It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast. We’re still doing this! High fives all around.

Joe is off this week so Chris, and special guest Rick Marshall of Digital Trends, get deep into all-things movies, television and pop culture with discussions ranging from Zack Snyder’s Justice League to parenting during a pandemic to toxic fandom, the future of movies and movie theaters, their first “adult” movie experiences, what they’re watching and looking forward to and a whole lot more.

No really, they talk about a lot of stuff . . . and most of it’s pretty damn interesting. Why not give it a listen?

This is just, well, I don’t know. Love it or hate it, here’s a video (crafted by YouTube’s Michael McNulty) that shows all six Star Wars movies at the same time. At least, if you or a loved one has not seen one or more of the movies, this is a way to do it quickly and efficiently.

Not to say this is a good way, it’s just efficient. In truth, it gave most of us here a headache. But then we usually like to watch our favorite (and not so favorite) movies one at a time.

Call us old fashioned, but that’s the way we like it. I really hope this isn’t the start of a trend. That said, it is pretty interesting and even, at points, kinda fun to watch.

Draw your own conclusions by watching the video after the break.

With the Blu-Ray release of the Star Wars saga coming this September, 20th Century Fox is titillating fans with a sneak peek at some of the extras, including this trailer of some footage cut from the original trilogy.

The clip shows a handful of glimpses at some deleted scenes, including the “wampas in the Hoth base” sequence. These aren’t from the digitally remastered/Greedo-shoots-first editions released in the late ‘90s; these are from the original original films, right down to the ‘70s film grain—and that’s not to say they look fuzzy. They’re as crisp and good-looking as you could want.

Fox plans to release Blu-Ray editions of both the original trilogy as well as the prequels and, for the fans who need every damn thing, a whopping nine-disc Complete Saga edition that will include over 30 hours of special features from deleted and alternative scenes like these to, well, pretty much anything else George has lying around in the archives.

You can view the trailer after the jump.

Now it all makes sense. For years fans have wondered what happened to the visionary genius responsible for films like American Graffiti, Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Now, the truth can be told.

Apparently, the real George Lucas has been imprisoned for many years and an impostor has taken his place. How else can one explain the later Star Wars films and the endless obsession with “improving” the original ones.

In this new video from YouTube’s own Slick Gigolo we finally have the real story from the real man himself: George Lucas. At last.

Check out the video after the break. That is, if you can handle the truth.
