21 - I, Jedi (Part 2)
<p>In discussing the back half of I, Jedi (1998), Lou and Lenny uncover the similarities between social media algorithms and the dark side of the force. The duo then continue to raise questions about Corran Horn’s character, particularly in relation to his views on women. If this sounds concerningly on-topic for these two, fear not! The episode begins with a discussion of how movies from the 1960s can, in fact, be good as well as a look at how some MLB and NHL players have names that make them sound like they are from the galaxy, far, far away. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hosts: Lenny Apesos and Lou Laverty</p><p>Art: Lenny Apesos </p><p>Music: Thomas Seibel</p><p><br /></p><p>Have questions, comments, or concerns?

18 - Isard's Revenge
<p>Lenny and Lou are back in the trenches with Isard’s Revenge (1999) by Michael A. Stackpole. Before they talk much about the Galaxy Far Far Away’s leadership crisis, however, the two get sidetracked by a discussion of Montréal mayoral politics and the cost of groceries. Bringing it back to slightly more relevant matters, Lou and Lenny marvel at the New Republic’s hawkish neoliberalism and ponder how to make NATO funnier. </p><p><br></p><p>Hosts: Lenny Apesos and Lou Laverty</p><p>Art: Lenny Apesos </p><p>Music: Thomas Seibel</p><p><br></p><p>Have questions, comments, or concerns?
