<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The geeks speak!</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gobbledygeek</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">has been resurrected via cloning or Force magic or some shit, and to kick off season 11,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Broken Magic</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">author and</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Deli Counter of Justice</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">co-creator Eric Sipple has lightspeed-skipped on over to discuss</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. After adoring</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Last Jedi</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the gang approached this supposed final film in the Skywalker Saga with heavy amounts of skepticism--well-earned, depending on who you ask. They discuss the mystical, magical malarkey behind Palpatine’s return; how director J.J. Abrams and writer Chris Terrio are uniquely suited to</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">not</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">deliver a satisfying conclusion; the oodles of fan service; what the film’s final scene means for the legacy of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Star Wars</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">; and more. Plus, they talk about</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Baby Yoda Show</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">AKA</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mandalorian</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next: it is January 29, 2020. Paul and Arlo are discussing Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watchmen</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">for a</span> <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. I am tired of this world; these people.</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>THE BREAKDOWN</strong></p>
