Episode description
The Butter Crew concludes their trek through our Desert Movies theme with Sam's selection, 1977's A New Hope: Star Wars Episode IV! How spellbinding are the visual effects, characters, and pacing of this franchise-starter? If Rey of the sequel trilogy is a "Mary Sue", isn't Luke Skywalker? Has Star Wars course corrected some of its blindspots as its cinematic universe expands? Will Dave admit he was probably being a bit of a curmudgeon when trashing the prequels? Answers to all these questions and more as we look back on this sci-fi/cultural touchstone!
