Six Degrees of Star Wars
Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.
Six Degrees of Star Wars
Ep. 60: Coming of Age is a Wicked Labyrinth (1986)
Stealing a page out of the book belonging to In Each Retelling, we mark the release of Wicked For Good by doing the closest thing Lucasfilm ever made to The Wizard of Oz -- a coming of age fantasy musical that features a singularly famous pop star in as one of the two leads in a very... intense relationship.
Maybe there's more to this than we realized.
