Customer Reviews
Enriching and endlessly insightful
I adore this podcast. From their series exploring the films that inspired George Lucas to create Star Wars, to insightful recaps and interviews with authors and composers, What the Force is the gift that keeps on giving. If you’re searching for a podcast that will leave you with a newfound appreciation of Star Wars, Lucas, mythology and more, look no further than What the Force!
BDS Disney
The host continues to discuss a Disney-owned franchise (and presumably still pays for the Disney+) without acknowledging Disney’s complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. #BDSDisney
She is AMAZING / He can be very annoying
Found this podcast because I recently watched Andor and was looking for meaningful analysis of it. Marie-Claire’s perspective in this podcast is fantastic and made me think about the show in new ways. The big problem I have is Alex. He often seems unprepared, does not remember vital details, and is barely keeping up as is evidenced by his verbal crutches of constantly repeating “like,” “you know,” and, “whatever.” I struggle with him only because her insights are so strong.
