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 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 happens on this show! Turn up your headphones, dial ...
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 headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join th...
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 that might not do much good. You know what, just lis...
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 adventure with one of our favorite characters? You’ll have to...
This week we return to creature comforts in the form of animated Star Wars adventures. We discuss the first three episodes of Tales of the Underworld which focuses on one of our favorite characters, Asajj Ventress. We get some surprising cameos and some great character beats from one of the most badass characters to appear in Star Wars. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive ...
We spend several hours talking about not only one of the greatest Star Wars series ever made, but perhaps one of the greatest TV series ever made as we have a wrap up show to discuss Season Two of Andor in totality. We have a couple guests joining us as well for the festivities and we talk about favorite character arcs, which season of the show we prefer, and the concept of changing canon. Before you hit play on this ...
Its all over but the crying. In a very fitting, poignant last story arc we follow Cassian in the period just prior to Rogue One and find out what happens to everyone from this amazing series. We do our best to discuss some of theories, easter eggs, connections, and details of the final arc. We even take a victory lap for one of our predictions. Manny Bothans went foraging for Bib Fortuna at the Ring of Caffeine. It wo...
Wow. Just wow. The third story arc from Andor Season 2 was a tour de force of tension, pacing, and character narratives colliding in all the best ways to give us 2.5 hours of arguably the best Star Wars we’ve ever seen. We would need triple the time to properly encapsulate everything, but we try our best to add commentary and talk about all the details for Episodes 7-9. Gilroy is good enough to keep us on topic with l...
If we were back last week, we are ALL THE WAY BACK this week. Wow what a story arc. This week on the podcast we discuss Episodes 4-6 of Season Two of Andor. We won’t tease tease you or write some BS description to get hate clicks, no this 3 episode arc was pure cinematic perfection. There are important character beats, some economical smart plot advancement and tension, oh the tension. Come with us to Ghorman so you c...
We are so back! Back with a new season of the podcast, a new season of Andor to discuss, and a new approach to the amount of vulgarity on the show. One of those statements is a lie, we’ll let you decide which is which. On the first episode of the new season we discuss the first story arc of Andor Season two which is comprised of the first three episodes; One Year Later, Sagrona Teema, and Harvest. To Casanova Wong Foo...
We’re about to blow a giant hole right through the hype machine! This week on the show we kick off our Andor Season 2 coverage with a preview of the upcoming season. We talk about potential cameos, theories, prognostications, and we put our money into the death pool. If you want to know the moral to the package, and learn how to play glory hole or toilet bowl, then you better tune in! Turn up your headphones, dial bac...
Sometimes an episode title is so out there and wacky, yet in some way it encapsulates the last two hours of your life that you just have to roll with it. This week is a freeballing free-for-all that mostly centers around non Star Wars topics, but we somehow manage to come back around long enough to maintain our Star Wars podcast cards. You can tune in for all that nonsense plus you’ll find out how Quasi got his hump b...
On this week’s episode we close the book on May The Farce Be With You. We talk about our favorite and least favorite parts of this experiment and call out the parodies we’d recommend to Star Wars fans. Of course there are also several detours of the musical variety, but funny enough most of them have ties back to Star Wars! Whether you’re Bi-Fi or Sci-Fexual you are welcome here! Just be sure to steer clear of Super S...
To close out our May The Farce Be With You month we cover the Granddaddy of all Star Wars parodies, the Mel Brooks classic Spaceballs! We have an obligation and a duty to discuss the film that gave so many quotable lines to an entire generation. Don’t get your schwartz caught in your zipper because Spaceballs are people too, and you might just find out who produces the producers! Turn up your headphones, dial back you...
This week we kick May The Farce Be With You into hyperspace as we discuss the road trip, heist, comedy, Star Wars parody film Fanboys! We learn the tragedy of Darth Weinstein the Unwise, chat about the height of internet nerdom on aintitcoolnews, and we rub that Neapolitan Cinema all over everything! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the l...
May The Farce Be With You continues on as we discuss the three Family Guy Star Wars episodes; Blue Harvest, Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, and It’s A Trap. Do these episodes not work for the uninitiated Family Guy viewers, or do they stand alone in the annals of Star Wars parody-dom? To find the answer you better prepare flowers for Alderaan and fix your bent dong action heroes or Darth Maul will get dat ...
This week we kick off our May The Farce Be With You Month! Our opening episode is a collection of shorts, skits, segments, and episodes that capture the spirit of Star Wars in myriad comedy styles. We meet muses of both George Lucas and Darth Vader, there is the true story of how Ponda Baba lost his arm, and the infamous Intercontinental Ham Salad Job. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join th...
This week is the kickoff to our May the Farce Be With You event coming up in the month of March! We nominate our favorite Star Wars spoofs and parodies and program out the next four weeks of content. We ended up doing one episode of all shorts, one that consists of three TV episodes, and the final two will each be a different feature film. Tune in to hear the full run down for the event and stay for the awkward humor ...
Every now and then you need to stop and take a deep breath to calm yourself from all the crazy events in the world. We do the Force Insensitive equivalent of that as we talk about a relaxing topic— politics! Galactic Politics to be precise. We’ll cover dictators, emperors, the ruling class, and the rebels who fight against it all. It’s the fun kind of politics! We also try to get to the bottom of which Deep Throat cam...
This week we’re hand delivering a number two directly to your ear holes! Wait you thought we meant… no we mean the second installment of our Star Wars live action shows tier ranking! In this one we finished ranking the last 4 seasons and then we do the tough work of finalizing our tiers and making the tough decisions to move certain shows up or down. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the ...
