(Kirsty is taking a break of a few weeks from the podcast, and in her absence Rachael will be joined by a series of special guests - in this episode, Rachael is joined by friend-of-the-show Courtney, of Who Talks First fame!)

In this episode, Rachael and Courtney discuss the following news:

- The pure unfiltered awesome that was the D23 experience of 'The Rise of Skywalker' (Courtney was there, and shares her 'on the ground' perspective!)

- The Mandalorian is reported to dig into the origins of the First Order

- Marvel's Age of Resistance: Supreme Leader Snoke gets a preview

- Marvel's Age of Resistance: General Hux gets a review!

Courtney and Rachael then round off the show with a discussion of Zoraida Córdova's 'Crash of Fate' - they were mixed on the book, but the discussion gives them a great opportunity to let Courtney share some cool anecdotes from her time in the park!

Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.
