It's been a couple weeks since the release of Episode 8: The Last Jedi. It is obvious that this is one of the most divisible movies in the franchise. Why the love? Why the hate?
St3ve (from the Outer Rim Garrison of the 501st) joins us again to share his views on The Last Jedi and why Star Wars fans may be feeling the way they do?
Check out our website for the full vids of the sampled reviews.
Rob is bridging the generation gap by inviting his brother, Steve Williams and Dad, Jim Williams to talk about a holiday staple: A Christmas Story.
We not only look back at the wonderful moments of this classic 1983 Christmas movie, Dad shares his experiences living during this time when the Olds would freeze up, furnaces would backfire, dogs would chase you down the street and the only way to settle a issue was a good ol' fashion beating.
Rob also opens his Commonwealth Secret Santa gift!
We hope you enjoy this special episode.
