“Droid, please.”

The Film Board gathers! This month the gang of thugs takes on the seventh film in The Star Wars Saga, this from reboot master, J.J. Abrams. Does he bring his magic rebootinator to set every day to apply just the right dose of mystery and lens flare? Is he able to get performances from Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac to best our Star Wars expectations? Can Tommy remember what the bad-guy-ships are called?
Join Steve Sarmento, Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, Tommy Metz, Andy Nelson, and Pete Wright for a discussion of all things Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, from Dan Mindel’s camera to John Williams’ orchestra to Daniel Craig as Stormtrooper JB-007, we have a blaster talking about this spiritual journey through our childhood. See the movie first, as spoilers abound, then join us!
