The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the groundbreaking effects work of Industrial Light & Magic. ILM was spawned from George Lucas' unwillingness to work within the Hollywood machine, and they've amassed an impressive list of work to date. We talk about the beginnings of the team, the stunning list of movies and TV they worked on, their contribution to film in general, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
Announcements:
Come hang out with us! We usually have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

What we're up to this week:
Comics are coming back, set up your pull lists, people! SpaceX launch, the infamous Snyder Cut (rant alert), Netflix's The Lion's Share and a less good doc (In Search of the Great Beast 666: Aleister Crowley), Manos: The Hands of Fate au naturel (no MST3K) and a couple of "sequels", secret projects, show planning, RDR roleplay, fighting our way through the interesting times we're in
