The Acculturated-Ricochet Podcast: Saving Star Wars
Ben Domenech and I are back with your bimonthly dose of pop culture! In this edition of the Acculturated podcast, we talk to The Weekly Standard’s Jonathan Last, an enthusiast and expert of comic books, video games, and sci-fi movies. Last is just the man you will want to hear from in light of the recent–some would say tragic–news about the Star Wars franchise (if you’re not caught up on that story, be sure to check out Ben Domenech’s piece, “George Lucas Just Saved Star Wars by Firing George Lucas”).
Ben, Jonathan, and I chat about the future of Star Wars, the best (and worst) film in Lucas’ series, whether Hollywood is in a creative rut, and why heroism is making a comeback in the popular culture.
