Summary

Part IV of the closing credits

Guests

Chris Radtke

Notes

Film

• The penultimate minute.
• Credits, credits, credits: starts with the credit for Roy Arbogast (Sy Snootles' husband), and ends with all the guys who played ewoks.

Podcast

• Radtke is back! He's a precedent-buster.
• The alleged impropriety between Lucas and Annie Arbogast (Sy Snootles).

Ewok Credits

• Two Peters (both Ewoks).
  • Peter Mandell
  • Peter Burroughs, the Swingin' Ewok.
    • Little person stuntman and Warwick Davis' father-in-law.
      • We have warm feelings for Warwick.
• Felix Silla: Twiki the robot (Buck Rogers) and Cousin Itt (The Addams Family).

Other credits

• David Fincher, asst. cameraman in the effects dept. (before he was the David Fincher).
  • Favorite David Fincher films.
• Covering the Peters.
  • Peter Romano: the go-to guy for underwater photography.
    • Lives in a submarine or underwater lair (Editor's note - this is probably untrue, but we can't confirm).
  • Peter Amundsen, effects editor.
• Having actors doing all the sound and special effects.
• Joe Johnston, who also directed many well-known movies.

Meta Minute

• 27:42 podcast episode length.
• Alex mispronounces Roy Arbogast as "Rob Arbocast".
• Brian Bonsall is a former child actor best known to nerds as Worf's son that he almost never mentions (from Star Trek).
• The Lucas-Arbogast connection was first mentioned during the Lapti Nek minute.
• Actress Saffron Burrows was in Deep Blue Sea.
• According to Wikipedia, Warwick Davis met the Burroughs family during the filming of Willow and three years later married Samantha Burroughs.
• Not talking about The Phantom Menace was a running joke behind the scenes on the podcast.
• Although Pete Romano did underwater photography for a bazillion movies, this is his only Star Wars credit.

Quotes

• Alex: (re: the first rule of Fight Club) Don't talk about that! Pete: Aww. Wait, about which? Alex: Either one. Chris: The Phantom Menace. Seriously guys, you're making a terrible mistake.
• Pete: Ronzani and Romano, Peters at law.
• Alex (as George Lucas) and then Pete: (repeating) Sio Bibble, you're the bongo.
• Pete: *flibbing his lips* ^I'M ^PE^TE^R R^OM^AN^O!
