In this episode’s opening, Kirsty recommends the following:

- You Must Remember This, a podcast by Karina Longworth - The Batman, dir. Matt Reeves - Russian Doll, season 2

And Rachael has these picks:

- The Drop Out - The Most Beautiful Wife, dir. Damiano Damiani - Deep Water, dir. Adrian Lyne - Prayers for the Stolen, dir. Tatiana Huezo - Love of Seven Dolls by Paul Gallico

We then move on to discuss the latest Star Wars news, covering the following topics:

- Donald Glover talks his Lando series - Star Wars Celebration schedule announcements begin - Star Wars Visions season 2 rumours begin to swirl - Natalie Holt announced as the composer for ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’

We then move on to our spotlight discussion, which is focused on comparing and contrasting the two major sci-fi franchises of 1999 - The Matrix and Star Wars. We begin our discussion in that year, considering what makes the two properties similar and different, and exploring how both franchises were compared at the time.

We discuss all four Matrix films and the Star Wars prequels and sequels in chronological order, considering questions of authorship and artistic control. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

There’s a part of me that feels like I have been waiting my whole life for you. And that part is like, ‘ What the hell took you so long? ’

This week, Kirsty (Rachael is on editing-only duties this week!) is joined by four guests to discuss racism and fandom. April, Mariet, Mneme and Molly are all women of color who ship Reylo. They’re here to share their experiences and interactions with other shippers, anti-shippers, and the larger Star Wars fandom. They also cover how the sequel trilogy depicts its characters of color, including the treatment of Rose Tico and the introduction of Jannah in The Rise of Skywalker.

You can find our guests on twitter: April at @enfysblessed, Mariet at @valkyrie_art, Molly at @mpychu, and Mneme at @thebittersnake.
