First and foremost, an apology regarding this episode. If you are listening to this episode, it probably means you first had to watch The Rise of Skywalker. Sorry about that.

(Un)surprisingly, even though everyone on the podcast disliked this movie, there are still disagreements galore. We cover plot holes, logical absurdities, and characterization failures. Then, we move on to the negatives.

The Film Studies, Ethics, and Philosophy of the Reel are here, proving that you can think critically about movies no matter how asinine the film is.

Additionally, we'd like to apologize for the audio of this episode. We welcomed Martin Harris back, but between the last time we had Martin on and this time, our district tech department decided to block the website we used to record last time. We lost most of what we recorded last week, so we recorded this week. Consequently, this episode is a hodgepodge of audio we were able to capture from our various attempts to use Zoom and Apple screen capture, as well as our usual software, resulting in dramatic swings in audio quality.

We did the best we could.
