We talk auteurism, fan culture, personhood, and Hollywood this week. We then discuss our favorite fictional universes before a discussion of what has us fired up in pop culture. And finally, Alex reveals her host pick for next week; what is it, you ask? Well, tune in to find out. Oh by the way, do you think he means old Ben Kenobi?
