    #131 - A funeral for Star Wars

    Chris and Jamie are joined by friend of the show, Neil Cassells to bid farewell to beloved franchise, Star Wars. Killed by Disney. We share our earliest memories, acknowledge some of the incredible fan made content, ask the question ‘Did Disney get anything right?’, and laugh at many memes, in this episode dedicated to the memory of George Lucas’ creation.
