240 dollars worth of pudding: the movie

Good news State fans. I stumbled across some blogs and interviews that Michael Showalter was doing last fall to promote his new comedy album Sandwiches and Cats.

Multiple times he mentions a State reunion and possible movie. Here's an example from My Old Kentucky Blog

By Michael Showalter...

I'd like to be the first to announce on My Old Kentucky Blog that The State is reuniting (though in truth we never broke up) to make a sketch comedy movie. All I can say about it is that we're back together after a brief ten year break and it's going to be about the history of our country. Hopefully, funny. While we're getting that up on it's feet I decided to make a comedy record. It's called Sandwiches & Cats and I called it that because Cats & Sandwiches was too easy to say. Sandwiches & Cats is a little harder to say. It rolls off the tongue less easily. I was going to call it just Sandwiches but then a woman brought two cats to my live taping and they meowed through the entire recording so it seemed appropriate to add it to the title considered that they were providing most of the laugh track.

This would go in my "Things I'm Jacked up about" list, but I never recieved any word back on my essay from the "Sleep with the State Concept" back in the 90's.
