This month, your hosts Brandon Schaefer and Sam Smith look at the iconic poster work of Drew Struzan, the prolific painter behind the famous one-sheets for Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars, among many other hits of the 80’s and 90’s. The Poster Boys also respond to some listener feedback, and open the Flat File to look at how Struzan, Richard Amsel, and the Polish poster school interpreted Raiders of the Lost Ark.
