Cantina Chatter Podcast

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day! In 1996, ID4 took the world by storm. It was a perfect summer blockbuster that came out during a time when UFOs and aliens were all the rage in pop culture. It also had its own toy line, created by defunct toy company Trendmasters. Fellow 90s kid and toy lover Toy Shiz joins me as we discuss all things ID4 and break down its accompanying toy line.

Lately, it’s all about Jabba’s Sail Barge!
