Episode Description from the Publisher

For our ninety-eighth episode, we’re amazingly joined by a hero of mine, Patrick Cotnoir (The George Lucas Talk Show, “Hey, That’s Me!” podcast), for a discussion of the group audio commentary for a different George Lucas’ 2002 sequel “Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones”. Among the things discussed: embarrassing revelations regarding Yoda, the gutting of Disney’s home video division, big time actors starting as handmaiden decoys, Prince Xizor action figures, Lucas paying homage to himself, Hayden Christensen’s one perfect line delivery, Lucasfilm as part of the continuity on “The O.C.”, the much-mocked but eerily prescient political storytelling, and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “Boogie Nights” (1997), “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” (2003), and “Killers of the Flower Moon” (2023) For 500 hours of exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
