The walls of the legendary 32TEN Studios may no longer echo with the magic of moviemaking, but within those walls there were countless stories from the making of iconic films like Poltergeist, Indiana Jones and Return of the Jedi and Adam Savage was there before the buidling closed for the fial time to scoop up some of these incredible stories.

What does a magic trick have to do with the house implosion in Poltergeist? On which movie did CA glue (aka “superglue”) replace five-minute epoxy in modelmaking? What was George Lucas’ main directive to his team at ILM? On the historic 32TEN (formerly ILM) sound stage, special effects artists Lorne Peterson and Sean House tell Adam Savage some surprising stories behind many of our favorite films, including Poltergeist, Temple of Doom and Return of the Jedi.
