Description
The third episode of our Star Wars season and the first of the Star Wars movies Jason likes. This episode focuses heavily on the excellence of Palpatine, both the actor and the character, as well as on the pacing failures of the film. The Philosophy of the Reel focuses on the real-world applications of the prescriptions for good and evil the film provides. We cover a number of film studies aspects, some Rhetoric of the Reel, and as the ultimate Dessert of the Reel, the absolute pleasure it was for us to see Samuel L. Jackson flying out a window, screaming into space!
