It's a strange thing to decide you want to do a podcast to talk about your love for Star Wars and then feel like you have to apologize for your opinions just because some people can't handle opinions other than their own. It certainly feels limiting, but then you realize that those people aren't the ones you want to talk to in your everyday life anyway. It doesn't make great business sense, but calling it like you see it and not worrying about what others think certainly brings joy back into what's supposed to be entertaining in the first place.
Host Steve Loscalzo gives his filtered reactions to Chapter Seven and the series. They are filtered because he started taking notes Wednesday morning then scrapped them because they were mostly negative. After a second watch Wednesday afternoon, a great church service Wednesday night, then another rewatch Thursday morning, a new set of notes started to form. The negatives don't go away in the face of the positives, but it sure is more enjoyable to listen to someone talk about the bad AND the good. At least Steve hopes as much.
Don't listen to this podcast if you haven't seen the episode. That SHOULD go without saying, but you never know who comes across a podcast in search of a spoiler free review. "This ain't that," as has been said colloquially.
There is one more day for the Cufflinks.com discount code that has graciously been extended to February 11th all the way from December 31st. That's more than 40 additional days thanks to a terrific partnership.
There is one more podcast to come on The Book of Boba Fett. It will come before our next news update. We'll have an Obi-wan Kenobi trailer discussion as soon as that comes out and then we wait for May 25th and the series debut on Disney Plus!
