Ep. 26 - Nerdstalking gets Milked by 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'

 

Listen as Bill and Chad milk everything they can out of their breakdown of the go-nowhere middle episode of the current Star Wars trilogy. We also give our thoughts on the brutally excellent The Punisher Netflix series. *SPOILERS INSIDE, AND NO LOUNGING SEA CREATURES WERE ACTUALLY MILKED IN THE MAKING OF THIS EPISODE.

Show Notes:

01:00 - The start of our discussion of Netflix's The Punisher.

04:55 - Shocking revelations about Punisher actor Jon Bernthal.

30:44 - The start of our discussion on The Last Jedi.

46:48 - A useless scene: Finn and Rose at the Cantina er I mean Casino.

56:13 - The singularly strangest scene in any Star Wars movie.

1:06:24 - Jokes that would have been rejected for a Marvel movie, put into a Star Wars movie.

1:16:32 - To be fair, a couple of not-so-lame jokes from The Last Jedi.

1:21:20 - How the much-better movie Rogue One helped recapture our lost youth.

1:24:52 - The Last Jedi makes Bill and Chad appreciate the prequels.... for opposite reasons.

1:27:30 - Did The Last Jedi include a reference to 1978 short spoof film Hardware Wars?

 

Thanks for listening!
