A More Civilized Podcast

On one seemingly inconsequential day, our gentleman host Kyler casually mentioned that of course the worst of the three Star Wars prequels was Episode 1, The Phantom Menace. To his astonishment, our gentleman host Ross disagreed, insisting that in truth it is Episode 2, Attack of the Clones, which is the worse of the three movies. As fate would have it, our third gentleman host Chris sat squarely on the fence between each of their positions. Join us as Ross and Kyler each try to convince Chris as to which is truly the worst Star Wars prequel.
