This is another live Micro (well, "micro") episode from a convention. The sound quality unfortunately isn't as nice as our Metal Gear panel from Portland, but it's also less terrible than the Long Island Dragon Slayer episode. A middle ground of sorts.
It may sound echoey, but this episode afforded us a rare opportunity: A live conversation with one of the stars of iconic NES-era feature film The Wizard. Luke Edwards (who played Jimmy, the eponymous "wizard") was a good sport and fielded questions for an hour about a movie he participated in when he was just a wee sprout, and there's some pretty interesting behind-the-scenes perspectives on the film⊠albeit from the viewpoint of someone who was still in elementary school at the time.
Description: Live from Super FamiCon, Jeremy Parish and Chris Sims talk about Nintendo's finest cinematic achievement, The Wizard, with the actor who played the film's title character: Luke Edwards.
Also⊠you've probably heard by now, but Patreon is changing the way contributions to campaigns work, putting more of a burden for transaction fees on YOU. We're not thrilled about it, and we'll understand if the increased costs force you to drop your support for Retronauts. That said, though, I'm contemplating some ideas for patron-exclusive content that should help sweeten the deal if you stick around. Please stay tuned!
