Description

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film. 



In this episode, we’re bolting across the galaxy with 1980’s little-known arthouse obscurity The Empire Strikes Back. Directed by Irvin Kershner with a screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan based on a story by George Lucas, this film is arguably the most beloved space fantasy ever cooked up. Given the amount of dedicated Star Wars fans out there, we’re a little daunted to tackle the relationships in this one but this rebel alliance will rise to the challenge, with the help of a very special guest. Joining us tonight, lightsaber in hand, is the mighty Marty Mackillop, founder of The James Bond Picture Archive at Thunderballs.




Recorded in May 2023. 




Produced by Catrin Lowe and Rich Nelson
