SPECIAL EPISODE: Kenobi Series and "Fan" Racism
Yub Nub
Welp. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' came out and so did the subsection of racists who purport to be Star Wars fans, flooding Moses Ingram's social media with poorly-spelled hate and flimsy excuses. So who better to talk about their racism and the pretend-tv-criticism they hide it behind than some Black TV writing Star Wars fans?

Yub Nub
It's time to dive in to the movie Francis Ford Coppola funded and George wrote almost half a decade before Star Wars: THX 1138. Robert Duvall! Obsolete cubes! Pushover robots! Special Edition type changes! (Note: This movie is wildly more 'mature' in content than most SW stuff, so the conversation naturally is as well! Dystopia, baybee!)
info_outlineGreg is gone (for SECRET REASONS!) so Tim and Jim dive into one of Tim's favorite parts of Star Wars: behind the scenes content! They watched and talk about the Behind the Scenes for The Rise of Skywalker.
Plus discussion of ROTJ, the music of The Mandalorian, and the origin of how the podcast was named!
