After 150 episodes, we make it to a galaxy far, far away as we discuss the first (fourth?) chapter in the space opera that is George Lucas’ Star Wars. We look specifically at Episode 4 –A New Hope. The discussion gets heated as we discuss the movie on its own merits and try to remove the cultural and nostalgiac goggles for the franchise. We talk auteurism, fan culture, personhood, and Hollywood this week. We then discuss our favorite fictional universes before a discussion of what has us fired up in pop culture. And finally, Alex reveals her host pick for next week; what is it, you ask? Well, tune in to find out. Oh by the way, do you think he means old Ben Kenobi?
