EPISODE #5. Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he welcomes this week's friends of the force: Sarah and Kayla from Sounds Fake But Okay (@soundsfakepod). We discuss Eleven Thirty Eight's article, "The Asexual Awakens — An Interpretation of the Journey to Adulthood" and Sarah incorporates her recent class presentation, "Sex Wars: Rise of the Space Ace." We talk about ships (there are good ships and woods ships, and ships that sail the sea, but the best ships, are Star Wars ships, and may they always be!) and coin the phrase "emotionally kiss me." We hope for continued representation in Star Wars, and we close the show with some mumbo jumbo and we learn about Kayla's fear of Tobey Maguire's chin.
