We're not exactly spring chickens around here anymore. Retirement from our "money jobs" will be here sooner than later. So what are going to do with all our free time? Maybe start a fanzine. How about volunteering with our local indie promoter? For you tech types, how about gear restoration? There's so much a dedicated Metalhead can do for the betterment of Metaldom. We hope this episode gives you some cool suggestions. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we get into some more Gear Talk and our "Free Comic Book Day". Musically, we crank some Nunslaughter, Sadistic Intent, Genocide Pact, MainEEaxe, Killer, Get The Most, Demon Spell, Runn Amucks and we introduce Italy's Phantom Menace (!) in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!

This week, we pile into the van and hit the road for Skywalker Ranch as we revisit Fanboys, the 2009 cult comedy that celebrates Star Wars fandom like no other. Set in 1998, the film follows a group of lifelong friends on a cross-country mission to break into Skywalker Ranch and steal a copy of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace before its theatrical release, all to grant the wish of their terminally ill friend. Join us as we discuss the film's heartfelt story, its affectionate tribute to fan culture, memorable cameos, and why it continues to resonate with audiences years later.

In this episode I chat with visual effects supervisor, second unit director and digital pre-visualisation pioneer David Dozoretz about a career that traces the entire arc of how modern filmmaking shifted from analogue to digital — and how, somewhere in the middle of that shift, pre-vis went from a curious side experiment to a fundamental part of how films get planned and shot. David talks about growing up in Phoenix, falling in love with cinema the day his sister snuck him into the projection booth at the Cine Capri during The Empire Strikes Back asteroid sequence, and how a chance encounter with a Lucasfilm coffee-table book in a university bookstore set him on the path to ILM. He arrived at ILM in 1991 as an intern, became known as "the computer nerd in the art department and the art nerd in the computer department," and ended up bridging the gap between the two as digital began to take over.We get into his first feature — the original Jurassic Park — his year-long apprenticeship in the legendary ILM art department alongside Doug Chiang, Ty Ellingson, Harley Jessup, Mark Moore and Stefan Dechant, and the time he had to split a $1,400 piece of 3D software into two $700 purchase orders to get round ILM's general-manager sign-off threshold. It's a small story but it tells you everything about the era — digital tools were arriving faster than the institutions running things knew what to do with them.A big part of the conversation focuses on the early years of digital pre-visualisation. David did the first major digital previs sequence in mainstream cinema — the train and helicopter sequence in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible, the work John Knoll asked him to do that's now credited as one of the reasons the sequence got greenlit. From there he went on to spend four years working with George Lucas on The Phantom Menace, building the entire pod race in previs (a 25-minute version that almost no one has ever seen got whittled down to the 9-and-a-half-minute final), establishing his now-famous three rules of previs (no textures, no motion blur, no shadows) and then immediately having to break all three of them to convey the sense of speed and floating in the pod race itself.There are some lovely George Lucas stories too, including the time George walked into the editing room and reacted to David's droid-factory post-vis with "honestly, I was a little worried about that one — looks like it's gonna work," and the moment when George trailed off mid-sentence trying to describe a desert landscape and David — a 21-year-old kid — finished the thought with "John Ford?", which David thinks is the moment Lucas decided he could trust him. Later in the conversation we move into David's own company, Persistence of Vision, and his work on Titan A.E., Behind Enemy Lines, JJ Abrams' Mission: Impossible III, the 2009 Star Trek reboot (including the previs realisation that Vulcan being orange meant the costumes — originally designed to evoke 70s NASA — had to be completely redesigned) and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, where David served as second unit director on the first digital stereoscopic film and the production was effectively beta-testing the cameras Jim Cameron was building for Avatar. We finish on Zafari, David's 52-episode children's animated series rendered almost entirely in Unreal Engine — one of the earliest large-scale uses of real-time rendering in mainstream animation, which saved 30% of the production budget — and on a wider conversation about AI, the future of filmmaking, the importance of human authenticity, and David's lovely closing thought: study the art and history of cinema, study the drawing, not just the pencil. The tools will keep changing. The language won't.

On this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester continue our discussion of the new Maul – Shadow Lord animated series. This time we focus on the writing and characterization of the principal characters, especially Maul and how his past and present informs his strategy for gradually guiding Devon Izara toward her choice to become his apprentice. Along the way we consider the connections between the titular character we see in Maul – Shadow Lord and his earlier incarnations in The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars, and how those portrayals influence who Maul has become by his time on Janix. We also compare Maul's proposal to Ahsoka Tano during the Siege of Mandalore at the end of that war to his goals with Devon Izara in Shadow Lord. With Maul's future appearances in Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars Rebels already established, we also speculate briefly on where the new characters from Maul – Shadow Lord may be headed in its second season. Rylee Lawson and Two-Boots believe that Brander Lawson was killed by stormtroopers in their escape, which may affect their choices in his absence, but the show provides a strong storytelling reason to think he isn't dead (yet). Devon's future is unknown, too, and the parallel with Ahsoka poses some interesting possibilities for her ultimate fate, as well.

This is just for fun, with no real generational connection except that both Abraham Lincoln and George Lucas are from Prophet generations. (Boom for Lucas, Transcendental for Lincoln.) And, as such, it's not surprising that a similar arrangement works for both of them.  If you like Star Wars and Aaron Copland, you may enjoy it. Fun fact: George Lucas' birthday is May 14, 1944, which was the two-year anniversary of the premiere of Lincoln Portrait.   Here's where I found the quotations: The first two are from different sections of a look back at The Phantom Menace: https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-i-the-phantom-menace-oral-history) The "barbarians" quote is from testimony before the Senate in March 1988 - here's the text I used, from Wikisource: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1988_George_Lucas_testimony_before_United_States_Senate It's not clear that Lucas every actually said the thing about the sledgehammer, but it turns out the fourth section in Lincoln Portrait isn't well sourced either. And in both cases, it's certainly something they might have said. I originally found the last bit here: https://www.biography.com/news/george-lucas-star-wars-facts But it turns out it was from a New York Times interview of George Lucas while he was FILMING Star Wars in 1976.  https://www.nytimes.com/1976/09/12/archives/from-american-graffiti-to-outer-space.html It's well worth the read.

Darth Maul began as a one‑note assassin in The Phantom Menace, but over the last 25 years he's evolved into one of the most complex and compelling figures in the Star Wars universe. His resurrection in The Clone Wars revealed a man shattered by betrayal, rebuilt through rage, and driven by a purpose far beyond the Sith.Across animation, comics, novels, and live‑action, Maul has proven time and again why he remains a fan‑favorite—an unstoppable force whose presence elevates every story he touches.In this episode, Mark, Brian, and Garrett dive deep into the legacy of the Shadow Lord himself. From his origins to his most iconic moments, they explore what makes Maul such a lasting and beloved character.

This week, we kick off our 'Pre-Prequel Parts' month by diving into 1996's Trainspotting. Join us to explore how Ewan McGregor's chaotic, star-making performance as Renton provided a glimpse of the actor who would soon become our definitive Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace.

This week kicks off Star Wars Month, and your favorite hosts are diving deep into the life and career of Dave Filoni, the current President and Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm. The most pivotal moment discussed is how Filoni originally got hired by George Lucas in 2005: instead of just asking about animation skills, Lucas challenged him on the themes of "The Phantom Menace," specifically the "Duel of the Fates." Ashley praises Filoni for his dedication to continuity, noting that his projects rarely have the plot holes or contradictions that plague other parts of the franchise.Produced by: Limitless Broadcasting Network.For more info, merch, and all the other podcasts, visit: www.limitlessbroadcastingnetwork.comCheck out Ashley's Disney deep dives at: pixiedustfiles.wordpress.comFollow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Canvas & Crime: Turning True Crime into Quirky CharactersGet your own notorious shot glass or art print at www.canvasandcrime.com!

This conversation first aired on Star Wars Generations and we're sharing it here because it raises exactly the kind of question this show was built for.Maul is the only one in the room telling the truth and nobody will believe him. At the halfway point of Maul: Shadow Lord, Matthew Fox is joined by returning guests Pete Wright and AK Ahab to dig into what kind of show this actually is and what to make of a character who has been a Sisyphean tragic figure across every corner of Star Wars canon.The three hosts debate whether Maul is genuinely manipulative or just agenda-driven and honest. AK's reading — that Maul is too deep in self-deception to deliberately deceive anyone else — reshapes the whole conversation. They also get into the show's tonal balancing act: the crime noir Lawson subplot, the casting of a major actress in what might be a very small role, and the very real risk that the show trades its freshest ideas for a predictable Order 66 beat and a Padawan-falls arc. The meditation sequence in Episode 6 alone sent AK back to rewatch The Phantom Menace fight, because Maul's fighting form here doesn't match his onscreen history, and that gap is either a brilliant character insight or an oncoming problem.There's genuine enthusiasm for Maul: Shadow Lord in this conversation, and genuine anxiety about where the back half is headed. Both feel earned.itsmeepete.comConnect with AK: Instagram · Twitter/X**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

I have a confession to make: The first Star Wars movie I ever saw was Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. I was 13, and it just hit the dollar theater when my friend invited me to see it with him. He realized I had never seen the Original Trilogy when I was surprised that Qui-Gon Jinn died (spoiler, I guess). We fixed that quickly, but this movie, despite being considered the worst Star Wars movie of all time (maybe bottom 2 now), started my love of the franchise.So I thought, in honor of May the Fourth, I'd share with you what you can learn from Star Wars...particularly from a solopreneur systems and automations point of view.

Maul is the only one in the room telling the truth and nobody will believe him. At the halfway point of Maul: Shadow Lord, Matthew Fox is joined by returning guests Pete Wright and AK Ahab to dig into what kind of show this actually is and what to make of a character who has been a Sisyphean tragic figure across every corner of Star Wars canon.The three hosts debate whether Maul is genuinely manipulative or just agenda-driven and honest. AK's reading, that Maul is too deep in self-deception to deliberately deceive anyone else, reshapes the whole conversation. They also get into the show's tonal balancing act: the crime noir Lawson subplot, the casting of a major actress in what might be a very small role, and the very real risk that the show trades its freshest ideas for a predictable Order 66 beat and a Padawan-falls arc. The meditation sequence in episode 6 alone sent AK back to rewatch The Phantom Menace fight, because Maul's fighting form here doesn't match his onscreen history, and that gap is either a brilliant character insight or an oncoming problem.There's genuine enthusiasm for Maul: Shadow Lord in this conversation, and genuine anxiety about where the back half is headed. Both feel earned. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Subscribe now for the full episode! Danny welcomes back to the show historian Daniel Immerwahr to talk about the political and ideological themes of Star Wars, particularly The Phantom Menace. They discuss George Lucas's Vietnam War influences and anti-imperial framework; myth and generational conflict in the original trilogy; the rise of intellectual property and Silicon Valley ideology; the shift from rebellion to bureaucracy in The Phantom Menace; its depiction of trade, governance, and liberal institutional decay; the racialized and cultural representations in the prequels; the transformation of the Jedi into enforcers; technology and scientism; and how The Phantom Menace reflects the politics of the late 1990s “end of history” moment.

A heist on a crime-syndicate planet, a “Duel of the Fates” needle drop that hasn't been heard since The Phantom Menace, and a Sith lord who barely has to break a sweat... Maul is off to a hell of a start. Matthew and Alex welcome TruStory FM co-owner Pete Wright to break down the first two episodes of the new animated series, set in the lawless underworld of Janix at the dawn of the Empire.The conversation covers the Blade Runner-meets-cop-noir world-building, the “sandwich prequel” problem of writing a character whose beginning and end we already know, and the big question: can Maul sustain eight episodes as a title character? Matthew makes the case that Maul is a Cassandra figure — he sees Palpatine's plan clearly and completely, but his methods mean no one will listen to him. Meanwhile, Pete brings a sharp outside perspective on what the show owes to Andor's willingness to let crime politics breathe.There's also spirited debate over Devin Izara and her Jedi master, whether the show's hallway fight scene has earned its place in a now-crowded genre, and where Crimson Dawn fits into Maul's long game — because Palpatine, as it turns out, is playing Candyland, and the outcome was never really in doubt.Star Wars Generations**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.
