Description

In today's episode, we're going on an adventure to the world of Faerie! Moriah leads the discussion on the 2007 fantasy adventure Stardust, starring Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Robert De Niro. We take a look at the story's history, from the original book by Neil Gaiman in 1999 to the production in 2006 with lots of enormous sets and special effects to its (unfortunate) rather mediocre release. We've got romance, sword fights, captains in drag, and villainous witches galore in this episode. We also drop some Ray Romano, Sid the Sloth, Helen Parr (ElastiGirl), and Vin Diesel impressions, so stick around and find out if they're any good!
