There's only one Return, and it ain't of Team Edward, it's of the Jedi. Seriously though, Return is the best Star Wars film.

Clerks 2>all other films that are part of this discussion :)

Yeah, probably. Haven't seen Twilights yet though, and Return might be slightly better.

Why is worse?    I don't agree with his opinions - for the most part.  I think  he actually makes some valid points regarding film criticism and film fandom.  I think the reason I dislike him is the air of smug superiority he has among those who do not meet his standards.  But it was  a great episode because they had someone whose opinions were contrarian and divisive. It's pretty easy to have someone like  say Kevin Smith on the podcast - no one is going to get into too heated debate and the hosts and their listeners are obviously fans; put someone that is an magnet for controversy and who many of the film geek community hate, treat him with respect,  let him voice his opinions and argue them, that's harder.  And they pulled it off.

New Moon edges Empire (which is my least favorite of the three anyway)

I have seen New Moon and I have seen Empire and I think you are crazy.

Just wait for the Twilight prequels. >:(

I think the reason I dislike him is the air of smug superiority he has among everyone.

Listening to him is painful, his ego is enormous and he has no respect for anyone, not even the people who's show he's on. The hosts on the other hand were trying too hard to be polite.

I agree, bb6634. It was interesting to hear White talk; like it or not, he's a film critic that we who love film will encounter, and I thought it was cool that the /Film guys were willing to try to engage with him and listen to him and that they treated him with respect even when he treated them condescendingly. They asked great questions and were incredibly professional.

No way, I only listen to that podcast when Armond is on.

Listening to it now. Armond just implied that liking 6 out of 8 films in a given week makes him a shill.
