This episode Evan welcomes Star Wars fanatic, pop culture maven and fellow Great Neck, Long Island native Spencer Jawitz. After the initial Great Neck nostalgia, Spencer and Evan break down how each of them raved about the new Running Man movie starring Glen Powell. From the Easter eggs to the messaging, Spencer shares why this movie hit the mark and how he has a connection to cast member Katy O’Brian!
Then they dived into everything Star Wars as Spencer is the co-founder of Virtual Cantina Network (VCN), an online community of Star Wars fans over 100,000 strong! Spencer then gives a primer of how all the additional Star Wars content fits in with the theatrical releases. He also recalls his visit to George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch and a big upcoming announcement of Star Wars convention in Los Angeles in 2027.
Spencer also mentions how his passion for Star Wars has supplanted his involvement with pro wrestling. However, that didn’t stop him and Evan from talking WWE’s TKO era, an upcoming Wrestlemania in Saudi Arabia, John Cena’s retirement tour and LA Knight.
Get ready for an episode chalk-full of entertaining and insightful takes that make it less awkward, but more geeky.
