There are fan films, and then there's a whole separate genre called 'Star Wars Fan Films'.  Lisa, a self-avowed Star Wars fan girl, chose today's film, Troops, filmed all the way back in 1997. Watch it here. Listen to the podcast review here... And here are our ratings of the film.  See if they line up with yours. Lisa on Troops... her tweet... Bad Boys- Bad Boys- What you gonna do when some Imperial Storm Troopers come for you? Run if you want, they always get their man. Story          Acting        Production  Costuming   Heart           Overall       Chris on Troops his tweet... a storm trooper hitting his man on the first shot?  With any shot?  I don't think so.  Still, a great mashup before the mashup became hip. Story      ...

 Recently we watched the documentary 'The People vs. George Lucas' which was pretty darned entertaining whether you are a Star Wars freak or just a casual fan... or even if you never heard of George Lucas.  I'm pretty casual in my fandom of Star Wars... more of a Star Trek guy... something we will have to discuss in a future podcast, with Lisa being firmly in the Star Wars camp.  Regardless here are our respective reviews of the documentary.

On Fridays, me an my colleague Lisa congregate early in the morning at our place of business to discuss the current days coming events, along with some gourmet Kuerig coffee and custom creamer, funds for the coffee and the creamer which we have paid for ourselves.  On this particular Friday morning, our creamer was stolen.  Not just one of the half used gourmet coffee creamers we had purchased, but both of them.  This a tragedy in the workplace unlike any I have ever seen... that don't include mass shootings.  What kind of person does this kind of thing?  How black is one's soul that they feel the need to rip away what little joy one gets out of going to work every single day? The following podcast, which normally would have been used to discuss the next episode of a WOOFF Fan Film, is instead one that features two people trying to sort out what kind of terrible world that we live in where these kinds of things happen, without regards to the victims.
