Youtini Court: Book Rankings on Trial - The Living Force Ep 225

This week, we share the story of how Charles got us all into his obsession with the Miami Heat! We go through our histories as sports fans, why not everyone needs to love basketball, and how Caitlin Clark is poised to give the WNBA its biggest breakthrough in history. Even though we all met through Star Wars, we have loved this evolution into sports, and hopefully we're able to bring those words closer and closer in the years to come!

This week we celebrate May the 4th by going through our Star Wars State of the Union! What are our favorite Star Wars projects? How can the franchise learn from the success of Dune? How much does Corey really know about goat cheese? (a lot). Come enjoy the upcoming holiday with us as we shaer what Star Wars means to us after a very long year!

This week we dive into the idea of starting new hobbies as we get older. Why is it easier than ever before? How do online communities make new obsessions even more fun? And what in the world does Wes have in his closet? We answer all those questions, dive into the details of Corey's sim rig, and figure out which new hobbies are we trying out next!

In this episode of The Youtini Show, we explore the evolving legacy of the Star Wars prequels, tracing their journey from widespread criticism to beloved classics.

"Hello there!" It's been a good 2 whole months since our last upload and we'd love to share some quick updates about ourselves and our progress on The Living Force. Big changes are happening and we'd love to let you know what's coming your way!

Since 2019 The Living Force has been delivering our take on Star Wars stories and content to help nerds everywhere dive deeper into the expanded universe. We've grown over the years with audio podcasts, live video, and recorded content and now there's a new horizon to explore. The TLF crew will reflect back on early podcasts, award shows, various hurdles we've overcome, and what we'll miss the most about the current iteration of The Living Force. Corey, Charles, Eric, and Wes are stepping away from the podcast for now but a new studio will emerge in the future. We can't wait for you to join us!

We have some amazing changes in the Youtini pipeline and TLF is progressing into a brand new format. The Living Force has been coming to you LIVE for over 3 years, and we love hanging out with our Star Wars family each and every week. A new schedule is headed your way but don't think we are going anywhere; it's going to be BIGGER and BETTER than ever!

Star Wars Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade by Delilah S. Dawson will be featured in this edition of Youtini's Roundtable series. We'll discuss how we consumed the story, the character and her importance to Star Wars, and the overall execution of the novel.
