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.

The Back To The Future trilogy has been a childhood favorite for both Turk & I for a long time. Having revisited the first movie for this retro roundtable, it brought us back to a very nostalgic state. I think we can all agree the 80's saw a lot of excellent original fun 'young' films like 'Back to the Future'. What really made these films immensely enjoyable then, and why they're still classics today, is that they really reflected what it was like being a young person in the 80s.....I guess in the 50s too?!. The proof is in the pudding with these movies. They were not just well written, directed, or acted. They were also well executed and most importantly they cut straight to the point.
Back To The Future is sheer fun with incredible energy! However it still manages to stay a heart felt innocent film basically about family - with some funny interesting but cleaver themes using the Oedipus Rex's story 🤔
What can we say about the acting. Overall everyone in the film is fantastic. Then we have Christopher Lloyd as the over-the-top mad scientist which is just sheer brilliance. Then there is Michael J. Fox as Marty Mcfly. With his brilliant dialogue, natural charisma, and raw energy - he totally owns the role and gives us one the greatest cinematic young heroes ever!
Back to the Future is one of the most enjoyable time-travelling classics. After all these years it still hasn't gotten old. Unfortunately, they don't make them like this anymore but then again I guess we can always just revisit them, right.
This is a Turk & Raz episode you'll want to go back in time to listen to. Thanks for listening!
