About this episode

A non-spoiler discussion of the recent Rian Johnson film, touching on themes and characters without revealing plot details.

We posted this last Friday over on Patreon, but are now sharing it here for all to enjoy! This is a non-spoiler look at the recent Rian Johnson film. We do get into themes and general character discussions, but nothing about the whodunit is revealed. As a reminder: You can still subscribe to our $5 tier on Patreon, where we will still be doing period non-SNL content for paid subscribers. We will be posting several episodes during the holiday break there first, and Ryan has also started writing some SNL pieces for Patreons as well. Enjoy! https://www.patreon.com/c/NotReadyForPrimetimeSNLPodcast
