Welcome back to Westview and WandaVision ! This first Disney+ Original Marvel series is a mystery/romance that kept fans guessing for nine weeks on the fate of Wanda Maximoff and Vision. So now it’s time to debrief and decompress with our friends Tricia Barr and BJ Priester , both founders of FangirlBlog and Hyperspace Theories , to analyze the storytelling and world-building of this marvelous show. We also discuss how risky WandaVision was for Marvel, film score and music analysis and our overall thoughts. Where will these characters will go from here? And where are Billy and Tommy!   Raya and the Last Dragon premiered on Disney+’s Premiere Access and in theatres on March 5th. Richard and Sarah share a spoiler-free review and help you decide whether or not to purchase Walt Disney Studios’ latest animated feature film.

STN 320: Corey Dee Williams & Stephen Costantino - Podcast Party with Jabba’s Henchmen!

It’s a Podcast Party with Corey Dee Williams and Stephen Costantino as they reminisce about their time playing Jabba’s henchmen in Return of the Jedi! Corey played Klaatu and also doubled for his dad Billy Dee as Lando Calrissian. Stephen played a Gamorrean Guard - both had a blast during the filming of the Sail Barge Battle back in 1982. So many great stories, they even share tales that the other didn’t know!   Corey and Stephen are musicians, and they are working on a project called 3-Dee Nucleus , collaborating with about 30 musicians. It’s a tremendous project! Check it out, as well as Cloud City Funk, a completely awesome music video rife with Star Wars actors and cosplayers.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XNWX6BKB2A   Also on this episode:   Join us for Pop Culture Trivia every Friday night at 6:30pm PT - livestreaming on twitch.tv/skywalkingpod .
