HAPPY LIFE DAY! Today we are re-releasing a VERY SPECIAL holiday episode where we review, the one, the only, the difficult to find, and the confounding, Star Wars Holiday Special. Everything you didn't know could be included: VR P*rn, musicals, and an animated short! "One reviewer said this was written by 'a sentient bag of cocaine'...which makes sense."

Natacia takes the lead on this one, as resident Star Wars aficionado, alongside a panel of BIPOC Star Wars fans made up of returning guest Elaine (she/her), and newcomers to the pod: Kira (she/her), Travis/Akil (he/they), and Kendrick (he/him).

Our month of Creature Features brings us to the classic tale of ghosts….and incest? OH BOY. We really get into it with Crimson Peak. What we loved, what we think could have been done better, and just how creepy do we feel about seeing that handjob.

Let’s chat about it!

Natacia recommends: @karensnerdycreations on Tiktok sent me the sweetest angel wing art piece dedicated to my recently passed pup Lee - shout out to them and give them a follow.

Lindsay recommends: Bold & Gritty coffee here in Rochester, NY sells these instant coffee that are in tea bags, and I love them and will be bringing them with me on vacation. The longer you soak them the strong it gets and you can adjust that way to your taste, which is a bit nicer than just using instant coffee straight up. They do ship (I ordered the coffee bags online for convenience). Follow them on instagram: @bold_gritty 

Nothing like an episode to demonstrate just how to have opposing viewpoints on something and STILL have a delightful conversation about it. Listen to our episode on Werewolf by Night and hear how it’s done. Also lots of chat about fandoms and Lindsay has her weekly fangirl breakdown over BL stuff.

TIMELINE:  

56s Check in with Natacia: NYC updates and Comic Con, adult happy meals?, Drama Corner: Toxic positivity in fandoms (especially in our fandoms of Star Wars and BL dramas), the latest on Andor, Star Wars book talk, The Midnight Club on Netflix, and some House of Dragon updates.

52m 05s Check in with Lindsay: NYC, fangirling over BL drama stuff, World Cup and November content.

Co-host Natacia is bringing you another Star Wars-focused episode with returning guest and friend of the pod Shaley (from Episode 29: The Case for Padmé Amidala) to talk the Jedi, cults, the importance of words and how yes we should hold the Jedi accountable BUT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

They hope to change hearts and minds... but mostly encourage critical thinking!

Shaley (@Shaylo_Ren) recommends everyone read Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell (especially Americans) 

”Don’t go where I can’t follow!” And with that we have arrived at the end of our Lord of the Rings trilogy rewatch with the indefatigable and emotionally wrought Return of the King. At the top of the show we also talk Andor, The Woman King, more content for our Drama Corner, and lots of horror movie things. But make sure to listen till the end when Natacia shares their worst date ever, which just happened to be a movie date to Return of the King.

Natacia recommends: I feel like I’ve recommended them before but I don’t care: the Ruined Podcast with comedians Alison Leiby and Halle Kiefer. https://www.theradiopoint.com/ruined

Lindsay recommends: Shout out to another great podcast, I’ve really been getting into the podcast “She Hit Refresh”. It’s a podcast all about women who are over 30 and changing their lives for travel. The interviews are great, and it’s easy to hop around to different episodes, which is something I love in podcasts (hey, ours works that way too).  https://shehitrefresh.com/category/podcast/
