That’s right, it’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. The new year just keeps on giving (pretty much).

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss the movie Arrival, Ben Affleck dropping out of directing Batman, M. Night Shyamalan’s career, the curious case of Jeremy Renner, the pleasures of mindless entertainment, the start of the new Han Solo solo movie, who should be the next Doctor and more. Plus, the usual even more. But don’t worry, no politics (mostly).

Beer selections this week include Mosaic IPA from Community Beer Co. for Chris and Gnomegeddon Blonde Ale from Brewery Ommergang for Joe. Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the film Unbreakable and Joe’s pick of the movie The Accountant.

You’ve waited and you’ve waited and, well, you’ve waited some more. We’re sorry about that but, you know, things happen. At least we weren’t attacked by a bear. So there’s that.

The important thing to keep in mind now is: we’re back baby! Back with a brand new episode of The Flickcast!

You’re right, it is a great time to be alive.

On this week’s show Chris and Joe get right back into it with more discussion about Star Wars: Episode VIII, the X-Files, a Punisher TV series likely coming to Netflix, sexisim and racism in Hollywood and a whole lot more. No, don’t worry, the boys don’t get too political on this week’s episode. It’s just about the fun.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the film The Revenant, directed by Alejandro Iñárritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom hardy, and Joe’s pick of Aaron Trotter’s Brewery Playing Cards.

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).

You’ve waited and you’ve waited. Now, it’s finally here. A new episode of The Flickcast! But wait, that’s not all. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is also here!

As promised, Chris and Joe get neck deep into the new Star Wars movie and talk about it for pretty much the entire show. And yes, they do discuss some spoilers, so beware.

They also talk about a couple other things. But for the most part, this episode is all Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars!

Picks this week are again unanimous: Star Wars: The Force Awakens! Did you expect anything else?

May the Force Be With You.
