Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  September is Back to School month on Movie Mandates (even though most of the kiddos returned sometime last month) so I mandated my sister watch School of Rock, a charming comedy film for the entire family about a man who exploits children for his own personal gain!

Wait, that can't be right...

Chat Transcript:

6:57 PMaddictedtochaos​Hello

7:00 PMeathdemon​busy month games wise

7:00 PMSheekago​LOL I join and hear you grunt.

7:00 PMSheekago​Hhhuuunnh

7:00 PMeathdemon​buldars gate 3, and starfeild in 2 weeks

7:01 PMExile​Hello

7:01 PMaddictedtochaos​I’m beyond ready for autumn. Summer can go away, even though it hasn’t been that bad here.

7:03 PMVhyper​How many gates does Baulder have?

7:04 PMSheekago​Are those Kirby's ashes?

7:08 PMSheekago​The company's name is "Name goes here".

7:12 PMVhyper​But they DO now know that your number is a real person & can sell your number to another scam company

7:12 PMExile​ Reminds me of that Key and Peele sketch "The Telemarketer" where they want to annoy you.

7:13 PMaddictedtochaos​As a rule I never answer the phone for numbers I don’t have in my contact list.

7:17 PMSheekago​I don't answer unknown numbers, or even some family member numbers.

7:19 PMSheekago​Pierogi is one, IRLRosie is another.

7:19 PMSheekago​I used to watch several of them

7:20 PMSheekago​Blue hair is Pierogi

7:21 PMSheekago​I forgot about sunglasses guy or his name

7:22 PMSheekago​If you haven't seen Star Wars Rebels, Ahsoka might not be as intriguing.

7:25 PMSheekago​Ezra Bridger

7:26 PMaddictedtochaos​I stopped caring about Star Wars when they killed off my favorite character (EU) in Star by Star.

7:32 PMaddictedtochaos​Anakin Solo

7:34 PMaddictedtochaos​Twins Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son Anakin.

7:35 PMSheekago​Tenant is the droid, yes

7:36 PMaddictedtochaos​They were born in Heir to the Empire the first of Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn books.

7:38 PMSheekago​Captain Hera Syndulla, the green Twilek

7:39 PMSheekago​Her droid, chopper is quite a character. He's got a few screws loose.

7:41 PMSheekago​Darth Maul knew to hit the vital organs

7:42 PMSheekago​Oh, that's right she's a general in the show. I called her captain.

7:42 PMSheekago​Ahsoka is a Togruta

7:46 PMSheekago​To be fair, the map is to a planet that Luke has decided he's going to live. And Thrawn has been "exiled" to that planet. Don't know how or why. Maybe he got stranded by Ezra and Ezra made the map?

7:48 PMaddictedtochaos​Is Thrawn not a Grand Admiral?

7:52 PMSheekago​Someone has to go to the planet Thrawn is at, pay off his bar tab so he can finally get off planet.

7:57 PMaddictedtochaos​A judge ruled that Ai art can’t be copyrighted.

8:08 PMSheekago​Have a good night!

8:09 PMExile​Take caer!

8:09 PMExile​care!*
