EP240 The Complete Fan

We recorded this one live on #ScarifLive last week and dropping it in here this week. As I discuss movies and fandom in my day to day, I realize that as a kid, I wanted more of what I loved. Star Wars led me down a path of wanting to learn about ILM and Lucasfilm, etc. In turn I found out about Indiana Jones and Willow, Star Trek and countless other science fiction shows and movies because of my love of the genre. But I'm finding out that fans now a days hyper fixate on one aspect of an IP. No one talks about specific directors of special effects artists, etc. It was that curiosity that made me learn the names Ben Burtt, John Dykstra, Marcia Lucas, etc and that yearning never died.
I brought a panel on to discuss how they experienced that yearning for more. We touched on how we learned about shows like Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars on TV as Scott put it and more. Are today's fans changing their need to reach out and seek more within the genre of sci fi and fantasy? If you love Darth Vader and don't know who Sebastian Shaw is then THIS might be an episode for you. Thanks for listening.
Remember, we are a proud founding member of the RED5Network, and that's the scuttlebutt.
