  • 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

    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. Ron and Frankee give us a peek behind the curtain and tell us what it takes to put together this show that takes its parts from the TV series and their beloved music. This is as close to having the actual Monkees (circa 1966) as we can get and they do not disappoint! Many thanks to Bryna Dambrowski for setting up this interview.

  • 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!)

  • 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 - 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."
