October was full of great moments for the culture. From albums from the likes of Bon Iver and Solange, to videos from A$AP Mob and Macklemore, all the way to new trailers for Star Wars and Wolverine. We've highlighted some of the best drops over the month and now we're ready to crown the best album, movie trailer, and music video for the month of October.
Rogue One, despite not having some of the traditional Star Wars pillars, still puts together fantastic world building, engaging characters, and some of the most iconic moments I've ever seen. It's gritty and impactful in a way I've never felt from the series before and is a contender for my favorite Star Wars movie. A more than worthy addition to the Star Wars lore.
Check out some of this weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, John Wick: Chapter 2, Pirates of the Caribbean, Power Rangers and many more.
We're back with the first new show of 2018 and we open things up by taking care of some housecleaning, discussing our holidays and resolutions for the new year, then movie into impressions of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the backlash Dave Chappelle is facing and whether we think society is too easily offended. Then we end things talking about shows and movies we've been watching over the holidays and if Oprah is a bit of a hypocrite.
Looking back at the first five years of the marriage between Disney and Star Wars reveals a largely positive coupling. Not every move or decision they've made concerning the franchise has been universally loved and there's always the concern of oversaturation, but at any rate, the return of Star Wars has been welcome, and not only because there isn’t a Jar Jar Binks in sight. It’s just plain better to have Star Wars in our lives than not.
