What is the soul of art? What is the crucial human factor, that ineffable touch which nonetheless can shape even the hardest stone?

Sheer dedication.

On this giant sized special bonus episode, Daniel and Ronnie take a look at a fascinating artifact of Timothy Zahn's towering influence: a nearly four hour movie version of Heir to the Empire produced over several years shot entirely in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker.

Janky Mara Jade awakens something in Daniel, we finally get a look at what three different types of architecture (two alien, one human) looks like, Ronnie hunts for any evidence of jiggle physics, and we bring back the Badreads segment in spirit by reading the comments.

Apologies for sitting on this one so long, season six is well and truly coming soon next week!

Watch the movie!

By gar it's been a while! Grab a box of Mike and Ikes to rattle while we're trying to pay attention and join the Movie Guys in the Chris Pietersen Memorial Filmnasium as we review Solo: A Star Wars Story.

We were not happy with it, but neither were the studio executives, audiences, or even the actors. But that won't stop us from getting granular about gripes!
