about
As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of the Joseph Mankiewicz EPCOT Center archives, they do a deep dive on November 1978 memo where Joe points out the potential pitfalls that this ambitious project faces
lyrics
Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:
What worried Joseph most about the way the Imagineers had originally envisioned the Guest experience when it came to the way Epcot’s Future World section was supposed to tell its overarching story
Which respected broadcasters did Mankiewicz suggest as possible hosts of Future World pavilions
Why did he consider having Ben Franklin, Mark Twain and Will Rogers as the hosts of “The American Adventure” to be very hackneyed
Which two significant events in human history did Joseph want to link together as one continuous dramatic moment
What was unique about the way Joseph Mankiewicz used the word “content” back in 1978
