1 hr 12 min - Bogans Advocate #9 | The Rise of Skywalker | Defending the Indefensible?
Join the crew of the Star Wars Escape Pod as they reach an epic conclusion of the "Bogan’s Advocate" series. In this final installment covering the Skywalker Saga, the hosts and special guest Dr. Steve Ellerhoff take on the challenge of debating the franchise's most divisive entry: The Rise of Skywalker.
Following the unique "Bogan's Advocate" format, the participants must argue against their own personal opinions. For those who disliked the film’s creative choices—such as the controversial return of Emperor Palpatine—the mission is to find the light side and celebrate the movie's strengths. Conversely, those who enjoyed the film must dig deep to find its flaws...

1 hr 11 min - Bogans Advocate #8 | The Last Jedi | Defending the Sequel Trilogy’s Boldest Risks?
Prepare for a chat about the most polarizing chapter of the sequel trilogy with the Star Wars Escape Pod’s "Bogan’s Advocate" session for The Last Jedi. In this episode, the crew tackles the subversion of expectations head-on, from the startling introduction of a disillusioned Luke Skywalker to the "no-twist" revelation of Rey’s parentage. While the crew marvels at the film's top-tier cinematography and striking use of red in the Snoke's throne room duel, they don't hold back on the pacing issues of some Canto Bight events or the introduction of new Force powers. It’s a balanced, high-energy discussion that explores whether Rian Johnson’s creative risks paid off or pushed the franchise too far off the predictable path. Don't forget about the ending of our podcast as we close out with the wacky wildest chapter of Anakins lost diary we've ever seen!

1 hr 24 min - Bogans Advocate #7 | The Force Awakens | Masterpiece or Nostalgia Trip?
Step into the Star Wars Escape Pod for a spirited, "Bogan’s Advocate" debate where fans take on the ultimate challenge: defending the parts of the Skywalker Saga they actually dislike. In this episode, the crew dives into The Force Awakens, grappling with whether it’s a brilliant, beautiful continuation of the franchise or a nostalgic "reboot" that plays it too safe. From praising Adam Driver’s intense performance as Ben Solo to critiquing the lightning-fast character shifts of Finn, no stone in the Jakku desert is left unturned... If there was any stones to begin with. It’s a hilarious and insightful mix of high-praise cinematography talk and honest fan frustration, perfect for anyone who has ever felt "empty inside" after a premiere—or just really loves a good Millennium Falcon skid. Don't forget to wait to the end for our next chapter of Anakins lost diary!

1 hr 4 min - The Acolyte Revisited | Was It Actually Genius?
In this episode of the Star Wars Escape Pod, Josh is joined by co-host Blake and friends Dan and Matt to revisit and re-evaluate the Disney+ series, The Acolyte. A year after the show's initial release, the crew provides fresh perspectives by reviewing the season through both release and chronological viewing orders.

The team also explores the show’s controversial lore implications, including the appearance of Darth Plagueis, the origins of the Knights of Ren, and Vernestra Rwoh’s cover-up of the Jedi murders. Whether you're a fan of the High Republic era or a skeptic of the series' creative choices, tune in for a comprehensive breakdown of what worked, what failed, the missed opportunities of The Acolyte, and most importantly... was there underlying actually genius?Check out the Star Wars Archives link in our description for a database of all 400+ episodes!

We debate the surprising (and hilarious) possibility of this Hollywood titan joining the Star Wars universe.Bogan's Advocate: The Empire Strikes Back: It’s time to tap into the Dark Side. We take on the impossible task of finding "nitpicks" in what many consider the greatest Star Wars film ever made.

That Infamous Kiss: Our crew weighs in on the Luke and Leia moment that aged... interestingly.
The Masterpiece: We celebrate the stop-motion magic of Phil Tippett and the timeless score that defines the saga.
