[PREVIEW] 🎙🧚♀️ #056 - The Phantom Menace
from Commentary Fairy
1999 was a great year for movies. It was also the year of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Anticipation couldn't have been more feverish. Expectations couldn't have been higher. George Lucas couldn't have been richer. But like Jar Jar Binks stepping barefoot in a soft turd and exclaiming "ooh! Icky goo!", all hopes vanished like an eopie fart in a Tatooine sandstorm. Discussed in this episode: Redeeming musical and technical qualities! Jedis and Tatooine hermits shopping at the same store Problematic accents that can't be racial stereotypes because the characters aren't from Earth ... right...? The life-altering effects of appearing in this film, negatively speaking Natalie Knightley and Keira Portman, and the difficulty distinguishing between the two if you happen to be 200 metres away and blindfolded Free range slaves Midichlorians. The sure-fire cure for mystery and magic. The most annoying thing about Jar Jar according to Rita: the skirt Shmi-Gon. For the adults. Harvard University throwing out honorary awards to rub shoulders with pop stars Anakin's Interstellar-style black-hole-proximity growth spurt Queen Androidala and her digitally-lowered voice Low-resistance force fields Where my Gungan ladies at? Seahorse sex Manipulative directors and their secret rooms and wooden boxes, similar to vampires Joe becoming THX certifiable (if you want to sync it up to the film, we hit PLAY @ 05:10)
