Join Chris, Mark and Randy as they analyze & review (with FULL SPOILERS) Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, the 1999 sci-fi/fantasy movie directed by George Lucas.

Some consider this series to be the zenith of pop culture and geekdom. We've got 3 very different perspectives on George Lucas' first prequel to the classic original trilogy.

We dive deep into Lucas' long-awaited and full vision - finally getting the action and effects that the originals were unable to deliver.

We debate over the new mythos the franchise creator has added; most importantly Anakin Skywalker's origin story.

Does that Duel of the Fates-filled climax satisfy like it (mostly) did for us when it first came out?

And who is the real phantom menace?...

Join us as we break down each film in the series - leading up to Rogue One!
