This week join Andrew and Jonathan with special return guest Frank Bridges (The New Brunswick Music Scene Archive) as they struggle to get through the atrocity that is 1978's The Star Wars Holiday Special. You've heard about, you've read about it, you might have even blinded yourself attempting to watch such garbage - but now listen to Inside the Box dissect the special and place it in context with the decline in popularity of TV variety specials at the end of the 1970s.

Then be sure to stop back two weeks from now on Thursday December 31st, 2015 to listen to a very special New Year's Eve full length episode. You can leave a comment on this page and can always reach us via email at: feedback@tvhistorypod.com
