Common Room: Passionate Discussion of Pop Culture, Food, Fitness, & Fashion!

Finally! After rewatching all six films, we have seen Star Wars episode VII!! Listen in to our The Force Awakens podcast episode featuring Dave, Fitz, Debbie, and me, the ever-constant interrupter!

This The Force Awakens podcast ep is packed with analysis, comparisons to A New Hope, callbacks to previous films, fun cameos, and our love for Po Dameron.

Want to catch up on our rewatches? Here are the links!
Phantom Menace– Did CGI destroy it?
Attack of the Clones– Why is the romance unbearable? Is Padme a Strong Female Character?
Revenge of the Sith– The second best in the trilogy?
A New Hope– As good as we remember?
Empire Strikes Back– Is it really the BEST one?
Return of the Jedi- The cutest Star Wars?

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

We started our episode by discussing what we had known about the film prior to watching. Did you watch the trailers or read up on theories and speculation? Let us know in the comments!

Just like our previous rewatch episodes there will be acting and writing scores and the super fun quote review. Though we were so excited we forgot to do our impressions. Next time! ;)

Where to find our co-hosts!
Debbie – right here or on her blog The Geeky Twin!
Dave – Pop Culture Case Study and on twitter @pccasestudy

It was the Sunday where everything went wrong. 3 episodes were scheduled with 8 different guests and 6 had to back out at the last minute. It was just my luck that I found the most incredible co-hosts for our episode about Internet communities at the last minute: Kat from Mugglenet.com and Barb from Trendom.co.

Join our conversation on comrom.co:

What is your first memory of the internet?
What was your first experience with an internet community?
Are most of your friends made IRL (in real life) or online?

Last week we released our episode about Fast Fashion and The True Cost movie. This week we're releasing our episode with Annie from The Enantiomer Project.

Dr. Anne is a real-life scientist and a professor at a fancy university, but not one where there are galas every Friday. Her blog likes to present sewing patterns and projects as scientific experiments. And the results are almost always gorgeous.

Annie says any noob can learn how to sew with some practice. Get inspired to make your own clothes on our latest episode! Listen in!
