    Heroism in 300

    Heroism in 300

    Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode the guys (Zach and Cody) talk about the film 300. This testosterone filled film of men willing to sacrifice everything in order to protect their land and way of life is one that the guys really enjoyed when it first came out. But does the highly choreographed action and rather over the top perspective on heroism stand the test of time?

    The Sandlot and a Short Discussion on Sadnerson

    The Sandlot and a Short Discussion on Sadnerson

    Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach discuss a classic tale of summer, The Sandlot. This is a movie that is a staple to many a childhood of the millennial generation. The Sandlot came out at a time where baseball was beginning to get to its highest point of popularity while also highlighting the summer shenanigans that so many kids get themselves into. Does the Sandlot pass the test of time though? As we have gotten older is this still a movie that we could sit down and watch anytime? As the guys discuss in the show, they do not have nearly as much nostalgia for this movie as many people who grew up with it will have. However, there are a lot of things within this movie that the guys still find really enjoyable. 

    Stick around all the way to the end to hear the guys thoughts on a possible Brandon Sanderson on screen adaptation that sounds like it is in the works.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi Review | Deserved to be Better

    Obi-Wan Kenobi Review | Deserved to be Better

    Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach give their in-depth review on the new Disney’s latest adventure in the Star Wars saga, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Does this show put Star Wars back in a place that it deserves to be in? Or is this yet another squandered opportunity from the new era of Lucasfilm? There are elements in the show that are both worthy of praise, but there are matters that also deserve to be highly scrutinized. With the importance of legacy characters in the Star Wars universe, the guys had hoped that Obi-Wan’s adventure would turn out more interesting and entertaining than the one that we most recently went on with Boba Fett. While there are definitely some highs in the show’s 6 episode run, there are just a ton of issues with the story, causing it to struggle in attaining a spot in the upper echelon of Star Wars films.

    Revenge of the Sith Retrospective

    Revenge of the Sith Retrospective

    Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach talk about the one rather good film of George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels: Revenge of the Sith. The Star Wars prequel films are most definitely a mixed bag amongst fans of the franchise. With a little bit of time though, it seems like these have aged much better with fans than the initial reception of their release in the early 2000s. While Revenge of the Sith is the highlight of the film trilogy, it still does not reach the same heights that were attained in the original run of Star Wars films. It is a film that gets rather bogged down by poor dialogue and direction, which lives in a rather compelling narrative. Anakin’s turn to the dark side plays out in very traditional fashion, following many of the tried and true methods of the tragic hero, and giving audiences a rather satisfying bridge to the Darth Vader that many grew up with. But how do the guys feel about this film many years after its release? With so many movies in the Star Wars universe at this point, how does it compare to the rest?
