In this episode, we dive into another edition of "Bogan's Advocate" to take a hard look at Solo: A Star Wars Story. To keep things interesting, we split the crew 50-50 to argue positions completely opposite of how we actually feel. On the positive side, we give credit where it's due: the movie's gritty, classic Star Wars atmosphere, Bradford Young's dynamic cinematography, Donald Glover's incredibly charismatic turn as Lando, and the high-stakes tension of sequence highlights like the Kessel Run. On the critique side, we push back against some of the clunky camera choices, corny callback humor, how quickly Val was killed off, and that unfulfilled Maul cliffhanger ending. Join us for another fun an exciting adventure with our Bogan's Advocate series.

After years of listener requests, the MovieFilm boys finally tackle SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY with a full commentary track! Join us as we revisit the galaxy's most unexpectedly charming spinoff, dig into the film's famously troubled production history, debate Alden Ehrenreich's surprisingly great turn as Han, celebrate Donald Glover's effortlessly cool Lando, and ask how this movie went from “disappointment” to genuine fan favorite. Along the way: tangents on Star Wars fatigue, underappreciated franchise entries, outrageous expanded universe connections, and the lingering heartbreak that Lucasfilm never followed up on that ending.

The film that holds the notorious distinction of being the only film in the franchise to fail at the box office, Solo: A Star Wars Story was supposed to work. An origin story about one of cinema's most beloved heroes, directed by the steady hand of Ron Howard? Turns out Disney severely miscalculated. But nearly a decade on, is it really as bad as its box office numbers? Or does it deserve some love? Guest Adam Hecht is back for some Star Wars therapy._________________Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetterLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_officialX: https://x.com/WWIBpodcastSubscribe!

Andries Beckers (Welcome to the AA, Studio Brussel) was een Star Wars-kind. Een passie die hij nog altijd meedraagt, zij het niet voor alles wat er vandaag uitkomt. 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' is wat dat betreft een mooie uitzondering. Een verdienstelijke film, ondanks het hindernissenparcours dat de productie heeft afgelegd.'Solo' is een western in het universum van 'Star Wars', het achtergrondverhaal van het meest kleurrijke personage Han Solo en een buitenbeentje tout court.We hebben het over de gedumpte regisseurs van 'The Lego Movie' en vakman Ron Howard die de meubelen moest redden. Over de ondankbare taak voor Alden Ehrenreich om in de schoenen van een jonge Harrison Ford te kruipen. En over Emilia Clarke die met elke haarkleur staat.Maar het gaat ook over een clandestien 'The Phantom Menace'-feestje, de topjob van een voormalige Finse basketbalspeler en hoe George Lucas en niet Disney de franchise (bijna) heeft kapotgemaakt.
To celebrate the milestone of 250 episodes (!) we chose our favourite film scores from the last decade with Sean picking John Powell's work (with John Williams contributions) from Solo: A Star Wars Story and Andy picking Michael Abel's score for Jordan Peele's Us. Timings for this week are: Solo: A Star Wars Story: (04:19) Vanya on 42nd Street: (35:54) Next week we will be exploring the seedy side of the Swinging Sixties.

We're revisiting Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) — the Star Wars movie everyone shrugged at… and maybe shouldn't have. JD, Rachel and Jeshua break down why Ron Howard's takeover actually works, why Alden Ehrenreich nails a younger Han Solo, and why Donald Glover's Lando deserves his own cinematic future. From pure fan service to sharp dialogue and surprisingly great casting, Solo feels better now than it did on release. Was this movie a victim of Star Wars fatigue? Or did audiences just miss the point? Spoiler alert: we're firmly on Team Solo. Join our Patreon for ad-free episodes + bonus shows: http://bit.ly/44Mo8xU Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tyler and Konnery are joined by local space outlaw and Star Wars megafan Taylor McLaughlin to dissect the entertaining flop that is "Solo: A Star Wars Story"! Together they discuss prequelitis, huge production changes, go deep on Star Wars side characters, talk the Millennium Falcon ride at Disneyland, and so much more on this coaxium smuggling episode of The Friendchise Podcast! What's New: Kon: The Gilded Age (Netflix), Mythic Bastionland (TTRPG) Tyler: Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi book series (Libby) Taylor: The Hobbit (PS2), The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (PS5) Movie review starts at 31:30!
The gang recaps Solo with their odd sense of humor that you all have come to tolerate. Special guest Brian tries to power through his notes. Andrew uses the word "soliloquy" in a sentence. Ted talks about a tree penis. And Lauren keeps making weird noises.
You found it! The lost episode! Congratulations. Four years in the making, this episode took more time in post than the movie it describes. Does that make it better? Simply put: yes. In this blast from the past, our stalwart heroes dive into Solo: A Star Wars Story. The Star Wars Story so good, they stopped making A Star Wars Stories.Seriously though, this episode was recorded immediately after the Rogue One episode, yet it sat unedited and unfinished in our hard drives for literal years, just waiting. If you've stumbled upon this one late in the game, we hope you enjoy it. It was a fun look back at the earlier version of our show, but produced in the same quality as our later episodes; a perfect time capsule of how we were and what we became.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHIt's a lawless time, y'all. Organized crime syndicates are running a muck since the fall of the Galactic Republic, forcing others to fight for survival. On the industrial ship-building planet Corellia, Lady Proxima, leader of the White Worms gang, is after a hyperfuel known as coaxium. That's when we meet Han. He is trying to escape Corellia for good. He feels confident he can do that after getting his hands on some coaxium. His girlfriend Qi'ra is pumped. But as they go to escape, they are found by some of Proxima's baddies and are taken to her. He's like oh I don't have an coaxium, but what i do have is THIS! He pulls out a rock and throws it through a window which lets in light which Proximia and her species are allergic to and they escape! But it does take long for them to catch up with him and a chase ensues. They bribe an Imperial officer at a spaceport for passage off-world. Han makes it through, but Qi'ra is captured at the last moment. Separated by a security gate, Han promises to return for her.Alone and desperate, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy. When asked for his surname, he's called “Solo” since he claims to have no family. Fast forward three years, Han has been expelled from flight school for acting a fool and is now down in the mud of a battle. There, he encounters a group of thieves disguised as soldiers—Tobias Beckett, Val, and Rio. When Han tries to blackmail his way into their crew, Beckett has him arrested and thrown into a pit with a deadly creature: a Wookiee named Chewbacca.Han and Chewbacca form a quick alliance, escaping together and convincing Beckett to take them in. Realizing Chewbacca's brute strength is valuable, Beckett agrees. The crew sets off for their next job—stealing coaxium from a moving train. The heist goes sideways when they're ambushed by a gang of pirates. Rio is fatally shot, Val sacrifices herself, and the coaxium is lost in the chaos.Beckett reveals they were working for Dryden Vos, a high-ranking figure in the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, and now owe him. To make amends, Han and Chewbacca offer to help steal unrefined coaxium from the mines on Kessel. Beckett agrees and takes them to Dryden's luxurious yacht, where Han reunites with Qi'ra—now a high-ranking lieutenant.Vos approves the plan but insists Qi'ra accompany them. She leads them to the suave smuggler Lando Calrissian, hoping to use his ship, the Millennium Falcon. Han loses a rigged card game to Lando but convinces him to join the mission in exchange for a cut. With Lando's droid co-pilot L3-37 onboard, the team sets off.On Kessel, L3 sparks a riot among droid slaves, while Chewbacca breaks off to free Wookiee prisoners. The team escapes with the coaxium, but L3 is destroyed and Lando is injured. Using L3's navigational system, Han pilots the Falcon. Han hatches a plan to outsmart Dryden Vos. It's a classic double cross station. When they meet again, Dryden exposes Beckett as his informant. But Han had anticipated the betrayal—the coaxium given to Vos is real, and the fake decoy was a bluff.Beckett takes Chewbacca and the coaxium hostage, but Han later confronts and shoots him before he can retaliate. Meanwhile, Qi'ra kills Dryden Vos but secretly contacts her true boss: Darth Maul. She takes Vos's ship and leaves, choosing to embrace her role.Han tracks down Lando and challenges him to a rematch in cards. This time, Han wins, gaining ownership of the Millennium Falcon.With Chewbacca by his side, Han sets off for Tatooine, following a tip about a powerful gangster—Jabba the Hutt—looking for smugglers for a big job.

Welcome back to Franchise Me! This week we tell another story, and it is finally the one that Ryan wants to talk about, even though Andrew doesn't really, as we break down "Solo: A Star Wars Story."

For Star Wars spin-off Solo: A Star Wars Story, it wasn't supposed to be like this. Infamously, 90 days into photography, parent company Lucasfilm opted for a director change. Out when Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, and in came Ron Howard. And Howard had less than year to retool the movie, and shoot a whole lot of new footage. It remains one of the most infamous Film Stories of the 2010s. For the second half of the episode, Simon is joined by filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo, for a long chat about their career, their new film - The Electric State - and a strange film magazine of the 1970s...

When Disney announced they were making a young Han Solo movie, most fans simply wondered... why? Audiences did not show up to the theater to find out, and the result was the least profitable Star Wars film to date.

Case and Sam are joined by Randy Allain from the Media / Lit podcast to ask "Who are your people?" Tune in for this dissection of Solo: A Star Wars Story! Overview In the latest episode of the podcast, hosts Case and Sam welcome guest Randy from Media Lit to delve into "Solo: A Star Wars Story," rating the film as 'fine' but flawed and assigning it a C grade. The discussion highlights Alden Ehrenreich's portrayal of Han Solo, praises Donald Glover's performance as Lando Calrissian, and critiques the characters' limited screen time, particularly for Lando and L3. The conversation shifts to character dynamics, the film's pacing, and the handling of complex themes such as slavery, with commentary on visual effects and significant plot elements like the Kessel Run. The hosts explore the film's production history, specifically the impacts of the directorial switch from Lord & Miller to Ron Howard, and suggest improvements for pacing and character development.

Join The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they continue their non paved road of the Disney movies and side stories with this review of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Find out what Matt thought when Ron Howard, one of his favorite targets, took over the reigns and if noted Han Solo fan Adam can break his streak of bad Star Wars experiences.

Join Ethan, Micah and Ben as they revisit SOLO: A Star Wars Story. This movie is about Han Solo before he crossed paths with The Rebellion, as he was a former Imperial Militant who became a space pirate cruising around the Outer Rim alongside his fellow outlaw: the mighty Wookiee, Chewbacca. This is the story of how he came to be known as the galaxy's most notorious smuggler, and how the man became a legend.Time Codes00:00 - Intro 4:30 - The Blue Milk8:21 - Opening Crawl9:35 - Changing Directors 11:43 - Our thoughts and history with SOLO24:00 - Movie Talk59:07 - Lightsaber Duels Ranked 1:01:50 - Favorite Character1:07:35 - Profit/Box office 1:11:35 - Favorite Scenes1:16:15 - Academy Award 1:21:17 - Critic Scores 1:25:50 - Our Scores 1:36:50 - Our Ranking 1:39:30 - Next week is The Rise of SkywalkerCheck us out on LetterboxdBen's Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/5nFMdEthan's Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/4QIVrMicah's Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/1bjytMusical themes are from @AuralnautsFollow us on Spotify for Weekly Podcast Shows! https://open.spotify.com/show/4gidMe4gtH9YhrhG7NQKlp?si=16bd4940f21b426dFollow us on Apple Podcasts for Weekly Podcast Shows!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/multiverse-monologues/id1598823220Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/multiversemonologues?utm_medium=copy_linkLogo done by the fabulous @chameleo.angel on instagram.

By now we've gotten to see all our favorite "classic" Star Wars heroes return to the saga after a decades-long wait, and then they all got snuffed out. Except for Lando, of course...the least "heroic" out of them all...he gets to live! You remember he double-crossed the REAL heroes and was eyeing Princess Leia from the get-go. Grrrrr...it's enough to make you wanna pull someone's arms out of their sockets (like the screenwriters?) but here we have a stand-alone movie about the coolest dude ever to zip through hyperspace: Han Solo! Why, we'd be happy if EVERY Star Wars movie was a Han Solo adventure. On the condition that he's played by Harrison Ford! Which, sorry to say, he's not. We've got a younger version of Han, and a totally new actor filling those boots. Seems pretty iffy to say the least, but it turns out to be a decent movie after all, with some excitement and humor, familiar furry faces (Chewie, of course! Not the effin' ewoks!) and just a slight touch of the Force. Director Ron Howard did a great job with it, and I bet the making of this movie brought everyone involved some Happy Days. Play this podcast and today can be one for you!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED JULY 28, 2021 We conclude our first phase of the Star Wars franchise with a movie that everybody thought they wanted, but nobody really did. That being said, what we got is so much better than what Jer remembers!
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Well, two things were bound to happen eventually. One, we were bound to talk about a topic for a third time eventually. Some of us thought it would be Moving that would get a round three first, but nope, it was Solo. And two, Michael DeLaney was bound to be on the show for the 10th time eventually. And THIS is that episode folks. This is the inaugural episode marking the HSWII 10 Timers Club. Who could have ever guessed we would make it this far. Anyway, the ep is great and bonus length and we really dig into the State of the Star Wars. We also play a Michael DeLaney classic, Are you for Lando CalREALssian?? Enjoy!

Join the website here! http://www.thekristianharloff.com Solo A Star Wars story might have been the franchises biggest bomb HOWEVER Donald Glover as Lando was a highlight for many. Many were excited when it was announced that a series was coming with Childish Gambino himself. However now the reports are that the show is now a movie. Good idea? Bad idea? One Piece is an extremely popular show, it has been picked up for season 2! Aquaman 2 trailer hit and the audience reaction is mixed. James Wan discussed the plans moving forward and the scrapped spinoff film. Taylor Swift's convert movie is continuing to crush in pre-sales. Kristian Harloff and Brett Sheridan discuss these topics on todays Big thing! #starwars #lando #donaldglover #taylorswift #movies #aquaman #onepiece
Here we are. Our final diversion before we finally arrive at Rebels. And what a diversion it is. A couple of really good heists. A couple of great performances. Solid props and sets. An incredibly paced, 60 minute film. I'm sorry. Huh? You're telling me... you're saying that's not even half the movie? It what? It botches a droid liberation arc? They do what with the droid freedom fighter's still living mind? Who shows up???? Oh, right. That one we knew already.
