Shadow Moon (w/ Tricia Ellis)

Published: Sept. 30, 2015, 6:03 a.m.

What happens when Star Wars creator/destroyer George Lucas hires X-Men writer Chris Claremont to make a trilogy in the style of Lord of the Rings?\xa0 An incomprehensible, sodden mess, as it turns out.\xa0 A gritty reimagineering of slash sequel to a schlocky, shticky, slapsticky non-hit children's movie called Willow, Shadow Moon nearly brings J., Collision, and special guest Tricia Ellis\xa0to their knees in this rollicking, pain-filled episode.\xa0 Grab your favorite Renaissance Faire outfit, crank the ocarina to eleven, and join us, won't you?

NOTE: Our guest this week had some unfortunate audio issues with her recording and we had to get a bit creative with editing. Please forgive the occasional crackle and the lack of dramatic reading. Thanks!
