Ep. 49 - The Phantom Menace

Fellow AIPT writer and Star Wars book club member Nicole H. Quinn joins us today to examine The Phantom Menace! We take a deep dive into the first chronological entry in the Skywalker Saga and how well it holds up over 20 years after its release.

We also discuss the recent firing of Gina Carano from The Mandalorian and all Disney and Lucasfilm projects.
