  - Hello, and this is your PCJ pop, I'm Olivia.
• 0:10
  - And I'm Shawna.
• 0:11
  - And Shawna, it's so good to be back in person together
• 0:15
  if you're watching on a video version of this podcast.
• 0:18
  We're here, we're not floating heads, it's bodies.
• 0:21
  I love having a body.
• 0:22
  - So I'm curious, what do you recommend this time?
• 0:26
  - I recommend everybody watches Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.
• 0:31
  Tell 'em, I know that the prequels have gotten a lot of heat
• 0:34
  over the years, but I feel like they've gotten a resurgence
• 0:38
  recently.
• 0:38
  People are finding new love for the Star Wars prequels.
• 0:42
  I've been doing a rewatch and I just got up to revenge
• 0:45
  of the Sith and I watched it in theaters
• 0:48
  for the 20 year anniversary, and it was delightful.
• 0:52
  Like when Anakin kills the younglings, we all cheered,
• 0:56
  like blood-sourced animals.
• 0:58
  - I love how like rerun or re-release, I guess,
• 1:01
  is the better way to see the existence of the movie
• 1:03
  of a cult podcast.
• 1:05
  - Because everybody in the audience knows what's coming
• 1:07
  and we're getting excited.
• 1:08
  Like the minute that one line hits, everyone's like,
• 1:11
  yeah, like it was just such a good experience.
• 1:14
  And Hayden Christensen comes out and screened before
• 1:18
  and kind of says, you know, thank you all for coming
• 1:20
  to Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.
• 1:22
  And I'm so glad that he's getting his research.
• 1:25
  So I'm gonna pop the prequels.
• 1:28
  I think everybody should give him a try,
• 1:29
  especially revenge of the Sith.
• 1:31
  Watch Anakin become Darth Vader
• 1:33
  and thirst over Hayden Christians
• 1:35
  and shirtless and sweating.
• 1:37
  - It's a worthy venture.
• 1:39
  - It is.
• 1:40
  - It is.
• 1:41
  - Tails all this time.
• 1:42
  - It's a tail of, it's all this time.
• 1:43
  - Fun fact, this re-release was the highest grossing
• 1:47
  theatrical re-release of all time.
• 1:50
  - So that five times fast.
• 1:51
  - Highest grossing of theatrical re-release about,
• 1:54
  yeah, I'm done.
• 1:55
  But yes, watch some Star Wars.
• 1:56
  - Sean, I got very upset with me.
• 1:58
  - Here's a dog.
• 1:58
  - I got my birthday party because I said
• 2:00
  I'd never seen all of the Star Wars.
• 2:03
  - Yeah, like what?
• 2:04
  - What?
• 2:05
  I knew that Nicole hadn't seen all of them.
• 2:07
  - Yeah, that was bad.
• 2:08
  - I know.
• 2:09
  - I at least like Lord of the Rings, you know?
• 2:10
  - Okay, yeah, yeah.
• 2:11
  - I had one nerdy thing and I just went
• 2:14
  for Lord of the Rings.
• 2:16
  - Not, but I'm just--
• 2:17
  - You only get one nerdy slot in Lord of the Rings.
• 2:19
  - I was too busy being, trying to be cool.
• 2:21
  - I was too busy being popular and getting late.
• 2:23
  - Okay, what is your--
• 2:24
  - No, it's too busy being the new kid.
• 2:26
  It was like, I have to shed these weird things about me.
• 2:29
  (laughing)
• 2:31
  So my pop is a movie that came out last year in 2024.
• 2:36
  It is Speak No Evil.
• 2:39
  It has James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis in it.
• 2:42
  - Yes, I loved this one.
• 2:44
  - Oh, it was so good.
• 2:45
  I really, like the trailer gives you like a good idea
• 2:50
  of what's gonna happen, but it is just so creepy.
• 2:52
  - And I think that James McAvoy is such a good, like,
• 2:57
  sneakily scary person, like he's so attractive.
• 3:01
  - Yeah, that you wanna trust him.
• 3:02
  - Like, you wanna trust him.
• 3:03
  - Creep out, like, did you ever see split?
• 3:06
  - No, because my husband refuses to watch anything
• 3:08
  made by Imnight Shyamalan.
• 3:10
  - Oh, wow.
• 3:11
  - Like, refuses.
• 3:12
  - So I'm gonna have to watch it alone.
• 3:13
  He's never seen the sixth sense.
• 3:14
  - No, he has, but Avatar broke his heart
• 3:16
  so bad that we have a boy come in our house.
• 3:18
  - Okay, well, you can come over and watch it with me.
• 3:21
  - Just try to be San Francisco.
• 3:22
  (laughing)
• 3:24
  - So split is really, really good.
• 3:26
  He does, like, he has a dissociative identity,
• 3:31
  as I know it, as like multiple personalities.
• 3:33
  And he's so creepy in that.
• 3:35
  And it's like a similar performance.
• 3:38
  He doesn't have multiple personalities in this movie,
• 3:40
  but he does a good job of being like,
• 3:42
  oh, I'm like very attractive, but also very crazy.
• 3:46
  - It's like us.
• 3:47
  - Yeah, you know.
• 3:48
  - Yeah.
• 3:49
  - We may be a league above us if we're being honest,
• 3:51
  but it was a really crazy, not an attractive.
• 3:54
  - I thought that I had a lot to say
• 3:56
  about just like marriage dynamics.
• 3:58
  - Yeah, I agree.
• 4:00
  - Yeah, I really liked it.
• 4:01
  I would pop it and recommend you guys all watch it.
• 4:03
  - Awesome.
• 4:04
  - So we hope that you guys check out Star Wars Revenge
• 4:07
  of the Sith, who knows, maybe even I will,
• 4:10
  and speak no evil.
• 4:11
  And that's it for PCJ Pop.
