Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Hamill

Zo was previously in a galaxy far, far away, where he witnessed fantastic events. He was then transported to another part of that same galaxy to witness those same events play out in almost the same way, but in an even weirder and goofy manor. He's now returned to the original part of that same galaxy which had somehow got even worse, weirder, goofier, and somehow sadder. It seemed like something that held enormous promise, but turned out to be a fantastic disappointment. That's the problem with holidays. They're supposed to be a time to celebrate, but they sometimes turns out so bad that it can drive a man to drink. In this part of the galaxy the star wars continue through the holidays and the denizens are determine to make the holidays special in these dark times. Join Zo as he celebrates Life Day on this Star Wars Holiday Special. Episode Chapters00:03:45 Opening Credits for The Star Wars Holiday Special starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher00:15:45 Favorite Parts of the 1978 TV movie: The Star Wars Holiday Special00:43:58 Trivia from the sci-fi variety show: The Star Wars Holiday Special00:48:51 Critics' Thoughts on Steve Binder and David Acomba's The Star Wars Holiday Special LinksThe Star Wars Holiday Special  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

The bizarre, incoherent ‘Star Wars Holiday Special' was broadcast only once, on 17th November, 1978. Despite CBS signing up the stars of the original movie - Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, the plot swapped epic battles for a bizarre variety show filled with cameos from Harvey Korman, Bea Arthur, and Jefferson Starship. The story revolves around Chewbacca's family as celebrate “Life Day” on their home planet, Kashyyyk. George Lucas' initial vision was for a sombre, character-driven tale. But instead, it evolved into a chaotic blend of guest star sketches, dodgy green screens, and musical numbers. Lucas reportedly hated it so much he wished to destroy every copy with a sledgehammer. Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Fisher ended up singing a new song to the tune of John Williams's Star Wars theme; consider how Disney attempted to scrub the memory of the Special from the Star Wars canon after acquiring Lucasfilm; and contemplate the wisdom of making Wookies - who speak an unintelligible language, with no subtitles - the stars of the show… Further Reading: • ‘The Star Wars Holiday Special: A Retrospective' (Empire, 2009): https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/star-wars-holiday-special/ • ‘Star Wars Holiday Special: Inside the Confusing Christmas Special' (Thrillist, 2017): https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/star-wars-holiday-special • 'The Star Wars Holiday Special' (CBS, 1978): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtSX1lg8rE Love the show?

David Goldblum's short film, "Big Rock Burning," is creating a lot of good heat for the pointed questions it's raising since the devastating fires that charred thousands of properties in Malibu and the Palisades (not to mention Altadena), and he joins our program LIVE to talk about his film and the harrowing experiences so many have had since leaving their homes on January 7th, returning to the ashes of a life that so many are struggling to put back together. The film depicts the stories of 49 Malibu residents impacted by the fires, and chronicles the resilient spirit of the residents of Big Rock, and their intent to rebuild. But little has happened in the months that have followed, and while people are still grieving, they want action and accountability. David says residents have been left to fend for themselves to sort through government red-tape and insurance nightmares, and they're growing weary. Their stories have attracted some celeb residents as well, such as Mark Hamill and Ricki Lake, who talks about losing her home and the emotional impact it's had on her and her friends and neighbors. Malibu is a multi-generational community and so many have lived in their homes since childhood. And while it's a peaceful community, it's not without its challenges, too, and the fire dangers are one of them. People know the risks, but many say they don't expect the lack of help and resources from local government, and the film addresses that. Please join our full interview with David Goldblum on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please encourage your friends to join, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. The film is currently in the middle of its Oscar-qualifying theatrical run through 9/18 at the Laemmle in Santa Monica, so if you're close by, here's your opportunity to see it. @davidgoldblum @consciouscontactentertainment #filmmaker #movies

Kambole Campbell (Empire Magazine, Vulture, Time Out) and Leslie Byron-Pitt (Fatal Attractions podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Kambole's choice The Boy and the Heron. The Boy and the Heron (2023) is the 12th Studio Ghibli animation written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The English dub version features the voices of Christian Bale as Shoichi Maki, Robert Pattinson as the Gray Heron, Florence Pugh as Kiriko, and Dave Bautista as the Parakeet King. The cast also includes Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, and Mark Hamill in other key roles. After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. Recommendability scores for The Boy and the Heron were mixed, the sprawling nature of the narrative and two hour run time were working against it to give an overall rating of 3.31.

Everyone longs for the glory days—that moment in life or career when everything clicked and it felt like you couldn't miss. On this episode, we're talking about actors and filmmakers who decided, decades later, to try and capture that magic again. From Tom Cruise revving back up as Maverick, to Michael Keaton slipping on the wig and makeup for Beetlejuice once more, to icons like Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Mark Hamill stepping back into their legendary roles—we're digging into what it means when stars revisit past hits. We also look at directors like Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, and Roland Emmerich returning to the worlds that made them famous, and comic book legends Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, and Jim Starlin revisiting their signature creations and stories. Oh, and we've got a confession about this version of Sidebar that fits right in with this theme. Plus, we ask: – What really drives these creative run-backs—fan service, nostalgia, or the quest for relevance? – Do these returns add to a legacy, or water it down? – And is there any "nostalgia porn" we'd actually welcome?

Acaba otro festival, el de Sitges, y precisamente desde allí llega el primer estreno que presentamos esta semana: La vida de Chuck de Mike Flanagan con Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill y Chiwetel Ejiofor. Adapta un relato corto de Stephen King. También hablamos de la nueva de Julia Roberts Caza de brujas, que se vio en Venecia y dirige Luca Guadagnino. Ayo Edebiri y Andrew Garfield le acompañan en el reparto. Un simple accidente ganó la Palma de Oro en el festival de Cannes. El director es Jafar Panahi. Good Boy es la historia de un perrete que ve cosas extrañas. De miedo. Y acabamos con La deuda. Dirigida por Daniel Guzmán, combina thriller y cine social. Recordando a Diane Keaton os decimos adiós, hasta la semana que viene.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Mark Hamill siempre será Luke Skywalker. Su interpretación del jedi marcó su carrera en uno de sus primeros papeles y desde entonces ha tenido que luchar contra ello. Sin embargo, tras 50 años de carrera ha compartido rodajes con directores tan diversos como John Carpenter, Samuel Fuller, Jess Franco, Mike Flanagan, Kevin Smith o Matthew Vaughn. Tras su paso por la primera saga de Star Wars, fue el primer Amadeus en su versión teatral y se embarcó en una reputada carrera como actor de doblaje que le ha llevado a encarnar a personajes como el Joker animado y muchos otros más, Un auténtico fan de la cultura pop, que comparte muchas de nuestras aficiones: fan acérrimo de los Beatles y coleccionista de cómics y memorabilia. Uno de los nuestros que merece nuestro sentido homenaje y que a día de hoy tiene status de leyenda. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Min 4: CAZA DE BRUJAS (3 estrellas) Caza de Brujas, la nueva película de Luca Guadagnino, con Julia Roberts y Andrew Garfield al frente del reparto, propone una mirada inquietante sobre la culpa, la paranoia y la necesidad de redención en una América dividida por el miedo. Lejos de la fantasía o el terror literal que sugiere su título, Caza de Brujas se adentra en un drama psicológico en el que la sospecha y la moral se enfrentan en un escenario dominado por la manipulación social y los juicios mediáticos. Min 12: LA VIDA DE CHUCK (3,5 estrellas) La nueva película dirigida por Mike Flanagan y protagonizada por Tom Hiddleston y Mark Hamill, lejos del terror clásico por el que viene apostando este cineasta, plantea un viaje emocional y metafísico que convierte la vida de un hombre corriente en una reflexión sobre el tiempo, la memoria y el sentido de la existencia. Basada en uno de los relatos más personales Stephen King, la cinta despliega tres actos que van desde la tragedia cotidiana hasta la fantasía cósmica, con la sensibilidad visual y narrativa que caracteriza a Flanagan. Su puesta en escena minimalista, su estructura fragmentada y una banda sonora cargada de melancolía convierten la historia en una experiencia profundamente humana. Min 18: LA CENA (4 estrellas) La cena, el nuevo largometraje de Manuel Gómez Pereira, combina sátira, memoria y suspense emocional. Ambientada en la España de posguerra, la historia arranca en una lujosa velada organizada para celebrar un supuesto triunfo social en plena dictadura franquista. A medida que avanza la noche, las apariencias se resquebrajan y lo que parecía un encuentro festivo se convierte en un inquietante retrato de las hipocresías, miedos y silencios de toda una generación. El reparto, encabezado por Mario Casas, Alberto San Juan, Asier Etxeandia, Antonio Resines y Nora Hernández, sostiene con precisión un guion que alterna la ironía con la tensión moral. Gómez Pereira firma una película elegante, incómoda y profundamente humana, donde cada gesto y cada silencio pesan tanto como las palabras. Min 24: LA DEUDA (3 estrellas) Después de A cambio de nada y Canallas, el director madrileño Daniel Guzmán firma una historia profundamente humana sobre la culpa, la redención y los lazos invisibles que unen a quienes comparten un pasado común. Protagonizada por Luis Tosar, María Vázquez, Salva Reina y el propio Daniel Guzmán, la película aborda el reencuentro de un grupo de antiguos amigos marcados por una promesa incumplida. Lo que comienza como una visita inocente se convierte en un ajuste de cuentas emocional donde cada gesto destapa las deudas morales que el tiempo nunca borra. MIn 31: UN SIMPLE ACCIDENTE (4,75 estrellas) Pocas veces una película logra el consenso entre crítica y público, pero Un simple accidente lo ha conseguido. En esta nueva entrega de “Estamos de Cine”, el equipo analiza el drama revelación del año, un filme que para nuestro crítico Alberto Luchini se sitúa entre las grandes obras de la temporada y se perfila, incluso, como la gran rival de Sitar en la carrera hacia los Oscar. Min 37: GOODBOY (3,5 estrellas) El cine de terror sigue reinventándose, y pocos títulos lo demuestran con tanta audacia como Good Boy, la perturbadora cinta noruega que ha sacudido los festivales y que llega ahora a las plataformas con una mezcla explosiva de humor negro, tensión psicológica y crítica social. Raquel Hernández destaca la película como una de las sorpresas más originales y efectivas del género en los últimos años, subrayando su capacidad para incomodar al espectador sin recurrir al susto fácil. Min 42: LA HERMANASTRA FEA (3,5 estrellas) A veces los cuentos de hadas esconden una verdad mucho más humana que mágica. En este nuevo episodio de “Estamos de Cine” nois adentramos también en la sorprendente revisión del mito de Cenicienta, que convierte a la villana en protagonista y desmonta, con ironía y ternura, los estereotipos del relato clásico. Min 46: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: CON UN PEQUEÑO GRAN "MR. RUVENS" Director, guionista, crítico casual e insobornable, autodefinido como anti-influencer para capaz de influir como pocos con su agudeza ácida en las redes...el joven albaceteño conocido como "Ruvens", colaborador de Abycine y rostro tan amado como criticado por su vinculación con Gran Hermano, ha respondido a la invitación de Roberto Lancha y es el protagonista de una nueva entrega de La Película de tu vida. Min 50: ESPECIAL BSO PEQUEÑA MISS SUNSHINE (4 estrellas) Hay películas que se recuerdan por sus personajes, otras por sus diálogos, y unas pocas por el modo en que la música las convierte en algo inolvidable. Ángel Luque repasa la partitura de Pequeña Miss Sunshine, una joya del cine independiente que marcó a toda una generación con su equilibrio perfecto entre melancolía y esperanza. Firmada por Mychael Danna y DeVotchKa, la banda sonora combina instrumentos acústicos, atmósferas folk y un aire de carretera que acompaña el viaje de la familia Hoover tanto física como emocionalmente.

Short and sweet episode this week as Derek is on a much-deserved vacation. Jeff and Amir give a quick review of The Long Walk, the latest Stephen King adaptation. A movie that grew with its buzz, it features some of the best performances of the year in Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, but is it enough to carry its relatively simple premise for 108 minutes? Plus, an in-depth discussion of a long history of Stephen King movies.

Welcome to #Bantober! The boys are back with an XL banter episode to get you into the Bantober spirit. Admittedly, the episode is only this long because we originally planned a bonus banter episode that will now no longer be coming out. But stay tuned for a bit more banter this month, whether you like it or not.Today's topics include Ethan Coen's lesbian wife, Madison Beer and Justin Herbert's new relationship, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's new "relationship," the long-necked Jedi Master Poof, and the Korean boy band Seventeen. Can you guess how many members Seventeen has? I promise you're not going to get it right. The boys also take time to roast several celebrities, including Mark Hamill, Simon Pegg, and Ellen DeGeneres. For the opening segment, Sonny and Tom imagine a world where Arnold Schwarzenegger played Santa Claus in 1947's "Miracle on 34th Street." Can you believe that role won an Oscar to begin with? It was a different time I suppose. Which is bad news for Arnold because people did *not* enjoy Austrians around that time. Still, you can't tell us he wouldn't make a great Santa.#BantoberHosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).Theme by Josh Britt (jbrittmusic.com)Instagram: AnOscarForArnoldTwitter: @AnOscar4ArnoldTikTok: AnOscarForArnoldContact: AnOscarForArnold@gmail.com

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**In this episode of Film is Lit, we're joined by our good friend and fellow Stephen King enthusiast, Mike Feser, as we take "The Long Walk" - both literally and figuratively - through the 2025 film adaptation of King's chilling 1979 novel. It's a faithful adaptation, depicting a harrowing journey that tests more than stamina, and we're here to break down every grueling mile: the performances, the tone, and that shocking ending. Plus, we talk about Mark Hamill's SECOND Stephen King role of the year - trading in the sweet grandpa from "The Life of Chuck" for what is basically Uncle Sam (in shades!). So lace up those boots, listeners... this episode goes the distance!#TheLongWalk #FilmIsLitPodcast #StephenKing #MarkHamill #FrancisLawrence #DavidJonsson #CooperHoffman #JudyGreer #BenWang #RomanGriffin Davis#DannyGaylord #MikeFeser #BookVsMovie #KingAdaptation #HorrorMovies #DystopianThriller #Moviereview

Anthology October continues with another set of stories that have us wondering if the main nerd could actually get it. Are you a bourbon in the parking lot with Wes kind of folk or a game of billiards with a werewolf sort? Do you like your hair from a can or wriggling in the back of your throat? Do you prefer Luke Skywalker with blue eyes or his brown eye? Cigarette math, the Tom Bosley hair club for men (of which we are presidents somehow) and almost Mark Hamill's butthole. It's John Carpenter's Body Bags, this time on Doom Generation!

You may think the American economy stinks now but it's still not bad enough to warrant the twisted walk that's portrayed in the movie “The Long Walk.” This movie takes place in a alternative history that resembles the 1950s. There was a great war and most people are in poverty. However there is an annual event called The Long Walk that's meant to inspire every state in America to work harder to make the country prosper again. A man from each state is chosen to participate in The Long Walk from a pool of men from each state who signed up. If you are the last man remaining at the end, you're rich and you are granted one wish for whatever you want. The rules? Very simple. If you stop walking long enough, you get shot dead. So lace up your Nikes and try not to have too much fun! The Long Walk is run by a character called The Major who is portrayed to be a malevolent, heartless blowhard so it makes sense he's played by Mark Hamill. Is it worth checking this movie out at the theater? Check out this episode to find out. “The Long Walk” also stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Roman Griffin Davis and Judy Greer. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Step Brothers  Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence asks audiences to take a Long Walk in Stephen King's shoes for the 2025 movie adaptation of the horror writer's 1979 dystopian novel.

Today on New Movie Monday we lace up our boots and walk through a nightmarish American landscape in The Long Walk. We unpack the rules and weaponization of the Long Walk by the militarized state, the dynamic of these young men and their myriad of goals and dreams, and finally how this movie may capture the constant cycle of doom as America feels like it maybe beyond the American Dream.  This is a heavy, oppressive movie.

Mark Hamill gets that you probably know more about Star Wars than he does and he's ok with that. In fact, he's so ok with where he's at in his career, he's really not worried about what comes next. Mark talks with Marc about his early days on soap operas, the faith he had in Star Wars being a big hit while they were making it, the casting troubles he came up against in Hollywood that made him seek work on Broadway, and the voiceover acting that changed his career. They also talk about his connection to Late Night with David Letterman and his recent work in two Stephen King adaptations, The Life of Chuck and The Long Walk. Hosted on Acast.
