Music, Movies, And More

I recorded this podcast right after watching the Star Wars Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker trailer. Erin watched it about a week later and our reactions were a bit different. I have seen the Star Wars movies about a billion times and have read a bunch of the books. Erin has seen Episodes I, Rouge One, and IV-VIII once but has heard me talk about Star Wars for years. Show notes: Mike’s take: -The visuals -The flip -My concern -The title -What made The Last Jedi great -What Rise of Skywalker might be -What made The Force Awakens so good -The prequels -“Podrace” not podcast -What was good and bad about the prequels -What would have made me disappointed about The Last Jedi -More concerns about Rise of Skywalker -Palpatine -My expectations -What I want and what I don’t want -Metallica -Billy Dee Williams -My friend spoiled the trailer -The title -Luke -An outline? -Marvel and predictability -After Episode IX. By “a while”, I mean 2022 since the story broke after I recorded this podcast -Ri
