We’ve reached 40 episodes of the WhoDatJedi podcast! On this episode, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — are joined by special guest Bill Arceneaux (@billreviews), a New Orleans-based film critic. The group inquires about the state of the film industry as well as the film-going experience. Bill speaks to his introduction to the Star Wars films, how he balances his fandom and job when evaluating the movies, why he agrees with Aaron about “The Phantom Menace” being the best prequel, the inherent value in “The Rise of Skywalker” doing something different, and why Star Wars fans should continue to have optimism for the future.
