GLTS is BACK!
After the longest hiatus in its decade+ history, The George Lucas Talk Show is BACK with 5 shows in the final 3 months of 2025!
First up is a return to The Bell House on 10/10, followed by another NYCC panel on 10/11.
Then, on 11/23, GLTS makes its Chicago debut at The Den! Tickets for this one are moving fast, so act quickly!
We will also be returning to UCBNY in December for back-to-back Holiday Specials on 12/18, but those are not yet on sale!
THE BLU-RAY & ITS PROMOTIONAL LIVESTREAM
After last year's festival run, theatrical screenings & VOD release, the GLTS doc, I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story, is making its physical media debut with a record-shattering number of audio commentaries & special features.
Producer Patrick Cotnoir has been devoting a tremendous amount of time and effort into making this a very special edition, with so much exclusive bonus material that not all of it can even fit on 2 discs!
Kino Lorber is the label, and it delights me that they are also releasing a Special Edition blu-ray of Radioland Murders, the Lucasfilm comedy whose poster has been on display at every GLTS show since the very first one in 2014. They are also the label of Spaceballs in 4K, making them THE home of George Lucas-related comedy, as far as I’m concerned.
I will be doing a livestream with Patrick on Friday (9/5) to promote the blu-ray release and our slate of upcoming shows.
CRpTAC in NY (& CHICAGO)
The next 4 installments of CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS at UCBNY will close out the year in (hopefully) spectacular fashion.
One “regular" show (9/24) followed by 3 specials: “The Horror, The Horror" in October, a 2nd “How To Get Cast on SNL" workshop in November, and another “Secular Santa Workshop" to close out the year.
Not yet ready to announce specifics yet, but it is HIGHLY LIKELY that there will be a CRpTAC show in Chicago on November 22nd, the night before we do GLTS. Mark your calendars!
STITCH #1 NOW IN STORES!
James III & I have written an 8-issue comic book series, featuring the biggest movie star of 2025, Disney's Stitch!
From Dynamite Entertainment, this is Stitch's first solo series (though Lilo does make a few appearances, don't worry!) and it is weird and wild and madcap.
Each issue has tons of different variant covers with art by various brilliant illustrators -- pick your favorite OR collect them all!
These issues will later be compiled into small trade paperbacks, and they are appropriate for all ages but our goal was to make something that adults would enjoy as much as kids do.
I grew up obsessed with the Disney comics of Carl Barks and Floyd Gottfredson (along with so many others: Don Rosa, William Van Horn, Daan Jippes, Fred Milton, etc etc) so getting the chance to play in the Disney comics sandbox with a few of its weirdest and wildest characters had been a dream come true.
Ok, that’s all for now!
Byeeeeeeeeeeee
connor!
