RebelForce Radio Podcast Episode 1 Review

RebelForce Radio
The first episode of RebelForce Radio has hit the web with hosts Jason Swank and Jimmy Mac, who have moved from The Forcecast. It's a new show, but does it have the same quality and regular content that we've come to expect and love? Well, I've just listened to the first episode and you can all breath now, the answer is YES. To use their words, it's a different house but has all the same ingredients.

The first thing they address on the new show is the elephant in the room, and the question on all our minds, why the change? Jimmy and Jason sum it up in one word, Independence. They explain that they can increase communication on their website, facebook page and other web elements without being filtered, and when they communicate it will be from them. They assured us that Clone Wars round ups, live shows and fear not, the Where's Kitster? campaign would still be in the podcast although they joked they contacted Kitster about the changes but not heard anything.

Once they had addressed this burning subject it was business as usual. Their first report was the big and happy news of George Lucas getting engaged to Mellody Hobson. They also speculate about sightings of the big G.L. around the Chicago area in particular Nike town.

The main part of the show (and quite rightly) was taken up talking to Director and Clone Wars man Dave Filoni. The interview was very insightful and it was interesting to hear that Dave Filoni doesn't know how long the show will run for. He asked the question to George Lucas who just said more or less "Carry on." As promised by the hosts they spend half an hour asking Dave questions posted by their readers and fans from their Facebook page. This added extra interatction which really makes you feel part of the show. I hope they do this more often as I tend to find this is lacking in other podcasts.

Last and by no means least is one of the regulars that we've all come to love, the "Billy Dee Williams quote of the week." I won't spoil where the quote comes from, but it's a good one.

The first show doesn't feel like a first show. It feels more like business as usual. Even the music at the end is the same. The show is full of high quality content, high production values, plenty of sound bites and professional hosts who know what they're doing. It's no wonder that this premiered as number one in its category on Itunes, and that was just the promo!

Put this on your subscribe list. If you're a serious Star Wars fan and you're not listening then you're missing out on an important part of the Star Wars community.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Have you seen other Star Wars VII movie posters?  Let me know. Rob Wainfur @welshslider

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
