Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

This month our focus determines our reality as we kick off Cherry Bombs' Spring of Prequels with the movie that brought us together, STAR WARS EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE! Despite decades of critical bashing and toxic fandom, it's proven as seminal and essential as the original trilogy. We'll work through our complicated feelings for a film we've loved and loathed in equal measure for 25 years. The temperance of age, the revelation of perspective and the infectious passion of the boys from Blast Points Podcast helped us to reconsider what we now view as a flawed but deeply nostalgic comfort movie. Join us as we discuss our personal evolution on this divisive groundbreaker and never apologize for changing your mind!
