Summary
DJ attempts to master breaking the code but nothing will crack our guest commentators Daniel Quantz & Alison Rosen!
Guests
Alison Rosen and Daniel Quantz
Notes
Film
- Starts with Finn letting everybody know that the tracker is right behind that door, ends with Poe telling C-3PO to go with that.
- Continuity error: DJ's hat is facing forward in one shot and backward in the next.
Podcast
- R2-D2 was the heart and soul of the first three movies, but he's barely in the Sequel Trilogy.
- Mentioned: Scrappy Scrappy-Do, Cousin Oliver.
- Our important Underoos memories.
- Rose's medallion is perfectly spaced to short-circuit the thing. Unless it's all for show (since DJ's already turned).
- Roses exist in Star Wars (but, see below).
- When DJ returns the medallion, it's the movie's way of lulling us into a false sense of security and thinking he actually turns out to be a good guy before it undermines our expectations.
- For Alison, Benicio del Toro does not fit in this role in this movie.
- The story of how originally the Master Codebreaker was supposed to be an elaborate alien puppet animatronic creation but then Justin Theroux was available at the last minute.
- John Williams shows remarkable restraint when DJ gives him the shout out (the "best conductor").
- The Disney Plus extra on John Williams.
- Daniel is mixed on Rey's theme ( Luke's theme (. Shout-out to Chrysanthe Tan and the Star Wars Music Minute.
- Why does DJ give back Rose's medallion, diegetically?
Meta Minute
- 29:10 podcast episode length
- The Wookieepedia article about roses is in Legends, and there is no Canon tab, so no word if they are still a thing.
Quotes
- Pete: The older I get, the more identify with C-3PO.
- Alison: You're like the Holden Caulfield of semi-nerds.
