Happy New Year from the Failsons. Eli and Luke are joined by special guest Amy H.S. to talk about STAR WARS Episode IX: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, the supposed end to the Skywalker saga.

We talk about implied fucking, the plot structure, and what this movie had to say, if anything, and rank this installment among the STAR WARS movies.

It's 1985. I am creating life on Europa. It's December 15, 2019. I am watching the season finale of WATCHMEN.
