The Bad Motivators: A Malfunctioning Star Wars PodcastBonus EP: TRoS CommentaryWhat could be better during social distancing then to listen to 3 idiots talk about a Star Wars movie, while said movie plays in the background? Nothing! Which is why we recruited King Tom to help us commentate The Rise of Skywalker. You can watch it with the movie or just listen along because we have the movie audio in the background.

Stay safe everyone.
