IT'S OUR 25th EPISODE!! In honor of such a wonderful achievement we will be diving into one of our most controversial topics, Padme Amidala. In today's episode we talk about Padme Amidala and debate whether she stays the amazing character she is introduced as in The Phantom Menace or if she suffers from a bit of sexist writing in the prequel ending Revenge of the Sith. Correspondent Sarah made an appearance so as to make sure Padme is properly represented.

Welcome back to Part 2 of our thoughts on Attack of the clones.

Today we bring in correspondent Sarah to defend the film Attack of the Clones that both Ethan and Alex have as the bottom of the barrel of Star Wars films. This will be in 2 parts as we have a lot to say about the film. Enjoy the episode and next week we will drop an extra episode of part 2 so the wait isn't so long.

Ethan and Alex both lose their minds at how predictable and unfulfilling this weeks episode of The Bad Batch is.  UnWhitewash the Bad Batch. 

Alex dives deeper into his sadness of The Bad Batch being The Clone Wars Season 8 while Ethan starts seeing a brighter future with the best episode yet.
