Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast
A long time ago in theaters far, far away four nerds got swept up by one of the greatest pop culture waves in cinema history. Now, as adults with a lifetime of fandom under their belts they get together to discuss the mythology, characters and business of creating STAR WARS! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the low road to resistance….
Episodes
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 sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and vil...
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 up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, an...
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 honest. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibili...
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 turns out it had too much swash, not enough buckle. T...
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 for some nonetheless! Don’t worry though, we make up fo...
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 sauce and a side of Kawakian Monkey Gizzards! Turn up y...
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 might take! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sen...
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 listening, drop a hit of blobber acid, stimulate the B-spot,...
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-guys with Bukkake Mike and Gloryhole Joel! Turn up your ...
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 directed by Paul Anderson. Has time been unkind to this mo...
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 all be given thought without any clear cut answers but ...
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 film almost cause a divorce? You’ll have to tune in ...
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 all the films that are in contention for the event. ...
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. You’ll thank us later. Turn up your headphones, dial b...
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 hiding in the utility compartment! Turn up your head...
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 fans to enjoy. So come with us as we head down a monkey...
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 that appear in this that might have actually made th...
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 the dialogue overheard in the radio drama, “Hey Uncle A...
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 up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, an...
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 amazing how on topic we stay this episode, it might be a ...
