It's been more than a decade since Disney took over the world's favorite space opera. Having already cast our gaze at the PREQUEL trilogies Holden and Jake have decided to force themselves to watch the highs, lows, and frustratingly debatable middles of a movie series that made people yearn for the days of pod racing. Were longtime fans betrayed? Do we owe George Lucas an apology? Can anybody agree about anything involving "The Last Jedi"? Find out, dear listener, and get weirdly emotionally invested along the way!

The tragedy that was 9/11 changed everything so much that it’s hard to remember what things were like right before. Thankfully Jake is here to remind us of the movies, music, tv, and games that were huge the week before and how it seems like we could never go back to that specific time when Crazytown and American Pie 2 were all the rage. We’ll never forget 9/11 but we’ve certainly forgotten some of the things that immediately became anachronistic and just how things changed right after.

Joss Whedon was a nerd God with quirky quips, inspiring world building, and positive portrayals of female characters. But unfortunately that’s just half the story: An icon on the streets, a Dr. Horrible in the sheets. Recurring issues of abuse and control on set and off popped up and it all culminated with a downfall that in hindsight feels expected and karmic. Buffy fan and Page 7 cohost Jackie Zebrowski joins us to go through all of it and analyze a creator who will be outlived by both his creations and actions.
