Can you also address why there is no mention of the inconsistencies in Obi-Wan's wig (literally) in The Phantom Podcast. It's outrageous!

I'm from Portland, and a few years ago visiting my parents around xmas we went to a fancy restaurant that has semi-communal seating. I teach film studies and mentioned something about researching special effects and the lady next to us speaks up to say 'Did you say THX?!" I looked kinda puzzled and said something like, no I was just talking about special effects and started to say something about being a grad student but she cut me off to say "Oh okay. Well, you know I starred in THX-1138!" And so we talked to the star of THX-1138 for a while. She'd started to act again, mostly small roles for fans. Nice lady! Still weird though!

Finished listening this morning. Great episode. Really fascinating history — I love this era of film history.

BTW I just read the Letterboxd description of THX1138... so, it’s pretty much Garden State in the future with awesome aesthetics and less The Shins?

I love the stories regarding Lucas being technically brilliant w/r/t craft and structure but initially totally uninterested in story. More of this, please!!
