Gen X Guide To The Universe

With six films under his belt, Jameson enthusiastically takes on The Force Awakens. Hang out with Heather and Jameson as they break down the seventh episode in the Star Wars universe. BB8 is a droid upgrade without knees, Walmart Vader is a pale comparison of his grandpa, and everyone agrees: Rey is awesome. Friend of the podcast Abby stops by with her Desert Island Top Five.

And that’s a wrap on the Star Wars prequels, this week Heather and Jameson discuss episode three, Revenge of the Sith. They agree that General Grievous needs a trip to urgent care for that cough, Anakins a pretty big jerk, R2D2 continues to hero, and there was no reason to slay those sweet baby Jedis. And before you shop for Jameson’s birthday, remember: no capes.

Celebrate Star Wars Day with Jameson and Heather! With Tatooine Sunsets and Cantina Margaritas in hand, Heather tests Jameson’s knowledge of the original trilogy with some trivia questions. Superfans and friends of the podcast Julie and Hallie join in on the fun to dish on our shared love of cantina music, Obi Wan, robot sass, and of course, Leia’s bikini. May the 4th be with you!

Spend some quality time with Heather and Jameson as they break down episode II, Attack of the Clones. Heather gushes over Obi Wan’s incredible hair and beard, Jameson wonders why 80s sensation WHAM! is out to get Padme, and they both agree that the women and droids are the goddamn heroes of the Star Wars canon. We’re left wondering when C3P0 will get new knees and of course, when Heather and Jameson will finally become podcast famous. 

Gen X are resilient survivors, latchkey kids fending off stranger-danger attacks or remnants of the Cold War. Barely supervised and largely unnurtured, Heather and Jameson explain how the feral nature of their generation allows them to shine and thrive during the COVID19 pandemic. Grab your Cabbage Patch Kids, make sure your Reese’s PB Cups are razor-free, turn off the A-Team reruns, and tune in.

Ah, the Phantom Menace. Heather and Jameson struggle through this first episode of the Star Wars universe, agreeing that Anakin is a victim of horrible parenting from his mom and Liam Neeson, Padmé is a tragic fashion victim, but pod racing is the coolest.

All is forgiven and Jameson is a true fan after completing the original Star Wars trilogy. Heather and Jameson discuss Return of the Jedi, wondering when C3PO is getting that knee replacement. Heather explains that Yoda is not a bodega cat while Jameson reminds us, constantly, of his newfound love for that metal bikini.

Everyone loves Empire, but not necessarily Jameson. Listen in as Jameson and Heather explore the beloved second installment of the Star Wars cannon, The Empire Strikes Back. Hopefully Jameson will forgive Leia, in time. 

Jameson and Heather dive headfirst into the Star Wars universe with A New Hope. Jameson is very happy to learn Skywalker is not code for tightrope walker. And happily uncovers that there are no bras in space. 

Welcome to Gen X Guide to the Universe! Get to know Heather and Jameson in this pilot episode as they introduce us to their podcast and begin to explore the wonderful world of Star Wars.
