Six Degrees of Star Wars
Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.
Six Degrees of Star Wars
Episode 6: Little Shop of Puppets
It's Theatre Kid Day here on Six Degrees of Star Wars as we tackle Frank Oz's cult classic film version of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken's hit stage adaptation of Roger Corman's B-movie flop made on a bet. Join Sam, Syd, Meredith, River, and Jasmine to squeal over puppetry, indulge in fan casting, and unpack the complexities of how horticulture is capitalism, and both will consume us all.
