Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker & Fandom Gatekeeping! - Episode 208 - 1/4/2020

Podcast version of the Shane Plays Geek Talk radio show from 1/4/2020:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker & Fandom Gatekeeping!

Highlights: 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.

Shane Plays airs on Saturdays at 1 PM Central on 101.1 FM The Answer in Little Rock. It can also be heard online at 1011fmtheanswer.com and on the Tune In Radio app and iHeart Radio apps. Call in at 501-823-0965 or tweet @ShanePlays during the show!
