The hosts mention the Hero Academy, the paid program within Team Super Dad, before pivoting to the upcoming "May the 4th" Star Wars Day. They suggest using the three-day bank holiday weekend to watch the entire Star Wars film franchise, debating the cultural significance of the series.
Relationship Cadence and Star Wars Viewing Order
The hosts compare relationship maintenance to "ceremonies" in the tech industry and reference the 1983 film War Games. The conversation returns to Star Wars, with a passionate argument for watching the films in release order (4, 5, 6) rather than chronological order. They argue that watching the prequels first ruins the cinematic reveal of Darth Vader's identity for children.
The hosts debate the rare instances where movie sequels match or exceed the original, citing Aliens and The Empire Strikes Back as exceptions. They express skepticism about the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick, questioning if the original film needed a continuation. The discussion briefly touches on older franchises like Porky's and the disappointment of re-watching Weekend at Bernie's as an adult.
