Special Report: More American Graffiti (1979)

Released in 1979, Bill Norton's More American Graffiti reunites most of the original cast of George Lucas's 1973 film (save Richard Dreyfus). Rather than looking at a single night, the film spans four New Years Eves across the lives of five main characters.

Special Report: Solo - A Star Wars Story (2018)

Special Guest: Rob Bredow
Guest Co-Hosts: Chris Bricklemyer, Josh Stewart

Ron Howard's Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) is the origin story of Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) when he was a little scamp on Corellia and all the things that put him on the path to be the Han Solo we all loved... before he was horrifically murdered by his own son.

Chris Bricklemyer and Josh Stewart join Mike to discuss the oft-maligned and troubled Star Wars film. VFX Supervisor and Co-Producer Rob Bredow talks about his book Making Solo: A Star Wars Story.

This episode uses clips from MauLer's Solo "review".

Episode 281: The First Nudie Musical (1976)

Special Guest: Bruce Kimmel
Guest Co-Host: Angela Mac, Trevor Gumbel

Released in 1976, The First Nudie Musical stars Stephen Nathan as Harry Schecther, a down on his luck filmmaker who's reluctantly entered the world of pornography to keep his father’s studio solvent. He gets the bright idea to shoot a musical and, at the behest of his backers, a nudie musical at that. With the help of his assistant, Rosie (Cindy Williams) and without the help of the wet-behind-the-ears director foisted upon him, John Smithee (writer/co-director Bruce Kimmel), we see the production of Come, Come Now the titular first nudie musical.

Angela Mac and Trevor Gumbel join Mike to discuss this fun-filled film.
