Last week the Oscar nominations were announced! There were surprises, snubs and favorites but what’s what? Luckily, I have friends who are smarter than me and have better taste! One such friend is Witney Siebold, former Geekscape writer and current movie critic for Crave Online… as well as co-host with William Bibbiani of the B-Movies Podcast! So after recording a sister episode of the B-Movies Podcast, we sat down to talk Oscars as well as Michael Douglas being cast as Hank Pym in ‘Ant-Man’, more Star Wars talk (as if there’s ever enough) and Geekscape’s very own ‘Doc of the Dead’ premiering at SXSW 2014!

On Tuesday the world received the shocking and unexpected news that Lucasfilm (including its subsidiaries) was sold to Disney for a whopping 4.4 billion in cash and stocks. You’ve probably heard this news time and time again, as every single website on the planet has been talking about it constantly for the last 48 hours.

 

Of course there’s been plenty of coverage on Geekscape too. Aside from the big news, Shawn gave us a few great choices for possible directors, while super fan Eric gave us some fantastic realizations of what we can expect to happen now that the franchise has moved to the house of mouse.

Turns out we were streets ahead on the topic. Nearly two years ago (January of 2011), our writer Witney wrote up some hypothetical reviews on the next three chapters in the Star Wars franchise. The years and titles may be wrong, and who knows how the movies will actually turn out, but in any case they’re definitely a fun read.
