Part 2 of 3: Eric has the first full-length interview with Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne following the exclusive, festival-only screenings of the new Flaming Lips movie, “Christmas on Mars.” Also included are clips from “Christmas on Mars,” clips from its pre-advance trailer, and some front row footage of The Flaming Lips’ amazing performance headlining that night. Eric caught up with Wayne Coyne before The Lips took the stage Friday June 6, 2008 at the Wakarusa Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas, where The Flaming Lips set up a special circus tent, served green popcorn, and screened the new Flaming Lips movie “Christmas on Mars” for only the second time ever (the first was just one week before at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in George, Washington). Wayne Coyne talks about what inspired him to make the movie – seven years in the making – a drive to finish a movie his mother dreamt up while dozing on the couch one night. Exclusive! Wayne also talks about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” – The Broadway play (although not in this episode– coming up!).

So I was watching Three Amigos the other day, and it occurred to me that Wayne looks just like El Guapo.

Yes! El Guapo: with loving hands, knowing evil will prevail! Perfect. Nice one, buddy.
