Commentary Track: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

A new Star Wars movie is almost upon us, and that means it’s time once again for the MovieFilm boys to mark the occasion with another commentary track talking through the one of the older films. For this go-round, we enter the prequel era with 1999’s The Phantom Menace! Whether you queue up your blu-ray or digital copy to watch along with us, or listen separately, you’ll find plenty to enjoy as we pick apart one of the weaker entries in the Star Wars canon and try to figure out where it stepped wrong. There’s behind-the-scenes trivia, observations on plot and story specifics, and our personal memories of returning after so many years to that Galaxy Far, Far Away.
