On this interseason bonus episode of Thrawnderdome, Daniel and Ronnie expertly dissect the last movie to use the trademarked characters and situations of Star Wars with Lucasfilm's approval before the Disney acquisition: 2009's Fanboys.

A 1998 period piece filmed in 2007 and unceremoniously dumped on the public in February 2009, Fanboys was Ready Player One novelist Ernest Cline's first bite at the pop culture referencing apple. Your hosts discuss this misbegotten Judd Apatow ripoff attempt for longer than its actual runtime because holy shit is there some meat on this bone!

Self-congratulatory nerdism? We have it. An inexplicable romance between a Cool Comic Book Store Girl and the weediest of the gaggle of dorks? You betcha. Gay panic jokes? By the truckload!

It's everything you hate about Star Wars and 2007, and we're delivering the last word.
