Heather may have the world’s most unique perspective on Star Wars, so we’re diving into a galaxy far, far away with Rogue One! We talk about Heather’s relationship to Star Wars (you will never guess which Star Wars content she’s watched), talk a little bit about the TV show Andor, and talk a lot about the famously troubled production of Rogue One. Count your midichlorians, because this episode will go the parsecs!

Bless your beautiful podcast-listening hide, wherever you might be! In this episode, Heather shows Dan the classic 1954 musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Has the movie aged well as a subversive look at relationships and gender dynamics, or is it wildly problematic? Spoiler alert: it’s the second one, but are the songs at least any good? Find out what Dan thinks about the movie the American Film Institute ranked as one of the top 25 best musicals in this hilarious episode of Blind Spots & Second Thoughts! (And, if you’re in the mood for a drinking game, take a shot every time Dan says, “feral gingers”)

We continue Heather’s journey watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time with 2011’s Thor, featuring the introduction of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston to the MCU. Is the movie worthy of the power of Thor, or is it mid enough to be banished to Midgard? Why doesn’t Heather recognize Anthony Hopkins, and what other random actor WILL she recognize? Find out in this episode!
