It seemed a bit wordy, but as soon as that John Williams music started and the yellow text started rolling I was like “I don’t care who directed it I am down.” Steve: No! Not at all, dude, and he won me back with the opening crawl. Zack: So you went in there ready to hate The Last Jedi? I don’t need some galloping gumshoe gams and gats type of stuff in my high school mystery.


Zack: You call me “dude” and talk about “babes” all the time. Steve: I didn’t like Brick very much dude it had the 3rd Rock From the Sun guy talking like he was Humphrey Bogart in High School. Zack: That’s your critique? He shouldn’t use the letter “I” in his name? Zack: It’s probably the closest we will ever get to having that David Lynch Return of the Jedi that was rumored. Zack: He may not have a deep catalog of movies, but he’s an auteur which made him a really interesting choice to direct a mega-budget Star Wars movie. I didn’t really care positively about any of the other Star Wars directors, but this is the guy who made Brick and Looper, two movies I thoroughly enjoyed. Zack: Rian Johnson is a great director, I want to get that out of the way right off the bat. Steve: I’ve been waiting, dude, and you finally saw it. Zack: Too much White Castle and root beer again? Steve: I feel like I’m going to throw up. Steve saw the film the night after it opened and Zack has finally seen it, so the two square off to finally decide which opinion is correct. The other half of audiences, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes, seems to believe the movie is a travesty that betrays fans of the original trilogy.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi has proved to be a controversial film, enjoying great popularity among film critics and slightly more than half of audiences.
