Episode 56: The Ewok Adventure with Eric Walker Nov 26, 2014

Show notes

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Caravan Of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, we have a special guest, Mace Towani himself - Eric Walker! We talk with Eric about the behind the scenes stories of Ewok Adventure; the sequel, Ewoks: The Battle For Endor; his new book that journals the making of Ewok Adventure, and, we talk a lot about his transition into music. Eric is a composer and song writer, who has a new CD coming out in December called 'Universal Delight', he also has an independent record label which is always looking for tomorrow's talent.

Learn about Eric Walker the actor, musician, composer and stick-thief (listen and find out) in this fun-filled episode of Skywalking Through Neverland!

The Ewok films were released as a double DVD set in 2004 but apparently some one goofed and forgot to include the mandatory extras, commentary tracks or bloopers (you just know there is footage of Ewoks stumbling and rolling down hills). Eric and Warwick "Wicket" Davis filmed an entire documentary while working on Caravan Of Courage, so we invite you to view this special preview of footage they took. Then stay tuned for a Campaign to bring this Documentary and extras to a Blu-ray release of The Ewok Adventure movies. Here is an exclusive peak at these extras, edited by Eric Walker himself:

Next week we will be Skywalking to Wisconsin and will not be able to bring you an episode, but we will be back the following week with a whole slate of Holiday-themed episodes in December.

Happy Thanksgiving, and, enjoy the 88-second trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

Talking Apes TV 4: "The Trap" Oct 24, 2014

Show notes

Hey Hey Ape fans! Talking Apes TV is the podcast that explores the Planet Of The Apes TV series and why they still stand up after 40 years. Join Richard and Mark as they discuss their favorite episode of the Planet Of The Apes TV series, “The Trap” (aired 9/27/1974).

Now Available on it's own separate feed on iTunes and Stitcher!

Plot Summary: This episode is a departure from most - we see General Urko and Pete Burke working together in order to survive. While trying to get themselves out of a centuries-old subway station, Urko sees a poster for the San Francisco zoo. If Urko weren’t angry enough at the human race, seeing a gorilla in a cage tells him that maybe apes weren’t always the supreme. How will Pete survive this?

We also read some great listener feedback that ties in the current Ape movies with the originals.
