  • What Shall We Talk About? | #79

    In this episode, Chewie and Pip catch up and talk about... stuff. Honestly neither of us really remember what we talked about. Wrestling, the missing SCREAM 6 episode, Extreme and more. Maybe. I guess.

  • Deep Dive... Revenge of the Sith | #71

    Chewie and Pip conclude their Star Wars prequel trilogy retrospective with Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

    This time around, both hosts find themselves appreciating Episode III more than they remembered - particularly after seeing the relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi expanded in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. In fact, the discussion ultimately identifies Revenge of the Sith as the strongest and most rewatchable movie of the prequel trilogy.

    The guys break down Anakin's fall to the dark side, Palpatine's manipulation, the Chosen One prophecy, Darth Plagueis, General Grievous, Mace Windu, Order 66, the Jedi Temple, Padmé's fate, Darth Vader's creation, and the climactic battle on Mustafar.

    They finish by looking back at the entire prequel trilogy, ranking the three films, and asking whether George Lucas ultimately succeeded in telling the story of Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader.

  • Deep Dive… Attack of the Clones | #70

    The Star Wars deep dive series rolls on as Chewie and Pip revisit Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.

    Released in 2002, the second chapter of George Lucas's prequel trilogy introduced audiences to an older Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku, Jango Fett, and the Clone Army while laying the foundation for the Clone Wars and the eventual rise of Darth Vader.

    More than two decades later, the film remains one of the most debated entries in the franchise. In this episode, the hosts discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the movie, the performances, the storytelling choices, the visual effects, and where Attack of the Clones fits within the larger Star Wars saga.

    Whether you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between, this is a conversation every Star Wars fan can appreciate.

    Recorded Thursday May 26th, 2022.
