Classic Disney Hits Different | Rise of the Podcast #373 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week is a fast-moving mix of Star Wars, gaming, family stories, and pop-culture tangents. The crew talks Star Wars: Zero Company, Pokémon, streaming frustrations, and a Pokémon mod for Stardew Valley, while Jeremy and Kara share some very funny stories about Chip.

Plus, we look ahead to Twin Cities Con, talk retro games and giant flashlights, and pick apart a questionable list of the best movies of the 21st century. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on w

Rise of the Podcast goes live from Excalibur Con!
