This week, we're partying like it's 1999 with our feature-length commentary track for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace!
The 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace and the upcoming reunion panel at Star Wars Celebration had us feeling nostalgic, so we decided to strap in and break down the good, the bad and the ugly of this landmark film.
We discuss our earliest memories of The Phantom Menace; how public sentiment turned against the film (and eventually turned back); the influences that shaped the film; the influence of The Phantom Menace on today's blockbusters; the great Star Wars vs The Matrix debate of 1999; and much, much more!
