverwacht megasucces — en tot op de dag van vandaag geldt deze film voor velen als de definitieve Turtles-ervaring.TMNT fanboys kennen geen geneIn deze special laten Koos en Jasper hun innerlijke fanboys volledig de vrije loop. Ze bespreken elke scène in detail, van de epische introductie van Shredder tot de iconische pizza-momenten, en duiken diep in wat de film zo bijzonder maakt. Verwacht nostalgie, inside jokes, nerdy trivia en pure liefde voor vier gemaskerde helden die in de riolen van New York geschiedenis schreven.

All aboard the Cat Bus for a moving conversation about one of the greatest animations of all time – and the emotional madness of trying to bring that tale to the stage in London's West End. If you're in London at the moment, you need to see the current theatrical adaptation of My Neighbour Totoro currently showing in the West End. Produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with puppet designs by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, this magical re-telling of the iconic Studio Ghibli animation was written by our guest today, Tom Morton-Smith – a storyteller whose past work includes Oppenheimer (not the Christopher Nolan movie, but an acclaimed stage drama) and Ravens, a Cold War thriller set at the 1972 World Chess Championship. Taking on Totoro was an undertaking as big and daunting as the titular forest spirit himself. Set in post-war Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's story told the tale of a father and his two daughters who move to the edge of an enchanted forest, to be closer to the hospital where the girls' mother is undergoing medical care. As uncertainty gathers, strange creatures reveal themselves to little Satsuki and Mei – leading them on an adventure of wonder and awe. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Tom details how he translated that wonder and awe to the stage. He's also open about his persoal experience, writing the play amid huge change in his family life. The grief and loss – or potential for loss – that sits in the background of the Totoro story is something Tom was moving through himself as he sat down to pen this adaptation.We break down the tale's themes of environmentalism and the kindness we owe to each other. We also get into the darkness of Ghibli that is often erased or reduced in how the west talks about films like this one. Finally, we talk about “ma” – the Japanese word for “emptiness” – that Miyazaki fills Totoro with, and why it might just be the secret to the joy of this film, now more than ever, in a frantic, digital world.

This week, your favorite retired puppet wranglers stomp into the latex-and-foam wonderland of the 1991 ABC sitcom Dinosaurs—the prehistoric family comedy that was part TGIF hug-fest, part biting social satire, and entirely animatronic absurdity.From Earl Sinclair's mating dance to Baby's wooden spoon, we dig into how Jim Henson's Creature Shop brought the Stone Age to prime time—complete with full-body suits, radio-controlled faces, and enough sweat inside those costumes to fill a tar pit. Along the way, we unearth behind-the-scenes stories, meet the humans inside the dinos, and revisit the finale that traumatized an entire generation of unsuspecting children.It's nostalgia with teeth, puppetry with purpose, and just enough Baby Sinclair to make you flinch.Because even 65 million years later, we're still… not the mama.Join the discussion on our discord! https://discord.gg/JDtWJrhPF6Follow us on twitter @PMoNPodcast and on Instagram and Threads @puppetmastersofnoneFind out more about the puppet masters on our website: https://puppetmastersofnone.wixsite.com/puppetmastersofnoneOriginal Music Composed by Taetro. @Taetro  https://www.taetro.com/Send us a text

Kev and Rob creep through a suspiciously silent science lab to discuss "Shuttle to Kenfori" (SNW), and agree that it wasn't the scariest episode of Star Trek ever. After all, there was "Conspiracy" (TNG) and "Empok Nor" (DS9). To shake off the scares, they take a few minutes to discuss Jim Henson's Creature Shop coming to a starship bridge near you.SNW 3×03 Shuttle to KenforiTNG 1×25 ConspiracyGregory QuinnTNG 1×19 Coming of AgeDexter RemmickTrillSubspace Radio #14: Evil AdmiralsDS9 5×24 Empok NorBorgStar Trek: First ContactVidiianVOY 1×14 FacesElim GarakSeven of NineT'PolOdoSNW 1×09 All Those Who WanderStar Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 SDCC SurpriseSNW 2×09 Subspace Rhapsody(00:00) - Subspace Radio.

Meet Jennie from TomBot: The Robotic Puppy Revolutionizing Dementia Care at CES Show 2025 TomBot Website: tombot.com About the Guest(s): Tom Stevens is the CEO and Co-founder of TomBot Incorporated, a Santa Clarita, California-based company specializing in robotic animals and digital health solutions. With a robust background in high-tech and startups, Tom and his co-founders previously built one of the world's largest litigation automation companies before a successful exit. Tom's current venture was inspired by his personal experience with his mother's Alzheimer's, motivating him to create robotic companions for individuals with dementia and other mental health challenges. Episode Summary: In this riveting episode of The Chris Bos Show, host Chris Vos explores the intersection of technology and healthcare with Tom Stevens, CEO of TomBot Incorporated. Broadcasting from an imagined bunker in Maine, Chris delves into Tom's groundbreaking work in developing "Jennie," a robotic Labrador retriever designed to support seniors suffering from dementia, cognitive impairments, and other mental health challenges. Tom shares personal stories that fueled his passion for bridging the gap in the market with lifelike robotic companions. This episode offers an in-depth look at how TomBot is revolutionizing digital healthcare with their pioneering robotic companion, Jennie. Key topics include the design and functionality of Jennie, the technical expertise from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and the broader impact on emotional health and therapy. Listeners learn about the rigorous research backing TomBot's technology, its capabilities like sensory interaction and autonomous behaviors, and the company's strategic goals at CES to expand market reach and attract investors. This engaging discussion promises to deepen understanding of robotic applications in healthcare and the transformative potential for those struggling with isolation and mental health issues. Key Takeaways: TomBot's Jennie, a robotic Labrador retriever, is engineered to provide companionship to seniors with dementia and other mental health challenges, mimicking lifelike behaviors. Emotional attachments to realistic robotic pets can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and the need for certain medications in seniors. The design of Jennie involved collaboration with Jim Henson's Creature Shop to create robotics that stimulate emotional bonds through visual and behavioral realism. TomBot is leveraging CES 2025 to showcase Jennie's capabilities, building both consumer and business-to-business connections while seeking investment. Senior care facilities could greatly benefit from adopting robotic companions like Jenny to enhance patient care and reduce social isolation. Notable Quotes: "We've teamed up with Jim Henson's Creature Shop to build what we believe to be the world's most realistic robotic animals." "Our first puppy will be an FDA medical device designed to treat the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia." "Humans like to suspend disbelief, and even though we know Jenny is a robot, we still want to engage with her as if she were real." "We're scientifically designed to stimulate emotional attachment through the realism of appearance, texture, and behaviors." "Our goal is to replace emotional support animals and assist those who benefit from companionship but cannot accommodate a real pet."

One of Dave's childhood favorites, despite a fair sledding from mates, is up for scrutiny this week! And with a 16 year old Jennifer Connely heading up against a middle aged pop star, what could possibly go wrong? directed by Jim Henson, was an ambitious blend of puppetry, live-action, and cutting-edge visual effects for its time. The film was a collaboration between Henson and executive producer George Lucas, with a screenplay by Monty Python's Terry Jones. Conceptual artist Brian Froud, known for his work on The Dark Crystal, played a significant role in designing the fantastical creatures and the world of the labyrinth itself. The movie's central character, Jareth the Goblin King, was brought to life by David Bowie, who also contributed original songs to the soundtrack, adding a surreal, musical dimension to the film. With a cast that included young Jennifer Connelly and over 100 puppets, the production involved complex puppetry, animatronics, and special effects to bring the magical world to life. The film was shot primarily at Elstree Studios in the UK, where elaborate sets were built to depict the vast, dreamlike maze. Henson's Creature Shop faced technical challenges, especially with creating characters like Hoggle, a puppet requiring multiple operators to control its facial expressions and movements. Though the film was not a box office success upon release, Labyrinth gained a devoted cult following over the years, praised for its imaginative design, memorable characters, and Bowie's iconic performance. The film's mix of fantasy, music, and pioneering practical effects has since solidified its place as a beloved classic in fantasy cinema.

Along the way, she encounters a host of strange creatures and overcomes various challenges, learning about bravery and friendship. As she gets closer to Jareth's castle, Sarah must confront her own fears and insecurities to rescue Toby and return home. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Halloween season is here! And actor-director-producer Emma Tammi joined us to chat about her upcoming film, Five Nights at Freddy's, based on the popular video game franchise. She told us all about adapting a video game to a movie, working with large animatronic puppets, and creating a horror movie that's aimed at a PG-13 audience. But the scariest part of the movie process, according to Emma? Reading the reviews. . . .Opening Friday, October 27, in theaters and on Peacock, Five Nights at Freddy's is produced by the spooky creatives at Blumhouse with the murderous mascots from Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Everyone feels like they have a book in them. Well, Roya Shariat proved it! The Glossier director of social impact and brand partnerships shared her tips on working a full-time job while pursuing her passion project. Spoiler: There's no such thing as balance. It's more of a trade-off. “It's something I continue to struggle with,” says Roya, “and I'd say I'm not the best at dividing my time. It's using my nights and weekends for that passion project and being a little ruthless sometimes about not going to socialize this month because I've got to work on this book proposal . . . It's just, sometimes, not sleeping and sometimes working seven days a week.” Her cookbook, Maman and Me, is available now in bookstores around the U.S and coming soon to global markets.

I think it's safe to say that many CEOs of big companies have daddy issues, and if Inception has taught us anything, it's that by exploiting those daddy issues, you can get said CEO to give up their company. All we need to do is adapt it for our situation. Get rid of all the dream stuff, add a hyper realistic puppet of Jim Henson, maybe a little bit of Leo Dicaprio in a bear suit to boot, and before you know it we'll be the puppet master CEOs of Jim Henson's Creature Shop! Zach insists the Hardy Boys will lead us to victory, Jared thinks Banksy is Gonzo, and Adam wants to do an Ernie.

We round out our classic 90's TMNT Trilogy episodes with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (aka Turtles in Time in some release formats). This film is mostly panned by fans and critics alike for being a departure from the lore of both the comics and the 1987 animated series. We discuss the replacement of the Henson's Creature Shop costumes, the simplicity of the plot, how the turtles have changed, and what probably would have been a better plot idea for what the studio was working with.Get 20% off + FREE SHIPPING at MANSCAPED using our code 'SUPER'Check out From the MiddleVisit supermediabrospodcast.com for all past, present, and future episodes, and to leave us a voicemail!Leave us a rating/review on Spotify, GoodPods, and Podchaserhttps://www.supermediabrospodcast.com/reviews/new/Subscribe to us on YouTubeSuper Media Bros MerchSuper Media Bros on Social MediaFacebookTwitterInstagramFounding member of OddPods Media

In fact, she is the only first lady that Peachtree Corners has ever had in the 10 years since it became a city. Gov. Brian Kemp and his wife, Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp, and their daughters expressed their sympathies for the Mason family on Thursday as well. “The community theatre scene in metro Atlanta is a true community,” said Brandi Kilgore of Norcross' Lionheart Theatre. “Our theatres are constantly borrowing costumes, set pieces, and props from each other for our respective productions.” It makes sense, then, that Lionheart has offered their stage for a unique “Ten Minute Community Theatre Play Festival” which runs Jan. 13-22. The Festival will be the first production of Lionheart's 2023 season, and it promises to be a fast-paced event that will introduce theatre-goers to new artists from across the Atlanta area. Performances will be on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. All performances are at Lionheart Theatre, located at 10 College Street in Norcross.   The scripts that will be performed come from a group called Merely Writers which is sponsored by Merely Players Presents, a group that gathers to hear works in development read aloud by actors. During this process, writers can hear their own words and get feedback. Lionheart Theatre Company will present “Dead Giveaway” by Daniel Guyton and “Wedding Reception Rewards Program” by Peter Dakutis. Live Arts Theatre is also a Gwinnett nonprofit arts organization. The group will perform “Bump in the Night” by John Mabey and “Speed Dating” by Nedra Roberts. Main Street Theatre hails from Tucker. The group will present “Accusations” by Steven D. Miller and “Pre-Need” by David Davis. Merely Players Presents is located in Doraville. Their two plays are “Roughing It” by Judy Klass and “Broken Hearts” by Karen Ruetz. Onstage Atlanta is located in Scottsdale. The group will perform “The Wedding Night Tweets” by Daniel Guyton. The stage manager for the festival is Janet Conant. This nine-play collection was selected to be a combination of dramas and comedies. Scripts were divided up among the five theater companies, and each theater is responsible for casting its plays and each play's direction. Gatorade announced Friday morning that Mill Creek standout Caleb Downs is the 2022-23 Gatorade Georgia Football Player of the Year. Downs, who begins classes at Alabama this month, is the first Gatorade Georgia Football Player of the Year to be chosen from Mill Creek High School. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Downs as Georgia's best high school football player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Football Player of the Year award to be announced in January, Downs joins an elite alumni association of state award-winners in 12 sports, including Trevor Lawrence (2018-19 & 2016-17, Cartersville High School), Matthew Stafford (2005-06, Highland Park High School, Texas) and Emmitt Smith (1986-87, Escambia High School, Fla.). The 6-foot, 195-pound senior safety and running back led the Hawks to a 14-1 record and the Class AAAAAAA state championship this past season. Downs recorded 76 tackles and made five interceptions, returning two of them for touchdowns. Downs also rushed for 390 yards and 20 scores, including three TDs in the Hawks' 70-35 win over Carrollton High School in the state final. Ranked as the nation's No. 13 recruit in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports.com, he also had 36 receptions for 422 yards and three scores. Downs has volunteered locally with Gen50, a faith-based peer leadership group, and as a youth football coach. He has also donated his time as a member of the Mill Creek High School football leadership council and as part of local food drives. A company that specializes in nuclear fuel cell technology and consulting solutions has signed a lease for an office in Peachtree Corners. Lincoln Property Company Southeast announced NAC International signed the lease for 23,000-square-feet of space at the 2 Sun office building in Technology Park Atlanta. The 98.040-square-foot 2 Sun building was recently renovated to add campus-wide Wi-Fi internet, food delivery service for tenants and an outdoor patio. Lincoln said the northeast Atlanta submarket has outperformed other submarkets in recent years and its 15.9% vacancy rate is the lowest among major areas in metro Atlanta.    Looking for a fun way to start off the new year with your kids? The Children's Museum of Atlanta has you covered as it opens a new exhibit at the end of the month. “Splash and Bubbles: Dive In, Lend a Fin!” opens on Jan. 21. The exhibit is based on the popular PBS Kids TV show, “Splash and Bubbles,” a hit animated series that encourages children to explore ocean science and marine biology through character-driven comedy. The series is co-produced by The Jim Henson Company and Herschend Entertainment Studios. According to museum officials, the new exhibit builds on kids' connections to the characters and their habitats, immersing them in a larger-than-life marine environment and introducing them to the incredible world of ocean exploration. While exploring the early childhood STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) based exhibit, children will be encouraged to build both scientific inquiry and social-emotional skills as they learn how to protect the ocean and its ecosystems, museum officials said. Ocean conservation is a key message within the exhibit, encouraging families to understand that they can create “a small ripple to help our big ocean.” Featuring a variety of hands-on exhibit components, “Splash and Bubbles: Dive In, Lend a Fin!” invites children to discover a whole new world as they navigate an under-the-sea maze in a kelp forest, explore a sunken ship that has become an artificial reef, interact with puppet characters created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop and more. The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum served as the creative producers for the new exhibit, created in partnership with The Jim Henson Company and Herschend Enterprises. The exhibit is made possible thanks to generous support from Tim and Elizabeth Swank, Anna and Jim McKelvey and the Graybar Foundation. Local media sponsorship is provided by the Nine Network. The exhibit will be at Children's Museum of Atlanta through April 30 and is free with museum admission. For more information, go to: childrensmuseumatlanta.org. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners was scheduled to appoint Commissioner Jasper Watkins III as its vice-chairman for 2023 on Tuesday. That was the way it was listed on the board's meeting agenda. Things changed during the meeting, however. When the item came up for a vote, Watkins instead nominated fellow Commissioner Ben Ku for the position. The commission then voted to affirm the choice. So, Ku will now serve as the second-in-command on the commission for the next 12 months. That means he will be the person who presides over meetings when Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson is unavailable to do so. It's probably not too surprising that Watkins was not the person who ended up getting picked to serve as vice-chairman, however. The commission has traditionally rotated the vice-chairmanship between its members and Watkins was the vice-chairman in 2022. Ku, who has served on the board longer than any of his colleagues, previously served as vice-chairman in 2019.   For advertising inquiries, please email j.southerland@bgadgroup.com For more information be sure to visit www.bgpodcastnetwork.com   https://www.lawrencevillega.org/  https://www.foxtheatre.org/  https://guideinc.org/  https://www.psponline.com/  https://www.kiamallofga.com/  https://www.milb.com/gwinnett  https://www.fernbankmuseum.org/        .      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Turn Back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late.” We watched Labyrinth (1986) with our good-Judy Jared Anderson and we wish the Goblin King would come and take you away… right now. Sixteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelley) faces off against Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie) and a generation's sexual awakening began. Bowie is giving androgynous ren-faire realness and Connelley is giving ethereal drama-kid/teen model. And you can trust and believe we get into that cod-piece. Is it icky that the Goblin King is so actively seducing this young girl?  A little, but it's all fantasy and (spoiler alert) Sarah finds her way back to her kick ass bedroom in her dad and stepmoms sweet Victorian house in Portland.  The puppet work by Jim Henson's Creature Shop will transport you to another world, the costumes will make you want to head over to Party City right now, and the MUSIC! Don't get us started on the soundtrack by David Bowie.  It's FIRE.  Grab a cold mug of mead, break out your tights and lets get theatrical!  Say it with us… “You have no power over me!”   Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
