Actually, I had the same vague idea that Han at some point was at the academy, and I am enritely unsure where did I get it? Must have been novels. I did not read too many of them, though, and it was a long time ago

WHat's not to love! I absolutely dig it and I am well on the way to knowing it all by heart soon.
Some people in comments call him idiot or nerd - I honesly cannot see how you cannot see that all the crudeness is completely deliberate and this guy must be a serious scholar of filmmaking at heart. This is just his way of telling the story. - exactly as you put it "serious film nerd with a bone to pick"

I do not know which is my favourite one. Hart to tell. I do not think it is Nemezis, but not because redlettermedia does lesser job on this one, in fact, it is the opposite, but because it is so sad - for me. I honestly liked the characters of TNG and when he says at the end that producers did not really care for the characters and "this Star Trek shit gets too violent for me" - this is so very true.
What sparked most laughs for me was Insurection. Maybe because the film itself really does catch some of the magic of the series and has SOME semblance of romance in it (Star Trek - HISERECTION - gee, I almost literally rolled on the floor), and I am a sucker for a good romance.
But for me the best "value for money" ("Brevity is the soul of wit") was short Avatar review. Goodness, this was genius how he reveales all the tricks that Cameron uses to "pull at the audeince heartstring":
"Make the Audience hate the villains in whatever way you can, no mater how cheap."
And so on, and so on. I just love it!

"Without sayin one word of awkward, political dialogue which goes on for ten minutes, we need everything we need to know just by the visuals. Rebels, emipre. We get a sense how small and ill equipped the rebels are and how large and powerfult he epire is. The low angle implies dominance, and the length of the star destroyer implies the long reach of the empire. Everything we need to know without saying one word. In fact, this is so genius I have a feeling that Gorge Lucas had nothing to do with it and probably fought against putting it in the movie"
