Episode 22 - STAR WARS: A Space Odyssey - Week 2!

Off to ICCCon! We're so excited, we can't stop talking about Stuart Freeborn's creature work in 2001 & STAR WARS, from apes to ewoks, wookiees to [insert mystery YODA species].

It's the Strangelove Connection with DP Gil Taylor's comparison of Stanley and George, and the Kubrickian origins of Vader with David Prowse and James Earl Jones! By the way, is the Log Lady from Endor?

Plus: "Congo" kid's meals, mail-in HAL decoder rings, and tiny plastic crustless ham sandwiches.

Featuring the voices of Dennis Muren, George Lucas, Arthur C. Clarke, Dan Richter, Keith Denny, Colin Arthur, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt, Stuart Freeborn, Frank Oz, Irvin Kershner, Warwick Davis, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Gilbert Taylor, Steven Spielberg, Jude Law, and David Lynch.
