Show Notes
Kat Rosenfield wrote for Reason Magazine a feature piece on how Star Wars' three trilogies aligns almost perfectly with the politics of the time they were made in. What makes the sequel trilogy so unique, Episodes VII-IX, is that their chaotic nature almost mirrors the era we live in today.
Stephen Kent and Kat discuss her article, living during COVID-19 and Kat shares a solid TV recommendation.
