The boys cover a big one today. Ryan got to have his first Beggar's Canyon Boys theater experience. Did the finale of the prequels live up to the hype? Is Jackson gonna ruin the fun? Is Spider-Man 3 better than Challengers? All this and more.

The fellas discuss the incredible Clone Wars show (the first one!) from the legendary Genndy Tartakovsky. This ish really holds up and serves as an awesome connector between episodes 2 and 3.

Behind the Scenes! Phantom Menace Aftermath

NOTE: This is just part 1 of our Phantom Menace discussion because it took us about three hours to get through our conversation. I decided to split Phantom Menace up into two different episodes.

Well, fellow Beggar's Canyon Boys and Girls, we're finally here. It's a true milestone in our journey. The fellas have arrived at the one, the only, The Phantom Menace. Ryan was shocked, awed, and overwhelmed, as Jackson and Andy rant about their irrational love for the movie. Just kidding, Ryan had great points. But dang Jackson was sounding pretty smart too.
