After the Hype 308: Escapism
In our latest, we discuss the various ways in which we’ve engaged with media to escape the current political landscape. Some of us took to tabletop as our escape, while others found solace in the warm embrace of the Mighty Boosh. Satisfactory gets a mention, as does Doc Martin. Some good recommendations and discussions here you won’t want to miss.

Episode #303 – Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS
EPISODE III
REVENGE OF THE SITH
It is a time of great rejoicing as we’ve made it to the last and best episode of the prequel trilogy, and as such have ended our journey through all the Star Wars films. How does this one hold up compared to the others? Well, it looks great, and has one of the best lightsaber fights of the saga. Does it break our heart in other areas? Absolutely.

Episode #302 – Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS
EPISODE II
ATTACK OF THE CLONES
It’s a very confusing time for Padme, coming into her own and embracing the Autassassinophiliac within her. And Anakin is dealing with…stuff. But hey, Kamino is pretty cool, and that third act is quite riveting, and we get to see Yoda do lightsaber fighting. I mean, at the end of the day it’s not a TOTAL loss, right? Right?
Right?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS
EPISODE I
THE PHANTOM MENACE
It’s a time of great hope, for a new Star Wars approaches after years of nothing but the original trilogy. Fans flock to the theaters in droves to see the origins of Darth Vader…and they get a Trade Federation? Gungans? Committees? Senators? Chancellors? Cool pod race, though. And Ewan Mcgregor really knocks it out of the park as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Episode #300 – 300
WE DID IT! We reached our 300th episode! To celebrate this momentous occasion we decided to something completely on-the-nose and unsubtle and review Zack Snyder’s 300…which is also on-the-nose and unsubtle! And fun was had by all. Oh, and also Happy Thanksgiving!

Episode #299 – Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS
EPISODE VI
RETURN OF THE JEDI
It’s 1983, and fans eagerly line up to see the conclusion to the trilogy, with expectations soaring high. What they get causes some distress. Swashbuckling? Ewoks? Silly humor? Well, yeah. It’s the perfect distillation of everything we liked from the first two movies, and quite possibly the best way to end the trilogy. Of course, some additions have been made over the years that have made this chapter difficult to enjoy. Join us as we discuss Return of the Jedi!

Episode #298 – Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS
EPISODE V
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
It is a dark time for the rebellion…but a pretty friggin’ sweet time for us because we get to talk about The Empire Strikes Back, easily the best Star Wars film ever made. If the last movie captured our imaginations, this one captured our hearts. It cemented our fandom and gave us the best ship in the galaxy: Han and Leia. It also gave us Yoda, Lando Calrissian, Lobot, and perhaps the biggest surprise this side of the galaxy. There’s a reason why this one sits at the top of many SW fan lists. So join us, won’t you?
