Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast

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...

Send us a text or voice message There really are no words to explain what you’re about to listen to. The first 90 seconds of this episode might be the most shocking thing you’ve ever heard on this podcast… and that’s saying something! We continue with our coverage of the Star Wars A New Hope Radio Drama as we cover chapters 7 and 8! We eventually get into a good discussion about certain characters...

Send us a text or voice message This week we try our absolute best to avoid any Imperial entanglements, but that is surprisingly harder than one might imagine, just ask Blue Narcolepsy. We continue with our coverage of the original Star Wars radio drama as we talk about chapters 5 & 6. We finally get to hear Han Solo and a somewhat lurid Obi-Wan. This may or may not be an example of some of th...

Send us a text or voice message This week we huddle around an old transistor radio with our snacks and our Yoo-Hoo to find out exactly what happens in the next installment of the Star Wars: A New Hope Radio Drama! We learn way more than we bargained for though as we find out about Darth Vader’s Black Helmet Diaries, what his Antilles heel is, and that his hands weren’t between two sand dunes! Turn...

Send us a text or voice message Well we finally did it. It has been long requested and we finally caved and decided to check out the first of the Star Wars radio dramas! We discuss the first two chapters of the 1981 production with the man who initially recommended it to us, Double D! There was a surprising amount of extra backstory here that made for an engaging listen. It’s actually kind of amaz...

Send us a text or voice message Stop me if you’ve heard this one. An Ithorian and a Kowakian Monkey Lizard walk into a bar… actually if we say anymore we’ll be giving too much away. This week we play a little What If… and imagine a series that would fill a massive hole in the Star Wars Galaxy. You need to hear it to believe it! While you’re listening maybe you and Carmen Chameleon can go plug up a...

Send us a text or voice message This week’s episode contains a little bit of everything. First, we finally settle on a format for the next several months of shows until new Star Wars content is released. We also pay tribute to an icon that was a cultural phenomenon in The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. You might wonder how he relates to Star Wars but we somehow found a way to make it work! Joi...

Send us a text or voice message What does one do when they lose their way? They refocus and center themselves. What do we do when we lose our way? We talk through it like adults. Ok, teenagers? Nah you’re right, like children. This week we figure out what a show without new content does. We lay it all out on the table and figure out what we’re going to do moving forward. We almost have a plan. You...

Send us a text or voice message What started as a harmless discussion about the greatest space opera ever created quickly turned into a high stakes game of Six Degrees of Star Wars. With lives on the line and reputations hanging in the balance we do our best to steer the conversation into a more on brand format, with a twist. And of course none of this happened organically or unplanned. That never...

Send us a text or voice message Pack your bags, submit your paid time off, call a babysitter, and get ready to head out on a once in a lifetime vacation at the destination of your choice anywhere in the Star Wars Galaxy! There are endless possibilities so we try to narrow down the options for you. Whether we were successful or not is still to be determined, but it was fun to discuss! Turn up your...

Send us a text or voice message So uh, are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, we have. Let us prove it to you by talking about our favorite non-Star Wars topic for two hours — music. Of course we attempt to bring it around to the topic at hand, but this one is a stretch to say it’s a Star Wars show. If you don’t like it, talk to our lawyers. Although since they won’t talk to us...

Send us a text or voice message Star Wars is a funny thing. We love that we have an embarrassment of riches with constant new content in our favorite galaxy, yet when is it just too much? Do we really need to know all the answers to questions we never asked? Do we always require a character’s legacy to carry on after their dead? Or can we just turn off our brains and enjoy a well animated adventur...
