Sinopse

In this episode’s opening, Kirsty recommends the following: - This is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection (2019) - The Last of Sheila (1973) - Assembly by Natasha Brown - Several People are Typing by Calvin Kasulke And Rachael has these picks: - The Cremator (1969) - Mass (2021) - Ballad of a Soldier (1959) Around the 21-minute mark, we move on to the Star Wars topics! We start off with a spoiler-y discussion of The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray, the final novel of phase one of the High Republic publishing initiative. We share what we liked and what we felt could have been improved, going on a little mini rant about one Marchion Ro. Then, around 36 minutes in, we change gears to discuss the latest two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett - Episode 5: Return of the Mandalorian and Episode 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger. We really enjoyed much of episode 5, but are more mixed on the choices made for episode 6, particularly the ethical implications of its furthering of the deep-fake technology. Many thank
