Summary

Qui-Gon and Jar Jar pull themselves out of the mud.

Guests

The Bens: Acker and Blacker

Notes

Film

  • Jar Jar springs upright (like Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
  • First time (episode order) that gods are mentioned.

Podcast

  • Odd (old-fashioned?) film pacing in TPM.
    • Humanizing dialog cut out to make room for more effects shots.
  • Referenced: The Terminator, Prometheus, "By Mennen" Jingle, Love Actually, Jonathan Winters, [Wikipedia:Bob_Newhart|Bob Newhart (stammering)]], Tim Gunn, A Christmas Story.
  • Mentioned: What does Jar Jar smell/feel like?, From time to time.
  • English-speaking Chewbacca?
  • Unintelligible Jar Jar dialog.
  • The non-threat of the droid troop transport.
  • Jar Jar character design.
    • Compare/contrast with Ewoks.
  • Another shoutout to Matt Gourley.
  • Lucas' anti-faith bent.
  • Movies we'd like to see: Chewie and his tutor rom-com, Han and Chewie college roommates.
  • Ring theory: ROTJ Minute 12 is the Droid torture scene, which parallels Jar Jar's shrieking.
  • Cut scene: lightsaber maintenance.

Meta Minute

  • 37:05 podcast episode length.
  • Flash forward: Although not explicitly stated in the movie, Chewbacca did appear to have a bit of a thing going on with Doctor {{{2}}}.

Quotes

  • Ben Acker: The Voldemort of Hotels.
  • Alex: "All-Too-Human" MacGregor.
  • Ben Acker: We [the Gungans] gotta develop vests; it just makes sense.
