You're Wrong

Pressing ahead with their Star Wars series, this week Luciano & Matt tackle the second movie in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, "The Last Jedi".

And tackle it they did! For 90 minutes, in fact. They talk about their high hopes for some of the early ideas, their distaste for ever-escalating power levels, unnecessary MacGuffins and plot-powered technology, as well as their overall opinions on the narrative departures this movie takes from its predecessor.

Oh, and Luciano whines about "what they did to 'my guy' Luke!" (his words, not mine). Like, a lot. For a concerning amount of time. Really.

Previous Episode

Disney vs. Star Wars | We Were All Wrong About "The Force Awakens"

In the third installment of Matt & Luciano's clinical (some would say surgical) analysis of Star Wars under Disney's tutelage, they finally get to the first movie of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, "The Force Awakens"!

So what are we working with, here? A female action hero as a main character? Sign me up for some of that! A Stormtrooper that not only takes off their helmet but also betrays the Empire (*ahem*, I mean the "First Order") and joins the Rebel Alliance (uh... the "Resistance", sorry)? Noice. A galaxy littered with the remnants of a failed autocracy, a visual cautionary tale for any would-be dictators about what happens when people rise up and stand together against oppression and tyranny? Just take my damn money already!

Well, I'll be! With ideas as refreshing and intriguing as these, there's just no way they would let nostalgia overshadow it all, right?

... Right? 🥺

Next Episode

Disney vs. Star Wars | You're Right About "The Rise of Skywalker" (Unless You Like It)

Next up on Matt & Luciano's Star Wars deep-dive is the abomination known as "The Rise of Skywalker", the last movie of the Star Wars sequel trilogy (and the last movie of the whole "Skywalker saga", in fact).

Look, you've seen the title of this episode, you read the summary. It's no secret: they both hate it. Hell, if you've been listening to You're Wrong for any length of time, you've known this for a while now, what with how much and how often they bring this dreck up, even when the discussion has nothing to do with Star Wars.
Well... now the conversation is about Star Wars. And specifically about this movie. So, like the Sith of old, they let their hate flow through them and were finally able to give this piece of shit the thorough, no holds barred beating it deserves. It's definitely worth a listen.
