Snyder, Mangold, Johnson & Rancorous Fans
James Mangold came out swinging on Twitter, declaring that fans behaving like jerks will ensure that auteurs steer clear of the big franchises. He cited the treatment of Rian Johnson online as a prime example.

Customer Reviews
Interesting
Great discussion and in depth look, you definitely know what you are talking about.
Crazy good Star Wars inspirations
This show is crazy good with how in-depth they get for their analysis. It's so interesting to hear their perspectives, especially when they disagree. It's like a modern day Siskel & Ebert, where you can agree with whoever is talking and then the other can change your mind. But about stuff that has to do with what Star Wars people did. Great concept!
That's one in a million.
Mike and John bring an excellent and extremely knowledgeable look at the creations of the people behind the magic of Star Wars. The show is at its best when diving into the minutiae of their chosen subjects, something they do with a perspective and knowledge base that makes them endlessly entertaining, especially when Mike is expressing subdued rage at films being shown in the improper aspect ratio or frame rate or he's gushing about some obscure film being "the best thing ever."
