Luke has come down with a deadly virus and it’s up to Leia, Lando and Chewbacca to save his life. If only they, like us, can keep track of two red jewels…   Richard and Sarah break down this classic Marvel Star Wars comic and go through each comic page - commenting on artwork, storytelling, and connections to current Star Wars projects like ANDOR and AHSOKA.   We recommend watching the video version of this episode on YouTube which contains the full comic as we page through it.      #50 “THE CRIMSON FOREVER"   Release Date: May 19, 1981 Writer: Archie Goodwin Artwork: Al Williamson, Walt Simonson, Tom Palmer Cover Art:  Tom Palmer   Luke Skywalker has contracted a deadly virus known as The Crimson Forever from a large red crystal.

    Here They Come...The Monkee Men!

    Hey Hey, it’s The Monkee Men! We are thrilled to speak with Ron McNeil who created this Monkees tribute band as well as Frankee Mendonca who perfectly embodies the role of Davy Jones. We just saw them in concert and it was like watching a lost episode of The Monkees TV show. Ron and Frankee give us a peek behind the curtain and tell us what it takes to put together this show that takes its parts from the TV series and their beloved music. This is as close to having the actual Monkees (circa 1966) as we can get and they do not disappoint!

    482: FREAKY FRIDAY vs. FREAKY FRIDAY! (1977 vs. 2003)

    It’s FREAKY FRIDAY 1977 vs. FREAKY FRIDAY 2003!! Seeing Jodie Foster & Lindsay Lohan introduce Jamie Lee Curtis at the Disney Legends Awards Ceremony this year, plus the title announcement for 2025’s FREAKIER FRIDAY, inspired a rewatch of these films. So why not do a podcast episode comparing them?? Courtney and Kelly Turckel (Neverland Clubhouse) join us to compare each film. What were our nostalgic memories? How did each handle the body swap, the crush, the little brother? Did the big climactic moment measure up? And how did the 2003 version update the original? This is guaranteed to be a freaky conversation! (If you’ve seen the 1977 version, you’ll agree!)   Today in Star Wars History - 9/9/1977   After thirteen weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, the Star Wars Soundtrack peaks at the #2 position. It is topped by Fleetwood Mac’s album, Rumours.    The 2-LP soundtrack, released by 20th Century Fox, is released in June and goes on to become certified Gold and Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
