The Acolyte
On this episode, we finally sit down to talk about the latest Disney+ Star Wars series, The Acolyte (or how sexy Asians saved Star Wars)! Guest co-host Teresa Tran joins us for the first time on a proper Good Pop to round out our panel of 3 generations of Star Wars fans as they dive deep into this series that has set the Star Wars fandom ablaze! But does it make the grade as good pop?
*note that this is a spoilercast so we will be discussing at length the big twist from the middle of the series*

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
