Star Wars: Metallica Strikes Back!
Huge news this week within the world of Star Wars!! At Star Wars Celebration 2023, not only was a trailer revealed for a new Ahsoka series but three new movies were announced, all set in different eras of the Star Wars timeline. From directors Dave Filoni, James Mangold, and Charmeen Obaid-Chinoy, these movies will all have opening crawls and will be released in 2025, 2027 and 2029. Jack and Artie get into their thoughts on each of the announced films in addition to the Ahsoka trailer and their opinions on the live action portrayals of all the Rebels characters. Moving over to the rock music world, pioneering Thrash Metal band Metallica has released their 11th studio album, 72 Seasons. Going closer to their more traditional, '80s thrash roots, this album features 12 new songs that all have something new to offer to Metallica's discography. Jack and Artie are here to talk about all the ups and downs to the new album and how it compares to Metallica's earlier works. Is it a good metal album by modern standards? Do James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet still have it in them to make excellent songs, or is it just another St. Anger or Reload? Listen to hear what we think!
