20 years ago, a ground-breaking sci-fi movie starring Keanu Reeves came out that changed cinema forever. That film was The Matrix. But that's not the film we're talking about today. That;s right, also celebrating its 20th anniversary is Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its UK release, on 16th July 1999, Jack and Alex freestyle the episode. No plan, no structure, no guest appearance from Nute Gunray. Just pure opinions of what they got right, and what they got terribly wrong. The Force is with the boys as they chat George Lucas' controversial, fan-splitting film.
