Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast

Send us a text or voice message Star Wars has always had a never ending supply of cool monsters, mercenaries, and myths. So much so that we are making it into a regular segment! On our first edition we dive into some of the monsters that make Star Wars so unique, and we talk about our favorite mercenaries! Try to tame your inner Rancor while you go sort your inventory! Turn up your headphones, dia...

Send us a text or voice message What was supposed to be our first ever Monsters, Mercenaries, and Myths episode ended up being all about Monsters, Mercenaries, and Myths anyway! We break down the new trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu. There are plenty of deep cuts, easter eggs, and cool little homages in this 2 minute treasure trove. Excitement is high, now we just have to survive three more m...

Send us a text or voice message Journey with us back in time to an era where film blurred the line between homage and plagiarism. A time when you just needed a few marquee names, a modest budget, and a lot of passion. We take a trip back to 1978 to revisit the cinematic oddity known as StarCrash. It is a journey, so buckle up and prepare to board the enemy ship by way of a golden penetrating phall...

Send us a text or voice message What classic sci-fi space opera was both an inspiration for and later inspired by Star Wars? Flash Gordon of course! This week we return with a discussion of what is likely to be one of the only properties to have contributed to the creation of George Lucas’ masterwork that would then go on to inspire a film version of Flash Gordon! We discuss the 1980 film with its...

Send us a text or voice message You know that accomplished feeling of waking up early and getting all the housework done before noon, leaving your day free to do whatever you want? Neither do we, but we attempt to simulate this feeling by making some progress on our format moving forward. At least until we get some more dang Star Wars to talk about! Bring plenty of packing tape, glue, and Goo Gone...

Send us a text or voice message The start of a new year should be filled with excitement and anticipation of what’s to come, but for Star Wars fans it feels we’re looking into a void of nothingness. Sure we have Mandalorian and Grogu coming in May but other than that we have no firm dates for any other Star Wars content. This presents a challenge for a Star Wars podcast. What is our path forward?...

Send us a text or voice message This week we find ourselves at a crossroad. To our left we see all that has come before. To our right we see all that will be. Which direction do we choose? Both, of course! We stare back into the abyss of 2025 with an eye towards 2026 as it relates to Star Wars. We also keep a healthy dose of skepticism while being trapped in a podcast centipede as we attempt to no...

Send us a text or voice message It is an episode of lasts. We discuss the last episode of Season Three of Star Wars Visions with S3E9: Black. We also have our last episode of 2025. And it is our last episode ever… just kidding you aren’t that lucky. Yet. In addition we also talk about how we would prefer Star Wars to strike a balance between film and streaming. A word of advice - before listening...

Send us a text or voice message Join us on a spiritual journey deep into the heart of the force where we come face to face with our greatest foe, ourselves. We continue with our coverage of Star Wars Visions as we discuss the penultimate episode of Season 3 with S3E8: The Bird of Paradise. We also talk about that old codger Dryden Vos Hogg vs. The Luke Boys, getting ingrained in the brain, and so...

Send us a text or voice message What makes a compelling short Star Wars episode? We discuss this in detail as our coverage of Star Wars Visions rolls on as we discuss S3E7: The Smuggler. We also talk about some other shows we’ve been watching, argue about the best musicians from New York, and so much more. Or so much less because sometimes less is more. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sens...

Send us a text or voice message The Star Wars Visions coverage continues as we discuss S3E6: The Lost Ones. I don’t know, we might be getting a little too old for this sh*t, or maybe we just had a hard time stretching it (do do doodoo) either way we do talk some Star Wars, discuss some other shows we’ve been watching, and invent a new platform called the Apple Piecast. Sounds delicious right? Turn...

Send us a text or voice message We finally get to answer the age old question of what Steve Buscemi would sound like as a Star Wars character! This week we continue our coverage of Star Wars Visions as we discuss S3E5: Yuko’s Treasure. We also stop in to visit the Arkham Glory Hole, then take a detour to the bumper cars, side cars and side bars club and then flip on the black light to keep us hone...

Send us a text or voice message We have a lot to be thankful for, but one of those things isn’t the dearth of live action Star Wars. We got spoiled for years and now we’re going through a dry spell. We’ll attempt to wash away our tears with another episode of Star Wars Visions as we discuss S3E4: The Bounty Hunters. We also attempt to come up with our own pitch for a Star Wars Visions episode. It...

Send us a text or voice message We continue on with our coverage of Star Wars Visions with S3E3: The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope… eventually. You have to stick with us on this, we do discuss the episode, but not before having a super engaging conversation on creating art, being self aware, and being able to learn from failure. It’s not your typical Force Insensitive topic, but we hope its helpful fo...

Send us a text or voice message Don’t look now but we’re discussing Star Wars for a second consecutive week! We continue with our coverage of Season 3 of Star Wars Visions as we discuss S3E2: The Song of Four Wings. This time, there is 100% more participation in discussing the episode! Before listening to this episode, go to your favorite drive thru and order up a Banthasaurus Burger with extra sa...

Send us a text or voice message It seems like it has been ages since we last spoke about a new Star Wars show. Too bad that doesn’t really happen on this episode. Half of us watched the first episode of Season Three of Star Wars: Visions and the other half didn’t. Any guesses what he watched instead? We also veer off into multiple derailments and discuss the future of this show and what form it mi...

Send us a text or voice message This week we wrap up our Sci-Fi Spooktober special event with one of the better remakes of the 1980s as we discuss The Blob from director Chuck Russell! This films bring up a greater discussion about the old methods of special FX vs. CGI and which we prefer. There are also some major revelations about some of the actors in this film that surprised us. Before listeni...

Send us a text or voice message On the penultimate Sci-Fi Spooktober episode we journey not into the stars, but into a comet containing nude space vampires that just want to suck the life out of you! Really, we didn’t make that up. This week we discuss the often overlooked 1985 Sci-Fi Horror film Lifeforce from director Tobe Hooper! Join us through the looking glass as we hunt for the Sarcopha-guy...

Send us a text or voice message You know, reality is a bitch when you’re experiencing your own personal Event Horizon while wearing yogurt pants and a goiter meat mask. What the hell are we talking about? That’s a very good question and one that can only be answered by listening to our continuation of Sci-Fi Spooktober. This week we watch and discuss the 1997 Sci-Fi Horror film Event Horizon direc...

Send us a text or voice message Sci-Fi Spooktober is for viewing and discussing classics in the genre and this week we tackle one of the titans of Sci-Fi Horror with the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers! Was Leonard Nimoy gaslighting everyone? Was Jeff Goldblum an up and coming young hunk at the time he made this film? Did she really have Donald Sutherland eyes? These questions and more will al...

Send us a text or voice message It’s time for something just a little bit different! This week we kick off Sci-Fi Spooktober! Or is it Operation Starcrawler? Or maybe the Sci-Fi Horror-shlock-a-thon! Whatever we decide to call it, we will be discussing a Sci-Fi Horror film every week in October and we start by discussing the cult classic Hong Kong film The Cat from director Ngai Choi Lam. Did this...

Send us a text or voice message It is almost that time of year. The joyous time where the leaves begin changing color, there is a cool crisp in the air, and freaky outer space aliens come to our planet to eat us for lunch! That’s not really how it goes, but that is how we’ll be spending our October this year as we program a month long Sci-Fi Horror event. Tune in to the episode and hear us discuss...

Send us a text or voice message After several weeks of listening to a horny 1980s Star Wars radio drama, we decided to give ourselves a bit of a break. As always, we manage to shoe horn some Star Wars into our conversations, but this week is more free form as we meander quite a bit around myriad topics. Don’t be patient negative one, get yourself an Apple Saltini with the testicular tether ball. Y...

Send us a text or voice message We are bookended by Double D as he joins us to wrap up our coverage of the Star Wars: A New Hope Radio Drama! This has been a fun run down a nostalgia filled trench. There is a large list of things we learned while revisiting this radio drama; we learned it was the horniest radio drama of its time, you can’t digitize away incest, and we learn a brand new meaning for...

Send us a text or voice message We’re beginning to think the writers of the Star Wars: A New Hope Radio Drama had some repressed fantasies they are now taking out on all of us. We get to hear a side of Luke’s training that perhaps should have stayed hidden. However, there is plenty of good here this week. The voice acting really hits its stride and there are some interesting extras for hardcore fa...
