On May 1, Rob Daniels from CKWR and Visions In Sound recorded a show live to tape at TheMuseum in Kitchener.  Here are some photos and videos of Rob, with Erik Woods and myself.

The show, which will air in a few weeks as part of Star Wars month, covers the amazing soundtrack by John Williams and stories of the movie’s creation.  Rob will take you from the bleak early 1990s, to the Special Editions, and finally to May 1999 when The Phantom Menace was finally released. He discusses the fallout, in particular with actors Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best, who bore the brunt of fan hate.  On a lighter note, he also tells you the story of how Erik Woods broke the internet when he broadcast the world premier of the soundtrack!

Stay tuned in May to Visionsinsound.ca for this and much more great Star Wars content!

While we enjoyed the music, Erik and I spent roughly two hours discussing Star Wars and Indiana Jones.  Like typical fans, we talked about what we would have done to make both series better!  And we had some great ideas, trust me.  We talked about our own ideas for the prequels, the sequels, and an Indiana Jones adventure that, like poetry, would rhyme.

TheMuseum is a wonderful location for such an event, though they need to do more advertising.  Their website didn’t even show that they were open that night.  The lounge area where Rob was recording had ample space and a bar.

I hope to see Rob do more tapings at the TheMuseum in the future.  Long live Visions In Sound!
