Six Degrees of Star Wars
Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.
Six Degrees of Star Wars
Ep. 69: Jupiter Ascending, Credibility Plummeting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ah, Jupiter Ascending, the Wachowskis' movie about an ordinary person suddenly being awakened into the reality of an urban fantasy and learning that they are the most specialest person in said reality, except this time the protagonist is a woman and also bees can detect royalty and the love interest is a wolf-hybrid cyborg... okay, do you think if we remind Paramount this movie exists, they'll stop trying to buy Warner Bros?
