The George Lucas Talk Show

We all have our niche enjoyments, and for me, that’s this talk show/experience featuring the real George Lucas (as played by Connor Ratliff) and the real Toydarian Watto (as played by Griffin Newman). Deep 2020 malaise attacks were defeated when I watched Lucas, Watto, and producer Patrick Cotnoir lose their minds in Zoom windows while they forced actors, directors, and comedian friends to discuss cultural miscellanea such as Lucas’ freakish animated ELO musical Strange Magic. As if knowing the current newscycle had me in a similar spiral to early COVID, GLTS hits Austin on the first Thursday of December. Special guests include filmmaker Andrew Bujalski and critic and author Matt Zoller Seitz. – James Scott
