Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films! It’s January, which means it’s time for a fresh new year and a look at another Patrick Swayze film! The looming threat of Communism was ever-present in 1984. Back then Americans didn’t go a day without thinking about the menace of the Soviet Union and the possibility of World War III breaking out literally at any minute. It was a time of great paranoia and greater patriotism. “America the Free” seemed like a powerful yet fragile concept that could be tested to the breaking point by our enemies across the ocean without warning. Master filmmaker John Milius zeroed in on this national temperament with the classic action/drama Red Dawn. The Movie stars Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Powers Boothe, Harry Dean Stanton, and Charlie Sheen in his first role. Listen in as Dave, Arian, a returning Rad Ranger, and special guest Mike Gordon cheer on the Wolverines on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Fans have been hearing about the possibility of live action Star Wars television shows for decades. In November of 2019, as part of the launch of Disney’s new streaming service, we finally got one. While not on a network or even cable, The Mandalorian, is a weekly episodic series that eschews the saga of the Skywalkers and examines life in a galaxy far, far away from a different perspective. Listen in as Dave and the Execute Chapter 66 crew (minus Beth, who was recovering from a fight with a mudhorn) discuss the premiere season of The Mandalorian on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Recorded LIVE in the Bungalow of Eternal Sorrows, the Needless Things Irregulars gathered to review the final installment of the Skywalker Saga! Beginning in 1999 with young Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace, continuing in 1977’s Star Wars, and now ending in 2019 with Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, the Saga has been a long, uneven journey. Writer Chris Terrio and writer/director JJ Abrams had a difficult task ahead of them in resolving forty-two years of storytelling from many different creators. Did they succeed or will we be looking at 1983’s Return of the Jedi as the true conclusion of this tale? Listen in as Dave, Arian, Chad J. Shonk, and Head of Research Ryan Schweck analyze the biggest pop culture ending of their lifetimes on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!
