494: SKELETON CREW Breakdown with Mike Celestino


The long-awaited STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW is here! It’s December which means we get NEW Star Wars content! This answers the question, what do you get when you mix The Goonies, Stand By Me, and the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction together in a galaxy far far away. 

 

Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s The Bossk podcast) joins us to break down this new live action series which premiered on Disney+ on December 2nd. We give our reactions and go through the many many easter eggs & parallels to the coming-of-age films of the 80’s. And yes, there will be spoilers.
