This week I am both excited about the premiere of Star Wars: Andor and disappointed by the news that Patty Jenkins’ movie Rogue Squadron was reportedly shelved. I have Star Wars emotional whiplash! What is going on at Disney? I have a theory.

I also talk about the importance of explaining the faith, about the Arc of a Scythe trilogy, about vegetarian wraps, crispy tofu and about the iPhone 14 Pro Max!

In this podcast, I share short reviews of Free Guy, The Father and No Time to Die and I talk about the latest Netflix hit series ‘Squid Game’. I review the book “Niksen: Embracing the Dutch Art of Doing Nothing” and I talk about science denial. This show was patched together from two broken internet streams and misses a few of the usual segments due to me forgetting to press record locally on my audio recorder. I’ll integrate the missing topics in next week’s show!
