Show #105 - The People VS General Leia Organa Solo

Happy New Year, loyal and long-suffering listeners! On Tuesday night, Monolith and Bear Trap recorded a new episode and, apparently, the only things that happened in 2015 worthy of comment were the release of Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Marvel's Jessica Jones on Netflix. So for almost two hours, that's what they talk about. The Star Wars chit-chat is the first hour and a half, the rest is Jessica Jones. Be aware, SPOILERS abound, so if you haven't seen these but plan to in the near future, you might want to save this one for after. Enjoy! Discussed: Monolith ranks Mad Max: Fury Road among the best films of the year (find out what rank he gives it!), the aesthetic difference between 'Mad Max' and 'The Force Awakens', Jedi Priests versus Jedi Knights, why in hell Kylo Ren wore the mask, Bear Trap rants about the criminal incompetence of the Alliance in 'The Force Awakens', Monolith takes us on a weirdly fascinating journey through the Star Wars saga to track the whereabouts of the characters' various light sabers, the pitiable fate of Han Solo, the relative worth of David Tennant as an actor, Jessica Jones' likability, and the horror of Kilgrave's diabolical abilities. Hope you like it!
