The Credible Nerds

Listen as The Credible Nerds revisit The Empire Strikes Back on it's 40th anniversary! We went and saw the movie in theaters as it was re-released for the anniversary. Justin and Nathan break down the movie and discuss why is it soooo good?

We discuss how much depth the film has, the expansion of characters, worlds, and ships. We discuss 'Who is the other?' and why, if it's Leia, doesn't Yoda and Obi-Wan want Luke to go rescue her? We discuss the toys of The Empire Strikes Back and how integral they were in the success of the movie.

Listen to The Credible Nerds discuss Episode 8 of Reasons Why The Phantom Menace Doesn't Suck! This new series will address reasons why The Credible Nerds believe that The Phantom Menace is great Star Wars. Each episode will address one topic and how the topic is important and improves the Star Wars Skywalker Saga. This first series is about The Phantom Menace, then we will work our way through the rest of the films and end with Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

This eighth episode deals with one of the best Sith Lords - Darth Maul and how we are introduced to him in The Phantom Menace. Join Justin and guest host, Harry, as we geek out over Darth Maul. No matter who you are, you like Darth Maul! The Phantom Menace gave us Darth Maul, and then took him away. We talk about Darth Maul's presence in the film and how he survived post Phantom Menace.
