Comedian Michael Brown and certified geek Richard McBain join to talk about what we thought of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Did J.J. Abrams pull it off and tie everything together? How is it doing at the box office? We respond to a completely devastatingly ignant tweet trying to gatekeep Star Wars fandom. The Star Wars fanfare still gives Mike goosebumps.
