348: Howard Kazanjian - A Conversation with Return of the Jedi Producer

On this special Thanksgiving episode, we welcome producer Howard Kazanjian to the show! He is the producer of Return of the Jedi and Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark among many others! What was it like to work with George Lucas...AND Steven Spielberg...AND Alfred Hitchcock?? It’s an amazing hour+ conversation where we even talk about the most dangerous amusement park rides.    We’d like to dedicate this episode to the late J.W. Rinzler who initiated this interview. Rinzler is the author of ‘ Howard Kazanjian: A Producer’s Life ’, a phenomenal biography on the life and career of Mr. Kazanjian. There is so much in this book, you’ll want to pay for it twice. Also we want to thank Brandon Alinger who picked up where J.W. left off and help set up the discussion you are about to hear.    We also share what you Skywalkers are thankful for, on this week of Thanksgiving. Some thoughtful and lovely comments from all of you. We are thankful for you!  Please check out our
