21:45 The Phantom Menace Ebert episode begins

On this week’s Tuesday rewatch episode of 'Roger (Ebert) & Me,' join Brett Arnold and guest co-host and film critic Jesse Hassenger, as they see through the end of the Disney era.

This third iteration of the program was titled 'Siskel & Ebert & The Movies' and was later shortened to 'Siskel & Ebert,' the title that has stood the test of time.

This episode covers 'Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace' and that film alone. Gene Siskel passed away shortly before this episode and never got to see the film. The show was retooled after this season and the name changed again.
