Lousy Beautiful Town: A Star Wars Podcast

Join us for a chill May the Fourth episode that comes out on May the Eighth as we rank our favorite Star Wars films, talk about our favorite scenes, and discuss some of the hills we’ll die on. But before that, we gotta put our fist through something and that something is that David Benioff & D.B. Weiss are terrible and shouldn’t be allowed to touch anything Star Wars. CW: Discussions of sexual assault and violence against women. Follow us on Twitter:  @LBTpod @spacejessss @abbymcecilia Send us an email: lousybeautifultownpod@gmail.com
