What a great episode! Directed by Rick Famuyiwa, both intense action and adventure filled. Had major solo train heist vibes all over. Bill Burr's Mayfeld has fantastic character moments in this one.

I can't believe the day has come to chat about a live action Ahsoka Tano, watching all the animated shows has really started to pay off! We'll catch you guys up on her story a bit and chat about where she was and what's happened since, but my only recommendation is to watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels to really get the full picture and story. Us sharing this info is not the sam...

The FINAL installment in the "Skywalker Saga"... Or so Disney marketed it to be. Not only 15 years ago we remember fondly when Revenge of the Sith was marketed simply "The saga is complete". As a fan, in my personal opinion it's been trying times to see this sequel trilogy unfold. Walking out of this film I thought "whelp, what's done is done". I never once thought I'd be saying that about any sta...

The first movie that kicked off the sequel trilogy was an extremely hyped film. Despite stellar reviews, some star wars fans (such as myself) knew it might be the beginning of a very different sort of trilogy than what we had seen before. Personally this trilogy is not my favorite in any way shape or form but it's still star wars, so we took our fair criticism to the commentary track and decided n...

The final film the original trilogy set a new bar for the pacing of films - modern films... lightsaber duels + starship battles + ground battle = "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi". This is my personal favorite of the original trilogy and remains to be the iconic film in which audiences around the world saw the redemption of Anakin Skywalker for the first time in 1983. Join Josh, Blake, an...
