  • Our watch-with-us commentary on Star Wars - Episode One: The Phantom Menace, a film perhaps more dedicated to both race science and pedophilia than any of the many, many films dedicated to those topics we've reviewed in the past.
    This episode is recorded as a commentary track. Sync up with the film as we countdown on the ep and watch along with us.

    I work at a theater, and recently we released episode 1 back into theaters for its 25th anniversary.
    It was so, so fucking dead literally all of our hours got cut.

      I'd have gone to it. But I've also been deprived of the cinema experience since the only one within 50 miles got torn down.

    *walks up to Genius Bar* “hey, I think my Felix might be broken. It just keeps saying the same thing about the Covenant being able to beat up Obi wan or whatever. I think it’s some kinda bug”

    the prequels actually ended my childhood - i pinpoint it as the time when i moved from an optimistic child to a jaded young adult

      The first Pokemon movie did that to me. I cringed so hard watching it next to my grumpy dad that I immediately fell out of love with the series upon exiting the theater

      The prequels actually began my childhood film memories. The sequels is where I pinpoint the day my optimistic self into the cynical adult I remain.

    Lmao the constant raving about how the Covenant would wipe out the entire star wars galaxy
    Edit: if Miranda Keyes brought the In Amber Clad against the droid command ship she’d put two MAC rounds in it and nuke it from tens of thousands of kilometres away

    Boss Nas was designed to be a Gungan with predatory features as a subtle jab at the predatory and exploitative nature of capitalism in the 3rd world. Lucas may be a sterile weirdo but his politics are pretty immaculate

    Also I was shocked to discover people 5-9 years younger than me like the prequels.
