There's been an awakening in the podcast.

Hi, Griffin. Hi, David. You didn't sleep well last night. I didn't. I, because I had a lot of thoughts. My mind was racing.

This is a Griffin David present the podcast Awakens. I'm Griffin Newman. I'm David Sims.

With us as always is producer Ben Hossley. He's the right there. Hello, panel. Hey, guys.

Um, so did not see this movie. Sorry, Ben. I'm fine with it. I mean, I'm going to see it eventually. I'm not in a rush.

But hopefully you guys have something to say about. I have a lot to say. Uh, we're going to be talking today. I don't have any real talk. You can take this one.

Oh, we'll swing. I'll say some stuff. And if you feel like anything pops up, uh, I know you're not a man to really, uh, I don't dwell on film. No, you don't think on media. Um, no, here we are, guys.

We heard talk about Star Wars Episode 7, the Force Awakens. You and I saw it together last night. Now for a little perspective, we started this podcast in March.

We want to talk about one thing. It was Star Wars Episode 1, the Phantom Man.

And one by one, we went through every film in this series. Yeah, sequentially. Yeah.

Focused on the, um, Phantom Astrology, Phantom Ast Attack, the Clones, the Venge of the Sith. Yeah.

They did like 10, 11 episodes in each of those and have sort of breeze past, um, the original function 70s.

80s because, you know, I felt like it's been chewed up by other people. You know, there's there's less to say there because everyone has that.

Of course. Um, this is kind of the moment that that we've been. It's true. Almost at first and inadvertently, but recently we've been leading up to this.

Yeah. And I feel like, um, I don't know, everything's viewed through the prism of this movie. You know, yeah.

In culture and like, where it places itself. No, no, Ben hasn't seen it.

We're going to get into spoiler territory. I mean, we just, we have to discuss the whole thing.

If you don't want to know about this movie, if you haven't seen it yet, really, just don't listen.

Don't listen. And wait until you've seen the film. So that I assume most of you have.

Yeah. So that applies to Ben as well. Um, so you're, you're just, you can't be in the room.

No, I'm, I'm going to leave. And I'm not listening or cutting out any of this.

Yeah. So this is just going to be it's raw. Is it?
