  • I like how much happier they are reviewing the old canon than they were reviewing the new one.

    I enjoy the show but I don’t think the apology regarding the hiring of large bumbo was sincere

    As a fan of the “New Canon” podcast, I was sad to see it go. When Alex, Jesse, and Davis started the “Old Canon” podcast I was really happy to see them come back. Fun, fascinating, and entertaining to listen to as a Star Wars fan. I love it when they go on tangents or start riffing off of each other like when they had that bit about “caf” and coffee. Funny stuff! Keep up the amazing work guys!
