    Episode 218: I Have the High Ground | Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    We conclude, at long last, our series on the Star Wars prequels with an in-depth look at Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. How do the Jedi sow the seeds of their own downfall?

    Meditation: Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie?

    Let it snow, listeners, because this is it - the definitive debate! We’re going to answer, once and for all, whether Die Hard (1988) is Christmas movie, with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY… kind of.
