Special Event: Weekly Planet's riff of STAR WARS

March 13, 2025 4:34 PM

That's the original Star Wars, and the theatrical cut I believe. The Weekly Planet is a pop culture discussion podcast, and your culture doesn't get much more pop than "A New Hope." A doofus moisture (a.k.a. "sweat") farmer leaves his hick planet to navigate a universe of robots, monsters, cabarets, wizards, smugglers, princesses and villains. Somehow he saves the universe. Here's their link to the audio of their riff ($1), released August 2015.

As it turned out, it was less of a riff than running commentary over the movie, though still entertaining!
