Hello Phantom Menonites. I am Griffin. I'm David. Welcome to the Phantom podcast, Griffin and David present.

The Phantom podcast. The podcast where we talk about Star Wars episode one, the Phantom Menos, the one film that George Lucas got to make in his epic trilogy saga. I don't know what he wanted. What do he want? I don't know any movies he wanted. He's still alive. He is crazy. He is. I don't think he's doing great. But as we all know, Star Wars episode one, the Phantom Menos was the one Star Wars movie that was ever made. Yeah. That's the only one. And that's all we're going to talk about. And if you imply there's another one, we will

look at you as scants, I say. Yeah. We'll blockade your trade routes. We will block those fucking trade routes. And the donut ship. Someone point out to me that I forget who was, but someone on Twitter pointed out that there is a connective bridge within the donut ship. You know what we're saying? It was the donut ship. There was a hole in the middle. Yeah, there is something. Yeah, I thought it was free-flotter. That would be crazy. Yeah. Well, I'm going to. You just have to get it.

You just have to get in a ship and drive to the center ship and then get out of the ship. That's what I thought. David, you're saying, oh, that would be crazy. What isn't crazy in a movie that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. What isn't crazy? Everything's crazy. I guess so. A galaxy far, far away. Okay, I'm in bored. A lot of movies take place in different galaxies a long time ago. A long time ago. You're telling me this is the past? Well, how else would George Lucas know to write about it? Oh, you're right. Yeah.

I can't write about a few years. I'm assuming he unearthed all of this information somehow. How long are we talking?

A couple years. You think it was just like 15 years ago? In the 80s. Yeah.

It takes place in a galaxy far, far away. In 1982 in a galaxy far, far away. Right. People don't talk about that enough. A long time ago. There's a period piece this film. It is? Yeah, it's set in the past. A long time ago.

You say films take a lot of films. Usually, films take place in this galaxy. It's just far away in this galaxy.

Yeah, it's true. It's like, it's like, Boise. A lot of movies take place in Boise.

Far away in this galaxy. Things to do in Denver when you're dead. That's a further part of this galaxy. That's true.

Stars have said one the Phantom Mass is a film with a lot of haters, a lot of criticisms around it. Since it's a release, this podcast exists to try to not

quell those criticisms. No. Neither to refute them just to give them more analytical grounding. We're trying to really get to the bottom of this movie. There's one question that we're trying to answer every week. One question, what is the Phantom Manus about?

Now, when people talk about this movie, there's a lot of bio. There's a lot of bio. And there's one subject that that bio usually circulates around.

I think that when this film came out, the initial reaction, the initial negativity was mostly directed this way.

And we have addressed this. Yeah, we've talked about it.

But we've hesitated to do a full episode yet because it is such a sensitive subject. But I think, you know what, David, this is episode six.

It is. Gloves are off. We got to do it. We got to ask the questions.

No one dares ask about Jar Jar Banks. We have to answer the questions that no one dares ask about Jar Jar Banks.

They're to the best we can this week is a pop up pop up pop up.

Oh, file on Jar Jar Banks and the gun and the gun and race.

And the gun and race.

Well, George Lucas calls them. Goong and everyone else call them gun and guns.
