Podcast Episode 8: How a tragic war film became one of the best Star Wars stories

This week I’m joined by Justin Cox. He’s an author, the founder and editor of The Writing Cooperative, and also a huge Star Wars fan. We had a great, wide-ranging conversation about Rogue One I think you’ll love. I sure did!

An irreverent celebration of pop culture. Funny asides and probably overly serious analysis on movies, TV shows, and video games. Mainly focusing on stuff from the 1980s - 2010s. New episodes every week.
