An All FORCE AWAKENS Episode

The Fighting In The War Room podcast family acknowledges that Star Wars Mania is here to stay now that Disney-purchased Lucasfilm plans to spin the saga and anthology movies out into the foreseeable future. It's time to fight in the galactic war room.

In the third Star Wars Special, Katey Rich, Joanna Robinson, Neil Miller and Da7e question Matt Patches about his attempt to avoid all information about Star Wars: The Force Awakens not only in 2015, but for the three years since we knew it was coming. READ HIS ARTICLE ABOUT IT HERE. What was still a surprise? What was unavoidable and what wasn't as fun as it should be?

Then, the conversation devolves into everyone asking specific  questions about The Force Awakens with each other. You know, the thing you and your friends have been doing since you saw the movie anyway.

A Note on SPOILERS: This podcast ASSUMES you have seen The Force Awakens.

Fighting in the Star Wars Room

This week, David, Patches, Da7e and Katey have all seen J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You probably have too! If you have, you want to talk about it. If you haven't, prepare to pause this episode or delve into spoilers.
 
Yes, spoilers. The first 29 minutes and 42 seconds of this podcast are SPOILER FREE.
Then there is a lightsaber and the spoilers come fast and hard with more than usual amount of tangental cross-talk (it was hard only talking to a handful of people about this movie)

STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 2: Revenge of the New Hopes

Plus The Force Awakens speculations

The Fighting In The War Room podcast family acknowledges that Star Wars Mania is here to stay now that Disney-purchased Lucasfilm plans to spin the saga and anthology movies out into the foreseeable future. It's time to fight in the galactic war room.

In the second Star Wars Special, Matt Patches (who has managed to avoid all information about the Force Awakens except that the Millennium Falcon is in it) and Joanna Robinson engage with Da7e on what level of Star Wars minutiae is a step too far. Trivia? Expanded Universe? Then, Katey Rich and Joanna entertain Da7e's R2-D2 theory as a way of talking about how to improve the prequels.

Then – This is the LAST PODCAST RECORDED before everyone sees The Force Awakens! – it's finally time for The Storm of Spoilers crew to apply their Game of Thrones Citadel of Crazytown to Episode VII. No one has actually seen the movie, but everyone has questions. Then, the hosts brainstorm possible titles for Episode VIII.

A Note on SPOILERS: On a scale from Mister Patches (knowing nothing) to Storm of Spoilers (spoiling everything), this episode's final segment TOTAL SPOILAGE POSSIBLE. There will be a GONG SOUND 1 hour and 27 minutes in in to warn you when that the speculation is about to happen.

Review – The Big Short

The-Big-Short

The financial sky is falling

This week, David, Patches, and Katey bet against the banks, make a billion dollars, then quit the podcasting business. Just kidding. They made a billion dollars and decided to review The Big Short. They also pick answers to a lightning round question about celebrity cameos.
