George Lucas Was Right to Keep Changing Star Wars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
George Lucas has spent decades changing the original Star Wars trilogy, and while some of those changes absolutely made the movies worse, I still think he was right to keep revisiting them. In this video, I go through the Special Editions, from Jabba and Hayden Christensen to Greedo shooting first, Vader’s added dialogue, Jedi Rocks, Victory Celebration, and the bigger question underneath all of it: when does improving your own work turn into replacing something audiences already loved? Because
Luke Skywalker Would NEVER Make Grogu Choose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Luke Skywalker should have been the one Jedi capable of building something better than the Order that came before him. But when Grogu becomes his student, Luke gives him a choice between continuing his Jedi training or returning to Din, recreating the same kind of false choice his own life should have taught him to reject. In this video, I look at why the Jedi were right to fear attachment, where their solution failed Anakin, what Luke actually learns from Vader, and why Grogu should have been t
Endgame's Encore is Pathetic (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Ned Stark judged Jaime Lannister for breaking his oath to the Mad King, but the more you look at both characters, the more ironic that judgment becomes. Ned eventually finds himself in a situation where loyalty to his king comes into conflict with protecting someone he loves, and he makes almost the exact same kind of choice Jaime did years earlier. The difference is that Ned never learns the truth about why Jaime killed Aerys, while Jaime spends years carrying the judgment of a man he seems to
Resident Evil Is the Most Video Game Movie I’ve Ever Seen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I went into Resident Evil knowing almost nothing about the games, and somehow walked out feeling like I had just played one.This movie understands something a lot of video game adaptations miss. It is not enough to recreate the monsters, weapons, rooms, and references. What made Resident Evil work for me was the way it constantly takes away every reasonable option until the protagonist is forced to move toward the exact thing neither he nor the audience wants to face.In this video, I talk about
