For September 4, 2007.  Twenty years ago today, film director Richard Marquand died at the age of 49.  He will probably best be remembered as the director of 'Return of the Jedi' in 1983.  I talk about the state of 'Star Wars,' how it's changed over the past twenty years, and what I think about the Special Editions and prequel movies. Today's episode music is from 'Duel Key Dreamer,' by <a href="http://www.podsafeaudio.com/jamroom/bands/690/music.php">Father Rock</a>.  Our theme music is composed and performed by <a href="http://www.drysmoke.com/">Marc Rose</a>.

Episode #87 -- Richard Marquand

A look at the events and culture of the (relatively) recent past -- twenty, or sometimes thirty, years ago from the day of posting.  The 1980s. The 1990s.  People.  Society.  Books, movies, television and video games.  Crime and justice.  War and disasters.  It's all here, seen through the lens of my own memory.  Learn or remember about days not so long gone, and see how what happened then affects us today -- all in less than ten minutes per episode.
