Recorded LIVE in the Bungalow of Eternal Sorrows, the Needless Things Irregulars gathered to review the final installment of the Skywalker Saga! Beginning in 1999 with young Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace, continuing in 1977’s Star Wars, and now ending in 2019 with Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, the Saga has been a long, uneven journey.

Did they succeed or will we be looking at 1983’s Return of the Jedi as the true conclusion of this tale? Listen in as Dave, Arian, Chad J. Shonk, and Head of Research Ryan Schweck analyze the biggest pop culture ending of their lifetimes on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films! It’s the spooky season, so a Halloween movie was a must, and while there are plenty of movies called Halloween… there are also a bunch called Trick or Treat, apparently. But this one features Rock’s Chosen Warrior, Sammi Curr! Also starring Gene Simmons, Ozzy Osbourne, and Marc Price (Skippy from Family Ties), this film follows outcast metalhead Eddie Weinbauer – aka Ragman for… some reason – as he learns about life, love, and not letting an evil heavy metal icon who has been resurrected through the power of backmasking electrocute his friends.
