George Lucas and the Revenge of the Prequels
5/4/20261 hr 35 min
Noooooooo!!! Actually ,yes., We're re-examining the Star Wars prequels with their racist portrayals, wooden dialogue, and still kinda badass lightsaber fights.

If you're caught in the middle and just want your friends to hug it out and stop fighting about Jar Jar then you'll agree with Mike. It's a fun time racing through this pod about pod racing. Some would certainly say more fun than the movies themselves.

Mike Lawrence· Host0:41
[laughs] [laughs] What was it, the, what, in the third one? "There's too many of them." The, the little kid, there's like a little British kid.
Jake Young· Host0:49

Mike Lawrence· Host0:50
[laughs] Before they all, the kids get killed, he's like, "We gotta do something, there's too many of them."
