I got to see Episode III again in a theater last year and went in fully jazzed and ready to give it 10/10 as a fan experience, and I'm gonna be honest, Lucas's direction did kinda make me miss JJ Abrams after awhile.

I still think it's a better conclusion to its own trilogy than Rise of Skywalker, and even has more satisfying fan service as a farewell to the saga, in its way. But my memory of that movie was that it's pretty much a roller-coaster between its big moments and oof, all that stuff between Order 66 and the showdown on Mustafar, especially, I just wasn't feeling the urgency at all. I think of those 20-30 minutes as a crucial failure of that movie now, the circumstances of the story are so desperate and yet the movie feels weirdly meh about it because of how stiff it is.

Just finished listening to the whole series and agree with the above! Thanks a lot, Thor.

#1 favorite discovery was the "Moment of Decision" prologue, you hyped it up in your intro and it didn't disappoint. I'm definitely converted to the cause of an Alcoa Premiere box set. Love that Tammy Grimes theme too, and I wish I could see Inside the Movie Kingdom!

I'm actually not sure I'd ever gotten around to "Scherzo for Today" from the NBC News pieces either? Or it's been awhile but that's a fun one. This was also a reminder for me that I gotta finally watch those Amazing Stories episodes....I guess part of me has always liked knowing there were still two more Spielberg/Williams collabs just sitting out there.

One non-Williams piece of trivia I wanna nitpick was about the Heidi Game. You said that it went into "overtime" which implies the game was tied and Heidi interrupted who won (which still probably would have made US football fans really mad) but it was even funnier than that. The game was standard but just ran a little long into Heidi's premiere, and since it appeared the Oakland Raiders were going to lose, anyway, it might not have caused such a ruckus...except in those final 61 seconds on the clock that Heidi covered up, the Raiders unpredictably scored two touchdowns and won. You probably already know this but that's what made it extra crazy.

Anyway, late to the party but superb. As a JWFan for so many years it was kind of touching in a way to finally listen to you with all this runway on a subject you've always been frustrated isn't one of the bedrocks of this forum really appreciate you collecting all of this and sharing. I'm sure I will be listening again, especially to help enhance my reading of the big JW biography next year.

I'm glad I was able to listen on Google Podcasts in its dying days....it's the only app that had Celluloid Tunes, I guess because it works differently than other podcast catchers. I will miss it! But it made it slightly more convenient to download the show and save for the future
