Ep 79- The Rise of Skywalker

Now that we’ve all seen Rise of Skywalker, we’ve brought Becky back
to talk about it!  On our last episode, the three of us talked
about the ethical questions, hopes, and concerns we had going into
this movie- this episode we revisit them, and ask, how did this
movie address them?  What happened with the Jedi? Did Rey get
the character arc she deserved? And does Hanukkah Harry use the
same merit based system of gift to child allocation that Santa
Claus does?
 We’re pleased to have Becky Allen join us for this
discussion. Becky Allen is the author of Bound by Blood and Sand
and the sequel, Freed by Flame and Storm. She grew up outside
Ithaca, New York, and graduated from Brandeis University with a
major in American studies and a minor in journalism. She is the
product manager for TheBody.com, an online HIV resource, and loves
New York, brunch, and feminism.
We mentioned a few links in the episode, including Hanukkah Harry,
Becky’s podcast episode about The Christmas Prince, and Matthew’s
Facebook live blog of the movie, inspired by Becky’s
podcast.
