Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

STAR WARS SUMMER continues as Ryan and David are joined by friend and guest cohost Zack… making his first non-ThunderCats appearance on the show to revisit what was once HIS favorite film of the prequel trilogy… “STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES!” (From 2002)

Yes this movie somehow feels like a detective story, soap opera, romance movie, and giant video game all at the same time. And was Obi-Wan secretly the real star of the entire prequel trilogy? From an explosion powerful enough to blow Padmé’s decoy’s shoes completely off, to floating space pears, awkward romance, Jar Jar Binks somehow getting promoted to politics, and the MANY red flags Anakin Skywalker was giving off long before becoming Darth Vader… this episode is extra long for our Star Wars fans!

Grab your lightsaber, avoid the death sticks, and join us as our journey through every STAR WARS movie and beyond continues all summer long!

“Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones takes place a decade after The Phantom Menace, with the galaxy on the brink of civil war. Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi investigates an assassination attempt while his apprentice Anakin Skywalker protects Senator Padmé Amidala, sparking a deepening connection. With rich visuals, expansive world-building, and pivotal moments in the saga, it offers thrilling action but is sometimes critiqued for stiff dialogue and uneven pacing.”

Stars: Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor and Christopher Lee.

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

This week on Radical Retro Rewind?!, Ryan and David officially kick off Star Wars Summer with one of the most anticipated movies of all time…“Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” from 1999!

After 16 years without a new live-action Star Wars film, the hype surrounding Episode I was absolutely unreal. From Pepsi cups and Taco Bell promotions to packed toy aisles, VHS previews, posters everywhere, green fruit snacks, and even Jar Jar tongue lollipops, this movie became a full-blown cultural event before it even hit theaters.

From podracing and Darth Maul’s double lightsaber to Duel of the Fates, Queen Amidala’s insane costumes, and early CGI spectacle, the Radical Retro Brothers revisit the movie that changed blockbuster filmmaking forever. And yes… we absolutely discuss whether the podrace still holds up, that R2-D2 has always been sassy, and the bizarre behind-the-scenes fact that Michael Jackson reportedly wanted to physically play Jar Jar Binks in full costume rather than through CGI.

“In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to settle a growing conflict involving the Trade Federation and the peaceful planet of Naboo. Along the way they encounter a clumsy outcast named Jar Jar Binks, a young queen hiding in plain sight, and a gifted slave boy named Anakin Skywalker whose connection to the Force may change the fate of the galaxy forever. As political tensions rise and a mysterious Sith warrior named Darth Maul emerges from the shadows, the stage is set for a new generation of Star Wars adventures.”

Stars: Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd, Ahmed Best & Ray Park.
