Cannot wait to unwrap The Star Wars Holiday Special with George Lucas Talk Show host @connorratliff.bsky.social on Sunday 12/7 at 3 pm. And be sure to come early, at 1, when we'll screen The Star Wars Holiday Special in full from the Paley Archive. More info: www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...
I made a few appearances on Good Day New York this morning to talk about our annual PaleyLand holiday extravaganza (now through 1/4), and put in a plug for my Star Wars Holiday Special talk (and screening!) on Sun 12/7 which I hope you can all attend www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I was once bullied into watching the Holiday special by Connor, Griffin Newman, and @patrickcotnoir.bsky.social. I had to watch it alone. Getting to see Chewbacca's uncle watch holographic porn should only be experienced in a group setting like this. Especially with "George Lucas" on hand!

It should absolutely be seen at least once by everyone!

Yes, 'The Star Wars Holiday Special' Is Really That Bad — And It Belongs on Disney+
The Star Wars Holiday Special is a ridiculous moment in Star Wars history, but it still deserves to be preserved on Disney+.

We had some truly incredible panels at PaleyFest NY over the past week (it wraps on Sunday with Man on the Inside). If you missed out, we'll be putting the full panels up on YouTube, starting with our sensational opener, Pluribus, moderated by @sepinwall.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFrf...

Still marveling at the brilliant maneuver Vince Gilligan pulled last night to exit Paley without anyone spotting him—and can’t believe no one else had ever thought of it before.

PaleyFest NY kicked off with a bang as @sepinwall.bsky.social moderated a fantastic Pluribus panel, and as a post-panel bonus, Vince and Rhea channeled Johnny and Ed on our (actual) Tonight Show set

I'll be moderating tonight's Pluribus discussion, so if you were lucky enough to already have tickets, say hi!
After a delay as our theaters were renovated, PaleyFest NY kicks off tonight with the show everyone is talking (and raving) about today: Pluribus. Tonight’s show is sold out but there are still tickets for some of the others www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

I’ve seen hundreds of dumb media decisions in my career (especially in the past few years) but this puts them all to shame. To jettison the industry’s most indispensable TV critic—and the only reason many people still read RS—is outrageously stupid and short-sighted.
