Episode 153: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
This week, Morgan and Gavia dive into the year's biggest blockbuster catastrophe, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, starring Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, and Oscar Isaac. They attempt to figure out what the hell went wrong, from an abysmal script to uninspired direction to a dire press tour. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong... and Overinvested is here to survey the damage.
