Let's Talk About Stuff!

Welcome to the new year and the new show! Just kidding, it’s still the same trash you know and love. Today we discuss our Pop Culture Firsts for the New Decade with movies, tv shows, songs, podcasts, comic books, and video games! We also have a quick conversation about the Wonder Woman 1984 trailer and whether it’ll live up to the, uh… amazing first one. Then Steven tries his best to give his interpretation of the whole Star Wars saga in the wake of the The Rise of Skywalker’s new revelations to the story. It’s a winding soap opera of two families fighting over the fate of the whole galaxy and one boy caught in the middle of a divided fandom trying to explain just how perfectly JJ brought this home. ***SPOILERS for THE RISE OF SKYWALKER start at 1:39:08*** Email: LetsTalkAboutStuffPodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter & Instagram: @LTASpod Follow Steven on Twitter & Letterboxd: @stevenfisher22 Follow Brent on Twitter & Instagram: @BrentHibbard Please rate & review us!

The lame speak! Just when you thought you had heard all the reviews your bleeding ears could handle… one podcast was brave enough to bring you a nearly 3 hour episode!
