The National Film Registry has been declaring 25 films a year as treasures since 1989, and in the past has given shout-outs to such movies as Alien, Star Wars and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. And this year, a sci-fi AND a horror classic got added to the list.
Both The Empire Strikes Back and The Exorcist are now officially considered “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant and must be be preserved for all time—but all of us here already knew that, didn’t we?
This week the ESO podcast marks it’s 20th Episode with reviews of ‘Blink’ the Steven Moffat penned episode of Doctor Who featuring the 10th Doctor. Then we help celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, by chatting about the film as only the ESO crew can.
News stories covered this week: Spiderman on Broadway, The New Mad Max, A New Quantum Leap movie and Torchwood Series 4.
Join Mike, Dan, Judy, Mike G and John for all the fun and goofiness that goes along with ESO Podcast Episode 20: William, I Am Your Father!

What a fun way to celebrate Star Wars Day, become your favorite characters, and join in the fight against the Empire.
Kind of agree with most on this list, I think Empire should be number one, with Dark Knight a decent second. Thoughts?
