Star Boys - Episode III: The Force Awakens


The final chapter of Star Boys concludes as Ricky, Carlos, and Matt are joined by new Star Boy Amos Stillwell, as they discuss the biggest movie since...ever, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
No topic, issue, criticism goes untouched, as the boy discuss the introduction of new characters, the return of old favorites, the directing style, theories about what's to come next, and of course the BIG scene. You know what we're taking about.
And yes, THERE BE SPOILERS.
But the boys also discuss some more critical questions surrounding the movie:
Does it borrow too much for A New Hope?
Do the practical effects and puppets hold up?
Is Rey a Mary Sue, or are her critics a bunch of unwashed meninists who have never spoken to a woman? (Spoiler: It's the latter)
We go from the opening crawl to gruff Harrison Ford, BB-8, the Muppets, Super 8, Kylo Ren, How Simon Pegg's Daughter Saved the Movie, the New York Mets, Mad Max, George Lucas, Emerson kids we disagree with, Jefferson Starship, Twitter, Michael Giacchino, sand, puppies, and Bill Buckner.
What can we say, but "Now THIS is podcasting!"
