Supeeflously long for the sake of ad money

298: ‘I’m Expecting Led Zeppelin IV’, With Special Guest MG Siegler

Guy English

A brief chat about the Star Wars movies, with special guests John Siracusa and Guy English. Update, Monday 5 January 2015: Updated with a new Special Edition edit, including a new introduction, a new editing gag around the 2:20:00 mark, new poster art, and some subtle re-syncing of the audio tracks. No extra Banthas were added, and Siracusa still shoots first. Sponsored by:  Casper: Premium mattresses at great prices. Fracture: Your photos, printed directly on glass. Use coupon “gruber” to save 20 percent. Backblaze: Unlimited, unthrottled, online back up for Mac.  Links:  Michael Heilemann’s Kitbashed (highly recommended). “Plinkett” reviews The Phantom Menace (sort of kind of not really recommended). Original poster for Star Wars. Leigh Brackett’s script for The Empire Strikes Back. “Star Wars” Episodes of The Incomparable. Yes, that was young Greedo in The Phantom Menace. The complete Star Wars: Clone Wars cel-animated series from 2003 — pretty fun, worth watching.
