The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the Disney movie The Black Hole for the 40th anniversary of its release. Thanks to some coincidental (?) timing, there were a lot of films coming out in this time frame with at least some Star Wars influence. We talk about this film and some others like it, the cast, the story, and a ton of other fun stuff. Plus tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
Announcements:
Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website
We're super excited to announce our partnership with ComicBooks For Kids. Details on the website (and you should be listening to hear more, too 🙂)
What we're up to this week:
Birthday party, reminiscing about Pantera, and it devolves a bit from there 😉
Netflix Remastered - music documentaries
Elks Lodge wrestling night - an interesting experience
Big Bag o' Nothing - not much fun this week

We're finding it fascinating to see some of the movies that were heavily influenced (in one way or another) by the Star Wars phenomenon. I promise you, though, we're not going fishing for the really bad ones. No plans for that on the horizon right now, anyway 😉

The Visitor #1 (Valiant) [I double checked, and it does have The in the title. It's just really really tiny on the cover. -m]
