This week I take you behind the curtain and expose the secrets of magician Christopher Nolan when Scarlett Johansson is saddled with the unwieldy The Prestige. Will she manage something memorable or will she drown under layers and layers of plot? I'm going to uncover it all - even if my opinions on this film aren't too popular...

StarWTF!? Episode 17: Grand Moff Tarkin

Today we discuss and tribute one of the coolest, and evilest characters in the Star Wars saga, Grand Moff Tarkin... WHO HAS A FIRST NAME NOW!?!? Did you know he is called Wilhuff? This is just bonkers. Are you going to next tell me that Palpatine has a first name, and it's Sheev? :)

We love Tarkin here and we talk for quite a bit about him, his cheekbones, and his quotable lines.

Wilhuff Tarkin was a Human male who was one of the most powerful individuals in the Galactic Empire, a Grand Moff who shaped Imperial doctrine and was the driving force behind the creation of its key embodiment, the Death Star.
