Listen "Media Disruption and Nostalgia"
Episode Synopsis
Why the renewed interest in "Star Wars: Battlefront 2"? What are the ambitious plans from Chinese studios to AI-remake classic kung fu films featuring legends like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li. Plus, and why the urgency to recover Marty McFly's lost guitar from "Back to the Future"? We also take a deep dive into Stephen King's 'interior eye' from "Danse Macabre," tracing its roots back to Stan Freberg's iconic radio sketch, "Anybody Here Remember Radio?" Was TV truly a disruptive force for radio? Tune in as we tackle the fears of the 1960s and 1980s, as both Freberg and King weigh in on the impact of radio dramas. Links: Michael J.
