We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about our latest short, Secret Admirer, however, some of our more middle-aged fans are worried that we’re heading down a road of “stupid puppet sex jokes” that are “inaccessible to [the] old folks.”

Well, just as a reminder that Tremendosaur cares very much about the 40+ demographic, we’d like to share one older fan’s praise (and rigorous analysis) of Old People vs. Technology.

YouTube is supposed to be as much about the makers of the videos as it is about the videos themselves, so I decided to send the makers an email, to bond a bit and to explore what I see as common thematic ground. I wanted to ask how they came to choose that topic, and to ask if those elders who are so eloquently flailing around are in one of their families.

That quote’s just the tip of the iceberg. On her blog, “Came of Age Before Computers,” Tremendopal Nancy Strider examines ‘Old People vs. Technology’ in a 1000 word, stream-of-consciousness essay in which (among other things) she fantasizes about the “young man onscreen” and his relationship with his grandparents.

We just uploaded two new extras from the set of Old People vs. Technology.

The first is an extended cut of Marty enjoying blackberries. It’s amazing. View it here.

The second is a clip montage of Marty, Jay, Jane, and Justin doing different poses we thought we were going to use. It’s set to music. It’s great. It’s time you checked it out.

Runtime: 2:23
Tune in as old people battle their natural enemy: technology.
With: Marty Dusig, Jay Edwards, Justin Michael, Jane Shepherd

This short is for all of Tremendosaur’s older friends who aren’t always as hippity hoppity with the intery-netity.

Special thanks to Marty Dusig, Jay Edwards, and Jane “The One-Take-Wonder” Sheperd - all of whom were AMAZING to work with.

We’ll probably be posting some pretty great extras soon, so stay tuned.
