Fluppy Dogs
Kristin Iversen:
Yes, this is a real Christmas movie. It is not, as Jonny Diamond asked me, “a waking dream you had in Barstow three-days into a bender.” Fluppy Dogs was a one-hour TV pilot for a series that was never made because the pilot was only watched by one person (me) in the entire United States of America. And it is a national treasure of cinema. It is about the canus fluppidogius —and their leader, a Fluppy named Stanley—and the hunt for a secret door that leads to the Fluppies home dimension and how the Fluppies and their human friends—Jamie and Claire—are almost thwarted by an evil miser named Wagstaff. It is like the My So-Called Life or Freaks and Geeks of Christmas TV movies. If you have a chance, watch it. And then watch it again.
