Blind Spots & Second Thoughts

Blind Spots & Second Thoughts

We're Dan & Heather, a couple of movie lovers (and a couple, too). But strangely, there isn’t a lot of overlap in what each of us has seen. Heather is crazy for musicals and horror; Dan loves sci-fi and action. Between the two of us, there’s a surprising amount of blind spots. In this podcast, we pick a movie one of us hasn’t ever seen before. We talk about what we know – or what we think we know – about the movie. Then after watching it, we do a deep dive into the film, discussing what makes the movie work (or not), how the movie has aged since it came out, and also get into the behind-the-scenes of the movie’s production. One part comedy podcast, one part in-depth movie review, we tackle enormous hits you won’t believe one of us hasn’t seen and obscure favorites just out of the mainstream. If you’re ready for a distinctly unique perspective on movies you love, movies you hate, and movies you’ve always been curious about, give us a listen! https://blindspotsandsecondthoughts.com

    Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

    Heather hasn’t seen Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Yub Nub! Heather finishes her journey into a galaxy far, far away, wrapping up the Original Trilogy by watching Star Wars Episode VI, Return of the Jedi for the first time. What will she think about it? In this episode, we’ll talk about the differences between the 1983 theatrical cut and the newer Special Editions. We also go deep into behind-the-scenes production problems, Ewoks, gold bikinis and more, so prepare your assault team, make sure your codes check out, and jump to hyperspace along with us!
