Episode 53 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 1999's, Star Was: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. 

It was arguably the most anticipated movie of all time with expectations at an all time high after the release of one of the finest trailers in cinematic history. What was to come was, well, to say it was divisive would be an understatement. Jar Jar, Jake Lloyd, the taxation of trade routes. The movie was a bit of a mess, but then, it also had the pod race, Darth Maul and the finest lightsaber battle in the entire saga. 

With Liam and Rob disagreeing on, well, nearly everything here, this is arguably one of our more interesting revisits. 

Spoiler alert though - Jar Jar is still the worst.
