Two True Freaks

In this episode of Man of Screen at the movies, Mike Zummo takes a look at one of the all-time classics and arguably the movie that coined the term blockbuster, the little space fantasy movie that launched an empire, 1977s “Star Wars”.

Learn about Mikes origins with this film and to an extent its two successors. Where did he watch it for the first time? What format? Youll have to find out by listening to the episode.

And what did he take from this latest viewing that perhaps he didnt take before?

All very good questions.

And then because you didnt demand it, but youre going to get it anyway, Mike will give the definitive answer and settle that “who shot first” question for all time. Just try and dispute him. You could, but you would be wrong.

So sit down and let Mike tell you his experiences with that “galaxy far, far away.”

Next time, itll be quite a bit of time before Man of Screen at the Movies returns as there are two more seasons of Super Friends to get through.

Regular coverage returns with the beginning of the All-New Super Friends Hour.

August 28, 1993 saw the premiere of the first episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, introducing the world to a franchise that is still alive and kicking 25 years later. To celebrate, Charlie's Geekcast will be releasing a new series of special commentary episodes covering a randomly selected episode from each season of the series. This episode kicks off the series with a 2-part episode from season 1, "Return of an Old Friend."

In this issue, Scott, Chris and Pat chat about Legion Chapter Thirteen and enjoy a little body horror and scene chewing by the newly alive again Lenny. Yes, the mystery of how Aubrey Plaza went from being a disembodied psychic entity to fully formed, bleeding human is solved, but not until Lenny has had her way playing mind games with the folks at Division Three. We also get treated to some Oliver and Farouk road show, Ptomony and the delusion and Dead Sea Donuts!!! Apparently all or nothing will be revealed on this weeks Weekly Heroics!!!

Whats this? Two Weekly Heroics episodes posted in the same day? This must be some bizarro alternate timeline where Scott is a prolific producer again. Scott, Chris and Pat cover Legion Chapter Fourteen which is all about alternate timeline David and theres a lot of him to go around. Its the “Its a Wonderful Life” episode where we get a glimpse of several outcomes of Davids life that could have come to pass if things just went a little differently for him, and if he was in the cast of a Clockwork Orange. Also: Mouse Bryan Ferry, so what more do you really need to know? Just join the madness with us on your Weekly Heroics Legioncast!
