Re-Visiting 'Willow' w/ Mike G. from Masters of the Nerdiverse Pod
Apr 22, 2021•1 hr 13 min
Episode description
They don't make 'em like they used to.
Jake + Mitch welcome special guest Mike G. from Masters of the Nerdiverse Podcast to dish on a true cult classic, WILLOW. Because legacy matters and it's high-time the guys lay down their definitive takes on George Lucas' random epic about wizards and witches.
Along the way they tackle the tough topics:
- Is WILLOW just a poor man's LORD OF THE RINGS?
- Mullet Wars: Val Kilmer vs Billy Ray Cyrus
- Remember when good practical effects were a thing?
From rich storytelling to traumatized childhood nostalgia, WILLOW really is a miracle of a film. And with a legacy like that it's easy to see how the love for such a wild flick runs so deep.
The 80s were a wild time and we're all the better for it. Right?
Be sure to give a listen, rate, and review!
