Molly Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 You forgot the reason "The Creep" is significant, it's the only time Nicki Minaj has been hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 That said, no offense to Mike, but Dan is on fucking fire here. "Fuck that noise! I have duties to the a Jedi... But... Istillwannabeinsideyou." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 She's pretty slutty in "Super Bass," so there's that.And yes, Dan was great in this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob the kid Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 This movie is the very first movie to break me. As a child I hated this movie, never before this had I dislike generally a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Will most definitely take a listen tomorrow. On a side note: This is episode 616. Can't believe you didn't take advantage of that numbering for some kinda Marvel episode or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I thought about it, but I simply didn't have the extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobob_100 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So at the end of the "Revenge of the Sith" show are the two of you announcing the start of a new podcast covering the clone wars tv series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Nothing against that show, but no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hayden Christenson or however you spell his last name is only good in Shattered Glass. That's it. He is as awful here as everywhere else. That movie had to be a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 You glossed over the probably only subtle thing in the prequels. When Obi Wan goes to the library to look for the planet he's told by the librarian that if it is not in the Jedi Archive it can't possibly exist showing actual subtle story telling in showing how arrogant these Jedi really are.

Stavros Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Two things If they ever make a Boba Fett solo film they should call it Son of Jango and have him hunt an ageing one-handed Sam Jackson down wherever he's hiding and kill him, in true western revenge movie fashion. Secondly, I'd love to see you guys do a For Better or Worse style reimagining, pitch and cast for the prequel trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hayden Christenson or however you spell his last name is only good in Shattered Glass. That's it. He is as awful here as everywhere else. That movie had to be a fluke. He was on Life as a House which he actually generated a fair bit of Oscar buzz for and was even nominated for both a SAG award and a Golden Globe. He was also at least somewhat enjoyable in Jumper. No, this is just some incredibly wooden dialogue. I actually love the Head Canon that Rifftrax established for Anakin/Vader in that he has declared a personal war against sand and that it's his mortal enemy. Also, honestly, he's a bit better in Episode 3. Great episode guys. I've always been in the camp that says Episode 2 is the worst in the series. The name alone doesn't even feel like Star Wars. The dialogue is just terrible and you can tell that Ewan Mcgregor and Natalie Portman do not want to be there. I have gotten into the habit of referring to episode 2 as "That short film when Yoda fights Christopher Lee" just because outside of the Jango scenes, nothing else is really interesting in this film. I was obsessed with Star Wars going from high school into middle school. This is kinda what broke me of it. I almost want to see you guys tackle The Clone Wars movie just because it has this: Ziro, Jabba's nearly offensively gay stereotype brother.

Gareth Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'd love to hear you guys chat about the Star Trek films. Maybe I'm just making this up but weren't there lose plans for a Star Trek podcast at some point? Either way, I'd love to hear you two talk about those films.

Missy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 There are semi-solid plans for a Star Trek show, but it's a "down-the-line" kind of thing. Total, there are 725 episodes of Star Trek, plus 12 movies, so it's something that's going to require a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just the movies are enough to keep you in major earth 2 episodes for three or so years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Exactly. It's a massive multi-year project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 On the upside a completist approach would be a draw for the site. Then again I'm sure there quite a few podcasts on the subject already. It's an undertaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badhead Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 As far as padme still geting maried to Anakin after she finds out he killed all the sandmen. mabye she is like those women who send love letters to serial killers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 But if that's the case, then she shouldn't be flipping her shit when Anakin genocides the kids next installment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think she's more like that girl in abba who dated her own stalker despite the fact he was literally keeping her shit in buckets in his basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Oh snap, did I just get called out by Mike?!? Well, I can't let THIS insult go unanswered!!! Firstly, I am British, my given name is Ian and my surname ends in "-on", making me more Ian Chesterton than any of you!! I may not have thrown anyone off a pyramid yet, but there's still time! Secondly, I don't have to take this kind of abuse from Janice from Friends over there!! I re-listened to this episode wearing my clip monkey tally hat and noted down every utterance of the popular American phrase "Oh my God!" The findings were as follows: Dan: 7 & 1/2 (the half being "oh my fuck", which is close enough) Mike: 20. Sniping aside, I agree with the popular sentiment that Old Man Toland was on fire in this review! "That's ridiculous - no-one would make a movie based on that!"

Stovepipe Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Attack of the Clones is, along with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the only movie I remember next to nothing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 My trip to and from Newark the other day was a blast because I listened to Tranquil Tirades' Last Airbender review then this on the way back. Had I never seen this film before and the few good things it has to offer, I would wonder if it was even worse than Last Airbender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
