Summary

Guests

Asterios Kokkinos

Notes

Film

  • First of two whole weeks (ten full minutes) of podracing
  • Sebulba sabotages Anakin then literally twirls his mustache (à la Snidely Whiplash).
  • Graxol Kelvyyn is the tallest practical costume (11 ft tall) in the film.
  • Death of Mawhonic.

Podcast

Meta Minute

  • 36:37 podcast episode length.
  • "Kelvyyn" sounds like "Kelvin" which J.J. Abrams (who directed Episode VII) tries to work into many of his movies[1]. This is an interesting bit of foreshadowing since Abrams did not work on The Phantom Menace.

Quotes

  • Pete: A lot of the garbage stayed the same.
  • Alex: Behind every great man spouting gibberish is a tired, harried woman.
  • Asterios: Am I having a stroke right now?!
  • Alex: Ask your doctor if Mysturall is right for you.
  • Asterios: (à la Montel Jordan) This is how we do it. This is how we ruin the movie.
  • Alex: People hate when we talk about the Toy Dampner.
