THATCHER



about this episode


What does Star Wars, Star Trek, Gremlins, and The Muppets all have in common? The inspired influence of this week's guest Kirk Thatcher!  Kirk is a prolific creator, writer, designer, director behind Dinosaurs, The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell, and a whole slew of Muppet projects like Muppet Treasure Island, A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and the upcoming Muppets Now coming this summer to Disney+.

The guys talk to Kirk about his new endeavor in consulting and brainstorming with aspiring writers and filmmakers.  We also discuss coming up through Lucasfilm's ILM, a mentorship under Jim Henson, and the hustle of being a working creative in Hollywood. Don't miss this jam-packed episode for great insights into creating content PLUS his philosophy on directing the Muppets.
