Podcasts about muppets now

JOIN TSL WORKSHOPS: https://tslworkshops.circle.so To say that Kelly Younger is a fairly tell expert is an understatement. He has built an entire career around his obsession with fairy tale principles, so much so that he has becoming a coveted story consultant, and frequent writer for THE MUPPETS universe, with credits on MUPPETS NOW and MUPPETS HAUNTED MANSION. Younger has developed at Amazon, Apple, Hulu, Disney Studios, Paramount Animation, Warner Animation Group, Dreamworks Animation, Disney Originals, and consulted at Skydance Animation and on both SHREK 5 and PUSS IN BOOTS 2 at Illumination. He frequently gives invited studio talks on fairy tales and story structure. So why would should we care so much about a centuries-old artform? Kelly breaks it all down today.

Weezer and The Muppets have a lot more in common than that video they did together. Nate Runkel from Yo! That's My Jawn is with us (briefly) to discuss the entirity of one of many single season Muppet shows: Muppets Now. Which seems like it should have an exclamation point but doesn't. In every sense.

“The origin story feels pretty far away from where I am now,” says screenwriter Kelly Younger. “I started out in archeology. Truth be told, I wanted to be a Goonie,” he jokes. “I'm from a working class Irish family. My family went through a hard financial time. We actually lost our house when I was a kid.” “In The Goonies, the kids are about to lose their homes, but then they find this treasure map, fight criminals, there's pirate ships, but ultimately they find the treasure that is going to save the family home. That movie really hit me at a pretty important moment.” “Then, when Indiana Jones came out, I wanted to be an archeologist. That was always my interest and facisnation. Lost civilizations and treasures. The kind of magic surrounding those kinds of stories. I was also a bit of a theater kid in middle school and high school. When it came time for school, I studied English Literature and the Classics.” Eventually, it became obvious that Younger was making career choices based on movies. “Ultimately, I moved to Ireland and studied literature, drama, folk tales, mythology, and fairy tales. I started out as a student of storytelling, but then my theater background kicked in and I started writing plays—mostly because I was broke. I wrote a play and won 1,000 pounds and got involved in the Dublin Theater Festival.” Eventually, this lead the screenwriter to Disney Animation where he worked as part of the “Story Trust,” providing feedback and advice for Moana, Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Toy Story 4, Frozen II, Onward, Aladdin, and Raya and the Last Dragon. As a screenwriter, Younger has credits on Muppets Now, Muppets Haunted Mansion, and the new Eddie Murphy comedy Candy Cane Lane. The story follows a man who is determined to win the neighborhood's annual Christmas decorating contest until he makes a pact with an Elf who cast a spell on him which brings the 12 days of Christmas to life, and wrecks havoc on the town.

By now you've gotten to know Ashley and Sammi pretty well, which means you know they love to go on occasional RANTS! Today's episode was not intended to be a rant, but became one anyway. Your Pixie Dust Twins have a lot to say about the latest Muppet television show attempts....and none of their feedback is positive. The Muppets. never seemed to get the "vibe" quite right, and was too adult for a show featuring the beloved puppets. Plus, how can you break up Miss Piggy and Kermit (as weird as they are)?! The latest version of Muppet Babies is CGI and Ashley and Sammi are not fans. Finally, Muppets Now had potential, but the structure was all wrong. But don't worry, Ashley and Sammi think they have cracked the formula for a perfect Muppet Show comeback! Do you agree? Let them know on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcast, and watch for polls related to today's episode.

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.

He also liaises with the Shop's builders and supervises characters on set to ensure that the original concept and design style is maintained throughout the build and performance. 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. Julianne Buescher  Julianne Buescher is a whimsically versatile, classically trained actor, voice-over artist and Muppet Performer…whose new Muppet character Beverly Plume can be seen in “Muppets Now!” On Disney+!

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.

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.

Garrett Martin looks back on 2020 and picks out his five favorite new Disney+ exclusives--whether they're new, like Earth to Ned and Muppets Now, or an old curiosity being dredged up from the absolute bottom of the Disney Vault. (Yes, we're talking about that 1977 Mousketeers special again.)

MUPPETS NOW is a new original TV series streaming on Disney+. “Fever Pitch,” the second episode, focuses on Scooter, who faces comical obstacles as he rushes to get the most recent content finished and uploaded on the new Muppet streaming service. The episode contains four different segments, each hosted by different Muppet characters. Some segments just make viewers laugh, while others offer nuggets of educational information and health and fitness tips.

We're going whole-hog for this Cheers to Puppeteers as we're joined by Muppet performer Eric Jacobson. You know Eric as the performer behind some of the most iconic Muppet characters, many of which were originated by Frank Oz, including Miss Piggy, Grover, Fozzie Bear, Bert, and many more. Eric also inherited the role of Oscar the Grouch from Caroll Spinney upon his retirement in 2018. Tune in as we talk with Eric about his incredible journey through the world of puppetry, from discovering his talent as a mimic at a young age, learning to perform marionettes at some of New York's most prestigious companies, and how Jim Henson's death inspired him to keep the Muppet legacy alive. We'll also discuss the challenge of puppeteering from home, his mentorship with Frank Oz, and the making of Muppets Now. PLUS: find out what happens when a radio-controlled Elmo goes haywire!

Alexis Hejna and Mark Radulich review the latest iteration of the Muppet Show, Muppets Now!

Morgan and Jeff “preview” the new Muppets Now series coming to Disney+ July 31st. Although recorded back in early July, this episode was delayed and almost lost due to our move.

 It’s a grey, rainy, windy day, making it tough to get motivated to make a podcast. Because I cannot let down my 20 listeners! I still find a few things to talk about. Disney’s live-action Mulan has dropped on Disney+, so I explored to find out how exactly it works. We got a new trailer for the latest James Bond film, No Time to Die, so I offer up my thoughts. Over on The Streaming Report, I give my thoughts on Star Trek: Lower Decks and Muppets Now. And I wrap things up by giving my opinion on the Alberta hyperloop. All on Episode 10.20: The Procrastination Game!

We decide whether Disney Plus’ attempt to make the muppets appeal to YouTube loving kids is a success in the new show, Muppets Now. Plus, Deborah makes an impassioned plea for Miss Piggy’s dignity. In Screen Time in the News, we discuss a new crop of TV shows for grown ups made during the pandemic. Are we interested in seeing our own Zoom-centric lives reflected back to us on screen?

We move East of West this week, and talk Stranger Things, DC FanDome, Lovecraft Country, Perry Mason, The Muppets NOW, and Spider-Woman!

Vance) to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father (Michael Kenneth Williams). This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback. Lovecraft Country is executive produced by showrunner Misha Green along with J.J. Abrams, Jordan Peele, Bill Carraro, Yann Demange, Daniel Sackheim, and David Knoller.

[rating:2.5/5] RODRIGO MUPPETS NOW Directed By: Vito Masano, Rufus Scot Church, Chris Alender Service: Disney + Release Date: Weekly Episodes Starting July 31 Muppets Now “Muppets Now” is The Muppets Studio's first unscripted series and first original series for Disney+. In the six-episode season, Scooter rushes to make his delivery deadlines and upload the brand-new Muppet series for streaming. They are due now, and he'll need to navigate whatever obstacles, distractions, and complications the rest of the Muppet gang throws at him. Overflowing with spontaneous lunacy, surprising guest stars and more frogs, pigs, bears (and whatevers) than legally allowed, the Muppets cut loose in “Muppets Now” with the kind of startling silliness and chaotic fun that made them famous. From zany experiments with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker to lifestyle tips from the fabulous Miss Piggy, each episode is packed with hilarious segments, hosted by the Muppets showcasing what the Muppets do best. Produced by The Muppets Studio and Soapbox Films, “Muppets Now” premieres Friday, July 31, streaming only on Disney+. [rating: 3.5/5] ASHLEY PERRY MASON CHAPTER 8 Writer: Rolin Jones & Ron Fitzgerald & Kevin J. Hynes Director: Tim Van Patten Starring: Matthew Rhys Network: HBO [Max] Release Date: August 9, 2020 Burger advises Mason to rest his case and pin his hopes on Hicks' testimony. Street, instead, suggests that Mason put Emily on the stand, to which he agrees. However, during cross-examination, Barnes is able to get Emily to claim at least partial responsibility for Charlie's death. Mason delivers a passionate closing statement blaming Barnes for attacking Emily's character instead of pursuing the truth. After five days of deliberation, the jury becomes deadlocked, and the judge declares a mistrial; it is revealed that Strickland paid off one of the jurors, though that juror then reveals two other jurors legitimately voted not guilty. Meanwhile, Drake resigns from the police force, Strickland leaves Mason to work for Burger, Alice disappears, and Holcomb has Ennis killed. Emily adopts the baby that Birdy found, and joins Birdy's new traveling miracle-based church. Mason moves into Jonathan's office, taking on Street as his secretary (and future partner) and Drake as his lead detective. Mason finds Alice working as a waitress, and they bond over their loneliness.
