Return of the Jedi Rewatch: Ewoks, Jabba, Vader & George Lucas’ Weird Changes
Jason, Rachel, and guest Jeshua Kidd revisit Star Wars: Episode VI — from Jabba’s Palace and Luke’s rescue plan to Leia, Han, the Ewoks, the Emperor, Vader’s redemption, and all the strange little choices that make this such a beloved, messy, muppety Star Wars movie. We also get into George Lucas’ Special Edition changes, including Jedi Rocks, the CGI additions, and why some of those updates still drive fans absolutely insane. Is Return of the Jedi the weakest of the original trilogy? The most fun? Secretly underrated? Let’s get into it.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review: Worth It or Waste of Talent?
Jason and Rachel review The Devil Wears Prada 2, the 2026 sequel directed by David Frankel and starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Lucy Liu, and BJ Novak. They saw it opening day — and came out on opposite sides of the aisle. This episode covers everything: the sequel's box-office performance, the unnecessary love subplot, Miranda's evolving (and arguably defanged) character, Nigel's long-overdue moment, and the question everyone's asking — does The Devil Wears Prada 2 earn its existence, or is it just nostalgia bait? Full spoilers for both films. You've been warned. New episodes weekly. Find us on YouTube, Instagram, and Patreon. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

[Patreon Preview] Solo Concerts, Gym Chaos and Chopsticks
Subscribe to Thumb War on Patreon to hear the full episode or give our free trial a go to hear more. This week’s Patreon episode is a classic Thumb War hang — a little music, a little chaos, and a lot of tangents. We get into going to concerts solo, fall down a music rabbit hole (including some strong bass player takes), and somehow end up in a surprisingly heated gym story and a truly bizarre news moment. Loose, funny, and all over the place — exactly how these episodes tend to go. Appreciate you guys for being here.
