In this episode John and I discuss the movie that launched it all; the toys, the games, the sequels, the prequels! Some call it Star Wars, others call it Episode IV: A New Hope. Regardless of which title you refer it as, the one thing we can all agree on is that this film ranks among some of the all-time greats.


John and I dig deep into the nerdosphere for this one.


Disclaimer: I apologize for going into like five or six epic soapbox rants - but hopefully I said something useful.
