Prequel Pals – Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (Movie Squad Podcast #84)
“Every saga has a beginning…” Welcome to a very special episode of the Movie Squad podcast where we reunite the “Prequel Pals.“ Yes, after assembling together to review the Sopranos prequel movie, The Many Saints Of Newark in 2021, your host Tristan Fidler welcomes back Libby Noble and Jackson Hawdon, both former Out To Lunch and Drivetime presenters and massive Phantom Menace fans, and Axel Carrington (New Talk, Hip Priest) to discuss one of the most famous prequels of all time!
Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999) was long-awaited, eagerly anticipated and ultimately quite divisive, and we revisit George Lucas’ film for a comprehensive discussion. Comparing when they first saw the movie and how it stands up now, the quartet also tackle the Pod Race sequence, Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, Ewan McGregor’s performance as Obi-Wan, and much more! Please enjoy this further entry into the Prequel Pals saga!
Please note: this was recorded earlier in 2022 well before the Obi-Wan Kenobi prequel/sequel TV show for Disney Plus.
