Claire is still on maternity leave, but we couldn't let this holiday pass us by, so we've compiled all three of our episodes on The Original Trilogy into one episode. If you haven't heard all* our Star Wars content, or if you want to revisit it, here they are all in one place!

Enjoy, and May the Fourth Be With You!

*We couldn't bring ourselves to include the Holiday Special, but you can check that out here.

This will be our last episode for a little bit, as Claire prepares to deliver Baby Fisher! Please enjoy our back catalogue.

"Loverboy" sounds like it should be a porno: a pizza delivery boy starts a side hustle as a prostitute. Yet this cheesy setup has a surprising amount of heart...and a Baby McDreamy!

This 1989 classic film is one that neither of us had ever come across, but found to be quite relevant with its themes of xenophobia, suburbia, and paranoia.

Carrie is a voice of reason, who [Spoiler] turns out to be wrong. Paranoia for the win!

At last! A movie with a beginning, middle, and end. Tension! Stakes! An actual mystery! And only about 20 minutes of excessive plot and/or racism!

Also, Carrie is a very believable murder suspect.

"The Time Guardian" is an unholy alliance between The Terminator, Mad Max, Star Wars, and a healthy dose of Bladerunner. It doesn't work as a movie, metaphor, or story. But it has its moments, and (spoiler for a 38-year-old movie) Carrie at least gets a heroic--if stupid--death.

Like a bad case of "the social disease," we're BAAAAACK.

Just when you though Hollywood couldn't underuse Carrie any more, she pops up post-credits in a strange PSA about (ostensibly) safe sex. Join us for a fever dream of a late-night channel surf with "Amazon: Women on the Moon."

We finally made it to Carrie's first book! It's a book light on plot but full of beautiful characters, dark humor, and a whole lotta heart.

Ostensibly about the Statue of Liberty contrasted with an immigration story, "Liberty" manages to leave out the most interesting parts of both. And yet, Katie found it charming. Claire was significantly less enthusiastic. And Carrie is, as is too-often the case, mostly absent.
