Episode 186 - The Phantom Hype (featuring MARFALUMP!)

For a couple of months in 1999, the whole world became a Star Wars
Celebration as Episode 1 HYPE was everywhere! From grocery stores
to Taco Bell, you couldn't go anywhere without being reminded that
a new Star Wars movie was about to come out. Blast Points Phantom
Menace Year continues as we look at all of that crazy hype that
surrounded all of the TPM experience! The overwhelming marketing
tie ins! Those weird & wonderful commercials! The vital history
of Star Wars & merchandising! Did it all go too far there in
1999 or not far enough?! And of course we finally shed some light
on the one and only MARFALUMP!!‬ So go go grease lightning and
