Willow (1988)

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Haley Baker Callahan makes us watch a Lucasfilm classic from 1988, in which George Lucas finally gets fed up with sci-fi purists decrying Star Wars as "more of a fantasy" and says "Oh, you want a fantasy? I'll give you a fantasy!" And because everyone in the 80s knew for a fact that Lord of the Rings would never ever ever be a live-action movie, George instead threw together a buncha swords, sorcery and other sword-and-sorcery tropes, cast Wicket W. Warrick and Nick Rivers, hired Opie Cunningham to direct it, and threw in a giant two-headed ballsack dragon because why the hell not. Join Tony Goldmark, Haley Baker Callahan, Laura Crone, Brianna Garcia and Cassie Shima as they ask the dicky-bird why does he sit singing WILLOW (1988)! Check out my guests' stuff!
