Customer Reviews
Very enjoyable
This podcast hits a great sweet spot for me, being both a lifetime Star Wars and Disney fan. I appreciate Dan’s positive take on things, and Jim’s historical and insider knowledge. This is one of my favorite running companions.
Talking about?
So now the phrase “talking about “ has made it into the beginning sentence of every show note? I give up.
Top Notch!
I'm a big Jim Hill fan since the Disney Dish podcast days. Here he's paired with Dan Z, who is a top notch star wars expert. Dan isn't just a random fan though, he teaches English and Mythology and uses Star Wars examples in his class. Since Star Wars is mythology (on top of being a great ripping yarn) is great to here his takes on things. Dan's been a proven Star Wars expert for many many years (it was fun finding his cameo in an old Star Wars Target commercial). Two hugely knowledgable pros who work well together; it's informative and it's fun. What's not to like?
