Pick of the Day: The George Lucas Talk Show (in NYC) 10/9

September 15, 2023

The arrival of Ahsoka on Disney+ should signal an especially special time for The George Lucas Talk Show since the significance of Ahsoka being a main player in the Star Wars Universe is all at the behest of George Lucas himself. Truly, any excuse for Connor Ratliff to don a beard and a slick, custom souvenir jacket and join a Watto-fied Griffin Newman and Patrick Cotnoir for GLTS is all good with us.

The hysterical, very meta talk show is not as regularly scheduled as it once was, which is why we feel particularly tasked with highlighting when it does come around, especially when it’s playing such a venue as The Bell House. Come Mon. Oct 9th at 7;30PM, Ratliff and company will assemble for GLTS and, who knows, maybe even strike a deal between the WGA, SAG-AFTRA, AMPTP?

Only one way to find out. Go get tickets for $25.42 here before they sell out.

You’ve either seen the new Indiana Jones trailer or it has popped up in a myriad of feeds that you’re on or subscribed to. In either case, you’ve got to pondering why, with George Lucas EP’ing, Harrison Ford is getting digitally de-aged for the movie (especially since the results of that with The Irishman and Robert DeNiro were properly ridiculed).

Well, you might get your answer as a holiday gift in the form of Connor Ratliff’s George Lucas Talk Show and their very first Holiday Special since lockdown. Griffin Newman as Watto and Patrick Cotnoir will, of course, be on board along with an untold treasure trove of special guests worthy of any “Life Day”.

This 2022 George Lucas Talk Show Holiday Special is set for Mon. Dec. 19th at 9:30PM ET/6:30PM PT (there’s a livestream available for $10) at Caveat in NYC. Tickets are only $20 and we highly suggest you snag them right now.

The latest chapter in the Star Wars Universe, Andor came out this week as the Star Wars series for “grown-ups” with critically acclaimed, very grown-up writer/director Tony Gilroy set at the helm. If this tale of how the Rebellion, devoid of any wielding of the Force, manifested itself indeed is your inroads into Star Wars, you might want to hear what Connor Ratliff’s version of George Lucas has to say about it.

That’s right, The George Lucas Talk Show is back again, live, both in person and on livestream, from Caveat in the heart of NYC’s Lower East Side. Griffin Newman as Watto and Patrick Cotnoir will be, of course, joining in all of the fourth-wall-breaking-fun on Thurs. Sept. 29th at 9:30PM ET/6:30PM PT. Tickets are $20 right now for the in-person show and $10 for the livestream via Stellar.

Best go get them now as more than just Star Wars fans will be in attendance.

Pick of the Day: The 1st Annual George Lucas Talk Show Star Wars Describe-a-Thon (Live-stream)

connor ratliff, describe a thon, george lucas talk show, star wars day

Star Wars Day, May 4th (you know, because “May the fourth be with you” was too good of a pun to pass up) is coming next week and there will be a myriad of things to do to mark the day (though the originally slated release of Obi Wan on Disney+ got pushed to later in the month).

One of those things that you can and should definitely get into if you’re both a Star Wars and comedy fan is Connor Ratliff transforming himself once again into George Lucas for The George Lucas Talk Show to do the 1st Annual Star Wars Day DESCRIBE-A-THON. Since it would be copyright infringement to screen it on Planet Scum, Connor as Lucas, Patrick, Griffin, and guests will describe the vast array of films in the Star Wars cinematic universe, which ought to be a hoot (even if you’re not the big a Star Wars person).

This 1st Annual GLTS Star Wars Day DESCRIBE-A-THON will be set for May 4th at 7:30PM ET/4:30PM PT live-streamed on Planet Scum.

Curious to see how this version of Lucas will describe the digital re-release of the original Star Wars (the one where Lucas digitally added CGI creatures that no one was really asking for.

Oh yeah, they’ll be raising money for Grant Imahara’s Steam Foundation.

Pick of the Day: The George Lucas Talk Show (in LA) 6/3

Since it endures through the pandemic as a virtual show on top of it already being a beloved live show in-person for several years before COVID-19 was even a thought, The George Lucas Talk Show should be commended for its resilience, agility, and longevity as well as being thoroughly enjoyed as one of the most humorous curiosities to come in the last 15 years or so.

Connor Ratliff as George Lucas joined by Griffin Newman’s Watto and producer Patrick Cotnoir are actually going to be doing The George Lucas Talk Show live and in-person, once more, in LA, a rare occurrence even without a pandemic. If you’re not anywhere near Dynasty Typewriter, you’ll be happy to know that they’ll also be live-streaming the show as well, which should be pretty swell getting to see/hear it with a live crowd.

This very special live, LA edition (the last one was probably in 2017 or 2018 at UCB Sunset?) of The George Lucas Talk Show is set for Jun. 3rd at Dynasty Typewriter at 8PM PT (streams 8PM PT/11PM ET). Go grab your tickets for $20 right now ($15 for live-stream) here.

Pick of the Day: The George Lucas Talk Show Holiday Special 12/20

The Sunday before Christmas, The George Lucas Talk Show, Connor Ratliff’s legendary talk show that he hosts as retired filmmaker George Lucas, is going big for a holiday special that will very likely go much better than a certain infamous Star Wars Holiday Special.

This Sunday, Dec. 20th, Ratliff along with The George Lucas Talk Show crew of Patrick Cotnoir and Griffin Newman will be joined by a cavalcade of special guests from far, far away (because aren’t we all far, far away from each other in this pandemic) for a 15 HOUR marathon fundraiser for Feeding America. We have no doubt that there so’s so much up the sleeves of Lucas’ satin bomber jacket that will fill that 15 hour run.

Per @connorratliff:

TWO GOALS FOR THIS SUNDAY’S GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW HOLIDAY SPECIAL:

1) to raise at least $20k for @FeedingAmerica

2) to do a 15-hour show that doesn’t feel as long as The Star Wars Holiday Special. (Any tips, @HamillHimself?)

How to give: • http://bit.ly/gltsgives • donate directly, send receipt to thegeorgelucastalkshow@gmail.com

The George Lucas Talk Show Holiday Special starts 7AM PT/10AM ET this Sunday over at Planet Scum.

There Will Be a Marathon of Chris Gethard’s Failed Comedy Central Series “Big Lake” for Charity

The archives are definitely being cleaned out while quarantine continues. So many artists of all ilks have been digging through their past works and sharing pieces that have been rarely seen or not seen whatsoever.

This Sunday, The George Lucas Talk Show will be airing Big Lake, the incredibly short lived sitcom on Comedy Central that was supposed to be Chris Gethard’s big debut as a TV star. Connor Ratliff, Griffin Newman, and Patrick Cotnoir of TGLTS have managed to dig up all 10 episodes and will binging them on a marathon this Sunday on Gethard’s digital comedy network Planet Scum as well as talking to cast and creators, no less. For those that miss the days of the old school The Chris Gethard Show, this Sunday afternoon will be for you.

Of this event, Gethard comments, “Up until now, the episodes have been notoriously hard to find. I have no idea how the gang obtained them, let alone how they are distributing. I do know for a fact they tried to upload them to a porn website and they were removed for copyright violation. Big Lake: the show so bad even pornographers won’t trifle with it.”

Also, this Big Lake marathon will be raising money for water.org to bring access to clear water around the world. Tune in at 12PM PT/3PM ET at Planet Scum to join in on the binge watching and inevitable shenanigans at Gethard’s expense.
