I am kicking myself for the fact Laura Dern is not mentioned once in this episode.
This was supposed to be a Die Hard 2 episode with Dalton and Mike from Sick Flicks! Unfortunately, I forgot to hit the record button so that episode is lost but will forever be part of MoviePod lore.
Dalton came up with a great save though. We did an impromptu loose episode on a film that got rave reviews on release and made a ton of money. However, detractors within a couple of days declared it to be the film that ruined Star Wars. Did Rian Johnson ruin the Star Wars legacy? Or did the backlash against this film ruin Star Wars? Either way, The Last Jedi has been claimed as either the nadir or a high point of the Star Wars saga.
We absolutely loooooove this film and both believe it is a top 3 Star Wars film. Dalton and I try to figure out what people dislike about the films while balancing our incredibly deep love for the movie.
