In honor of the Star Wars holiday, the Parkway Theater podcast team reviews ‘Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace’ (1999). Technically the first film in the Star Wars timeline, two Jedis escape a hostile blockade in search of allies and come across a young boy who may bring balance to the Force, but the long-dormant Sith resurfaces to claim their original glory. Does the filming technology of the 1990s give it an unbelievable CGI effect that impacts the overall enjoyment of the film or are you able to appreciate it purely for the nostalgia?
Tune in as the team discusses the epic action scenes, lightsabers, the all-star cast, and decides if this is actually a movie for children. And stay tuned for the post-podcast discussion of burnt beard smell and Jedi funeral etiquette. May the fourth be with you!

Bonus Episode - The Revenant @ The Parkway + Top Movies for the Big Screen
Parkway Theater podcast bonus episode!
The Parkway Podcast team reviews the American epic ‘The Revenant' (2015). This incredibly real and visceral film follows a frontiersman (Leonardo DiCaprio) on a fur trading expedition in the 1820s as he fights for survival after being mauled by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. Beyond the all-star casting, the film's cinematography alone has earned the awards it was given and declared to be best viewed on a big screen. Which inspires the team to discuss what other films they would love to watch/would be best in a theater setting.
Which films do you put on that list?
