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?

It’s Friday and you know what what means? Happy hour and a drunken stupor that lasts until Monday? Sure, why not?

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.

That’s right, it’s time for an all-new episode of The Flickcast! Finally. We had some issues this week. What are you gonna do? At least it’s out now, so enjoy!

On this week’s show Chris and Joe get down to the end. Well, the end of a couple TV shows anyway with the season finales of The Last Ship and the much-discussed Mr. Robot. There’s also some talk about the new The Force Awakens teaser, Star Wars in general, the need for more Batman in the next Superman movie, the genius of Jack Kirby and a whole lot more.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the book Kirby: King of Comics and Joe’s pick of the new album from the band Spock’s Beard.

After a brief hiatus last week (sorry about that) there’s another new episode of The Flickcast for your listening pleasure. We know it was tough last week without a new episode. We’ll try not to disappoint you again.

On this week’s episode, Chris and Joe discuss and debate a whole bunch of stuff including the amazing new trailer for The Force Awakens, the Daredevil series on Netflix, the not-so-stellar Batman v. Superman trailer and, of course, a whole lot more, more, more. And it’s not even your birthday. You’re welcome.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the military sci-fi novel Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos and Joe’s pick of the short film This Is Not What You Had Planned.
