We all attended a screening of the Star Wars Holiday Special in Vancouver, Washington a couple of weekends ago, and I reached out to one of the co-producers on the documentary film A Disturbance of the Force: How the Star Wars Holiday Special Happened, who happens to live in our town, and he agreed to host us for an informal discussion of the Special, the documentary, and his website.
If you live in the Portland area, check out the Kiggins Theater. They screen the Holiday Special every year, and also do lots of other fun events including the Oscar-nominated short films.

A quick end of the year episode about the new Disney+ short film (40 minutes), Shepherd, based on the Frederick Forsyth novella of the same name. I believe the story is more well known by folks in Britain and former Crown Colonies than it is to American audiences; this was certainly our first experience of the story, and it’s quite delightful.
All the best holiday greetings to all of you, and I hope you have a great New Year.

Spoilers abound!
The screenplay for The Last Voyage of the Demeter has been passed around Hollywood since the late 90s. It’s finally in theaters, and the screenwriter, Bragi Schut, joins us to talk about the new movie, based on a brief chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. (Chapter 7 “Captain’s Log” if you want to read it.)
We all had a great time at the movie and we hope you enjoy this insightful conversation with Bragi.
