Saturday Jul 18, 2020
Saturday Jul 18, 2020
The boys from the NE return for their penultimate Star Wars commentary. It's been a long, and treacherous journey to get here, but before we reach our final station, we have one more stop along the way. That's right folks, it's time we check out the second entry in the "Star Wars Story" series: Solo: A Star Wars Story. (Sidenote, it's also probably the last Star Wars Story movie)
What will the boys think of Ron Howard's first entry in the Star Wars world? How will this Disney prequel film stand up against the last one? Find all those answers and more, in this exhilarating penultimate edition of! The Novice Elitists Presents: Cthulhu's Maw.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) Commentary
Friday Jul 10, 2020
Friday Jul 10, 2020
The Novice Elitists continue their Star Wars coverage with the episode they've been dreading most...Star Wars - Episode VII: The Last Jedi. Boy, has there been a more toxically divisive entry in the series? From the people who love it and defend it in the extreme, to the people who despise it and will take no other opinion, this movie certainly has had many words spilt across the vast interwebs. What will our boys from the NE have to add to the conversation? Probably not much! But the podcast is nearly 3 hours long, so there's gotta be something worthwhile in there. So check it out, cause what do'ya got to lose?
And keep your eyes peeled folks! We may be riding through a pretty heavy storm as we come to the end of this Star Wars debacle, but we can see the horizon not far off.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) Commentary
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
The Novice Elitists boys return to the Star Wars torture train, but this time it's not so torturey. In fact, unlike everything post the Tartakovsky series, the boys have a rather tempered down discussion on a Star Wars film, as they discuss the pros and cons of this first "Story" movie. So that's progress! Why don't you come on along for the ride, and we'll find out how Godzilla alum Gareth Edwards does, with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the show. It's mea culpa day here at Novice Elitists headquarters. We've done our hail Mary's, and we've served our time in penance, but before we can reach some form of resolution, we have to go back to where it all began...to our first Star Wars commentary, a long time ago, in a podcast far far away, so we can finally make good on the errors of our past. What will our intrepid travelers have to say about a movie they covered four years prior? Find out now, in this somber new edition of...The Novice Elitists Go See Moving Pictures.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) Commentary
Friday Jun 12, 2020
Friday Jun 12, 2020
The Novice Elitists boys return for their last Lucas era Star Wars Film, which is really just four TV episodes slapped together and sold as a movie. Talk about ending on a whimper...
That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's time for round two of the Star Wars crew trying to flesh out those clone wars that we've all heard about, but never really saw in the films. Will this animated "film" prove a better attempt then the Tartakovsky micro-series? Find out now, in this exciting new episode in the The Novice Elitists Saga.

Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) Commentary
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
The TNE boys return for the final episode of the prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith. It feels like we've been doing this forever at this point, but seeing Anakin's story coming to an end feels like the close to an era. (Unfortunately that will be totally undermined next week, when we watch the 2008 animated film, The Clone Wars)
Will the boys finally be impressed by an entry in the prequel series? Or will this one disappoint so much, they want to throw them all out the door? Find out now, in this exciting conclusion of! Revenge of the Siths: A Novice Elitists Story.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for some loving, because the boys are back, and we're still singing praise to our boy, Gennedy Tartakovsky. That's right folks, the temporary hiatus is lifted, and the Novice Elitists boys are still shockingly enjoying some Star Wars. So watch along with us if you have a copy, because the fun won't last forever...Revenge is on the horizon. ☠☠

Star Wars: Clone Wars Vol. 1 (2003) Commentary
Thursday Mar 26, 2020
Thursday Mar 26, 2020
Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived. After suffering through the CGI wasteland/writing malpractice that was the first two prequel films; Gennedy Tartakovsky is here to save the day!
It's a joyous time here at Novice Elitists central, where your two suffering compatriots finally get a chance to unmanacle themselves, climb off the racks, and actually enjoy a Star Wars commentary for a change.
And even better, we get to do the same thing next time! Maybe this Star Wars retrospective isn't a descent into hell after all!
(...Or is it just the calm before the storm?!?! ☠☠)

Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) Commentary
Monday Feb 24, 2020
Monday Feb 24, 2020
What's this dear listener?! Two Novice Elitists episodes in the same week? Is this Christmas?! Nope! But if it were you'd be getting coal, because the boys are once again putting their feet to the flames with another Star Wars film. Our intrepid travellers are desperately trying to find a way off this path of bad films, but for every positive avenue that stumbles our way, another embarrassingly bad scene swerves us off course. But bear with us friends, because there's a Tartakovsky shaped light on the horizon. But don't get too excited, because before we reach that shimmering nirvana, we gotta put on our best manacles and embrace the pain, as we watch Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones (Send in the Clones!).
