Episode 49 - A Fan Odyssey with Virginia Smith (2010: The Year We Make Content)

"2010" was MGM's major motion picture of the year, with major hype, media train, and even merch (!?)

Leap back to December 1984 with Virginia Smith, and experience what it was like to be a young fan of the most influential science fiction of the 20th century, right at the peak of the party!

Hear Virginia's inspiring example of following your passion and staying true to your art, living the 90's life at Nickelodeon and Sega, and her entry into the world of robot building.

How her passion for "2010" and "Short Circuit" led her to once-in-a-lifetime encounters with cast, crew and props. And why the Venn diagram connecting these two films may be bigger than you think.

Plus: Johnny Five, Buddy Hackett, and Bug!
