  • Stay in your lane, boys

    I initially enjoyed the podcast. These guys could find a way to be positive about Star Wars, even when there were some not well received content. But now all Adam wants to do is be passive aggressive in regards to conservatives.

  • Drought ?

    No drought!

    Some spoiled little millennials, yes.

    If you experienced waiting 3 years between the original trilogy, then you see what I mean.

    From a certain point of view.

    Keep up the good work!

  • It was better before Mike the Mansplainer took over

    I understand the other 3 have successful music careers making it hard for them to consistently be on a weekly show. I would honestly rather them put out less shows with the trio as opposed to letting Mike’s ego feed everything and have him platforming fandom menace types from the maker community because they are “his buddies”

Carrie Fisher would be my choice as wingman.

Bloodline has an insanely huge moment in the Skywalker saga that would translate well on screen.
