Ep006 - Celebrating Star Wars Day! | May 04, 2025
Description
🤖 ⚔️ From Lightsabers to Cricket Fields: In this rich and wide-ranging episode, Olympia and Matt journey through galaxies far, far away and right back into our own backyards. Starting with the origins of fandom, they trace how shared stories like Star Wars forged communities, shaped pop culture, and created modern myths. From there, it’s a dive into cinematic technology, aesthetics, and the ethical crossroads we face as storytelling tools evolve.
But it’s not all sci-fi and starships. In classic Olympia-and-Matt fashion, the conversation shifts from space operas to sports arenas, unpacking how the discipline and drama of sports, especially cricket, build character and reflect deeper societal values.
Whether you’re a Jedi-in-training, film geek, or just love a thoughtful take on modern culture, this one’s for you. If you approve of Matt's Australian antics or the possible Halloween plans, comment either 🧸 or 🐣 ... May the force be with you 💫
