Podcast appearances and mentions of George Lucas

Episode 129 – The Star Wars Influence: Live at the BFI's Film on Film Festival In this special live episode, I join Doug Weir—Remastering Lead at the BFI—and post-production veteran Paul Collard on stage for a panel titled The Star Wars Influence, recorded at the BFI's Film on Film Festival. Curated and hosted by Doug, the panel explores how George Lucas's frustrations with the Hollywood studio system led to a wave of technological innovation that forever changed the filmmaking landscape. From the creation of ILM to the invention of motion control, EditDroid, SoundDroid, and digital cinema tools, we look at how Lucas empowered a generation of problem-solvers and helped pioneer the digital workflow we now take for granted. This conversation took place just before a rare screening of Star Wars from a 35mm Technicolor dye-transfer print—an experience I'll be covering in more detail in a bonus episode coming soon. Topics include:Lucas's break from the traditional studio systemThe founding of ILM and the Dykstraflex motion control rigVistaVision, optical printers, and visual effects R&DThe origins of EditDroid and non-linear editingThe value of Technicolor dye-transfer printsLucasfilm's wider influence on Pixar, Avid, and beyondThanks again to Doug and Paul—and to the BFI for hosting such a thoughtful and inspiring event.Joe Alves Doco GoFundMeAll my links

In 2012, Mike was invited his film Sleepwalk With Me at Pixar and he's been friends with filmmaker Pete Docter ever since. Known for his directorial feats of greatness with Monsters, Inc., Up, Soul, and Inside Out, Pete Docter is now the Chief Creative Officer at Pixar. Pete walks Mike through the Pixar “draft” process for developing a story, and reveals the ups and downs of being a Pixar director. Pete shares stories of his time spent with Steve Jobs, George Lucas, and some of the original Disney animators. Plus, advice on giving (and receiving) creative notes, and the story of Pete's Star Wars fan film he made when he was a kid.Please Consider Donating To: International Justice Mission

Director Joe Johnston, who worked in design and VFX for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, is best known for effects-heavy family pics like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, The Rocketeer, and Jumanji. But in 1999, he tried his hand at the “based on a true story” inspirational biopic genre, based on the early life of NASA engineer Homer Hickam, as told in Hickam's memoir Rocket Boys. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Chris Owen, and Laura Dern, the film tells the story of a coal miner's son who was inspired by the launch of Sputnik in 1957 to take up rocketry with a group of friends against his father's wishes. A critical and commercial success, the anagramically-titled October Sky sounds stellar. But over two decades later, does it still shoot for the moon, or is it a dud?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

The Darkest Indiana Jones AdventureIn this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell dive into the controversial second installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). This prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark takes our hero to Shanghai and then India for what many consider the darkest chapter in the series.The hosts explore how the film's darker tone was influenced by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's personal lives at the time, with both going through difficult periods that affected the creative direction. Despite being considered the black sheep of the original trilogy, Temple of Doom has gained appreciation over time for its unique qualities and memorable moments.Nathan shares his childhood memory of seeing the film in theaters and covering his eyes during the infamous heart-ripping scene—the very scene that, along with Red Dawn, prompted the creation of the PG-13 rating that changed Hollywood forever. Both hosts give the film high marks (8-8.5 out of 10), placing it just below The Last Crusade in their rankings.Key topics discussed:How Temple of Doom works as a prequel set in 1935 (before Raiders)The incredible Shanghai club opening sequence and its filming challengesShort Round as one of the best sidekicks in the series who sadly never returnedKate Capshaw's performance as Willie Scott and her real-life sedatives for the bug scenesThe film's cultural insensitivity issues and how they were meant to be portrayedWhy the mine cart chase might be 20% too long but remains iconicPractical effects including stop-motion animation and early compositing techniquesIndiana Jones' character as more of an anti-hero than classic heroThe brilliant suspension bridge finale and Mola Ram as a memorable villainIn their deep cut recommendations, Nathan suggests exploring Bollywood classics like Om Shanti Om featuring Shahrukh Khan, while noting that Amrish Puri (Mola Ram) appears in the classic DDLJ. Krissy recommends checking out Ke Huy Quan's (Short Round) recent renaissance, including his Oscar-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.Whether you're covering your eyes during the heart scene or laughing at Willie's dinner reactions, Temple of Doom remains a unique, polarizing adventure that helped define 80s action cinema. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

  5 Types of Income to Create Infinite Income   - AZ TRT S06 EP09 (271) 5-25-2025              What We Learned This Week Multiple Streams of Income strategy 5 Types of Income – Career, Investment, Retirement Account, Pension, Tax Free Diversification of income provides you security and freedom Build Infinite Income thru initial investment, and profits pay off loans, then go on forever George Lucas created the Star Wars IP one time, and gets infinite returns from the movies & merchandise Real Estate, Business, and Insurance products are good assets for infinite income     Notes:   Segment 1: The 5 Types of Income – Why One Stream Isn't Enough Opening: The Economic Shift ·         The economic landscape has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. ·         While business and technology have advanced, personal finance education and systems haven't kept pace. ·         Inflation has significantly eroded purchasing power. ·         It's no longer the 1950s where one income could support a family of four. Now, two incomes are often required—and even then, many people have a third gig. The New Normal: Side Hustles & Financial Reality ·         According to recent stats, 70% of people need an additional income stream, often from a side business or freelance work. ·         30% of Americans hold a second job. ·         Among millennials, that number rises to 50%.     The Lesson from Robert Allen & Rich Dad, Poor Dad ·         Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income advocated for income diversification to gain safety and freedom. ·         Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad emphasized acquiring income-producing assets—his favorite being real estate. The 5 Types of Income 1.    Career or Business Income Your primary, day-to-day W-2 income—pays the bills and covers monthly expenses. 2.    Investment Income Comes from appreciating or income-producing assets like real estate, stocks, or Bitcoin. 3.    Retirement Accounts Tax-deferred income sources like IRAs or 401(k)s—subject to rules and penalties but critical for long-term planning. 4.    Guaranteed Income Comes from pensions, annuities, or Social Security. Designed for lifetime income and stability. 5.    Tax-Free Income Generated through Roth IRAs or cash value from life insurance. You pay tax on the seed, not the harvest. Call to Action: ·         Make a list of which of the five types of income you currently have. ·         Strategize how to build the remaining ones for a balanced, resilient financial future. Analogy: Just like a business has multiple products or a sports team has multiple ways to score, individuals should have diverse income sources to win financially. Segment 2: Infinite Income – Building Streams That Never Run Dry What Is Infinite Income? ·         Infinite income is ongoing, residual income that continues long after the original work or investment. ·         It's the financial holy grail: put in work or money once, get paid over and over. Key Assets That Can Generate Infinite Income: ·         Tangible Assets: Real estate, businesses, stocks ·         Intangible Assets: Skills, knowledge, intellectual property (IP), network Examples of Infinite Income in Action 1. Real Estate ·         Buy a $250K property with 10% down ($25K). ·         Renters pay the mortgage; property appreciates. ·         Refinance later, pull out your original investment tax-free. ·         Continue collecting rental income even after loan is paid off. ·         Use refinance funds to buy more properties → Repeat → Scale. 2. Business Ownership ·         Start or buy a business using a loan. ·         Profits pay off the loan, then continue to generate revenue. ·         Later, use the business as collateral to expand or acquire another. 3. Life Insurance (IUL Strategy) ·         Fund a policy over time; cash value grows tax-deferred. ·         Take loans against the policy tax-free—used as supplemental retirement income. ·         Policy can also be a legacy tool, passing on wealth tax-free. 4. Intellectual Property (IP) ·         George Lucas with Star Wars—created once, profits for decades from merchandise and licensing. ·         Jeff Bezos still profits from Amazon stock, 30 years later. ·         Microsoft, McDonald's, Coca-Cola—IP and systems built once, revenue continues for decades. ·         DC Comics still profiting off Superman IP created in the 1930s. Key Principles for Building Infinite Income ·         Choose the Right Assets: Real estate, businesses, IULs—not just assets that appreciate, but ones that cash flow. ·         Leverage and Scale: Use debt wisely to scale income-producing assets. Wealthy individuals and private equity firms use this strategy constantly. o    Example: PE firms acquire HVAC companies, funeral homes, rental properties—assets that provide consistent 10%+ returns. ·         Use Tax Strategy to Your Advantage: o    Tax-free income is more efficient. o    Lowering your tax burden increases your net income immediately. o    Wealthy individuals use loans, Roths, and life insurance to optimize tax efficiency. Mindset Shift: ·         Don't chase just “buy low/sell high” assets. Instead, acquire harvestable assets—ones that generate regular income and can appreciate. ·         Build cash flow now, use it to reinvest in more assets—repeat the cycle. Closing Thought: ·         Control three things: Assets, Income, Taxes. ·         Master those, and you create not just wealth—but infinite income.     Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

This is a free sample from our conversation on William Wyler's Ben-Hur (1959), the epic that helped shape George Lucas's cinematic imagination and paved the way for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. We talk about Ben-Hur's blend of myth, spectacle, and spirituality, how its structure mirrors the Skywalker saga, and why Judah Ben-Hur walks so Anakin Skywalker can...get his legs cut off.

Force help them, Holly Frey and Bryan Young took another episode to talk about Andor, particularly the Ghorman Massacre and its relationship to history as well as its startling similarities to current events. They also talked about George Lucas and Star Wars being inherently political.

In this special archival episode, I speak with actor and musician Anthony Forrest, best known to Star Wars fans for playing the sandtrooper who famously waved Obi-Wan and Luke past an Imperial checkpoint with the words: “These aren't the droids we're looking for.” Originally recorded over a decade ago, this conversation explores Forrest's original casting as “Fixer” in the cut Tosche Station scenes, his time filming in Tunisia, and how George Lucas unexpectedly tapped him to suit up as a trooper. Anthony also reflects on working alongside Alec Guinness, the skepticism among the British crew, and the surreal experience of flying home with champagne and Star Wars stickers courtesy of Sir Alec himself. Beyond Star Wars, we also discuss Anthony's career in music, his time busking in the London Underground, and his low-budget feature The Ballad of Bob's Garage.  Listen in for rarely heard stories from behind the mask.

Enjoy!You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and find us @HowStarWarsIsIt on all platforms, but since all platforms are kind of evil now, you should probably just email us.

In the second episode of season two of Light & Magic, George Lucas, ILM, and their crew endure the reaction to The Phantom Menace and prepare for Attack of the Clones and more.

Nothing connects young millennials / elder zoomers like George Lucas' much-maligned prequels. Can we sort through the nostalgia of these films and see what remains?

On this episode of Cosplay and Cocktails, join Jessi and Paige on a road trip episode as they travel home from a trip to San Francisco, California where they had the opportunity to visit George Lucas's property, Skywalker Ranch and Winery.

Joining us in the base this week is Spencer Jawitz of the Virtual Cantina Network! Rian Johnson would be the happiest person in the world to come back and make a new Star Wars movie, but will he? In other Ryan news, Ryan Reynolds apparently pitched an R-rated Star Wars idea to Lucasfilm. We give our thoughts on that and more, including wondering whether the reason for the season, George Lucas, will appear in person at Star Wars Celebration 2027. We also talk to Spencer about how he became a Star Wars fan and what he's working on with the Virtual Cantina Network and his upcoming Boonta Eve party at Rebel Scum Con!

GUYS!!!! DEBBIE SOLARIS IS HERE!!! Wow, I am deeply honored to have spent this time with the amazing Debbie Solaris. Her galactic knowledge and psychic gifts astound me, and I had a blast with her on this episode. Debbie is a renowned ET contactee and galactic historian. In this stellar (get it?) episode, she shares her fantastic journey from a traditional upbringing in a military family to becoming awakened to her star lineage through an extraterrestrial contact experience with the Arcturians. Our conversation dives into topics like the challenges faced by star seeds, galactic history, and future contact with extraterrestrial beings. Debbie also discusses her work with the Akashic records, explaining the difference between earth and galactic records, and how she helps clients connect with their cosmic origins. And, of course, we talk about the possibility that George Lucas channeled the story of Star Wars from the true history of the Orion Wars. This episode is filled with eye-opening insights and activating experiences that will intrigue anyone interested in spirituality and the cosmos.

For the second episode of Hollywood Stories' sophomore season, Richard Rushfield talks to the brilliant and bawdy Bruce Vilanch, known as the longtime joke purveyor extraordinaire for the Oscars (plus the Emmys, Tonys and more). But before he became the go-to for Hollywood galas, Vilanch got his start in writing for the big variety shows and specials that peppered the network schedules of the 1960s and '70s and represent the height of television's most flamboyant and unhinged period. Expanding on some of the wildest misadventures chronicled in  his new book, “It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time,” Vilanch takes Richard through three of those song-and-dance spectaculars — the “Star Wars Holiday Special” that George Lucas famously disowned, the “Paul Lynde Halloween Special” and the short-lived series “The Brady Bunch Hour.” From writing material for graceless Wookiees to putting Robert Reed's Mike Brady in Carmen Miranda drag, Vilanch revels in how right it felt when everything went fantastically wrong. “It was ridiculous, but I had fun,” he recalls. “A lot of these things were conceived in clouds of smoke.” Learn more about your ad choices.

“Hold on to your hats, folks, Chris Cabin likes this movie!” - Eric On this week's episode, we're going back to The Prequels on the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to do a proper episode on Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith!

One day prior to leading multiple tours of the original location of Industrial Light & Magic, in Van Nuys, CA, for over a hundred people, renowned visual effects innovator and nine-time Academy Award winner Dennis Muren met up with us at the location. It was the first time Dennis had stepped foot inside the building in nearly fifty years, making it once-in-a-lifetime 'On Location" episode. We talked about the maddening pressure of creating the groundbreaking visual effects for "Star Wars" (1977) at this nondescript industrial property outside the Van Nuys airport, why he wanted to work for George Lucas and the filmmaker's clear cinematic vision, meeting Steven Spielberg for the first time at ILM, Van Nuys, his genuine love of movies and filming locations, and his feelings on the reemergence of VistaVision. Today, the location is home to Neiman & Company, an established architectural signage firm that's been in business since 1965 and purchased the building in the early 2000's. www.neimanandco.com

When the Star Wars prequels came out, they were polarizing for fans of George Lucas' beloved space opera. The three films - The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith – followed Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader. It's been 20 years since the final prequel hit theaters, so it seems like a fitting time to reevaluate the movies.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopculture Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
