Episode 56 - Star Wars Symposium Part I

Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike. This week the chaps immerse themselves in the Star Wars universe in the first part of their Star Wars Symposium. They discuss the prequels, Solo, and Rogue One. They also talk about the movies that inspired Star Wars, Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero's Journey' and it's relation to Star Wars, and they ask whether Jar-Jar Binks was in fact a dark and powerful Sith Lord? Also, a one-legged ghost-child in Thailand, camel-toe knickers, the fat tourists banned from riding Greek donkeys, and Mike finally begins his Jedi training.
