Hop on the jet ski with us and let’s ride the wave of this crazy show.

Ahsoka - S01E08 – Part Eight: The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord

Get…off…my…LAWN! It’s the lack of critical thought that broke the camel’s back. Zombies, make-shift light sabers, and Narnia references really mucked up this episode. Filoni’s cherry-picking method for choosing Star Wars lore has resulted in a muddied series that serves neither die-hards nor casual fans. Are we in a Star Wars dark age?

Electric Bookaloo: Theon III (Clash)

Theon begins a war with himself. Dr. Iain MacInnis discusses parallels with Theon and history. Anthony puts forth his theory that Theon is “Dark Davos.” Elysia from Wool-Shift-Dust talks Wheel of Time. Then Dr. Laura Young introduces International Relations with Ice-and-Fire examples.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) 20th Anniversary

Get ready for great dialogue, sudden bouts of grayscale, and lots and lots of blood. The Bride’s revenge-rampage is just as epic 20 years later. Jim and A.Ron discuss not only their experiences with the film, but also have behind the scenes stories for the movie nerd inside of you. Keep your shoes securely on and dive into the most Tarentino-y movie to ever exist.

Maester Class: Old Gods and New

Boston University’s Philip Haberkern answers a question about religious violence in a world of religious pluralism.

The Creator (2023)

If you’re a fan of robots, AI, Asimov-ian scifi, this might be the movie for you. Following on the all-too-relevant theme of AI, The Creator tells the story of a future where a large part of the world has embraced augmented humans, and the other hates it. It’s visually arresting and sometimes tonally unbalanced, but it will leave you with plenty to think about. And it was a struggle to get into the theater, so thank Jim and A.Ron for braving the difficulties.

Ahsoka - S01E07 – Part Seven: Dreams and Madness

Grand Admiral Thrawn isn’t the villain we deserved, he’s the villain we needed. Star Wars: Ahsoka keeps on a steady upward trend. The main complaint here is the criminal misuse of Wes Chatham. It’s not perfect, there are some odd character choices, but everyone’s still excited for the next episode.

Electric Bookaloo: Tyrion VIII (Clash)

Tyrion seizes the opportunity to wed Joffrey to the very bedable Margaery Tyrell. Cersei feels the remnants of her political power slipping away and Littlefinger climbs another rung of the ladder.
