#86: The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special Revisited (feat. The Mixed Reviews!)

  • Summary

  • On this day in 1978, CBS aired what they hoped would be an instant classic: a brand-new holiday special to be rewatched and beloved for years to come...set in a galaxy far, far away.

    The Star Wars Holiday Special.

    Today, on the 46th anniversary of it's airing and Life Day, we're revising the classic, and we've brought along the incredibly talented and lovely hosts of The Mixed Reviews, Gavin and Louie, to help us celebrate this incredibly camp, often absurd, and this surprisingly queer piece of art!

    (It involved Bruce Vilanch and Bob Mackie, I mean, hello?).

    We also discussed 2023's documentary and book of the same name A Disturbance in The Force: How and Why The Star Wars Holiday Special Happened.
