Mark Hamill

This week on The Nerdpocalyspe we discuss the big news from the film and television industry. After over a decade in development, 24 Jump Street is finally happening — Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are all in talks to return at Sony Pictures. Rodney Rothman, who co-wrote 22 Jump Street and directed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is directing from a script he co-wrote with Hill and Meghan Malloy. The tagline says it all: "It took so long we had to skip one." Phil Lord and Chris Miller return as producers. Mark Hamill joins Twisted Metal Season 3 as Pope Charlie Ka...

In this episode, Joe Ayoub and Raza Shaikh welcome Mark Hamill, CEO of The Naked Headhunter and co-founder of the Virtual Advisory Board (VAB). Mark shares the origin story of VAB from its start during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it scaled into a global network of over 1,300 members spanning 4,000 boards. The conversation dives into the power of peer-to-peer networks, the mechanics of building effective boards, and the tangible ROI that strong boards can deliver. They also unpack the realities of board recruitment, what it takes to land a first board seat, and why clarity of expertise and network strength are more important than ever. Mark offers a grounded perspective on the future of board service, emphasizing experience, diversity of thought, and the growing demand for board members who have "walked the walk." Key takeaways Boards deliver outsized ROI when done right Board investment is relatively small compared to impact Experienced board members accelerate growth, decision making and access A small, structured board can shift a company's trajectory by turning big picture ambitions into executable strategy Your first board seat is almost always the hardest to secure Most board roles come through networks, not formal channels Once you secure your first board seat, credibility compounds quickly and future opportunities will tend to follow Mark highlights the importance of understanding yourself and your unique leadership experiences before connecting with networks Community and peer learning drive board success The Virtual Advisory Board thrives on member led engagement and shared experiences The group creates a trustworthy environment for honest conversions where leaders can discuss difficult and high pressure decisions Members bring live challenges and get immediate input from peers who've faced similar situations Board composition is about complementary experience Strong boards blend industry expertise, scaling experience, and global perspective Diversity of experience leads to better outcomes The most effective boards are intentionally built around the company's specific stage and challenges, rather than prestige or status Quotes: "The strength of your network really becomes 80% of the reason how your next role will be sourced." "We're (VAB) not going to tell you what to do, but we can certainly share experiences of how other people have dealt with it." " Where you are in your board journey, there'll be different tracks internally that you can kind of take depending on where you are in your voyage." Links <a href="https://

Something a little different this week that we think you’ll enjoy. From our friends at the Apostrophe Podcast Network: Terry O’Reilly’s “The Beatlology Interviews”. You may not know that Stuart McLean was a huge Beatles fan (though really, aren’t we all?) And he collected Beatles memorabilia. Another huge fan and collector is Terry O'Reilly. In this episode of “The Beatlology Interviews” Terry talks to actor Mark Hamill about all things Beatles... and more. Mark Hamill not only owns collectibles, he is a collectible. Mark talks about his first blush with the Beatles, how he began collecting Beatles memorabilia, that time he met George Harrison on a plane, and whether or not he let his kids play with Star Wars Toys. It's a fascinating interview. We hope you enjoy it. Ad-free listening is here!

Twenty-six years before it existed, Trash Compactor got its greatest "get." And, friends, blow it we did not. We're confident you'll agree once you finally hear, straight from the source, the answer to the burning question that's been on everyone's lips—is Mark Hamill good at the 1996 PC game Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom? But let's back up for a minute. In the mid-'90s, a 12-year-old JOSH and his similarly prepubescent pal SAM snagged a shockingly lengthy phone interview with Mr. Mark Hamill. (The rest of us at TC assume this may have been the result of a questionable deal Josh or Sam brokered with then-up-and-coming horror trickster Wishmaster . They both remain tight-lipped about it). But what came of this? We'll tell you: a cassette recording of a no-holds-barred encounter between two sixth-graders and a movie legend. And by "no holds barred," we mean a gracious Hamill gives thoughtful answers to literally every question, shakes off a few unintentional low blows only a kid could inflict, makes a timely Sinead O'Connor reference, politely ignores a lot of excited whispering between the interviewers, and clearly considers it his duty to talk to a pair of preteens for a solid 20 minutes. Breaking news: Mark Hamill is a very nice man. Join us as Josh and Sam react to this unearthed interview for the first time ever. With a little help from their friends/emotional support animals TIM and FREY, they bravely take on the grueling but highly entertaining task of listening to their 12-year-old selves shoot the shit with Luke Skywalker IRL. (Psst—just kidding about the Wishmaster thing. Didn't mean to scare you. We won't spoil the real story here in the notes, but it involves Z-100, Virgin Megastore, and collect calls. The 90s, baby! Check out some photos from the event that set it all in motion ). NEXT WEEK: Revisionist History with the Special Editions!

Season 1 of the Canon Cantina was focused on exploring the journey of Luke Skywalker through both Canon and Legends materials. We sought to explore the question "who IS Luke Skywalker?" by comparing the two different storylines in the time leading up to Episode IX. Now that the Skywalker Saga is complete, we have expanded the scope of the show beyond Luke Skywalker. Everything after our Force Awakens-style soft reboot can be found in Season 2. Cheers, and may the Force be with you! ___________________________________ Mark Hamill was recently in the internet headlines again, with more quotes regarding the Sequel Trilogy from an interview with Den of Geek. We address some specific things he said (comments about Original Trilogy characters and things he would have done differently in particular), and analyze decisions that have been made in the Disney era from 3 different angles - Narrative, The World Today, and Big Business. You may not agree with our conclusions (we didn't always agree with each other!) but we welcome discussion about this on our social media. Look for links to those below and let us know what you think about Mark Hamill and the Sequel Trilogy so far! ____________________________ Join Star Wars fanatics, Mike and Jesse each episode as we breakdown the character & development of Luke Skywalker throughout both Legends and the Disney canon. We’ll do our best to connect the dots of Luke’s adventures through Legends/the old Expanded Universe to find out how he differs from the current canon hero, and debate which version would make The Last Jedi better.
