Star Wars Vs. The Empire Strikes Back
Devin & Amy clash lightsabers in the first ever versus episode where they will decide which Star Wars movie belongs in the canon. The prequels don't even deserve to be in the running. Instead they will only focus on the original trilogy. Is Han & Leia's banter romantic or annoying? Is C-3PO more lovable by being a dick? Can Empire's bleakness balance out its lack of plot? Tune in for the death match -- and head to the forums on Wolfpop to cast the deciding vote!
Customer Reviews
Goog discussion, sometimes condescending
Usually a good discussion over what movies belong "canon" but can sometimes come across as rude towards eachother. Half the time I believe they are against eachother in a playful way but there are times Devin comes off as really condescending and rude.
Great Podcast Format, Amy is Awesome
I really like this podcast, despite the fact that it is on hiatus and unlikely to comeback as a result of Devin's past actions. However, the two hosts have really good thoughts on the movies and despite their differences have an excellent back and forth. Still worth listening to as none of the episodes are particularly dated, although their is some irony in listening to some of their discussions now about celebrities who are secretly terrible given what came out about Devin.
The male host is terrible.
I thought I'd try this podcast out because I love movies. I found out if you "love" movies, this isn't for you. The male host just bashes them like an obnoxious child. He seems to tolerate them more than anything. The female host is nice, though. I'd give this show a shot again if they got rid of the guy. He's god-awful.
