The Ahsoka series is finally here and it is an epic moment for Star Wars Fandom! Join us as we penetrate deep into Ahsoka and review the highly anticipated first two episodes of the latest live-action offering from Lucasfilm. We dissect these episodes so deep that we even created our very own version based on the Bechdel test - the George Lucas Star Wars test (GLSW). We use this test in our review to evaluate whether or not these episodes portray Star Wars - the characters, the story, and universe properly in how George Lucas originally intended it to be! If you are a big time die hard fan, or a new comer to Star Wars, and you can't wait to get a taste of live action Ahsoka like us. Our podcast is the place to be. Thanks for listening!

We're back with another Retro Roundtable. In this episode we discuss the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) movie. Join us as we travel back in time and remember all the craziness that was Turtlemaina - the comic, the cartoon, the toys, and every type of merchandise item you could think of. 1987 to 1992 was a glorious time to be a turtle! Thanks for listening.

The Ahsoka series is upon us. Join us as we talk about what this series means to the potential fate of Star Wars. Dave Filoni hasn't yet let us down, but Star Wars is in a weird place right now. Ahsoka is such a beloved character, and this show really needs to knock it out of the park. Thanks for listening!

In this episode we talk about the casting of Superman and Lois Lane for James Gunn's Superman Legacy. Did he knock it out of the park, or is it already dean in the water?! We also talk about the Flash movie box office failure and what it all means for the future of comic book movies in general. Has superhero fatigue finally caught up with us? Or is there something entirely else at work here causing the downward slope in box office revenue? As usual we break it down the Canadian Bacon way. Thanks for listening!

In this episode we talk some major Star Wars news and rumors. First we discuss Mark Hamill maybe saying farewell to Star Wars, and our fondest memories of one of the greatest heroes of our generations. We also discuss Natalie Portman saying she is open to reprising her role as Padme Amidala. Lets just say both our lightsabers are fully ignited for her return :P Finally we discuss the ever persistent rumor Disney is selling Lucasfilm and George Lucas is the one who is going to buy it back?! Will we get to thank the maker, or is this just wishful drinking. Thanks for listening.

I have bad feeling about this. Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse for Star Wars. Kathleen Kennedy & Co. never seems to disappoint us in leaving us scratching our heads. Join us as we try to discuss our take away - recapping Star Wars Celebration 2023. If you know us by now. You know we don't pull any punches as it relates to things we don't like about the current state of Star Wars. But, that doesn't mean we think every announcement made by Lucasfilm was bad....does it, right Turk?! lol

We're back after a much needed break, and we're ready to cover some interesting news as it relates to some of our favorite IPs. First on deck is the much anticipated live action show covering MCU's Secret Invasion. Samuel L Jackson is back as Nick Fury, and the premise on paper sounds promising. However, information has come to light about the show being inspired by current world events. Will this be the usual MCU virtual signaling and preaching? Or will it mean something totally different and awesome?
In addition, we also discuss Mandalorian Season 3 ratings slide, and Jon Favreau's recent statements claiming the buck stops at him when it comes to creative control with the show. Is this just a deflection to Protect Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy? If not, then the question becomes is Jon Favreau really fit to write for episodic TV?
As usual we break it down the only way we can - with zero punches pulled! Anyways, come join the discussion and fun. As we fight one soy boy at a time. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to another retro roundtable. For this roundtable we have become legend…. Legends of the Fall, that is. Turk and I always talk about how they don’t make movies like they used to anymore. To be honest we can’t remember the last time a film could hold a person, so spell bound. Well, the 1994 tragic and heartbreaking love story ‘Legends of the Fall’ does this to perfection. Not only are the characters in this movie engaging and vividly portrayed by the cast such as the likes of Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Ormond, & Aidan Quinn. They also bring an inspired nuance and undertones, that is shame to this day none of the cast received an Oscar consideration for their portrayals. Everything in this movie is haunting, especially the Oscar winning cinematography capturing the beautiful scenery set in the Montana backdrop.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen. If generational period films is your type of thing? Then this episode of the Turk & Raz Podcast has the jam you need. Thanks for listening!
P.S. Sorry about the audio. We tried to salvage the podcast audio as best we could. Our only other option was re-record and who wants to do that lol.
