The Dilettante’s Guide to ‘The Force Awakens’

by Heather Toshiko, Jan 4 2016 // 6:00 AM

rey-the-force-awakens

By now all the fanboys, fangirls and fanpersons have seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens with just my fellow ambivalents and dilettantes left checking the matinee prices and hoping the theatre sells beer. Although I have probably seen OG Star Wars at least 50 times, I never bothered to watch the prequel trilogy. Not interested.

I was also pretty meh about The Force Awakens, until I saw a preview, had my “Oh shit” moment and realized this was the true and honest SEQUEL to Jedi we’ve been waiting for. Suddenly, I cared.

Still, I’m just a Star Wars fan, not a Star Wars FAN. I couldn’t tell you the name of the cantina from A New Hope, or the names of any planets besides Endor, Tatooine and Alderaan. But I’m a child of the 70’s and 80’s so Star Wars is part of my canon. Unlike FANS, though, it’s not part of my blood.

With that in mind, I give you the dilettante’s guide to The Force Awakens (complete with some potential spoilers, so beware).

However, it also means it’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast! Speaking of that . . .

On this week’s show Chris and Joe talk more about the upcoming Star Wars movie, the potential MST3K revival, Heroes Reborn, Blindspot and wax nostalgic about Mr. Robot. They also discuss The Flash, Arrow, The Walking Dead and don’t hold back their feelings on a potential Snowpiercer TV series.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the movie Spectre, and Joe’s pick of the recent performance of Peter Capaldi as “The Doctor” in that show about the Doctor who travels through time.

First ‘Star Wars: Episode 7’ Teaser Awakens

by Joe Gillis, Nov 28 2014 // 8:00 AM

star-wars-ep-7-falcon-1

That’s right folks, it’s that time. Time for the brand new teaser for the trailer for the next Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens. And at only about 88 seconds, quite a tease it is.

In it you do get a few glimpses of some of the new faces coming up in the new movie. You also get to revisit some old friends (at least one) in the form of the ever-reliable Millennium Falcon.

You know the ship. It made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. That is, if you believe a certain scoundrel’s account of past events.

At any rate, it’s here and it’s after the break. And yes, we kinda dig it and yes we’re pretty darn excited for the movie. But really, who isn’t?

vader-pinch-1

It’s an all-new episode of The Flickcast for your listening pleasure. Eight new ones in a row. Come on, that’s gotta be a record. Or, at the very least, damn cool.

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new and recurring topics. Some of these include the next Star Wars movie, the upcoming Evil Dead TV series on Starz, Net Neutrality, movies, TV, comics and whatever else they happen to think of at the time. Of course, there’s always that “more” too.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of director Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar and Joe’s pick of a podcast called EOS 10.

The Flickcast Episode 245: The Star Wars

by The Flickcast, May 7 2014 // 12:00 PM

Star-Wars-1

Today is Wednesday, so that means there’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you. And, like each one before it, this episode is pretty darn good. It also might be a bit controversial.

On this week’s show Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones — as you might expect. But really, they pretty much spend most of their time talking about Star Wars and the new cast announced recently. They also spend some time discussing women, haters and their general dislike for people who whine. Yeah, this is gonna be good.

There’s also more, of course. And per usual, you won’t be able to handle it all.

The guys also made picks this week. If you want to know what they are, you’ll just have to listen. Don’t worry, it will be time well spent. Trust us.

The Flickcast Episode 244: And Justice (League) For All

by The Flickcast, Apr 30 2014 // 10:30 AM

injustice-android-1

Today is Wednesday so that means we’ve got a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you to enjoy. And like always, it’s a pretty darn good one.

On this week’s show Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones — as you might expect. Some of these topics include the “sequel” to the classic Sword & the Sorcerer, Star Wars Episode VII casting rumors and what is now considered “canon”for the series, George Lucas himself, Justice League and Man of Steel 2 casting and potential storylines, the nature of the movie business and a whole lot more. As usual, you can’t handle all the more!

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the Lightroom app from Adobe and Joe’s pick of the ComiXology app for Android.

As always, if you have comments, questions, critiques, offers of sponsorship, or whatever, feel free to hit us up in the comments, on Twitter, at Facebook, Google+ or via email.
