Summary

I know that the pearl headbands have been strangely polarizing. Okay, I read the comments, I hear you loud and clear, but I like them. I do, I like the way they look and also last night I went to bed with wet hair and this morning it's just it's been a struggle okay and the

headband is helping to keep everything in place so we're just we're rolling with it.

Hey guys welcome back to the show today we're going to be talking about what seems to be the latest chapter of Hollywood putting ideology before entertainment now it's no secret that since Disney acquired Lucas film the Star Wars franchise has become somewhat controversial. After its acquisition, Disney started up a new Star Wars trilogy made up of the films, of course Force Awakens the last Jedi and most recently the

0:55.0

rise of Skywalker and let's just say the fan reaction has been mixed we did do a

1:01.8

review of the rise of Skywalker when it came out last December if you would like to check that out, but obviously I mean the movies have made a ton of money, literally billions of dollars, so it wouldn't be fair to say that no one liked them

1:16.5

but at the same time some fans especially I think fans of the original trilogy have felt that the Disney films just weren't that well-written,

1:47.2

Until that is this week when rumors surface that not only was a quote

1:52.0

female-centric Star Wars series in the works but that it would also be written by someone who

So yeah, that's what we're going to be talking about, but first I have a quick message from

2:11.6

our sponsor, Quip.

2:13.0

Let's talk about brushing our teeth.

2:15.0

I personally am terrible about remembering to get new toothbrushes,

2:19.0

which is why I am such a huge fan of Quip.

2:22.0

They delivered toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste directly to you on

2:25.8

a schedule so you know your oral health is being well taken care of. The quip electric

2:31.0

toothbrush has timed sonic vibrations with 30 second pulses to guide a dentist recommended two minute routine.

2:37.6

And as you can see, unlike other electric toothbrush, the quip toothbrush is not some huge bulky thing. On the contrary, it's super small and sleek and really easy to travel with.
