COMMENTARY: Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope
Monday Sep 28, 2015
Monday Sep 28, 2015
Join Scott and special guest, Star Wars expert Paul as they travel a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Where merchandising was scant and the "clone wars" were nothing but a couple of throwaway lines. When one stormtrooper was tall enough to accidentally hit his head entering a room because he wasn't a genetic copy of Jango Fett. When "the Force" was just "the Force", and not something that could be cleared up with penicillin. That's right, they started at the true beginning and watched "Star Wars"! (Or "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope") Listen as they give you a ton of information you may have never heard before and details you may have missed. They'll tell you what's been changed, who's who, and why this space epic is truly one of the greatest film of all time. (Oh, and Paul will tell you why R5-D4 might me the most important character in the trilogy...allegedly.)
It's a regular episode, but as an added bonus, it also syncs up as a commentary for the movie! So, if you can, queue up your copy of the movie and watch along with us!

Monday Aug 31, 2015
Monday Aug 31, 2015
Join Scott and special guest, Star Wars expert Paul, as they review the first two seasons of what just might be the best thing to come out of the Star Wars prequels: The 2003 Clone Wars cartoon series! Listen as they discuss the history of the Clone Wars, from a throwaway line delivered by Mark Hamill in 1977's Star Wars to George Lucas' 2002 CGI monstrosity Attack of the Clones to Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 animated masterpiece and beyond. Sure, they'll gripe about the prequels, but they'll also tell you what makes this animated "microseries" so special, and why it deserves your notice. The listener is the heart of the podcast!

Join Lily, Scott, and resident Star Wars expert Paul as they break down and discuss what's been described as "the worst two hours of television ever.", the broadcast event so bad, its creators tried to prevent it from ever being see again: The Star Wars Holiday Special! Why was there only Wookie dialogue for many segments? What's with Mark Hamill's makeup? It Itchy's virtual reality helmet what we think it is? Why is Chewbacca such a terrible father? What's happening at the end? Bea Arthur? All of these questions are answered and many, many more. Also, Shawn calls in from his sick bed to share his thoughts as well. This was quite the experience. Join us, friend. Happy Life Day!
