This week, we dedicate our episode to the legendary Drew Struzan, the iconic artist behind some of the most memorable movie posters of all time. Struzan, whose work defined the visual identity of films like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future, can no longer create due to his battle with Alzheimer’s. Jeff and Sean take a moment to celebrate his legacy, discuss the documentary Drew: The Man Behind the Poster, and make the case for why real, human-created art needs to be protected.
