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
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.

Halloween has arrived early here at The Novice Elitists studio. We've got our candy corn out for eating, and our pumpkins primed for carving. But before that, we have to get to the highlight of the season, a great monster-mystery film. That means it's time to finally break out our pre-Rogue One Peter Cushing film...The Beast Must Die.
The boys will mostly be going in blind on this one, so you might want to watch the movie along with us. And if that's the case, then break out your copies of the film and follow along with your buds, in this exciting new episode of: The Novice Elitists' Present: Ten Little Werewolves.

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.

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.
