Hi Brian, I have been a huge Muppet fan all my life. I love(d) The Jim Henson Hour, Sesame Street, Labyrinth, the Muppet movies, Fraggle Rock, the Dark Crystal, and of course The Muppet Show! I also do a pretty decent Kermit the Frog impression.

In a few years, I would like to open a non-profit that includes, among other things, a puppet workshop. I’ve taken some puppeteering courses and read a bit about the process of creating puppets, but I wanted to know what books you would recommend for the aspiring puppet builder? Do you have some advice for how to safely involve young people in the process of building puppets?

Thank you for bringing joy into the world. :)

Your dad was my orthodontist and he was hilarious! Just wanted to say hi. My teeth are perfect now.

How do you determine your rating when it comes to wildly different films? In 2013 you loved Wolf of Wall Street as well as Gravity. Do you just say "this is the best/worst film of its genre"? Theoretically, could you give 4 stars to a comedy or parody film if it did its job perfectly?

Who is Sir Nose, and why can't he swim or dance?

Also, we need a Chocolate City now more than ever! When are you running for President??

You're the best, George Clinton. You're my favorite musician of all time.

Hi Ron, thanks for doing this. Do you have thoughts on Screenwriting books worth reading? Do books like Save the Cat and Writing Movies for Fun and Profit get it right? Thank you!
