Popsicle: The Interview

 Popsicle: The Interview

Metropolis City despite being the night time is in full anticipation for the arrival of its very first show after being shut down due to the COVID pandemic nearly four years  ago. A line is seen out the door as people try to get into the free studio viewing. The stage is wooden based with dark purple velvet curtains and a shiny 100 inch screen tv decorates the central wall. Glinda Guildwater steps out onto the central stage dressed in a black silky sparkly dress with a microphone in hand.

Glinda: Welcome ladies and gentlemen the very first show after the show. My oh my I can’t believe that our studio is back in production ladies and gentlemen and our first one is kind of a bit of a let down not going to lie. Seriously popsicle. Anyway without further ado let’s welcome the star of the show Ricky to the set.

(Music-Rocky appears)

Ricky: Hello my wonderful fans. (Crickets sits down)

Glinda: welcome to the after, after show Ricky. Although I already heard through the grapevine that our wonderful production team is already starting on the next episode.

Ricky: thank you for having me Glinda.

Glinda: so Ricky how was it that you were casted for another Lauren Animations short you do look awfully familiar.

Ricky: oh yeah you may have seen my first appearance in Boxed in which was a few years ago. Same outfit and everything. But as to how I got casted I did what I did last time. I showed up and got the job.

(Crowd laughs)

Glinda: You had to film at Newquark beach was it crowded? What was the weather like?

Ricky: I’m not from Newquark I’m from Metropolis and I am not used to sand. And when I say sand got everywhere sand got in places sand shouldn’t be.

Glinda: um kinda didn’t answer my question. Okay, okay so what was your favorite scene to play?

Ricky: hmm my favorite scene had to be at the end when I ate the popsicle. We had to do so many takes that I got to eat a whole bunch of Superman popsicles I thought my insides where going to turn red white and blue. But I have to say I wasn’t prepared to film some scenes.

Glinda: oh like what do tell?

Ricky: for starters I had to do a lot of running. Like the scene with the cops that was like fifty takes apparently I didn’t look tired enough. And that breakdancing scene that was awesome but I did actually sprain my knee jumping up and down like that.

Glinda: I have to ask Ricky where those actual rocks in the lemonade?

Ricky: actual rocks? Heck no! That was actually some chocolates covered in grey fondant and that guys teeth were false teeth.

Glinda: any other inside details I should know?

Ricky: hmm not really everything else was standard procedure we filmed in about a months time.

Glinda: is that why the production quality was so cheap?

Ricky: hey

Glinda: that’s all the time we have left folks i can’t wait to see you next time for the after, after show!
