Customer Reviews
Love this show!
The mix of Star Wars and politics is fantastic! I love having different viewpoints, as not everyone has had the same lived experiences.
My Kind of Politics!
Politics are an essential part of everyone’s lives, but they’re rarely fun and not always the easiest thing to digest. This show has combined a necessary part of my life with a fandom that I adore, and for once in my life, I have politics that I can tune into. Thank you!!
Clever and Well Made
I co-hosted Andrés’ first podcast with him reviewing movies from the stand-point of story structure, and he always talked about making a show like this one. Could not be more proud of him and the work he’s put in to this project to make it real, and the results speak for themselves.
