This week, Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally arrived in theatres, and achieved world domination more or less instantly. We have been covering the movie since its announcement back in 2012, and now that it’s finally here, what did we think? I gave my spoiler-free thoughts in my written review, and suffice it to say, I’m all in. I love it. As for Sean…well, he didn’t like it as much – which certainly makes for an interesting and varied discussion, as whether one loves it or not, The Force Awakens offers plenty of things to talk about. We do just that, diving deep into all of the most interesting aspects of the movie – spoilers ahoy, obviously – and wrap up our fourth season in podcasting with some thoughts back on what kind of year 2015 has been.
