In this episode, Liz and Heather invite Cassie, Kitty, and Heather back into the studio to discuss Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This episode will be full of all kinds of spoilers and squees! It has been a full year of Nerdy Bitches podcasting leading up to this movie's release, so it is finally time for us to talk about it, having actually seen it!
Again, this episode is FULL OF SPOILERS!!
so, proceed at your own risk if you haven't yet seen the movie.
We talk about how much we all loved this movie, our favorite parts, parts we may not have liked as much (ha!), and what we would like to see from the next movie(s). Most of the panel have seen the movie 2-3 times with more plans to keep seeing it. We all noticed that the more we watched, the more we noticed. So, we all clearly loved the movie. Even Heather, our non-Star Wars girl, is becoming a bigger and bigger fan!
Favorite Characters
Han Solo - SO MANY TEARS!! Heather called it in our last episode, where Han Solo needs to die to be able to give the new generation something to hold on to. It was both the best and worst way for him to die. Does he, perhaps, have the Force? He is incredibly lucky. Who knows?
Did Kylo Ren actually save Rey? Did he take away her memory? Are they siblings? Cousins? WE DON'T KNOW! But, we are so ready to find out!
Least Favorite
Note: David Bowie did NOT fight at the battle of the Alamo. Also, several days after this recording, David Bowie passed away at age 69 from cancer. We did discuss his Labyrinth cod piece, but in our defense, he was alive at the time. Rest in Peace, King Jareth. Please enjoy.
Upcoming Book Club: Lamb by Christopher Moore. Read it.

STAR WARS!!! In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss the new Star Wars movie with fellow nerdy bitches, Sophie and Kitty!
Episode 7: The Force Awakens opens December 18th, and at least 3/4 of us are SUPER excited! This is a Boozylicious episode, thanks to Kitty's Magic Martinis (Star Wars name still pending). We do also give a nod to both the Robot Chicken and Family Guy's versions of Star Wars, which are freaking hilarious. If you haven't seen those, check them out.
We discuss what has been leaked, what hasn't yet been released, and what we are hoping will be released. Also, Star Wars math is wonky. The ages from movie to movie just don't add up.
Anakin may be Jesus. Listen, and we will tell you why. (Also - read Lamb by Christopher Moore) We also play Fuck, Kill, Marry with the Star Wars universe - it doesn't get better than this!
Alert - Po is not the black Stormtrooper - that's Finn. We were drinking. A lot. You don't need to tell us we are wrong. We know it. We admit it. Get off our backs! ;-)
We are all planning on watching the movies again before the movie is released. We will definitely be having a post-release episode discussing the movie which will be full of spoilers and speculations.
And the merchandising! WTF? Star Wars fruit? AT-ATs at the Astros game? Totally overboard, in our bitchy opinions. Please stop changing the shape of our pasta to meet your Force needs.
Recommendations - Go watch everything we have been talking about!
Proper order to watch Star Wars movies: 4,5,6,1,2,3 - This doesn't ruin all of the later reveals.
