Mayhem: The 1970s You Never Knew, Episode 9

Did you know that Star Wars almost started a war in real life, over a sand crawler model? Would the film have been so wildly successful if someone else had been cast in the role of Han Solo, such as – let’s say – Christopher Walken?

Join us as we explore revolutionary cultural shifts in the late 70s, and how these phenomena have evolved in the last four decades.
