David, Devindra, and Jeff discuss all the discussion around Star Wars: The Force Awakens that’s happened over the past week, praise a great Shakespeare adaptation (not Macbeth), and discuss the cultural damage of Love Actually. Be sure to read up on why Force Awakens is the least interesting Star Wars, why Force Awakens is a deeply broken film, and some crazy Star Wars: Episode VIII theories.
