That time the Monty Python crew and the Star Wars cast hung out in St Johns Wood, London in 1979. Liquor, laughter and smiles (some on-screen) ensued. @ericidle.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Started The Filmumentaries Podcast 5 years ago with zero plan, just curiosity.

It’s since taken me to Skywalker Ranch, Lucasfilm, a BFI panel, and Martha’s Vineyard (to film for my Joe Alves documentary).

Sometimes making your own luck is just showing up and saying “yes.”
