This week I just can’t seem to get off the phone. I’m happy to welcome not one, not two, but FOUR MuppetCast listeners on to talk about their experiences at both Comic Con 2009 and the recent Puppeteers of America National festival.
Special thanks to Matt Kahl, Marianne Murphy, Megan McCabe, and David Stephens for talking with me this week. We all had a blast!
Comic Con 2009 was all atwitter (and all a-Facebook I’m sure) about the newly revealed Farscape mega box set containing all four seasons plus more bonus material than you could shake a stick at. That’s assuming you’re one for shaking sticks to begin with. It’s also been reported that fans can opt to purchase the one large mega set or purchase seasons one, two, three, or four individually. They’ll all be released at the same time. Now there’s an idea.
Farscape also earned a place in the Guiness Book of World Records for “most visual effects in a TV series“. How cool is that!
The Muppet Wiki continues to be The One Big Resource for Muppet fans who want to know anything and everything about the Muppets. This week they assist in Muppetology as we fondly remember The Teeny Little Superguy. (Oh yeah!)
After chatting with Matt Kahl from Comic Con, he visited the BOOM! Studios booth and met up with Muppet Show Comic Book writer and artist Roger Langridge. Roger was kind enough to draw a picture of The Electric Mayhem for Matt, and Matt was kind enough to send along a copy for The MuppetCast Flickr Page. Thanks Roger and Matt!
Thanks for listening! Questions/Comments about the Muppets or The MuppetCast can be emailed to me@muppetcast.com, or called in to the voicemail line at 614-364-4270. Even better, stop by the Muppet Central Forums and discuss this and many other episodes with Muppet fans worldwide. Follow the show on Twitter and join the Facebook page too!
Have a great week!
-Steve
