In honor of Star Wars and the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi, friend of the podcast and fellow traveler Mr. Bill is the special guest on this eclectic episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.
Chauncey DeVega and Mr. Bill reflect on their four-decade long relationship with all things Star Wars and how they feel as men of a certain vintage about George Lucas’s great gift to the world, why they love it so much, and how that love and relationship went so wrong with Disney’s takeover.
They also discuss what it was like to see Return of the Jedi in the theater last week, the perils of nostalgia, and what the future direction of the Star Wars Universe should be – and if it can be salvaged.
And Chauncey DeVega and Bill the Lizard also try to make sense of how Season Three of The Mandalorian went so wrong and why Grogu should be very upset at how he has been treated.
On this special eclectic episode, Chauncey DeVega honors the now departed Jerry Springer, shares the lessons about our common humanity that he learned in his neighborhood these last two weeks, and goes to the movies (and has yet another titillating experience while there).
At the end of this eclectic episode, Chauncey shares two heartwarming stories about our beloved animal friends.
