The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Manage episode 379571824 series 2983098
Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.
In this episode, we’re bolting across the galaxy with 1980’s little-known arthouse obscurity The Empire Strikes Back. Directed by Irvin Kershner with a screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan based on a story by George Lucas, this film is arguably the most beloved space fantasy ever cooked up. Given the amount of dedicated Star Wars fans out there, we’re a little daunted to tackle the relationships in this one but this rebel alliance will rise to the challenge, with the help of a very special guest. Joining us tonight, lightsaber in hand, is the mighty Marty Mackillop, founder of The James Bond Picture Archive at Thunderballs.
