This week Jason and Gabe along with our friend Regal Robot’s Tom Spina welcome the legendary creature effects and makeup artist NICK MALEY! Nick worked on some of our favorite cantina aliens but also had A LOT to do with the creation of the original YODA puppets used in Empire Strikes Back. Join us as Nick talks all about his time with YODA on Empire, making the cyclops and beast fro KRULL, working on LIFEFORCE, what he’s up to these days and A LOT more. It’s an inspiring, epic conversation and we were so happy to have Nick with us! So watch out for centipedes and celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS!
NEW! This week Jason and Gabe are talking about the greatest gamble of The Empire Strikes Back, the Yoda puppet!! With the sequel to the most successful movie ever made going way over schedule and over budget, the extremely important Yoda was not figured until the very last minute. The fate of the entire future of Star Wars rested on the little green shoulders of that puppet! We go into Yoda’s creation, filming and how the puppet changed with ROTJ, TPM and TLJ!
