One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)
One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
#006: Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace
For our sixth episode, it's the acclaimed 1999 film "Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace" as told by George Lucas and the film's crew! Did I say acclaimed? I meant the other thing.
Do Lucas's movies work as silent films? Why is almost every single performance performed through ADR? Is racial stereotyping okay if those stereotypes are aliens? Does pod racing make any sense if you're not from Tatooine?
For the answers to these questions and more, press play now!
Ryan's Recommendations: "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" (1972), "Monsters University" (2013), and "Furious 6" (2013)
