Reading Between the Reels: Film analysis with snark and heart

Raiders of the Lost Ark is what happens when archaeology, Nazi-hunting, supernatural artifacts, and spectacularly poor decision-making collide.

In this year’s fifth installment of Star Wars 101, Jeff McGee joins my English classes for a conversation about the stories, themes, and ideas that have made Star Wars one of the most beloved franchises in pop culture. Along the way, we'll explore storytelling, character development, and why sometimes the greatest lessons come from a galaxy far, far away. Because if there's one thing Star Wars has taught us, it's that poor planning has consequences—especially when you're building moon-sized battle stations. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

In this year’s fourth installment of Star Wars 101, David Jesse joins my English classes to explore family relationships in Star Wars. From fathers and sons to siblings, mentors, found families, and generational legacy, we examine how the saga uses family to drive conflict, redemption, and hope. Because every family has drama.
