How Star Wars Is It? - Not Really a Star Wars Podcast artwork

This is not really a Star Wars podcast. On each episode of this important and definitive review podcast, Josiah and Mike examine a movie, a book, or literally anything else, and give it a rating--not of how good it is...but of how STAR WARS it is. Tune in every Monday and May the Fourth be with you.
