StarWTF!? Episode 22: Ithorians

Don't call them Hammerheads! they are Ithorians. Everyone's favorite Cantina-dwelling, sometimes force-sensative dual-mouthed, awesome looking aliens. We discuss the benefits and detriments to the species, as well as their fate in the ever-expanded Star Wars universe.

Ithorians were a mammalian herbivorous sentient species from the planet Ithor. They were commonly called "Hammerheads" by less sensitive beings because of their long, curving neck and T-shaped head. They found this nickname offensive.

Scarjo A Go-Go Episode 28: He's Just Not That Into You, or, "Four Things"

This week I analyse Scarlett Johansson's performance in the star-packed women-are-like-this-and-men-are-like-this broad gender stereotype comedy (!?) He's Just Not That Into You. Will Scarlett break the slump and be given a character with something to do? Does this film, based on a self help book, have something insightful to say? Will I, like the titular "he" be just not that into it?

StarWTF!? Episode 21: Cloud Car

Cloud Cars are so silly, but at the same time they are so cool! That's what makes this discussion so interesting. We love the Cloud Car but we just don't get it. Why are there two separate pods? In this episode we explain what they both do and how we would improve the current design.

Cloud cars were small, atmospheric craft used for various purposes. Manufacturers of cloud cars included Bespin Motors, Ubrikkian Yards, and Bakur RepulsorCorp. They were a common sight in Cloud City on Bespin.

Scarjo A Go-Go Episode 27: The Spirit, or, "Anything Goes"

This week we sit through Frank Miller's incomprehensible grim and gritty take on Will Eisner's The Spirit! Can our hero Scarlett Johansson transform into a scientist, a chauffer, a sexy nurse and a Nazi and still keep her dignity intact? Can Frank Miller actually direct a film? IS this actually a film? I'm going to pull it all apart and tell you the TRUTH!
