    And this week on THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED STREAMING CLUB, Bibbs and Witney explore one of the best films of the 1980s, MY DINNER WITH ANDRE, starring Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory as two theater professionals who have dinner together. And somehow... it's absolutely breathtaking.

  • Star Wars: Episode Zero - Casablanca!

    Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

    This week on EPISODE ZERO they explore Michael Curtiz's Oscar-winning and seemingly timeless classic, CASABLANCA! Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman lead an all-star cast in a romantic adventure set during the rise of fascism, where a notorious cad begins to realize he needs to pick a side in the war. It's not just an influence on Han Solo, but also the production design, background characters and - in RISE OF SKYWALKER - one of the dumbest STAR WARS plot points ever!

  • Star Wars: Episode Zero - Distant Drums!

    Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

    This week on EPISODE ZERO they explore Raoul Walsh's quasi-western DISTANT DRUMS, the film that introduced the Wilhelm Scream! It's one of the most popular and recognizable sound effects in motion picture history, but the film that originated the Wilhelm Scream is disturbingly entrenched in deeply offensive colonialist fiction! And sadly, that's a literary tradition that films like STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES have, directly and indirectly, been inspired by.

  • Canceled Too Soon #189 | Space Force (1978)

    The late, great comedian Fred Willard co-stars in the new Netflix comedy series SPACE FORCE, but did you know he also starred in ANOTHER television series with the exact same name? It's called SPACE FORCE, it came out in 1978, and it's basically THE PHIL SILVERS SHOW (a.k.a. SGT. BILKO) in space!

    Is that a bad idea? Or was SPACE FORCE... Canceled Too Soon? Critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you rocketing through space - and history - to explore a failed TV pilot that riffs on STAR TREK and beyond!
