Sith Happens (and So Do Mission Briefings)

This week, Mike takes us back to 2005 and his brush with cinematic destiny during the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Hear the harrowing (and possibly heroic?) tale of when George Lucas’s team sent technicians to test a screening at our very own theatre — and how Mike insists he saved the day. The Force may or may not have been with him.

Then, he’s back on the IMF train with Mission: Impossible III in his continuing segment “Now I Know Why You Want to Hate Me.” From Philip Seymour Hoffman’s chilling villainy to J.J. Abrams’ high-stakes direction, Mike deconstructs every twist and tech-gadget in his countdown to Mission: Impossible – May 23rd.

Tune in, nerd out, and may your popcorn be always perfectly popped.
