Tristan says: “I know it may sound odd, since the first Live Hot Puppet Chat flick just started filming a couple of weeks ago. But there’s a massive advantage to doing two flicks side-by-side: when one gets delayed for a few days, you just jump over to the other one and start eating away at that elephant instead. The GRRF movie involves a steady crew, the smups not-so-much. Also beats back the burn-out factor, I suppose. We had our first big day of filming last Friday, including a stunning bit from Prof. Ricardo Domiguez and Holly Eskew. Should be finished before 2009 is.”

Tristan speaks: “I know it’s a long time coming, it just required the proper idea popping in my head. GRRF has been the thing over the last year or so, and if I had rushed a smup flick, it would have been an expanded rehash of the TV theme, i.e. ‘here we all are, running a TV station—oooops, we have personality friction, things are getting zany, oh that damn slug is always so rude,’ etc., just another bunch of puppets picking over the bones of The Muppet Show format. And the temptation was there for the old mockumentary standby by of, ‘three years after the show broke up—what are they doing now?’ But that seemed too obvious. I wanted them to somehow wrangle up a Real Movie, and yet not a real movie (of course), and yet have each character ensuring both its flavor & its utter ruin with their own unique sociopathic flair. In short, I was looking at the new vid equipment and suddenly I knew exactly the movie Skiddles would attempt to make with it, and how it could involve all the other smups. So off it goes. Coming your way late 2009, just in time for Christmas. *hopeful stare* And the final title with be something much more bizarre and worrisome than LHPC:TMP, promise.”
