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. Talking Points Include: Real No Water Emergen-C, Veto Veto Veto, Enjoying The Spooky Season, We Love Puppeteers, First Idea Worst Idea, The First Ever Inside Kiss, Henson Inception, An Exclusive Reveal of Banksy's Identity, The Muppets Do A Manhattan Project

You have 2 days to make a crazy underwater creature puppet; Can you do it? We watch as 10 individuals who can, compete to see who makes the best on Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge on syfy. S01E01 || Theme Song: "Crooked Mile (slinky rock mix)" by Hans Atom || Outro: "I dunno" by grapes

The brothers are joined today by Kirk Thatcher, an Emmy award winning writer/producer, an award winning television, commercial and viral video director, as well as a creature maker and character designer for both films and television.   Expect to hear...   ...How and why Kirk became an artist in spite of having parents that did not see it as a lucrative or even practical career path.   ...what it was like to design and create creatures for Return of the Jedi, Star Trek II and III, E.T., and others.   ...the process behind writing Muppet films and the secret to bringing Muppet characters to life.   MEMORABLE QUOTES BY KIRK “I was interested in the cinema as not only a diversion but also as a career. Seeing that there were, indeed, vocations and avocations in the industry of cinema, or film if you will, I realized that not only did I enjoy viewing these productions, but I was also quite curious and interested in making them.” “They're dead. They're dehydrated, mummified Muppets. Whereas, when we're in the moment, and the characters come alive, particularly once you create out of yourself, that's the magic.” “Performers are more than just the people who read the lines. The Muppets, because they've been around so long, the performers are so integral, so it has to be much more of a collaboration.”   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE Growing up in Los Angeles as an adopted child [05:18] Where Kirk discovered and developed his artistic abilities [12:48] Working on Return of the Jedi [18:12] Kirk's life in snapshots [24:30] Becoming an associate producer on Star Trek IV [32:10] Co-writing Muppet Treasure Island [46:30] Bringing that “extra insanity” to storytelling and character development [52:03] Taking risks with the Muppets [59:27] Collaborating with the brothers to create Pepe the King Prawn [1:01:40]   ABOUT OUR GUEST Kirk R.
