In 2002, a LEGO theme and companion show came and went: Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension. These days the theme is infamous for nearly bankrupting LEGO, and the show is hardly remembered at all. But Galidor wasn’t the end of the line for the co-star of the show. If anything, it was the jumping off point.
Two guests this episode! First, it’s Marie-Marguerite Sabongui, who played Allega Zane in Galidor. But M-M’s story doesn’t end there. After Galidor, she dove headfirst into climate activism, and these days produces a bevy of projects, including Blind River Media and Lil D’Bunk.
And R. R. Slugger is back! Slugger is a genuine Galidor fan (one of the few) and has done really great videos on the theme.
Patreon supporters get a bonus segment where Slugger and I talk about Galidor’s history, legacy, and what he loves about it.
This episode also touches on climate change, so I wanted to link some resources M-M sent me to help with climate anxiety:
If you’re a Patreon supporter, you get a bonus build for this episode! It’s a celebration of Galidor and glinching. Supporters get a link to the digital build and a wishlist if you’d like to order it and build it for yourself!
It’s really goofy and that’s why I love it.
