On this heat dome episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega previews (and warns about) the first debate between President Joe Biden and the Jan. 6 coup plotter and convicted felon Donald Trump.

In an (unsuccessful) attempt to escape the hellish heat, Chauncey then declares a political sanctuary and reads some kind emails from the good people who appreciate the podcast and his essays, is joyful as he recounts a story about a miracle in his neighborhood, reads part of a wonderful short story from Walter Mosley’s award-winning collection The Awkward Black Man, and honors the great recently departed titans Roger Corman and Donald Sutherland.

Heroes and greatness are everywhere: In that spirit, Chauncey DeVega also honors Colonel Edward Thomas Ryan, a closeted gay man and decorated US Army Veteran, who recently transitioned to the next plane of existence. Col. Ryan was the subject of a series of stories at the New York Times, The Guardian, and other leading publications.

On this episode of the podcast, Chauncey’s fellow Star Wars traveler and expert Mr. Bill makes an appearance. They discuss the new TV show The Acolyte, its many problems and failures of storytelling, why “representation” is not a substitute for good writing and a coherent and compelling narrative, what it means to be a real Star Wars fan, and how the Star Wars universe has gone so very wrong and if it can be salvaged.

Chauncey DeVega also shares several Star Wars TV series pitches that are much better than The Acolyte and the other recent shows and films set in that universe.

There is also a special bonus segment at the end of this week's episode of the podcast about Star Wars: The Acolyte and the anticlimactic reveal of the Sith Lord and the fifth episode of the show.
