In Episode 37 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Rob fanboys out to the reveal that Star Wars: Episode VIII will be titled The Last Jedi. What does it all mean, and how will writer/director Rian Johnson’s film build toward the trilogy’s conclusion? Then, Rob reviews Oscar frontrunner La La Land — starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone — before delving into an in-depth look at this year’s Academy Award nominations. Who will take home the gold, and will the show manage to keep casual viewers awake this year? The answers are coming!

We’re excited to hear your feedback as the show continues to evolve. As usual, the podcast does feature explicit language and, as such, is best considered NSFW.

Thanks for listening!
