Comedian Michael Brown and certified geek Richard McBain join Shane for a full on, spoilers-are-a-go Star Wars: The Last Jedi discussion. TLJ is proving to be divisive among the fans. Did our panel love it? Hate it? Do they launch porgs into low Earth orbit for fun and profit? Who is Shane's favorite new trilogy character? Is Snoke half the man the Emperor was? Casino scene: unnecessary? Tune in for all this and more!

Box Office: 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Topping $1 Billion Today
https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2017/12/30/box-office-star-wars-the-last-jedi-has-2nd-best-3rd-friday-drop-ever-for-100m-opener/#74bade2477e2
Lucasfilm's The Last Jedi earned $19 million on its third Friday, a drop of just 23% from last Friday’s $24m day-eight gross. To wit, that’s a smaller “third Friday” drop than Force Awakens (-30%) and just slightly higher than Rogue One (-20%).
