Episode 54 - The Power of None
Manage episode 436180767 series 2429406
Join us as we pour one out for The Acolyte, a show that brought compelling ideas to Star Wars and setup tantalizing questions that we sadly may never see resolved as the show is reported to have not been renewed for a second season. We then take our time calling out the toxic contingent of Star Wars fans and the rage-filled content mills on YouTube claiming “victory” over this announcement. After blasting the trolls, we descend on Disney and talk about the problem with the optics they’ve created through this decision and why data worship can lead to a monoculture of low art. If you stick around through the tumult of our frustration with both Disney and the fandom menace, we do eventually return to a state of joy and not only review some comics, but also host our first ever Underworld Draft!
