Totally Tell Me Everything: Recent Episodes

Part of the Skywalking Network

Two women; one fun topic each month. In every episode, we’ll chat and learn a little bit about that topic, ourselves and life. It’s like hanging out with friends, but in podcast form! So come sit by us, and we’ll totally tell you everything! Hosted by Bryn MacKinnon and Sarah Woloski. Proud member of the Skywalking Network.

We waited 50 years to the date that JAWS premiered (June 20, 1975) to put out this episode.

We celebrate this anniversary with special guest Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s the Bossk podcast) by sharing our personal stories and fun facts of the film’s legacy. From JAWS music (da-DUM!) to merchandise (who wore the Shark costume that Halloween?), behind-the-scenes tidbits (who is this “Bruce” the shark was named after?) and YOUR personal experiences with this special film. Everyone has a JAWS story. What’s yours?

Voice actress Anna Graves IS Duchess Satine, and she joins Richard and Sarah to share stories from THE CLONE WARS recording sessions. We are so excited to welcome her to Skywalking Through Neverland!! Our conversation covered so many topics. How did Anna and James Arnold Taylor develop their chemistry between Obi-Wan and Satine? How did Dave Filoni run the recording sessions? Who was the voice of Maul during that fateful episode for Satine? How would Anna voice her very own Ewok? Anna also voices Teckla Minnau, Jedi Masters Tiplar & Tiplee from THE CLONE WARS, and Princess Leia in Disney Infinity. You know Sarah had questions about that!

You can meet Anna “Duchess” Graves at the Boonta Eve Special Edition signing on August 8th in Frisco Texas, during Rebel Scum Con.

This episode marks the HALFWAY point in the original Classic Marvel Star Wars series that ran from 1977-1986! We break down Issue 54: “STARFIRE RISING” from September 1981, which serves as a continuation of repurposed JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS artwork created for the cancelled comic series. Not wanting to waste unused artwork which was done by the same artists as the Star Wars series, Chris Claremont was brought in to write a new Star Wars story based on that existing art. Then Walter Simonson adapted art to fit these issues 53 and 54, and Viola you have new Star Wars!

We are not sure why this issue is called STARFIRE RISING, but it should have been called CRUSH ON LEIA, since the story revolves around Aron Peacebringer (John Carter) having an existential crisis over his adulterous thoughts on Princess Leia. You can tell the moment the art switches from repurposed John Carter to Star Wars towards the end of the issue. Please enjoy.

Today in Star Wars History - May 29, 2019 After a thirty-three-year hiatus, Marvel Comics continues their classic Star Wars series with the release of issue #108 - Forever Crimson. We covered this issue in episode 495 since it was a direct continuation of issue #50: Crimson Forever which came out in 1981. Forever Crimson, published in celebration of Marvel’s 80th anniversary, encompasses five short stories that feature Jaxxon, Amaiza Foxtrain, and the droid-hating Valance the Hunter.

#54 “STARFIRE RISING" Release Date: September 22, 1981 Writer: Chris Claremont Artwork: Walt Simonson, Carmine Infantino Coloring: Glynis Wein Cover Art: Walt Simonson

Imperial General Sk'ar captures Aron Peacebringer and Princess Leia. As the two heroes struggle against their bonds, Aron discovers that his friend Delois, has turned traitor and joined forces with Sk'ar. Now Delois and Skar plan to bomb Aron’s government - The Calian Confederacy.

When all seems lost, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and Aron’s best friend Kéral Longknife arrive to fight the Imperials. Leia finds Sk'ar's anti-matter bomb and begins defusing it, but will she diffuse it in time or will this world be wiped out just like Alderaan?

We are very excited to have back on the show James Kahn, author of the New York Times best-selling Return of the Jedi novelization. Also on his resume - he has resuscitated a dying extraterrestrial (E.T.) and saved many humans as an ER doctor IRL. Kahn’s writing career blossomed from writing the novelizations of Goonies, Poltergeist, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, to writing on TV shows Melrose Place, Star Trek: Voyager & a sitcom E/R with actor George Clooney (NOT ER!).

James just released My Jedi Memoir: A Double Life, an autobiography that uses the hero’s journey in his Jedi novelization to outline the phases of his own life. It’s a fascinating read available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. We loved reconnecting with James and encourage you to read his book.

Convention season is now in full swing. Next up - Comic Con Revolution (CCR)! Programming director David Nieves joins us to discuss what goes into putting on a pop culture convention. What were our first convention experiences? San Diego Comic Con was first for some, while others were relegated to a single banquet room at the local Sheraton Hotel (looking at you Richard). If you ever dreamed of working at a con, David gives tips on how you can make that happen.

David tells us about a NEW feature for this year’s CCR. Attendees will have an opportunity to experience a special pop up with Trapped Escape Room. In The Henchmen's Heist, you and your crew are aspiring villains! You join Madame Graffiti's band of art thieves. The mission? To steal as many pieces of art as possible from the world-famous Lumina Museum at their annual Spectrum Gala.

Along with the many superstars and escape room, we will also be there with TWO of our Trivia party game shows. Sunday May 18th we will host our Pop Culture Trivia Challenge at 12pm. At 2:45 we will play our Star Wars Trivia Challenge Strikes Back!

Today in Star Wars History 5/2/2006 Revenge of the Sith wins top honors in two categories at the 32nd Saturn Awards. The film wins ‘Best Science Fiction Film’ and John Williams wins for ‘Best Score.’

We break down and review the first 3 ANDOR Season 2 episodes, with a special focus on the “Dinner Party from Hell!” with Dedra Meero, Syril Karn, and his mom the emotionally abusive Eedy. Actors Denise Gough (Dedra) and Kyle Soller (Syril) coined “Dinner Party from Hell” at Star Wars Celebration Japan, and there is no better description. This truly relatable “meet the in-laws” dinner speaks to the entire series, as ANDOR is full of relatable moments juxtaposed with galaxy-altering events. Mon Mothma consoles her daughter while Luthen Rael ruthlessly protects information vital to the upstart Rebels. B2 plays tag with kids while Cassian inadvertently finds a new base for the burgeoning Rebellion.

Episodes we break down:

E1: One Year Later
E2: Sagrona Teema
E3: Harvest

Bryce Eller, the man behind all the Darth Vader TV appearances and the official Vader meet and greets at local department stores, gives us exclusive stories of his time on many TV variety shows and live meet and greet engagements.

As a companion piece to my article, Star Wars x 1970’s Variety TV, I talk with Bryce to fill in details you won’t find anywhere else. Bryce appeared on Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack, Donny and Marie, The Wacko Saturday Preview and Other Good Stuff Special, and Kaptain Kool and the Kongs Present ABC All-Star Saturday!

We also go into voicing Darth Vader for these shows, perfecting the Vader walk, and the time he was hit on at a wrap party by a woman who wanted to turn Darth Vader to the deep dark side.

Bryce made his Skywalking debut on the two part episodes - 236 and 237.

But little did we know then, there were even more stories to tell.

ANDOR Season 2 is just around the corner! But where did we leave off with Cassian and friends in Season 1? After all, it was 3 years ago. What really happened between ISB agent Dedra Meero and Imperial wanna-be Syril Karn? How was Maarva Andor weaponized?

If you don’t remember, we are here to remind and prepare you for this new season that premieres on Disney+ on April 22nd. There is lots to go over especially how ANDOR crosses over with STAR WARS REBELS. We also look back at our roundtable interviews with Production Designer Luke Hull and Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson to see how their creations will add to the storytelling of ANDOR Season 2.

Today in Star Wars History 4/15/1963 Happy 63rd Birthday to Tom Kane! Tom Kane voiced hundreds of animated characters in dozens of series. To Star Wars fans he is Yoda and Admiral Yularen in The Clone Wars and did the opening newsreel narration for each episode. He also voiced Admiral Ackbar in The Last Jedi and Star Tours.

Unfortunately Tom Kane had to retire from voice acting in 2020 after a stroke.

What would Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics look like if it crashed into John Carter, Warlord of Mars? This comic is your answer. On this episode we break down Issue 53: THE LAST GIFT FROM ALDERAAN from August 1981. This issue inserts Princess Leia into repurposed Carmine Infantino artwork from the cancelled JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS series, and boy, can you tell! Not only does it have narration in first person, it also has some scenes intended only for an over-18 audience. Make sure those little ones are nowhere near this comic!

Today in Star Wars History - April 9, 1984 Return Of The Jedi wins a ‘Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects’ at the 56th Academy Awards. Cheech and Chong present awards to Richard Edlund, Phil Tippet, Ken Ralston, and Dennis Muren.

Leia returns to the capital city with Aron, and tries to warn him of the danger of the Galactic Empire, but the warlord is not convinced that such an Empire exists. During a gala, Aron then learns the hard way about this non-existing Empire.

He also cameoed as Republic officer, Lant Davan, in The Mandalorian episode “Chapter 6 - The Prisoner.” A role we thought (and hoped) would be a recurring character.

Who else LOVED the Netflix DAREDEVIL series?? We did, and we are so excited that DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Marvel Television’s continuation of those first 3 seasons - is now airing on Disney+!! We’ve been waiting years for Disney to pick up where Netflix left off and now it’s here. We’ll give you some comic history of Daredevil and a brief summary of what you should know going in. We also break down the first two episodes and take a special look at imagery, sound design, and character journeys. Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) reprise their respective roles and we were both blown away. FYI, there will be spoilers.

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN begins several years after the events of Netflix’s DAREDEVIL, and a year after Matt Murdock has stopped being the vigilante "Daredevil". Now, Murdock continues his fight for justice as a lawyer while former crime boss Wilson Fisk has been elected mayor of New York City, putting the pair on a collision course. This first season consists of 9 episodes total, and the first 2 premiered on March 4. Over the next 2 months the entire series will air, and we are here for it.

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics is back! We break down Issue 52: TO TAKE THE TARKIN from July 1981 with our good friend Spencer Jawitz (Virtual Cantina Network). In this issue, our heroes infiltrate the Empire’s new battle station, The Tarkin. Will history repeat itself where they destroy the massive station or will Darth Vader stop them this time - that is if he survives the plot from within the Empire’s ranks to kill him? We share our thoughts on the storytelling, artwork, and when to "Hurl a Berl". But most of all, we learn some great new Star Wars expletives on the level of "Dank Farrik!" That's some Hockaleg, right there.

Today in Star Wars History -February 25, 1986 Return Of The Jedi was released on VHS and Betamax for $79.99. This is the first time a film is released worldwide on home video to help reduce piracy.

And since this is the 35th entry in the MCU, we’ll tell you some of the surprising Marvel films and TV shows you should brush up on before watching. This is what we wish we would have known going in.

We did it - our 500th episode!!! To celebrate this milestone we do what we do best - talk about Star Wars. We are so excited to take on one of our biggest discussions ever - comparing and contrasting all seven of the live action Star Wars Disney+ series.

We go over the final confrontations, how each show progresses the world of Star Wars, how each series ended but left an opening for another season, and lots more. We look forward to seeing how your ranking compares to ours.

Today in Star Wars History Cartoon Network airs the episode “Witches of the Mist” from Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Secrets Revealed Season Three. Written by Katie Lucas.

FORTUNE COOKIE: “The path to evil may bring great power, but not loyalty.”

Opress returns to Mother Talzin who tells him to find his long-lost and exiled brother who will teach him how to become a powerful warrior. With his mission set, Opress leaves. Talzin then turns to her crystal orb where a fractured image of Maul materializes.

This was part of the arc that was shown at the touring Clone Wars screenings in 2011. This arc kicked off screening Star Wars television episodes at fan events.

We break down issue 51: Resurrection of Evil from June 1981! There is a new super weapon being constructed called the Tarkin. Our heroes are sent to bring down this technological terror, and at the same time there is a plot within the Empire to kill Darth Vader!

In the past, Marvel has tied-in Kenner action figures and playsets. Is that what they are doing here with the Scout Walker vehicle? Or was it because they wanted to feature the cool 2-legged walker seen in The Empire Strikes Back for 2 seconds.

Today in Star Wars History Disney+ streams the episode, “Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa” from The Book of Boba Fett which Guest stars Danny Trejo as the Rancor Keeper. (Does Danny Trejo make an appearance in this episode’s Marvel comic?)

In “The Streets of Mos Espa” the Hutt Twins come to Boba Fett’s palace and offer their apologies for sending Black Krrsantan to kill him.

This Book of Boba Fett episode also features the BEST Behind the scenes Easter Egg ever! During the speeder chase where the mods were pursuing the Mayor’s majordomo, one of the mods crashes through a Ralph McQuarrie painting of Jabba’s court from Return of the Jedi.

#51 “RESURRECTION OF EVIL" Release Date: June 16, 1981 Writer: David Michelinie Artwork: Walt Simonson, Tom Palmer Cover Art: Walt Simonson

General Rieekan receives word from Rebel spies that the Galactic Empire is constructing a new superweapon known as the Tarkin. Realizing the danger the new weapon poses, Rieekan sends for Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Lando C and the droids. The Rebel heroes are sent to infiltrate the Tarkin, however Darth Vader observes as they arrive and sets events in motion to capture his long sought after adversary, Luke Skywalker. But little does the Dark Lord know that some of his own men are secretly plotting against him due to his vicious punishments imposed against their fellow Imperial officers.

With all the talk about Crimson Jack in Skeleton Crew we felt this was a perfect time to share another Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics episode! Issue #108 “Forever Crimson!” (2019), is a special continuation of Issue #50 “The Crimson Forever” (1981). This was part of Marvel’s 80th Anniversary celebration in 2019 where they added this issue 33 years after the classic Star Wars series ended in 1986.

Richard and Sarah break down “Forever Crimson!” - it’s story, artwork, and the HUGE amount of Star Wars EU Easter eggs! Jaxxon and Amaiza are back! Valance the Hunter and Domina Tagge make an appearance. This comic even references vornskr and the witches of Dathomir. Could there be more references to pop culture in this comic than SKELETON CREW?? Let’s find out.

We recommend watching the video version (above) of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.

#108 “FOREVER CRIMSON" Release Date: May 29, 2019 Writer: Matthew Rosenberg Artwork: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Andrea Broccardo, Kerry Gammill, Ze Carlos, Jan Duursema, Stefano Landini, Luke Ross, Cam Smith, Chris Sotomayer, and Leonard Kirk Cover Art: Walt Simonson and Antonio Fabela

The cosmic civil war is over! The Empire has fallen. The tyrannical Dark Lords of the Sith who ruled the galaxy, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, are destroyed, and the heroic Rebel Alliance has restored freedom to the star systems with the formation of the New Republic.

But a long-forgotten threat, one more terrible than even the Sith, is still out there in the wilds of deep space, and its return could annihilate all life in the galaxy! Once again, only the freedom fighters Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo can hope to stand against the forces of evil. This is their story!

Are you ready for a Super-Sized 50th COLLECTORS ISSUE with ALL of your favorite Star Wars characters?? This is it - “The Crimson Forever!” from 1981. 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. This virus leaves its victims with blood red eyes, red skin, and slows down your life functions until it just kills you.

Leia remembers a story Han told her about red crystals and summons Lando and Chewbacca back to their new base. Chewbacca retells the story of how he and Han were captured and forced to retrieve the crystals from a temple. This story may hold the answer as to saving Luke’s life from this deadly illness.

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.

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. It goes on to sell 4 million copies and becomes the best-selling symphonic album of all time.

We celebrate the 10th anniversary of the novel, Star Wars: A New Dawn, by John Jackson Miller! Published on September 2, 2014, this book details the first meeting of Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus which led to the series premiere of STAR WARS REBELS. A New Dawn marks the first novel published under the rebooted Star Wars canon - and all the previous Expanded Universe novels were rebranded “Legends”. What is the legacy of this novel? How does it hold up today? And where is Chopper?? Richard and Sarah go into the story, the legacy, and also share clips from Vanessa Marshall (voice of Hera) and Dave Filoni, who wrote the foreword to this novel.

Do you recall Prince Denid from THE LAST JEDI? Do you remember Luke’s red-bladed lightsaber, or his tryst with an Imperial captain? No? Then I’m wondering if you know THE LAST JEDI at all!

Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and the droids bring Prince Denid and his guardian Jedi-diah, a Force-wielder who refused the call to be a Jedi knight, to the planet Velmor. There, Denid will take his rightful place on the throne before his Imperial-sympathizer brother is appointed.

Will he make it in time before the Empire can assassinate him and the Rebel heroes? It all comes down to the Star Wars Hunger Games!

This D23: Ultimate Fan Event 2024 celebrated The Sherman Brothers in a big way. They have contributed so much to Disney’s legacy, so we wanted to take this episode to pay our own special tribute to them. Walt Disney hired Richard and Robert Sherman in 1960 to be the Walt Disney Studios ONLY in-house composers, and they worked on such classics like Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, The Parent Trap, “The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room”, “it’s a small world after all”, and hundreds more. Richard and Sarah give a brief history of the Sherman Brothers and share our personal stories meeting Richard Sherman.

Then, sit back and listen to the entire “Road To Cherry Tree Lane: Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins” panel, recorded at D23 2024. Disney music historian Randy Thornton hosted this panel in which he shares how Walt’s daughters Diane and Sharon, Davy Crockett, Disneyland/Vista Records, and Annette Funicello were all crucial intersections on “The Road to Cherry Tree Lane ” and Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins. You’ll hear some great history, and also audio excerpts from the story meetings between the Sherman Brothers and P.L. Travers - writer of Mary Poppins books. If you watch this episode on YouTube, you’ll see a slideshow of images to go along with the panel.

Prepare yourself, because the tributes continue! During the D23 Disney Parks Showcase panel at The Honda Center on 8/10/24, Meghan Trainor stepped onstage to sing "Feed The Birds", and we've included an excerpt here.

Today in Star Wars History - 8/19/1973 Happy Birthday Ahmed Best! For the Star Wars Prequels, Ahmed Best provided the motion capture and voice for Jar Jar Binks who was the first fully-computer-generated supporting character in a feature film.

He also provided the voice for Jar Jar in Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and has a cameo as Achk Med-Beq in Attack of the Clones.

Ahmed returned to the Star Wars saga in a flashback to Order 66 in The Mandalorian episode, “Chapter 20: The Foundling,” He is the Jedi Kelleran Beq who saves Grogu. Best had previously appeared as Kelleran Beq when he hosted the children’s game show, Jedi Temple Challenge.

LFG with Deadpool & Wolverine!! In this episode, we discuss the film that broke all R-rated box office records and made $444 billion in its opening weekend - DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE. We’ll give our opinions, explain some cameos, and share sound bytes from Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman about their beloved characters. We also have some behind-the-scenes info from D&W composer Rob Simonsen, courtesy of San Diego Comic-Con! This is an in-depth, awesome discussion so YES, there will be SPOILERS.

Today in Star Wars History - 7/31/2001 Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade become parents to Ben Skywalker in The New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory II: Rebirth, written by Greg Keyes. This is the second book of The New Jedi Order duology that is contained within the 19-part New Jedi Order series.

Mark Hamill: "Pablo Hidalgo just told me about this. It doesn't surprise me. Somebody's using their head. George had talked about me handing Excalibur down to the ‘new young hopefuls’ if there ever was a sequel trilogy. it makes sense that Ben ends up being the most influential person in Luke's life. I'm glad the caretakers are doing such a good job with the galaxy."

Our ACOLYTE breakdown continues! THE ACOLYTE marks the 5th live-action Disney+ Star Wars series. We’ve seen the entire first season, so now it’s time to share our educated review. We invited Mike Celestino (Laughing Place/ Who’s the Bossk) to join us in sharing our favorite moments, surprises, and cameos. What is Qimir’s relationship with Darth Plagueis? Should season 2 be R-rated? Will there be a season 2? And did the soundtrack by Michael Abels stand the test of time? Tell us if you agree with our assessment.

If you haven't already, listen to Part 1 of our series review with creature performer & actor Dee Tails (Rogue One, Solo, The Force Awakens). He played Senator Chuwant and had some great behind-the-scenes stories.

Creature performer & actor Dee Tails (Rogue One, Solo, The Force Awakens) joins us to talk about his role as Senator Chuwant and shooting the finale for THE ACOLYTE! He upheld a J.J. Abrams tradition when playing this character - do you know what it is? You can meet Dee at our Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and he will also be signing on July 29 during the Virtual Cantina tour at Scum & Villainy in Hollywood.

We planned on having Dee on the same show as our ACOLYTE breakdown with Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s The Bossk) but there was so much to each part that we separated them and our full breakdown will come out in just a few days. Stay tuned!

Today in Star Wars History - 7/21/1978 Due to its overwhelming popularity, the theatrical run for Star Wars extends another seven weeks. Although some may call this a re-release, however it was never pulled from theaters. Fun Facts:

A new poster is created for this extended release featuring artwork by Charlie White III and Drew Struzan.
A monaural audio mix with extra lines of dialogue and sound effects was included in these additional prints. Extra dialogue includes C-3PO’s line about cutting the Death Star’s tractor beam to allow the Millennium Falcon to leave, and the Stormtrooper shouting to “Close the blast doors,” while chasing Han Solo and Chewbacca through the Death Star corridors. Before this we only heard “Open the blast doors!”
The number of film prints totals 1,756 for this release which is an industry record. 300 more prints is added the next week which is the first time a film played in more than 2,000 theaters.
Because of a clause in their contract, the only theater to continue playing Star Wars following the seven week extension is the Westgate Theater outside of Portland, Oregon. Following the 76 week run, Star Wars continues there until 11/07/1978.

Imagine an alternate universe where another set of podcasters were also breaking down classic comics. Well, that universe just collided with ours! Andrew Kilpatrick and Phil Oberholzer of the podcast THIS IS GETTING GRAPHIC join us to break down 1982’s Classic Marvel Star Wars Annual #2!! I don’t know when we’ve laughed so hard while doing a comics episode!

What does this comic issue have in common with The High Republic? Will Han Solo become the next Satab? And what would a Star Wars x Kojak cross-over look like? All these questions will be answered in this KING-SIZE EPISODE of over 2 hours long!!

We recommend watching the video version of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.

Star Wars Annual #2 “SHADESHINE" Release Date: August 17, 1982 Writer: David Michelinie Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Rudi Nebres, George Roussos Cover Art: Carmine Infantino, Rudi Nebres

Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and C-3PO evade Imperial Stormtroopers when they duck inside a palace containing a giant golden statue of Han Solo. The Rebels are puzzled until Rov Vetter Pin appears, declaring that Solo is the savior of the planet Ventooine. He activates a recording of Solo's voice which recounts the story of how Solo saved the planet.

Solo and Chewbacca were traveling to Ventooine to deal in Sansanna spice. When Solo is run out of the Cantina when he is labeled a supporter of the Satab, he saves Tieress Chrysalla, the consort to the Satab. Solo is brought back to the Satab's palace as a hero where he discovers that the Satab rules the planet through the use of a stone known as the Shade-shine.

Because of his heroics, Solo is placed in line to take the title of The Satab. Will he be the new ruler and at what cost? Why is there a giant gold statue in the middle of this palace? And where is Chewbacca during all this?

As usual, we take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue. Become a part of our Facebook Group to contribute!

FTOOM FAST FACTS 1. Sansanna Spice is mentioned in The Book of Boba Fett "Chapter 2: Tribes of Tatooine" and The Clone Wars, season 5 "The Revival" 2. The setting of an abandoned throne room with statues, and talking rocks, may have a tie to Claudia Gray's High Republic novel Into The Dark

In this episode, we speak with Patrick Cotnoir, co-producer of the new documentary, "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story". This documents behind-the-scenes of the hilarious “The George Lucas Talk Show” which you can see live or on YouTube. Both the documentary and talk show pay tribute to George Lucas by answering this question: what would George Lucas be like as a talk show host? “The George Lucas Talk Show” has hosted guests such as Weird Al, Ahmed Best, and Whoopi Goldberg. What would these people say to George Lucas?

Patrick Cotnoir, co-producer and talent booker, shares some great stories on both the documentary and talk show. He also helped create “The Naboo Movie: All-Star Live Reading of The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary” and we just had to get some behind-the-scenes stories of that as well! It is always great speaking with someone who has just as much love and respect for George and the Star Wars Saga. "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story" is available now on VOD.

About the Documentary: “I’m George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story” For five years, comedian Connor Ratliff has performed as retired filmmaker George Lucas in his monthly UCB NY cult comedy show, "The George Lucas Talk Show". Co-hosted by actor Griffin Newman and featuring A-list guests booked by producer Patrick Cotnoir, the show allows Connor to both exalt and poke fun at the vast world of Lucas, including Star Wars. However, Connor begins to question if the show should continue due to its ongoing stress with little financial and career gain. By following the live performances and behind the scenes for one year, the mysteries of Connor's inner self are explored in this portrait of an artist, and his own feelings on his history, value, and legacy are revealed.

THE ACOLYTE premiered on Disney+ on June 4! We review and break down the first two episodes of this mystery-thriller Star Wars series with Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s the Bossk Podcast).

Mike brings his extensive knowledge of THE HIGH REPUBLIC publishing initiative to our discussion, sharing the links between the two. He also attended THE ACOLYTE Hollywood premiere.

Richard and Sarah spoke with series showrunner and executive producer Leslye Headland during a star wars fan site roundtable, and we play her comments as they apply to our discussion. The first 30 minutes of this show starts out spoiler-free, and then we get into nitty gritty details of the first two episodes. Watch for a spoiler warning.

Do you recall the first ever expanded Star Wars Universe story waaay back in 1977? Long before Thrawn, Mara Jade, and Exar Kun there was Crimson Jack, Serji-X, and Jaxxon in Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics! Cary Gordon (Metal Geeks Podcast / Comicpalooza Podcast Manager) join us to break down these four comic issues. We go over the story, reveal lots of FTOOM Fast Facts, and share what these comics have meant to us and the greater Star Wars universe over 45 years.

Comics discussed:

Star Wars Issue #7: New Planets/New Perils
Star Wars Issue #8: Eight for Aduba-3
Star Wars Issue #9: Showdown on a Wasteland World
Star Wars Issue #10: The Behemoth from Below

We recommend watching the video version (above) of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.

Story Synopsis: After the award ceremony on Yavin 4, Han Solo and Chewbacca head out to pay their debt to Jabba the Hutt when they're attacked by pirates led by Crimson Jack! With their reward money from the Rebel Alliance stolen, the smugglers decide to lay low on the planet Aduba-3. There, they take a job defending a moisture farmer from a local gang known as the Cloud-Riders. However, they can’t defend the village alone so they hire several mercenaries, including Jaxxon!

During the Cloud Rider attack, The Behemoth, a giant reptilian monster, is summoned and Han Solo may be the village's only hope for survival.

Talking Ape hosts Richard Woloski and Kevin Toft break down the long-awaited KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.

And was Proximus Caesar inspired by Caesar the ape or Julius Caesar? We also read your comments on the film. We were surprised by the outcome. Now, go Ape…together strong!

The Dune II Popcorn bucket made its mark on pop culture over the past month, from social media mayhem to an SNL sketch! We turned to one of its creators & former STN guest, Marcus Gonzalez (Zinc Group & former Walt Disney Co. CM), to talk about how theme park and movie theater collectibles have formed their own collecting subculture. From Disney Parks favorites like the Millennium Falcon bucket & Iron Man Infinity Gauntlet sipper to movie theater exclusives like the Dune and Dungeons & Dragons 20-sided Die Popcorn Buckets, it’s a fascinating industry and Marcus shares all the details. He even gives a tease of what’s to come for The Phantom Menace anniversary release on May 3rd.

Are you ready to take a trip with us to Droid World? In the early days of Star Wars - 1981 - this comic book world was inhabited by colorful and vengeful warbots! Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C-3P0 go on an adventure and we are here for it! Richard and Sarah share their thoughts as they read through this classic Marvel comic. Do you remember reading it? Did you listen to the adapted book-and-record The Further Adventures: Droid World (1983)? Or is this your first time?

We recommend watching the video version (above) of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.

Star Wars collector referenced in the episode.

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #47 “DROID WORLD" Release Date: February 24, 1981 Writer: Archie Goodwin Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Gene Day, Glynis Wein Cover Art: James Sherman and Frank Miller

The Rebel Alliance has captured a damaged Imperial warbot and request assistance from the cyborg Kligson of the droid-populated space station to repair the droid so it can be studied.

Kligson agrees to fix the droid, but R2-D2 and C-3PO must accompany the warbot to observe the operation since Kligson intends to keep it after it's repaired. However things go sideways as an ex-imperial has other ideas.

Check out some of our previous episodes and articles:

This is a discussion with Eddie Munster himself - Butch Patrick! Richard grew up watching Butch Patrick in just about everything from Shazam (1974), Lidsville (1971-72), The Phantom Tollbooth (1970), The Munsters (1964-66), and The Monkees 1967 Christmas episode. In that episode Butch plays Melvin Vandersnoot, a child of 10 going on 65 with no Christmas spirit. Of course, The Monkees change that by the end, and it’s a heartwarming tale that Richard and Sarah watch every year on Christmas day. Butch Patrick shares behind-the-scenes stories of working as a child actor in all of these nostalgic series and films. We recommend watching the YouTube version of this show because Richard spent a long time editing in clips of the various stories he shares: https://youtu.be/GVqsOVH2m0E

If you love theme parks, then you are going to love this episode! Courtney & Kelly Turckel (Neverland Clubhouse) join us to compare and contrast Disneyland Resort to Universal Studios Hollywood - ranking them in terms of price, experience, attractions, food, theming and more.

Richard and Sarah conceived of this episode back in December, when our top-level Disneyland Magic Keys blocked us out of that theme park over the Christmas holiday. So we did some research and bought the top-level Platinum Annual Passes to Universal Studios Hollywood and had an amazing time! Universal has really stepped it up with the addition of Wizarding World and Super Nintendo World, so we thought this was a great time to compare the two theme parks. Courtney & Kelly have had annual passes to both Universal and Disneyland for over 5 years now, so they are experts.

We share our opinions here, but we would love to hear yours! Please share on our social media.

What is the Genie from Aladdin doing in a Classic Marvel Star Wars comic? And why is it purple? Who is Cody Sunn-Childe? How does this comic relate to the Mortis Arc and World Between Worlds in Star Wars? Richard and Sarah answer all of these questions as they meticulously delve into Issue #46 "Dreadnaught Devourer" OR "The Dreams of Cody Sunn-Childe."

We recommend watching the video version on YouTube which contains the full comic as we page through it.

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #46 “DREADNAUGHT DEVOURER" Release Date: January 20, 1981 Writer: Wally Lombego - AKA J.M. DeMatteis Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Tom Palmer, Glynis Wein Cover Art: Ed Hannigan and Tom Palmer

While Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca are off to rescue Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon encounters problems with a warp engine while in hyperspace which causes the ship to enter another dimension.

They come upon a mysterious floating domed city, and discover that this city is the psychic creation of Lando’s long lost hero - Cody Sunn-Childe. Years ago, Cody turned his back on his violent and savage past when he discovered his powerful mystical ability and so created his City of Dreams to live with his friends in peace away from the Galactic Civil War.

Lando rejects Cody's views claiming that there are times that violence is necessary to win a war, and what good is this power and hidden city when there are millions of people on the other side who are dying because of the Empire.

Meanwhile, the Empire has located the city and Cody has a life-altering decision to make.

Law Professor B.J. Priester (FanGirl Blog) joins us to share the ins and outs of public domain and trademarks, especially as it applies to beloved characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse. It has been 95 years since the introduction of Disney’s iconic mice and Tigger, which means anyone can use these characters without Disney’s consent. However, it’s a bit more complicated, and so much more interesting, than that, so BJ helps to break it all down, as only a lawyer can!

This weekend was the runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon at Disneyland! The FIRST one in SEVEN years! Sarah ran the Disneyland 10k and has stories, thoughts and pictures to share. We recorded this episode on Richard’s birthday, so please wish our illustrious co-host a happy one!

Who animated the iconic BOBA FETT in THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL? John Celestri! John joins us in a fascinating discussion on the inception and animation of “The Faithful Wookiee” animated short from The Star Wars Holiday Special. Since he was the senior animator at Nelvana Studios, John had his pick of characters from the special, so he took on Boba Fett, of course. Our discussion includes answers to burning questions: Exactly which Moebius designs propelled the look of “The Faithful Wookiee”? How does one animate a helmeted character with no eyes or mouth? Why do all the characters, including Han, Leia, and Luke, only have 4 fingers on each hand?

John Celestri just released a fascinating book with the animation script and character model sheets. Check it out and purchase it here!

Time to head back in time and revisit Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics! We break down the fourth issue of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Marvel comics adaptation - BOUNTY HUNTERS. How is the artwork? What are our fond memories of this cover? And just how much does this issue feature the bounty hunters? This issue also contains Sarah's favorite love scene in all of STAR WARS - how does the comic measure up???

This episode also contains our tribute to PAUL REUBENS and some heart-felt memories.

Watch the video version with the full comic above, or listen to the audio podcast here:

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #42 “To Be A Jedi" Description: Title: "The Empire Strikes Back: To Be A Jedi" Release Date: September 23, 1980 Writer: Archie Goodwin, based on the script by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan from the story by George Lucas Artwork: Al Williamson, Carlos Garzón, & Glynis Wein Cover Art: Al Williamson & Carlos Garzón

Synopsis:

Luke meets a green (not purple) gnome after he crashed his X-wing in a Dagobah swamp. He soon learns that this is the Jedi Master he was instructed to find by Ben Kenobi. Meanwhile, Han has hidden the Millennium Falcon inside of an asteroid cave only to realize it was not a cave at all. Aboard his Star Destroyer, Darth Vader has assembled a motley crew of Bounty Hunters to find the Falcon with the distinct command - “No disintegrations!”

I miss Eddie Murphy! Haunted Mansion is in my top three attractions at the Disney parks. I enjoyed Eddie Murphy’s Haunted Mansion (2003). I absolutely loved Muppets Haunted Mansion. We have Haunted Mansion Christmas tree ornaments! Can you imagine how excited I was to see this new iteration of HAUNTED MANSION?

It saddens me to say this version lost me from the beginning. It was very hard to root for the protagonist when you think he’s a jerk. Let’s back up here and summarize the uninspired plot. Single mother Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her nine-year old son Travis (Chase Dillon) move into the mansion with the hopes of turning it into a bed and breakfast. Very quickly they realize the house is haunted! However, they never appear frightened when freaky occurrences happen such as when a suit of armor suddenly appears right behind them. I don’t know about you but at that point I’d be scrambling for my car keys!

Father Kent (Owen Wilson) pops into the story and enlists the help of grieving astrophysicist Ben (LaKeith Stanfield). We then take a Wizard of Oz detour as the two enlist more help from psychic Harriet (Tiffany Haddish) and then visit haunted house historian Prof. Bruce Davis (Danny Devito) only to steal his blueprints to the mansion. When that plan goes awry, Davis ends up joining the ghost buster group. Now this overpacked cast has to rid the house of the ghosts and the ghost that is haunting the ghosts!

When Ben arrives at the mansion with his camera that can photograph dark matter, he is paid $2,000 for his services. He doesn’t believe any of these hauntings are real so he couldn’t even be bothered to take actual pictures but instead make a “click” sound with his mouth. That is what I meant when I said it is hard to root for a protagonist who I think is a jerk. If you’re not going to do the work then give Gabbie back her $2,000! This really irritated me.

No Direction! Maybe this film was just too big for director Justin Simien (“Dear White People,” “Bad Hair"). Performances were out of sync with the scenes.

If it’s a scary scene, the characters should be frightened, not just slightly taken aback. With a dream team cast like this who can work circles around this material, you have to look towards the director for bringing the right reactions from the scene. Rosario Dawson has nothing to do in the film, but if two or three characters had been cut out (or more to the point SHOULD have been cut out) it would have given her something to do.

Another A-lister in the cast is Jared Leto as the Hatbox ghost. He was a CGI character and when he spoke there was so much reverb you couldn’t understand what he was saying. They could’ve saved even more by cutting out the unnecessary cameos. I was excited to see Dan Levy but his insignificant role as a counterpart to Winona Ryder’s tour guide at Crump Manor took away more than it gave.

When the film detoured into the backstory of Alistair Crump (AKA The Hatbox Ghost), the film got exciting! I love backstories on villains since they often come from a sympathetic place. (Big kudos for paying homage to Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump who was a leading artist in the Haunted Mansion attraction.)

Will the Hatbox Ghost save the day? I really liked the concept of the Hatbox Ghost holding the 999 other happy haunts to increase his power and bring terror to the world. But it just made me want even more of Alistair Crump's story. At this point we’ve seen enough Haunted Mansions iterations, let’s focus on the characters who inhabit the mansion and their stories! Jamie Lee Curtis was wonderful as Madame Leota in both her corporeal state and housed in her crystal ball. The film really came alive (no pun intended) when these characters were brought into the story and I was excited to learn more about them. The excitement was short-lived since the film had to get back to the main plot of grief for both Ben and Gabbie who had lost a loved one and now have to move on with their lives.

There are plenty of Easter Eggs and references that will make Haunted Mansion fans excited. However, the couple I sat next to had no idea what any of the references were since they kept whispering, “I don’t get it.” Since Simien is a huge fan of the attraction it did look like he had a blast sprinkling in stretching walls, hitchhiking ghosts, portrait ghosts, the Duelists, and concept art. And of course, what Haunted Mansion iteration would be complete without the earworm that is “Grim Grinning Ghosts.” That theme permeates the film with plenty of iterations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSaqSVi--Ms HAUNTED MANSION has been HOCUS POCUSed! Unfortunately I don’t see HAUNTED MANSION making back its $150 million budget anytime soon. I would really like to know why Disney thought to release Haunted Mansion in the middle of summer instead of closer to Halloween. You’d think they would have learned from the dismal box office of Hocus Pocus when that Halloween-themed film was released in July of 1993. Unlike Hocus Pocus, it’s unlikely this film will build a cult audience or ever have a nostalgic resurgence. At the end of the Disney park attraction, a ghost hauntingly tells guests to “hurry back.” Sorry that won’t be happening here.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2023, I attended my first Star Trek Hall H panel - an interesting affair due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. I was not expecting to see any actors from our favorite new Star Trek series like Strange New Worlds, but I did expect to hear from a director or producer. However, the panel began with one moderator - Scott Mantz (Film Critic, Variety) - and he remained the single person on stage sharing new footage from upcoming Star Trek series.

Scott began by explaining his Star Trek super-fandom which began at the age of five, then went on to warn us that this would be a content-heavy panel. Indeed it was! Much of this content you can see now, so I’ll share with you what we learned, and any links to content you can view right now.

The excitement levels of the crowd started on a high with a beautifully edited sequence that mixed all the matching scenes from The Original Series, The Next Generation, Star Trek (2009), and all the other Star Trek series through Strange New Worlds. All the Captains said “their thing”, the various Star Trek ships all jumped to warp, kissing scenes, friendship scenes, and more. This 3-minute sequence made us all tear up!

As the panel waxed on, however, I felt the crowd’s excitement begin to wane as we realized that we were only going to view content, and not hear directly from current Star Trek creators and producers like Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, and Kirsten Beyer. This was unlike any Hall H panel I’d ever attended, and certainly a small let-down.

Let’s go over all the footage we saw, and then I’ll share my thoughts on the entire experience.

Star Trek Discovery Season 5 of Star Trek Discovery is currently scheduled for an early 2024 release on Paramount+, and we were able to view the first 5 minutes of footage. You can too!

The new clip features Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and season five’s newest cast members Callum Keith Rennie as Rayner, Elias Toufexis as L’ak and Eve Harlow as Moll. This fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. Sounds a bit like INDIANA JONES, don’t you think?

Star Trek: Lower Decks Star Trek: Lower Decks is an animated series boasting a tongue-in-cheek commentary of lower deck officers on a low-ranking ship in Starfleet - the opposite of the high-stakes flagship Enterprise featured in many Star Trek series and films! Scott Mantz announced that season 4 will premiere with two episodes on Thursday, September 7, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Paramount+ international markets exclusively on the service.

In season four, an unknown force is destroying starships and threatening galactic peace. Luckily, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos isn’t important enough for stuff like that! Instead, Ensigns Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Tendi (Noël Wells), and Rutherford (Eugene Cordero) are keeping up with their Starfleet duties, avoiding malevolent computers and getting stuck in a couple caves – all while encountering new and classic aliens along the way. Here is the trailer:

Strange New Worlds Season 2 of Strange New Worlds is airing on Paramount+, and Star Trek fans, including me, love the series. Therefore, those of us musical-loving fans freaked out when Mantz confirmed that the series would get the first Star Trek Musical episode in the franchise’s history!!! Want to see a trailer???

The special musical episode “Subspace Rhapsody” will feature 10 original songs, plus a “Subspace Rhapsody” version of the series’ main title, with music and lyrics by Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo) and Tom Polce (Letters to Cleo, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). The episode will stream on Thursday, August 3. Please click HERE to pre-save the “Subspace Rhapsody” soundtrack on all available digital music streaming platforms.

In season two of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, confronts increasingly dangerous stakes, explores uncharted territories and encounters new life and civilizations. The series stars Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley, Ethan Peck as Spock, and Jess Bush as Christine Chapel.

After all this fun footage, Scott Mantz led the panel to its’ crescendo: a screening of the much-anticipated Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover episode, “Those Old Scientists”. I always enjoy watching an episode in a room full of thousands of fans. It’s an opportunity to experience our favorite geek content together, and feel special because you are the first.

But this experience was lessened when Mantz announced that this episode would stream on Paramount+ within the hour! We weren’t expecting it until next week, 7/27, so to hear that our 5-day special preview was cut down to an hour hurt a tiny bit - especially for those that had waited hours to be in Hall H. Want to watch that episode right now? Head to Paramount+.

In general, the Star Trek panel definitely made the news and shared lots of new content, but will it be a panel I’ll remember in my top 5 favorites? Most certainly not. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to fully embrace my burgeoning Star Trek fandom by attending a mind-blowing Hall H Star Trek panel. To the future - Engage!

Time to head back in time and revisit Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics! Cris Macht of Machtails from the Cantina joins us to break down the third issue of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Marvel comics adaptation. How is the artwork? What are our fond memories? And how does this issue relate with ROGUE ONE?

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #41 “Imperial Pursuit" Description: Title: "The Empire Strikes Back: Imperial Pursuit" Release Date: September 2, 1980 Writer: Archie Goodwin, based on the script by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan from the story by George Lucas Artwork: Al Williamson, Carlos Garzón, & Glynis Wein Cover Art: Al Williamson & Carlos Garzón

Our Star Wars month celebration continues with the 40th anniversary of RETURN OF THE JEDI! Authors Justin Berger and Jamie Benning share details of their NEW book, Return of the Jedi Unauthorized Timeline, out June 1st.

We (Richard and Sarah) then recap Comic-Con Revolution: our Star Wars Trivia panel, book sales, and meeting TIMOTHY ZAHN.

Then it’s on to Star Wars news this past week, which unfortunately included sad events. Ray Stevenson passed away on Sunday May 21. Many fans first heard him as the voice of Gar Saxxon on THE CLONE WARS and STAR WARS REBELS, and most recently we all cheered him and his enthusiasm at Star Wars Celebration Europe when he was promoting AHSOKA.

Then Disney announced that the Galactic Starcruiser will journey on its final voyage in September, and we are sad to see this go.

Learn how Carrie Fisher’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was made!! Our friend, Lavonne Dominguez of Liningup.net, took part in this very special, once-in-a-lifetime experience. She and 5 other LiningUp.net members spent a day in Hollywood pouring cement, blow-torching Carrie Fisher’s name-plate, cutting out the star, and signing their names - all while spreading TONS of glitter in and around Carrie Fisher’s Star. Be sure to watch the video podcast above to see photos that correspond to her descriptions. It’s absolutely fascinating.

Augusta Avallone is a treasure-trove of sci-fi costume knowledge, and a talented seamstress! She worked in the costume departments of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Trek Picard S3, and Loki. She also hosts a great panel, “History of Sci-Fi Costumes” which we saw at WonderCon and she tours around to many conventions. Costumes speak to the audience and tell them exactly what you need to know about characters. From natural fabrics and armor to lamé and spandex, science fiction has a rich history in the manner characters are represented. We learn about this history, and dive deep into the costume departments of all the shows she’s worked on.

Then, we take a turn and talk about Augusta’s second career - as a Burlesque dancer! This is quite the episode.

Tuesday, April 18 was the first Disneyland After Dark Throwback Nite - celebrating the 1950’s and 60’s of Disneyland. Richard and Sarah share their experience - would they do it again? Listen and find out!

If behind-the-scenes stories are your jam, listen to this fantastic discussion with Jabba the Hutt sculptor, John Coppinger! When you first saw Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi, did you have an instant reaction to his look? We can thank John Coppinger for being an intrinsic part of that response. He also puppeteered Jabba’s eyes on set every chance he got. What amazing stories! John also came back to work on, and perform, many characters in The Phantom Menace. His resume includes the first three Harry Potter films, The Fifth Element, The Dark Crystal and more.

You can even meet John Coppinger and get his autograph at Boonta Eve - the pre-Celebration Bash in London on April 6. Many thanks to Spencer Jawitz and Frank Rich for this discussion!

It is always exciting to speak with someone involved in the original Star Wars trilogy who can give us first-hand stories of what it was really like to work on these epic films. Alan Fying was a Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, and a Hoth Soldier in The Empire Strikes Back, and an Imperial Officer in Return of the Jedi. He shares never-before-heard, knock-your-socks-off stories about the making of Star Wars. If you see him signing autographs at Boonta Eve on April 6th, think up a fun question - Alan will give you a fun answer!

Thanks to Spencer Jawitz and Frank Rich for helping to set up our conversation with Alan. Thank you to Simon Wilkie (C-3P0) for the birthday message.

What kinds of storytelling can we look forward to in Season 2? How does Dee keep all the Clone voices straight in a recording session? How do Michelle and Dee connect during recording sessions?

Return of the Jedi artist Marilee Heyer joins us in her podcasting debut to share some amazing stories! In 1982, Marilee was hired to “pretty things up” on the upcoming Star Wars sequel, Revenge of the Jedi. Thanks to a sfgate.com article written by Andrew Pridgen, we now know that her artwork for the film had not been properly credited. Now with even more of her art resurfacing on comic covers and Art Of… books, we thought it was the perfect time to hear her story and thank her for her contribution to Star Wars.

Are you ready for ANDOR?? This 4th live-action Star Wars series airs the first three episodes on September 21, 2022, and we've been waiting almost two months to share our review with you!! We hope to answer a very important question - whether to cuss or not in the Star Wars universe.

This episode is broken up into two sections - the first is a spoiler-free section that contains an overview of the series, plus the various characters and places to know before you watch. This section also contains part of a Roundtable interview with Adria Arjona, who plays Bix Caleen. She shares some great insight into her character and the town of Ferrix. At 40:43, we get into the spoiler discussion which contains major plot points for the first three episodes. So make sure to listen only after you've watched all three.

ANDOR Synopsis Created by Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated writer/director/producer Tony Gilroy, ANDOR takes place around five years before ROGUE ONE. This series answers the question: How does Cassian become a Rebel hero? ANDOR follows both the Rebel cells and Imperial Security officers to show what the galaxy and people were like between REVENGE OF THE SITH and A NEW HOPE. It's an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue.

Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg (“Chernobyl”), Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan are the executive producers of the series.

Character Round-Up Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) A refugee from the planet Kenari, he has made his home on Ferrix for several years. Ferrix is a small blue-collar planet with a really strong community. It is not part of the Empire. Cassian owes money to everybody, he has a string of ex-girlfriends, and his mom is on his case all the time because he has not lived up to his potential.

Maarva Andor (Fiona Shaw) (L-R): B2EMO and Maarva (Fiona Shaw) in Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. She is a motherly figure in Cassian's life. She has been a prosperous businesswoman on Ferrix and now she is respected but aging. Cassian is a disappointment to her.

B2-EMO (or “B”) (L-R): B2EMO and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. Maarva and Cassian's boxy droid companion, with the ability to shrink in size.

Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) Bix owns a salvage yard on Ferrix, and also has had a romantic history with Cassian. Though it’s clear they are ex’s, they still care about each other. She's hard-working, handy, and strong.

Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) He is part of a Rebel Cell with Mon Mothma, and both disguise themselves as someone else to get by in heavily Imperial places like Coruscant. According to Tony Gilroy, Luthen "is the master puppeteer of our show. He is the character that links many characters, and he comes at the revolution with an incredible intensity."

Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) She is an Imperial senator, working her way into becoming the Rebel leader we know from RETURN OF THE JEDI and other series and films. This series allows us to explore what she is like in her day-to-day life. Her home on Coruscant, how she is a very public figure with a very private secret of supporting the Rebellion.

Syril Carn (Kyle Soller) Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in a scene from Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. Syril is Deputy Inspector for the corporate authority on Morlana One. A Pre-Mor employee that takes great pride in his job and his uniform. His journey will lead him to be the primary antagonist for Cassian.

Dedra Meero (Denise Goff) (L-R): Attendant Heert (Jacob James Beswick) and Supervisor Dedra Meero (Denise Gough) in Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. Dedra is an ambitious Supervisor with the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB). Her main focus is to find patterns of Rebel activity and subvert them. She is also a primary antagonist for Cassian.

ANDOR Places and Planets Pre-Mor Security (Counterclockwise, from far left): Sergeant Mosk (Alex Ferns), Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) and Maarva (Fiona Shaw) in a scene from Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. This security firm oversees the planet of Ferrix, among others. Before the Empire has complete occupation, they will use the current security and police infrastructure already in place. One of the supervisors is Syril Karn (the main antagonist) who really wants to prove himself to the Empire and capture Cassian, but things don’t always go his way.

R2-D2 and C-3PO visited Sesame Street in 1980, and now we’re going to discuss all 5 TV segments with someone who was there: Craig Miller, Director of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm!

We are always excited to have our friend Craig Miller on the show. His years at Lucasfilm are well documented in his book, Star Wars Memories: My Time in the (Death Star) Trenches. Some of these stories include how he instigated Star Wars on Sesame Street as part of a mandate to keep Star Wars in the general zeitgeist between 1977 and 1980 (when Empire Strikes Back was released).

Today in Star Wars History: Part 1 - January through June: Your Daily Star Wars History Lesson (Today in Star Wars History - The Series)

Even though we are just under a month until the premiere of Star Wars: ANDOR on Disney+, we are going to whet your appetite here with audio and our thoughts from the virtual press day! Not only did we learn a lot from a virtual press conference, Sarah and Richard joined Star Wars fan site roundtables featuring the cast, including Diego Luna.

While it was a joy to talk with Star Wars alums Diego Luna (“Cassian Andor” and Executive Producer), Genevieve O’Reilly (“Mon Mothma”), and Tony Gilroy (Executive Producer / Writer / Showrunner), the true surprise and delight turned out to be Star Wars newbies Kyle Soller (“Syril Karn”) and Denise Gough (“Dedra Meero”). The two were paired for their roundtable and hinted at a romantic arc for their characters. In their words, “an evil love story.”

Others joining in the virtual press conference include Adria Arjona (“Bix Caleen”) and host Joe Neumaier, film critic for the New York Daily News.

Star Wars: ANDOR Synopsis: ANDOR follows Cassian Andor played by Diego Luna, who reprises his role from ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. As you may have guessed this is not a sequel to ROGUE ONE but a prequel that follows Cassian’s journey from young man to Rebel, 5 years before the events of the film. It also gives us a perspective on the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire.

Hulk out with us as we share a She-Hulk comic book primer, and our thoughts on the latest Disney+ Marvel series, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law!! Then it’s time for some controversial Disneyland Magic Key discussion.

She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Synopsis: At heart, this new Marvel Disney+ series is a 30-minute comedy, following the beats of an enjoyable half-hour comedy series.

Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) is a single 30-something woman with a career as an attorney. Not only must she navigate dating and her job, but she also recently became imbued with hulk-powers, and can transform into a green 6 ft 7 in hulk. Consequently she becomes head of the Specialty division of a legal firm, focusing on superhuman-oriented legal cases.

The series is 9 episodes, and includes appearances by familiar faces. Mark Ruffalo returns as Bruce Banner/Hulk. Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong.

Disneyland Magic Keys Disneyland Magic Keys are FINALLY ready for renewal, at a big price hike. But there are a few more perks. We share our thoughts and we want to know yours.

LIGHT AND MAGIC is a 6-part documentary series now streaming on Disney+. It is masterfully directed by Lawrence Kasdan - writer of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Force Awakens, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. This phenomenal 6-part series takes you on a journey through not just the history of ILM, but the making of Star Wars and other big effects blockbusters (The Abyss, Terminator 2, Willow, Jurassic Park). We get to know the people behind these effects, and their relationships with one another.

This week Richard and I had the pleasure of participating in a series of Roundtables with director Lawrence Kasdan, legendary effects artists Dennis Muren and Phil Tippett, and Janet Lewin - Senior Vice President, Lucasfilm VFX & General Manager, ILM.

Other journalists and podcasters who asked great questions at these roundtables include Mike Celestino (Laughing Place), Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue/FanGIRL Blog), Coffee With Kenobi, Skytalkers Podcast, Star Wars Holocron, and James Burns (Jedi News).

All six parts of LIGHT AND MAGIC are streaming now on Disney+.

Today in Star Wars History: Part 1 - January through June: Your Daily Star Wars History Lesson (Today in Star Wars History - The Series)

We continue our look back at Disney classics with 2008’s animated film BOLT! David Dollar and Jenn Novotny of The Main Street Electrical Podcast join us to share their stories and thoughts on this 48th Disney animated feature. Starring John Travolta, Miley Cyrus and Susie Essman, BOLT! was directed by Chris Williams (Big Hero 6) and Byron Howard (Tangled/Zootopia). BOLT! marks the end of the studio’s early 2000’s growing pains, and we explore all the ways in which this movie is a stepping stone into Disney’s Renaissance Revival beginning with 2009’s Princess and the Frog.

BOLT Synopsis Having spent his life on a film set, Bolt believes he has super powers. When he thinks that his “person”, 12-year-old Penny, is kidnapped, Bolt runs away to try and save her, but ends up getting shipped cross-country to NYC.

Out in the real world, Bolt accumulates a team consisting of a sarcastic alley cat named Mittens, and “Bolt super-fan” hamster named Rhino. They embark on a journey back to L.A. to find Penny, as Bolt gradually learns that he does not have powers and must learn that he belongs in the ordinary world, as an ordinary dog.

Samantha Alleyne, the first female Stormtrooper, shares so many stories about her career as actress and model. Since THE FORCE AWAKENS, she has played about 15 different parts in each Star Wars film, with crazy on-set stories for each one. What subtle pieces were changed in the Stormtrooper armor to accommodate her feminine shape? What was her most embarrassing moment on set? You’ll learn how she and her hand worked directly with Tony Gilroy to create a pivotal on-screen moment in ROGUE ONE. Samantha is also proud to be an inspiration for the next generation, especially women of color.

Samantha will also be a special guest at the Boonta Eve Cantina pre-celebration bash on May 25th, so if you will be joining us, you can meet her and get her autograph. Like Misty Rosas, she may even grace us with a karaoke song!

Misty Rosas, of The Mandalorian fame, joins us to discuss her fantastic (or should I say “Fantasmic”) career and spout wisdom as only she can! Misty played Kuiil and the Frog Lady in The Mandalorian! She shares fun behind-the-scenes production stories on set. Did you know Misty also worked at Disneyland? She was a dancing Monkey in the debut cast of Fantasmic, among many other entertainment jobs. We also get into her Yoga instructor career and how that led to the perfect line-reading that won her the job of Kuiil. She Has Spoken! Live in the YES!

If you are joining us at Boonta Eve Cantina, you will see Misty there. She will be judging the Alderaan Idol competition, and perhaps singing herself.

It’s a special Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness bonus episode! Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff, now Scarlet Witch, must contend with what they both have done to the Multiverse. In this episode, Richard and Sarah break down the film and share their thoughts on the characters, genre and scenes. Where do our favorite characters go from here?? What do we think of a horror film in the MCU? We also share your thoughts, too. As with any of our breakdowns, this episode DOES contain spoilers. Full Synopsis: The film opens as America Chavez and an alternate version of Doctor Strange flee through the space between universes to find the Book of Vishanti to stop a demon chasing them. (The Book of the Vishanti contains spells of defensive magic and is indestructible. Its counterpart, the Darkhold, contains all the knowledge of black magic).

Chavez makes it to Earth-616 and is saved by Doctor Strange and Sorcerer Supreme Wong. She tells them that she is being hunted because she has the power to travel through the multiverse.

They soon realize it was Wanda who is hunting Chavez down to gain her power so she can cross the multiverse and find her kids, Billy and Tommy. When Strange refuses to surrender Chavez, Wanda attacks Kamar-Taj, killing many acolytes. Chavez then accidentally transports herself and Strange across the multiverse to Earth-838.

While searching for help, Strange and Chavez are arrested by Earth-838's Karl Mordo and brought before the Illuminati, which consists of Mordo himself, Captain Peggy Carter (from the animated series, What If?), King Black Bolt (who is part of the Inhumans), Captain Maria Rambeau (from Captain Marvel), Doctor Reed Richards (from the FF), and Professor Charles Xavier (from the X-Men).

Mordo believes our Earth's Strange is dangerous, but before they can pass judgment, Wanda arrives and kills the Illuminati, except Mordo. Strange and Chavez escape with help from Strange's ex-fiancé Christine Palmer, who is an Illuminati scientist in this multiverse.

Escaping from Wanda, the three enter the space between universes to find the Book of Vishanti, but Wanda appears and takes over Chavez's mind, using her powers to send the others to a sinister, mostly-destroyed universe. Strange and Palmer fight the sinister universe's Strange, who has been corrupted by the Darkhold. Strange uses this Darkhold to dream-walk into the corpse of the alternate Strange which remained on Earth-616 and save Chavez. Unable to overpower Wanda, Chavez instead transports her back to Earth-838, allowing Billy and Tommy to witness her evil. The kids are terrified by Wanda, who is there as the Scarlet Witch, but after realizing how much death and destruction she's caused, Wanda uses her powers to destroy all copies of the Darkhold throughout the multiverse, seemingly sacrificing herself in the process.

Before Christine returns to Earth-838, Strange tells her that he still loves his universe's Christine but has always been too scared to have a real relationship. America begins training as a sorcerer at Kamar-Taj.

Happy May the 4th Skywalkers! Star Wars month has officially kicked off and special guest Dominic Pace is here to help us celebrate! When The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ we were all excited to see this new bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe. The series then gave us many of these fearsome hunters including the Shaara-din known as Gekko! Dominic Pace appeared as Gekko, who is not only seen in The Mandalorian but also on a tiki mug, and he has since grown into the next great ambassador in Star Wars fandom. He lives by Ashley Eckstein’s motto: Dream it, Do it.

Moon Knight, the 6th Disney+ Marvel series, has arrived! We prepare you for the entire series with a Comic Book primer, and share our thoughts on the first episode, “The Goldfish Problem.” There are so many layers to this character who first appeared in 1975 in the series Werewolf by Night. Plus having so many personalities, Moon Knight is very hard to boil down. But we did it. We gathered a lot of information and tried to focus on the highlights so it wouldn't be overwhelming. Now let's take the night with vengeance and justice and get into Moon Knight!

Premise of Marvel’s Disney+ series The series follows Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), a gift shop employee at a London museum that is currently showing an Egyptian exhibit. Steven Grant suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and is trying to figure out what is real and what is not, and he is guided along the way from another one of his identities named Marc Spector who is the avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Along the way Steven Grant must contend with Marc’s enemies like Dr. Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), as they are thrust into a deadly mystery surrounding the powerful gods of Egypt.

Who is Moon Knight as found in the comics from the 80’s? The comics focus on Marc Spector, and Steven Grant is not a lovable loser who works in a gift shop. Marc Spector served as a Marine and briefly as a CIA operative, and is left for dead by fellow mercenary named Bushman in Sudan. Spector is brought before a statue of Khonshu and before he dies, he is suddenly revived and fully healed. He claims Khonshu wants him to be the "moon's knight", redeeming his life of violence by now protecting and avenging the innocent.

On his return to the United States, MARC Spector invests his mercenary profits into becoming the crimefighter "Moon Knight". Along with his costumed alter ego, he primarily uses three other identities to gain information from different social circles: billionaire businessman Steven Grant, taxicab driver Jake Lockley, and suited consultant Mr. Knight. Sound like a familiar caped crusader? The similarities to Batman are undeniable!

There’s more, so please listen by clicking the player above for all his comic book origins, and our thoughts on the first episode!

Greetings and salutations, friends! We’re back, and we’re diving into COSPLAY, a creative pursuit that’s near and dear to our sewing machines and hot glue guns. Question 1: What is your connection to cosplay?

Sarah: It all started with Slave Leia/Hut-slayer Leia/Gold Bikini Leia and JediTink during 2007 and 2012 Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles and San Diego Comic Con
- Proto-cosplay: ‘80s Superman pajamas
- Still cosplaying?
  - Yes! Making costumes for runDisney events gives Sarah the challenge of creating cosplay that’s still functional for doing what you need to do
Bryn: The Cosplay =/= Consent episode of Skywalking Through Neverland inspired Bryn to put together her Brave Leia (Merida/Leia mash-up) for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in 2015
- Proto-cosplay: Wonder Woman Underoos
- Still cosplaying?
  - Yes, from home during the pandemic over zoom a bit
  - making costumes for the kids
  - Disneybounding! Outfits that mimic something or everything from a character using clothes and accessories you already have (see The Disneybound, BrynI had the name wrong in this episode).

Question 2: What do we want to learn about cosplaying?

LARPing! What is the difference between LARPing and cosplay?
- Live Action Role Playing: You create your character and act as that character at an all-day or multi-day event
- Cosplay: You make a costume of a character that already exists and display the costume at event or in photography
- Dungeons and Dragons
Building cosplay skills!
- Sewing classes at Joann Fabric
- Learn to make armor out of foam and stuff! (Here’s the pattern Bryn used for Sylvie’s breastplate)
- Posing without feeling like a dumb dumb

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding cosplaying?

Bryn’s excited to cosplay/Disneybound with her son at conventions in 2022! No solid ideas yet, and we have to get started!
Sarah’s holy grail cosplay: Couples cosplay of Robin Hood and Maid Marian from Disney’s animated film for Disneyland’s Sweethearts’ Nite this year
Both of us are thankful for everyday cosplay items from companies like Elhoffer Design, Her Universe, and BoxLunch. Maybe Bryn will actually find some kind of fun workout clothes.

Bonus: Basketball is a peaceful planet, please.

About Totally Tell Me Everything Two friends, one fun topic, three burning questions = lots of fun conversation! Each month we pick a topic and ask each other three questions about it - we learn about the subject, our past and each other. So come sit by us and we'll totally tell you everything!

Hello, friends! This month, we’re gabbing about THEME PARKS, a subject Sarah and Bryn have a lot of experience with.

Question 1: What was your favorite Theme Park experience as a kid, teen and adult? Kid * Not Afraid: Bryn begins with the tale of the time her former fighter pilot father took her on her first upside-down roller coaster, the Corkscrew at Knott’s Berry Farm in ‘80s Buena Park, California. * Risk-taker: Sarah’s also got a roller coaster memory for us: When it came to amusement park time for the Heitman family, the formula was Sarah and dad bonding on roller coasters, and her mom enjoying watching them from a bench with a nice coffee. Sarah’s first experience was on The Rattler at Fiesta Texas, a wooden roller coaster.

Teen * Living in an ‘80s movie: Bryn takes us for a trip to a slightly alarming teenage memory of her 8th grade field trip to Disneyland, but redeems herself with tales of sultry summer nights at all-ages dance club Studio K at Knott’s Berry Farm. Bryn didn’t know this at the time of our recording, but found out that Studio K was located in the Fiesta Village esplanade where Jaguar! now stands. * Sweet freedom: As a member of marching back from middle through high school, Sarah has plenty of band trips to various theme parks under her stylish belt. And she remembers this great sense of freedom, being unleashed at the parks without chaperones clinging tight: You’re given your stipend of money to spend and a time to return to the bus. Have at it! She felt like flying. + Biggest ride memory: Batman: The Ride for the first time. And the soundtrack theme was pumping through the line, it was at night, and it was very, very cool.

Adult * Moving to LA = Theme parks galore: Sarah discovered that when your new college friends have annual passes to Disneyland, you get an annual pass and become a regular. And she discovered that her favorite Knott’s Berry Farm is actually Knott’s Scary Farm.

Moms and Kids and Solo Moms: Of course, one of Bryn’s favorite things about theme parks has to be getting to take her kids there for the first time and watching their relationship with the parks evolve as they get older. An unexpected second discovery has been the joy of going to theme parks alone, which has been a gift to herself that has made a big impact on her.

Extra: Bryn likes themed stuff: Clifton’s Cafeterias, Old World, Madonna Inn

Question 2: What do we want to learn about Theme Parks? * Bryn dug into the difference between an amusement park and a theme park. + This article from Theme Park Insider gives a good definition of a theme park. + An amusement park generally is a large outdoor area with fairground rides, shows, refreshments, games of chance or skill, and other entertainments. American amusement parks came out of the idea of the “pleasure gardens” of Europe. + A theme park is an amusement park that’s organized and built around a particular theme or group of themes.

Sarah brings us the 411 on roller coasters!
- History: Where did they come from?
- Engineering! How does a roller coaster work?
  - Reading: Newton's first law of motion

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding Theme Parks, especially now that they have reopened after a long period of closure? * Sarah is super-digging how Disney California Adventure’s new Avengers Campus is mirroring the Disney+ shows and changing up characters and interactions

Bryn is looking forward to being more present when she’s at the parks and appreciating the privilege of being there.
And both of us are excited about getting dressed up in fun outfits/Disneybounds, and packing our bags with just the right stuff to optimize our day. Especially big scarves.

BONUS Question: What’s your favorite immersive Theme Park experience? * Sarah relates her experience of walking into Be Our Guest, the Beauty and the Beast restaurant in New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. It was literally walking IN TO the beauty and the beast film’s ballroom. * Bryn cheated and said the Exploratorium’s Tactile Dome in San Francisco. We’ll all have to forgive her.

Bryn suggested this month’s topic topic topic because Tinker Bell in specific and fairies in general are very interesting to her, and Sarah (aka Jedi Tink, for fairy’s sake) agreed! So come fly by us this month as we talk Tink and fangirl about fairies!

Question 1: What are the different versions of Tinker Bell and how have they affected us (if at all)?

Original Tink from Peter Pan novel (1911)
Bryn loves this book and highly recommends it because it is so well written and heartbreaking in many ways, especially for anyone who has loved a child who grew up. Also this:
Tinkerbell is WRETCHED!
Calls Peter a “silly ass” at least 3 times
Sarah highly recommends the Jim Dale-narrated audiobook because it was like an old friend stopped by and read her the book
Bonus: Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan in the stage play
Tink from Peter Pan Disney film (1953)
Interesting thing about Sarah’s love of Tink: It’s not based on the Disney animated film version of Peter Pan! She liked it, but was never one of her favorite Disney films. And a recent re-watch had her shocked and appalled at how Tink actually tries to straight-up murder Wendy!
Bryn argues that Tinker Bell in this movie is a little bit of a villain, but also is treated badly by Hook, who manipulates her because of her feelings for Peter, turns her more against Wendy and traps her. Tink redeems herself by saving Peter from Hook’s bomb, and then Peter turns around and saves Tink with his “You mean more to me than anything in this whole world” line.
Tinker Bell as Disneyland Park icon (1954)
Thanks to Margaret Kerry (the animators’ reference model for Tink in Disney’s Peter Pan movie), we learned that when Walt Disney was trying to get Disneyland park off the ground, he was advised not to use Mickey Mouse as the park’s icon, in case the venture was a failure. So he decided to use Tink (and Jiminy Cricket). Tink ended up being the main icon. She debuted in 1954 on Walt’s “Disneyland” TV series to introduce the TV series’ four realms. .
Gina Rock is flying Tink at Disneyland from 1983-2005. You can hear her interview on Skywalking Through Neverland ep 191. Incidentally, a search for her name on google, and our interview with her is the first video that pops up, with key moments and timestamps shown. Super cool, Google. Also, this is why you put podcasts on YouTube, even if it is just audio only.
The sound of Tinkerbell’s bell ringing is evocative for Bryn as the cue to “turn the page” sound in 1970s and 1980s Disney read-along storybook albums.
In 2001, Sarah made a trip into the Beast’s Library in the Animation building at Disney California Adventure, where the “which character are you” quiz served up her answer as Tinker Bell. She considered it for a bit and embraced this fortunate message from the electronic Disney oracle, cementing Tink as Sarah’s favorite Disney character.
Tink in Hook (1991), directed by Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams as Peter, Julia Roberts as Tink
Sarah and Bryn agree that this movie has the WORST Tinker Bell portrayal ever. Miscast, terrible costume, terrible wig, scenes are shot strangely. It’s just bad bad bad.
But the movie itself is wonderful, pulling from the original book and adapting it in lovely ways to this retelling.
Tinker Bell films (7 released from 2008-2014 by DisneyToon Studios)
Tink is voiced by Mae Whitman, and it is a portrayal worthy of the legacy of our favorite feisty fairy.
Sarah and Bryn both love these films and felt they could have been released in theaters.
Sarah and Richard were able to speak with Margaret Kerry about the movies and Margaret even reviewed the films for an episode of Skywalking Through Neverland.
Playing fairy: Due to the popularity of the films with little girls, Sarah got to play Tink, and her frost fairy sister, Periwinkle, a lot at kid’s parties during that time. They were also popular cosplays at conventions.
NOTE:Sarah will never watch Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast again. Way to end on a downer, Disney!
Tink from these films is Bryn’s favorite Tink and her favorite of the films is Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue. (Honorable mention to The Pirate Fairy because it’s also really good and has the super bonus of featuring Tom Hiddleston as a young James Hook).
Original songs from the films are very good, too.

Question 2: What do we want to learn about fairies/Tink?

Origin stories: The faeries appear in folklore from all over the world as metaphysical beings, who, given the right conditions, are able to interact with the physical world.
One theory is that the fairies were originally worshiped as gods, but with the coming of Christianity, they lived on, in a dwindled state of power, in folk belief.
Fairy Classifications
Fairies are not just small and winged. They are mischievous, bad, and also leprechauns, ogres, gnomes can be classified with fairies. So there are 4 different classifications for fairies throughout time.
Tricksters (mischevious, pull pranks, sometimes more sinister),
Elementals (not as popular) - Paracelsus, classed gnomes and sylphs as elementals, meaning magical entities who personify a particular force of nature, and exert powers over these forces. Folklore accounts have described fairies as "spirits of the air"
Makes Sarah think of Fantasia and Tinker Bell films
Changelings (theft of human baby and substitute it with a fairy one, fairies abducting humans)
Ethereal Spirits (most common now - small, angelic with magical abilities and wings),
The Victorians changed the meaning of fairies into what we think of today. making fairies mostly benign, smaller and winged.
This is Tink
Fairies around the world
“Fairy” is a European word. Let’s explore some of the supernatural beings and spirits around the world
Asia
Foxes are very popular in many Asian folk tales
Japan: Kitsune: Fox fairies that can morph into human form
Udon dish named for the fox, who in many stories is said to love aburaage (a deep-fried tofu pouch) for which the dish is named
China: huli jing, shape shifters, take human form, nine-tailed fox is most famous
The Americas
Mayan: alux, nature spirits who scare humans
South/Southeastern Mexico: Chaneque, elf who is small like a toddler but has the wrinkled face of an old person
Africa
Senegal: Yumboes, earliest reference from early 1800s from an Irish, but the provenance is a little sketchy
Hawai’i
Menehune, who are mythical dwarf people who live deep in the forests and valleys of Hawai’i
Favorite foods are fish and bananas
Excellent craftspeople who work during the night

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding fairies/Tink?

Bryn is captivated by fairy doors and thinks everyone should put one in their home or yard
Bryn couldn’t find any links for the Seal Beach fairy doors, but enjoy a sweet article with pictures of fairy doors in the San Francisco Bay Area
Sarah is heartened to hear that, as of April 2021, the Disneyland Resort was testing a new virtual meet and greet with Tink!

EXTRAS

More fairy stuff!

Great for kids: In the Realm of the Never Fairies was published by Disney Press with text by Monique Peterson and illustrated by the Disney Storybook Artists. It seems to have served as a bit of a bible/blueprint for the Tinker Bell movies and is delightful.
Not for kids: A hilarious and possibly disturbing collaboration between Monty Python’s Terry Jones and illustrator Brian Froud, Lady Cottingon’s Pressed Fairy book.

More Tinkerbell movie stuff!

Easter eggs Bryn noticed after recording this episode:

The Pirate Fairy
A TTME Tea episode throwback! James Hook serves Zarina “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot,” a la Captain Picard in Star Trek!
Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast
Star Wars reference! Animal fairy Fawn tells Tink to “fly casual” when they are transporting a hidden baby hawk through the fairy village. We love a good Han Solo quote!

Today’s episode Sesame Street is brought to you by the number 4 and the letter T...wait, nope. This is Totally Tell Me Everything and we’re talking about tea. The kind you drink, silly.

We couldn’t record a show about tea without having some of it while we talked. right? What were we drinking? Sarah made herself a glass of iced green tea with honey, and Bryn had hot peach tisane.

Question 1: What is it about tea that you are into?

Bryn starts us off by talking about the appeal of the ritual of tea, informed by her daily tea-drinking husband’s deep thoughts about this caffeinated beverage: “Tea is MOMENT. Tea is a respite in your day. It’s a moment of quiet and mindfulness and contemplation or just resting and not doing. It’s a moment for just being.”

Herbal teas/tisanes are Bryn’s jam these days, as she tries to avoid caffeine. She likes iced tea with flavored simple syrups that she makes herself.

Sarah first became interested in tea thanks to everyone’s favorite bald Starfleet hottie, Captain Picard, thanks to his iconic order: Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, even though Sarah likes to drink Lady Grey better than the Captain’s fave.

But her big tea love is British High Tea!

She got into this in when she was just out of college. She and her girlfriends would go about once a month and try out different tea rooms around LA, from the Valley to Orange County.
While in London on their honeymoon, Richard and Sarah went to have High Tea at Harrods of London. It did not live up to her expectations. :(
A better tea experience, however, was at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood in 2004, when Sarah and her mom enjoyed a special tea-movie special event. The movie was Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. The theater rented out a dining space in the upper levels of Hollywood and Highland, for an Afternoon Tea Seating. After the film (which she loved), they were escorted across the street, up stairs and into this ballroom space with round tables all set with the traditional tea service 3-tiered tray. On walls and columns were costumes, photos and paintings from the movie. And seven Disney princesses walked around and visited your table, and you could go visit Ariel in her grotto. It was the BEST. Check out pics from Mouseplanet! (Side note: Stan Lee did not limit his cameos to just Marvel films. He has a rather disturbing cameo in this film!)
Education Corner: Low Tea vs. High Tea

Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive?

Sarah was determined to find out where tea comes from and why there are different types. Her research came from a book!

Some highlights:

All tea comes from ONE PLANT, no matter the type. A single species of plant Camellia sinensis. An evergreen shrub that has small white aromatic flowers. The leaves of this plant create tea when processed correctly!
Processing is what creates the different types. If you pluck the leaves off the plant and throw them in boiling water, you get a bitter beverage. The process has 5 stages:
- Step 1: Withering - the leaves and buds are softened on large racks in a heated room or air-dry in the sun. Starch in leaf begins to convert to sugar, moisture content drops. WHITE TEA uses mostly the white buds, and maybe a leaf.
- Step 2: Rolling - leaves are now soft and pliant and can be rolled - this twists and crushes the leaves and releases sap and stimulates fermentation. (GREEN TEA is immediately heated and dried, and does not go under the next Oxidation step)
- Step 3: Oxidation - VIP b/c here is where the flavor and value are determined. Rolled leaves are placed on trays at a 1-2” thickness, then left in a cool damp place for 1-3 hours to oxidize. This causes a chemical reaction which heats the leaves. If the temp gets too high, the leaves taste burned. Too low and you have a metallic aftertaste. Oxidation makes leaves turn from green to copper. (OOLONG tea is partially oxidized (about 60%, then goes to next 2 stages.)
- Step 4: Drying - Oxidizes leaves are dried with hot air on a conveyer belt, which stops the fermentation process and turns the leaves the characteristic dark brown or black.
- Step 5: Grading/Sorting - Sorted into leaf grades based on size. Whole leaf produces the finest quality tea, dust size are used for the quick-brewing tea bags.
Herbal Teas, Rooibos and Yerba Mate do NOT come from this Camellia Sinensis, and we should be calling them “tisanes” (rhymes with “inane” and “brynane”), a medicinal drink or infusion.

Sarah also wanted more info on the origin of British Afternoon Tea. It’s fascinating!

Thanks, Anna Russell, Duchess of Bedford, for the tea, coffee and freedom.

Bryn’s deep dive this month was shallow, as she sought the answer to the question: Is sun tea actually dangerous?

Bryn was an ‘80s kid, and her mom made a lot of sun tea
Verdict: Snopes says don’t do it: Tea steeped in a jar on your porch doesn’t get hot enough to kill the beasties in the water or the tea.

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding tea?

Sarah and Bryn are both all about the vessels!

Bryn brought out an array of some of her favorite cups for drinking tea
- Miss Piggy, Tony Brown, Unurth ceramics,
Sarah shared a new-found story behind her mom’s tea set: a vintage 1960s Japanese Somayaki Green Double Wall Tea Pot with 4 cups, a creamer and sugar bowl from Matsunaga Ceramics Shop.
- The heart shape cut outs represent plovers (Chidori) - a species of wading bird. Notice the wavy brush pattern below? That represents waves. This combination of plovers and waves is called Nami-Chidori in Japanese, and is a common motif in Japanese arts.
She’s just so tickled that this tea set she grew up with turns out to have such history!

Final Thought

Sarah says tea is a moment, but it also creates a memory, whether it calls you back to an amusingly disappointing Harrods experience or a precious time with family from long ago.

For Bryn, tea is another way to perform self care in a time when life seems to move too quickly.

And perhaps the best final thought came from Eleanor Roosevelt (Or did it?):

A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong it is until it is in hot water.

Eleanor Roosevelt

We hope you’ll come sit by us next month when we tackle another topic on Totally Tell Me Everything. Ta-ta!

Welcome back, friends. It’s Sarah’s birth month, so she got to choose our topic: BOOKS! It’s a good one!

Question 1: Name 3 books throughout your life that have shaped who you are today? Birthday Sarah starts us off.

SARAH’S FIRST BOOK: Grimm’s Fairy Tales, the really old, darker, less happily-ever-after versions of so many stories we know and love. Did we say darker? How about WAY darker? Like, Snow White has a lot of hearts being cut out of animals. Some stories have people gouging out eyes.

Sarah regales us with a retelling of a family favorite: “Little One Eye, Little Two Eyes, Little Three Eyes,” a classic Cinderella-type story, where “Cinderella” is named for how many eyes she has (spoiler: It’s two). Her stepmother and stepsisters have either fewer or more eyes than that, and they treat Little Two Eyes really badly. A wise woman tries to help out and somehow makes it worse. (You’re gonna need this palate cleanser.) But then along comes a knight to make it all better. And then Sarah hits us with the coolest part of this story: Sarah might be a Grimm on her mom’s side!

BRYN’S FIRST BOOK: Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first book in a 9-book series of the author’s experiences growing up as a little girl in the “big woods” of Wisconsin in 1871. Bryn read it as a child, and has come back to it throughout her life. She has a favorite memory of her mother reading it to her and her brother by firelight one night during a power outage.

Favorite chapters: Christmas, the Sugar Snow, Dance at Grandpa’s.
Favorite thing about the book: the writing, thanks in large part to Wilder’s daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who made the books into what they became: New Yorker article from August 2009.
Resource: Racism and Cultural insensitivity in the Little House books
- Excellent article by Liz Fields in the American Masters section of PBS.org: Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page, What should be done about racist depictions in the “Little House” books?

SARAH’S SECOND BOOK: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. An 1813 novel that follows Elizabeth Bennett and her sister Jane, who are of marriageable age, and must navigate suitors, social engagements, family and societal pressures. The novel delves into manners and etiquette of English society, the importance of marrying for love rather than money or social prestige, and overall has such delightful depictions of characters that captured Sarah’s teenage imagination.

P&P Watch List: Take your pick
Or go straight to Sarah’s fave, the BBC’s excellent 1995 6-part miniseries starring Colin Firth in his breakout role, and Jennifer Ehle.
Bonus reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Bonus Watching: Bridget Jones’ Diary

BRYN’S SECOND BOOK: The Passion, by Jeannette Winterson, a fairy tale set in an historical place and time. It’s the fantastical, magical, often dark story of Henri (a French soldier and Napoleon’s chef during the Napoleonic Wars) and Villanelle, the heart-broken red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman, who has webbed feet and is a free thinker who lives in the moment.

What’s a villanelle? The book started to mirror the poetic form in some ways, like unlocking a secret
This was Bryn’s first introduction to gender fluidity

SARAH’S THIRD BOOK: Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. After seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1991, Sarah this newly published first book of the Thrawn trilogy at her local library and FREAKED out. It’s set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and features Leia and Han as a married couple, starting a family (twins are coming!), working for the Republic and Luke is planning a Jedi Training Academy, while what’s left of the Imperials are slowly amassing under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He uses his knowledge of Leia, Luke and the leaders of the New Republic against them in an epic struggle for power.

A book that continued the story of a movie blew Sarah’s mind. It unlocked her imagination in a new way. And her knowledge of all those stories and love of those books has connected her with many Star Wars friends with the rise of social media.
- Check out Sarah’s recap of her chat with the author himself, Timothy Zahn, at a party at Star Wars Celebration Orlando on Skywalking Through Neverland episode 165!

BRYN’S THIRD BOOK: Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins, in which an exiled princess and a libertarian anarchist, who are both redheads, meet and sort of fall in love. Bryn didn’t want to choose this book as her third pick, but she did anyway because of her husband’s wisdom.

Bryn read it while temping at offices in Orange County (she also read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams during that time, but didn’t love it.)
Felt sort of dangerous and bold and funny and true at the time to naive 21-year-old Bryn
WISDOM FROM BRYN’S HUSBAND, ELON:
- Books or art or music sometimes show you something you’ve never seen or known or understood before, and they allow you to imagine something that’s possible that you hadn't ever imagined before
- You don’t know how a book is impacting you while you’re reading it
- Bryn’s learning from this: This book is one of those for me. It’s OK to move on from a book that affected you deeply.
Extra homework: Ralph Nader
Bryn cheated and included an HONORABLE MENTION book: The Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katsen

Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive? Sarah asked, “How did the printing press change history?”

Real talk: Johannes Gutenberg was NOT the inventor of the printing press!
- 1st-9th century in China with woodblock printing
- Metal type printing in Korea began in the 1300s and the first book printed this way is “Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests’ Zen Teachings” in 1377. One of these printings is preserved today in the National Library of France.
But he did make some improvements
- Moveable Type changed everything. Check out this story and this one.
Global news network created thanks to quicker, cheaper printing that was accessible to middle class
New information technology adopted by previously silenced voices, those willing to take risks
Revolution! Martin Luther becomes the first religious leader to use printing to his advantage.He’s the world’s first best-selling author! 1518-1525 his writings accounted for ⅓ of all books sold in Germany.
Scientific Revolution: With printed formulas and mathematical tables in hand, scientists could trust the fidelity of existing data and devote more energy to breaking new ground.

Bryn looked a little into the future (and the present) of books, especially print books

After watching the documentary, The Booksellers, a film about the rare book business, but also about the future of books, Bryn did a small amount of research to look into the state of print books. When e-book readers first became viable, she remembered hearing the media wonder if paper books were dead.
Spoiler: They’re not!
- Book statistics: U.S. book industry statistics and facts
- Print book sales figures have improved over the last five years and unit sales now amount to over 650 million per year. Print also remains the most popular book format among U.S. consumers, with more than 65 percent of adults having read a print book in the last twelve months.
- Publishers Weekly: Print Book Sales Rose 8.2% in 2020
- E-books statistics
- Audiobooks: 2019 more than $1 Billion in audiobook sales

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding books? Sarah is all about audiobooks!

Whispersync
She also put a call out for Star Trek or Marvel books suggestions.
And hipped us to the fantastic International Printing Museum

Wayward English major Bryn is excited to become a reader of books again. She might start with Loki, Where Mischief Lies, by Mackenzi Lee, thanks to Sarah’s recommendation.

Final Thoughts Sarah brings us home: When creating our show notes, both Bryn and I were writing so much more about the books that shaped us, rather than the history of books. When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”

So I think that is the perfect way to think of it. Any other two people in the world could have a completely different discussion than we did. So we want to know: what are your top 1-3 books that have shaped you? Please write us and we will share in our NEW segment, Totally Talk To Us.

Thanks to those of you who have written to us, either on Instagram or the Skywalking Through Neverland Facebook Group, with your feedback on our first two episodes: @iamstarwarstime, Peter Heitman and Cadien Clark. We love hearing your thoughts!

In episode 2 of Totally Tell Me Everything -- a monthly podcast hosted by podcasters and friends, Sarah Woloski and Bryn MacKinnon -- we tackle the topic of Space! As always, we’ve got three questions to ask and answer about this episode’s topic, so let’s get to it, shall we?

Question 1: What is it about space and how did your interest in space begin? * Bryn kicks off the conversation (and reveals just how old she really is) with the Space Shuttle program and then quickly diverts us to a downer story about the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster in 1986. Small redemption in the story about seeing the final space shuttle, Endeavor, on its trip to the California Science Center. * Sarah saves the day by sharing the very relatable story of building a remarkably accurate model of the solar system in 3rd grade with her engineer father, Peter Heitman, which sparked her interest in the vastness we call space. * We talk at length about the excellent space/science/romance movie, “Contact,” starring Jodi Foster and Matthew McConaughey. And let’s not forget Sarah and her mother’s shared love of Star Trek: The Next Generation. * Related links and rabbit holes: + Influence of TV shows, films and books about space: E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Star Wars, Apollo 13, Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time,” Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, The Right Stuff, more The Right Stuff + The Very Large Array + Art and science come together in the music of space: Alan Silvestri, composer of the soundtracks for Contact and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey + Pine Cones vs Pine Nuts

Question 2: What do we want to learn about space? Interestingly, we both did research on and want to talk about life beyond our planet, but from slightly different angles.

Sarah takes deep into the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, particularly the SETI Institute, the non-profit in Silicon Valley that listens to and analyzes the sounds we can hear from space, with the hope of finding intelligent life out there. SETI was founded 1984, by Tom Pierson and astronomer Jill Tarter, and played a large role in “Contact,” which Sarah assigned Bryn to watch as podcast homework before we recorded this episode.
- Drake Equation
- How many habitable planets are there?
- Arecibo collapse
- COOL PODCAST ALERT: The Science of Sci-Fi Podcast, with Erin MacDonald
While Sarah dove into the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, Bryn looked into communication with extraterrestrial intelligence, or CETI.
- Arecibo message
- Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Lambros D. Callimahos at the NSA
- Do we need a special language to talk to aliens?
  - How do you communicate with an intelligent entity you know nothing about? Or with whom you have no common cultural background?
    - TANGENT: Bryn explores some examples of this that we already have on Earth:
      - Plants and animals communicate in ways that we have been able to observe or participate in
        
        Trees
        
        Bees
        
        Dogs can learn "talk"
        
        Apes using sign language

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding space? Sarah can’t wait to get involved in space research, and you can, too!

SETI’s Planet Patrol: You can inspect stars from home and help with SETI’s research
Citizen Science for NASA: Collaborate with NASA scientists on many different projects from your cell phone or laptop.
NASA Solve: There are problems to solve, and you can get involved! You might even win a competition.

Bryn is excited to catch the space action as it happens. Here’s how you can, too!

International Space Station
- Sign up for Spot the Station, NASA’s official alert system for when the ISS is flying over your area
- ISS Detector app: Another way to get alerts when the ISS will be overhead, but this one has a live ISS cam! Listen to them talking to each other
The Mars Rovers!
- Expedition Mars: Spirit and Opportunity
- Perseverance on its way to Mars. Landing in February 2021!
  - spaceplace.nasa.gov
  - Where is the Rover?
  - Follow Perseverance on Twitter!

Tangents and corrections:

Astronaut ice cream, Reese’s Pieces, Pia Zadora, Tang, The Black Hole
Bryn got this quote so wrong: “Planting seeds in a garden you never get to see” is a line in the song “The World Was Wide Enough” from Hamilton, an American Musical. She blames the pandemic.

Final Thought: We wrap it up by revisiting Bryn’s husband’s statement that space exploration is the manifestation of our biggest dreams, goals and questions as humans. Space exploration, whether up there in rockets, shuttles and space stations or from down here on our home planet, captures and expands our imaginations. It is ambitious, dangerous, difficult and risky. But as Ellie Arroway’s father says in the movie “Contact” when she asks him if he thinks there’s people on other planets: “I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.”

Welcome to the very first episode of Totally Tell Me Everything, a monthly podcast hosted by podcasters and friends, Sarah Woloski and Bryn MacKinnon. Since this is our first episode, we start with a little info about who we are, how we met (thanks to our other podcasts, Skywalking Through Neverland and Window to the Magic), what we’re into (we share a lot of fandoms and also have many that diverge), and what you can expect from our show (one fun topic, three burning questions, lots of fun conversation! Check out the podcast that inspired our format, Wonderful). Then we dive right into this month’s subject: LIPSTICK! Our hosts explore lipstick as therapy, lipstick as power, lipstick as a connection to family, lipstick’s role in history and so much more.

Question 1: What does lipstick mean to you?

Bryn talks about her Lipstick Nana, Avon mini lipsticks, office life and lipstick, and Cover Girl’s “Iceblue Pink”
Sarah tells us how moving to California for college, swing dancing, and interest in retro styles gave her the opportunity to move from “shy kid” to confident young woman, especially thanks to Besame Cosmetics’ “Red Velvet,” Sarah’s first perfect red lip color.

Question 2: What did we want to learn about lipstick?

Thanks to Sarah, we get deep dive on the history of red lipstick, taking us all the way back to Ancient Egypt and guiding us to the Middle Ages, the Elizabethan and Victorian Eras in England and the United States in the 1910s and beyond, starting when the Suffragettes used red lipstick as a way to get their message out about women’s rights, and then hitting on important moments in red lipstick in nearly every decade until today.

Question 3: What’s something “lipstick” that you’re excited about right now?

Sarah is head-over-heels for Besame’s “Wild Orchid” lipstick, a gorgeous recreation of a popular lip color from 1952. It’s a deep fuschia red with a little bit of shimmer. It looks great and feels great, and she’ll often put it on at 10pm just because it makes her so happy!
Bryn is stoked on reds in all their forms, bright, soft, neutral and more. She loves the versatility of red lipstick and notices that she’s going bolder with lip color as she gets older, and she loves it.

Final Thoughts

Thought fandoms like Star Wars, Disneyland, Marvel, and Harry Potter may have been why Sarah and Bryn first connected (and continue to bring them lots of joy), who would have thought they’d become even closer because of their shared love and admiration for lipstick, this little “boost in a tube.” Lipstick is so much more than just lipstick, isn’t it?
