In this episode Megan and Lesley go on a long ADHD laden journey discussing the personal and cultural significnace of Star Wars (1977) following the death of James Earl Jones on Sept. 9, 2024. They also play with their lightsabers. And Lesley makes her Force Face. Be sure to keep Megan away from the droids.

Oh yeah, and first they give you an update on the state of the Facebook group. Forgot that bit. If you wanna skip that start about 20 mins and 20 secs in. Did you have betamax or VHS? What about an 80s computer? Did you ever watch Hardware Wars? Inquiring minds want to know!
