Prodigious Saps No. 40: "I Want a Wookiee Pal"
Star Wars Fandom: the First Generation
FINALLY, as long promised, today we're joined by our friend Jerry Chrisman to talk STAR WARS... our memories of seeing it for the first time, the seismic impact it had on us and the world around us, and what it was like growing up while the Original Trilogy was unfolding. We also talk a bit about the Special Editions and Prequels.
Just to give a little bit of context... Brendan and Jerry went to high school together, were in the band Zsu-Zsu's Petals together (which is when I met them both), and they now run Tesla City Stories together. The three of us have known each other for a very long time (30+ plus years), so the chemistry here is pretty damn special. Jerry is also a graphic designer, multimedia artist and web developer... as well as an extremely talented keyboardist and composer. And like Brendan and I, he is also a huge nerd.
There will be more of this in the pipeline very soon, as there's still TONS more to talk about. We still have to get to the sequels and the Disney Plus era of Star Wars.
What about y'all? What was your first Star Wars experience?

At long last, here is our piece on Terry Gilliam's masterpiece BRAZIL. This was well over a year in the making... not because it literally took that long to finish it, but just in that I was so hellbent on not half-assing the edit that I kept kicking it down the road. It's still not perfect, but...
