Star Wars: The Scruffy-looking Nerf Herders versus The Phantom Menace

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas, in honour of MAY THE FOURTH, finally voyage to the galaxy far, far away to embark on a new journey with George Lucas's Prequel Trilogy...

It's STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE and we're talking how George Lucas found his way back to the franchise with this fourth, but actually first, instalment. There will be lots of boring political jargon, pod races, double lightsaber battles, immaculate conception, midichlorians, and complaints about Jar Jar Binks and Anakin Skywalker! Plus, there will be fond memories, love for John Williams and lots more complaining about Jar Jar and Anakin Skywalker, as the two Scruffy-looking Nerf Herders try to use the force once again.

Is Jar Jar really that bad? Tune in to find out, and May the 4th Be With You!
