Wikipedia synopsis for Strange Magic
Movies recommended in this episode:
Is Elliott Kallan gone forever or is it just temporary?
I just wanted to say that Jordan Morris was pretty awesome, guys. When Elliot’s missing, the usually fast paced natured of the podcast slows down a bit, but Jordan kept everything humming along.
Also, beautiful women getting together with ugly looking dudes isn’t a new thing, guys. The Bronte sisters were all about that kind of action, and their books are still being read today. It’s really all just part of the “women are attracted to the bad boys” trope.
There is a post-credit scene in which we see the Prince fall in love with a multi-eyed insect of some kind.
George Lucas came to Singapore where the poor, poor animators at Lucasfilm toiled away on this. Diring the press conference, he basically said he doesn’t understand why critics like one of his films and dislike others. He strikes me as a delusional but loveable old uncle who is at heart quite sweet, even if he’s often wrong.
Lucas = Gene Roddenberry. Both had amazing early concepts, then after a point developed the reverse Midas touch where everything they touched turned to shit. Roddenberry’s heavy involvement with Star Trek: The Motion Picture and the disastrous first season of The Next Generation is more or less equivalent to Lucas and the prequels. Roddenberry at least accepted this to some extent and allowed himself to become more of a creative consultant after a point. Lucas just needs to retire.
Is Jordan Morris not the vocal doppelganger of David Cross?
