Summary
We're finally paying the balance and revisiting our long-lost episode from early in in CinemArcade history: the 1988 fantasy adventure WILLOW! Ron Howard and George Lucas' high-fantasy epic has been a slow-growing cult favorite, and whether the franchise has a future or not, it's still an exceptionally crafted and entertaining romp. Even more exciting, we were able to coax Thirty Twenty Ten podcaster JR Ralls out of semi-retirement to talk about one of his beloved favorites, as well as play two different game adaptations: an arcade hack-and-slash adventure, and an NES ZELDA-style RPG! Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas McCambridge Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast YouTube: @CinemArcade Next week's episode: The Lawnmower Man
