Jake Swearingen wrote in Wired: "As frontman for the Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne always makes sure his audience gets the most whiz-bang for its buck. At live gigs, that means trotting around inside a giant hamster ball while dozens of Santas and aliens shimmy onstage. And this holiday season it means a feature film. … Wired talked to Coyne about his directorial debut. … [Wired:] Aaron Sorkin is working on a Broadway musical based on your album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Does that mean a lot of karate-chop-and-talk hallway sequences? [Coyne:] I've thought about that a billion times. He's a smart and energetic guy. With me and him together, it's either all possibilities exist or none do" ("Music: The Martian Chronicles," 11/08, p. 84).
