In this episode the guys share their thoughts on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, tackling some deep philosophical questions. What’s the best kind of lightsaber fight? Are wookies mammals? Does JJ Abrams know how space works? Where are all the A-Wings?
After that, George, Nathan, and Peter talk about the Martian, and the many rescues and non-rescues of Matt Damon. Super-hero / noir series Jessica Jones gets a lot of love, and George gets up on his soapbox, which it turns out is full of comic books.
Meanwhile, Peter’s been playing The Witness, and reading Lev Grossman’s Magician series, which Nathan agrees is pretty great.
George invents a new segment of drive-by-pop-culture-ry, and some good times are spent with The Library at Mount Char, Grimes, and assorted boardgames. Nathan fiends for the Black Blood of the Earth, and George shares his (terrifying) historical reading list, featuring Colt 6000 and Command & Control.
