On this, the 188th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a pleasant diversion away from typical Star Wars talk to interview New Orleans filmmaker Derek Bridges about his debut film, "The Man in the Red Beret." The group dives into some of the intricacies of what goes into making a movie, waxes poetic on the City of New Orleans and all of its colorful characters, and even to relate it back to Star Wars fandom, the group discusses what we can learn from people's fandoms or passions ... be it for chess or Star Wars or what have you.
