The Rewind Holiday Special: How Star Wars Saved Christmas??
Manage episode 223844470 series 2467285
If you’re getting a little tired of listening to hearing Mariah Carey sing “All I Want for Xmas Is You” for the 100th time in the last two weeks, take a listen to the REWIND Holiday Special, where we get all egg nog drunk on all things related to the holiday season - the movies, TV specials, music, and food that we love for about 30 days at the end of the year.
And...we examine one of the strangest shows to ever hit TV - the Star Wars Holiday Special, which aired once and only once on CBS on November 17, 1978, and for good reason. I talk to director, author, and Star Wars expert Kyle Newman about how this much-maligned show came to be and why it probably should have never happened.
