Special Event: Late Seating: THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL
MST Club presents! Word wound its way around to us that the podcast Late Seating has done riffs of a number of Christmas movies, and one of them is the dreaded (yet strangely entertaining) Star Wars Holiday Special. CHTucker mixed the video of the SWHS with Late Seating's audio, and tonight that's what we're watching! Do I have to describe the indescribable? The Star Wars Holiday Special is from a strange mixture of multiple pop culture phenomena: the height of Star Wars mania, the era of the TV variety show, and the careers of Harvey Korman, Art Carney and Bea Arthur. The results include a lengthy segments of Chewbacca's family talking to each other entirely in Wookese without subtitles, Carney playing a space trader, Korman doing three comedy segments, Arthur running a cantina on Tatooine, and a disturbing VR performance by Diahann Carroll for Chewie's pater. Riff dates to around 2020; the SWHS hails from 1978. Previously on Fanfare, far too many previousies on Metafilter to recount here.
