Talking Apes 12: Greg Jein Tribute / Max's Master Com Cosplay Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

Max shares stories on his Master-Com cosplay outfit. Who is Master-Com you ask?

He is a droid seen in the classic Marvel Star Wars comics issues 18-23. Master-Com was the personal assistant to Simon Greyshade who was the administrator of The Wheel casino. Think of a really buff C-3PO. This costume was years in the development but Max got it done just in time for Star Wars Celebration 2022. Looking back at all the great cosplay, this was the deepest dive character.

Max also pays a heartfelt tribute to his mentor and model maker and film historian, Greg Jein, who recently passed away. Listeners of THE MAX EFX PODCAST will remember many stories Max has shared in the past as Greg was the first person to hire him in the effects back in the mid 1980's. Some of Greg's credits include Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Steven Spielberg's 1941, and Star Trek.

He will be missed but remembered very fondly…

LIGHT AND MAGIC is a 6-part documentary series now streaming on Disney+.

380: Disney's BOLT! Revisited - with the Main Street Electrical Podcast Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

We continue our look back at Disney classics with 2008's animated film BOLT! David Dollar and Jenn Novotny of The Main Street Electrical Podcast join us to share their stories and thoughts on this 48th Disney animated feature. Starring John Travolta, Miley Cyrus and Susie Essman, BOLT! was directed by Chris Williams (Big Hero 6) and Byron Howard (Tangled/Zootopia). BOLT! marks the end of the studio's early 2000's growing pains, and we explore all the ways in which this movie is a stepping stone into Disney's Renaissance Revival beginning with 2009's Princess and the Frog.

BOLT Synopsis

Having spent his life on a film set, Bolt believes he has super powers. When he thinks that his "person", 12-year-old Penny, is kidnapped, Bolt runs away to try and save her, but ends up getting shipped cross-country to NYC.

Out in the real world, Bolt accumulates a team consisting of a sarcastic alley cat named Mittens, and "Bolt super-fan" hamster named Rhino. They embark on a journey back to L.A. to find Penny, as Bolt gradually learns that he does not have powers and must learn that he belongs in the ordinary world, as an ordinary dog.

379: The Disney Wish Cruise Ship Review with Dave Parfitt Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

The Disney Wish, the newest and biggest ship in the Disney Cruise Line, has just returned from its christening cruise! Our good friend and travel writer, Dave Parfitt, makes his return to STN and this time he's bringing many stories from this latest excursion aboard The Wish. This ship is filled with new shows, MARVELous meals, a Hyperspace Lounge, but watch where you step in the Cargo bay because there is Porg poop. And thanks to the Lucasfilm story group, we now know just what color that is. We also get the deets on what is in a $5,000 Kaiburr Crystal cocktail!!

The god of thunder is back, and this time he's bringing his goats, Batman - the god butcher, and a shredded Natalie Portman for our THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER breakdown!
