Show Notes
This week, we go from the high ground to high school hoops. In this special episode, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith by diving deep into Anakin’s fall, Palpatine’s rise, and why this prequel has aged better than many expected. Then we take a sharp turn into 80s nostalgia with a look back at Michael J. Fox’s furry coming-of-age comedy, Teen Wolf (1985) — because what better double feature than galactic tragedy and werewolf basketball?
