episode Babylon 5 - The Wheel of Fire with Pete Johnston cover

Description

In This Episode… “Touched by A Vorlon” a very after school special of Babylon 5, my kingdom for goo eyes, proper deployment of a “Scarlet Witch” scene, can you tarnish a legacy, in my world we land planes, bring it on connections, and Mike wedges Hickman into the discussion. This week's guest Pete Johnston is a director and film professor at MSU. You can read all about him and his film projects at the cleverly named . https://pizzageni.us/jeopardy/ and can be seen there whenever the Jeopardy gods decide to put that one on streaming. Pete recommends the movie "https://www.joybubblesthemovie.com/" set in the world of the phone phreaks. Dre recommends "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_It_On_(film)". Yeah, the cheer-dance movie. In a fitting twist of fate, Babylon 5 is no longer available for free or with a subscription on any service. We suggest looking for the DVDs at your library. Or if you live near Dre or Mike, we'll likely loan you our copies. For the next full episode, we cover the Babylon 5 final episode "Sleeping In Light" with Jeff May and Adam Tod Brown. Coming to you Sunday, June 28th. This episode is about women’s health care. Rats off to Ya!
