    120 - Nicolas Coppola (Puppetworks)
    Jun 1 2026

    http://www.UnderThePuppet.com - Nicolas Coppola became enchanted by puppetry at an early age. This enchantment lead to a life of building, performing and running puppet companies that has lasted over 70 years. He created shows for The Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. and had a long standing job creating shows and performing at Macy*s in New York City. He also created PuppetWorks, a non-profit marionette theater in Park Slope Brooklyn, New York that has entertained families since 1980. I chat with Nicolas Coppola about his amazing career on this episode of Under The Puppet.

    119 - Jim LoGiudice (Far Outpost, The Rocketeer, The Abyss)
    May 1 2026

    http://www.UnderThePuppet.com -

    Jim LoGiudice began his career making props and models for films such as The Abyss, Con Air, The Rocketeer, and Armageddon. He made the move to puppetry though his church and started developing the characters and the show that would become Far Outpost, which performs weekly at Granite Creek Church in Claremont, California. I talk to Jim LoGiudice about the development of Far Outpost, the building of the puppets on the show, their crazy special effects, and more on this episode of Under The Puppet.

    One quick note. During my interview with Jim we discuss some of the special effect techniques uses on Far Outpost. Jim is a Hollywood professional and has trained in creating these special effects. Do not attempt any of the effect techniques discussed in this interview for yourself.
