Posted on by

In the summer of 1977, when the world had serious Star Wars Fever, noted film critic Tom Shales snuck out one of the most fascinating reviews of the original film on NPR.  With just one viewing, he was able to make amazing observations about the film that people are still just catching up to almost 45 years later.   Join us as we look at this wild and magical time and thoroughly analyze Tom’s review line by line.   What’s spot on?  What do we not quite agree with it?  How does it make us look at the 77 Star Wars in new ways? PLUS – IS Star Wars the stoned movie you don’t have to be stoned for?  Listen today!
