Episode 184 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Andrew and Phil review the movie event of the galaxy.  And it was good.  Can future sequels sustain the quality of 'Force Awakens'?  Most certainly not.  This film glorious practical effects, hair-raising action sequences, and good performances to boot.  Be warned, this episode contains spoilers.  Phil watched the film in 3D, and found it to be a superior example of what he considers an irritating gimmick.  Andrew delighted in BB-8, an actual working robot that had heart and soul.  Some say that the heroes of this movie are Star Wars fans.  Rey and Finn have heard of the Force, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo and get excited about being a part of their legend.  The audience is equally excited.  Thank you, J.J. Abrams. It's great. You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on the hypertext link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player attached to this post.
