IT'S STAR WARS WEEK! Star Wars week begins with Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Chris Mitchell and Allen talking over the original theatrical cut of Star Wars. But this is a nitpicker commentary so they take aim and fire proton torpedoes at every exhaust port they can find. They rip a new hope, a new hole by lovingly exploring every plot problem, contrivance and just plain crazy premise. That's how we show our love here, by tearing it apart! We nitpick because we love.

He is reading the Anthony Valenta classic "The Dangers of Butterbeer". If you would like to hear Chris read your story or other craziness please send it to Geekfights@gmail.com. Enjoy!
