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

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.

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.

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.
