It's an Acolyte end-of-season party! Elysia and John are joined by Marilyn and Jean to talk through the entire season the only way Elysia knows how: in a gameshow format. Which characters, planets, lore, and more will be picked as the best (or sometimes) the worst of the season? What does it mean to be a David Whisperer, and who earns that title? Answers to all of the above and more inside, seasoned with extra laughs.

After you've listened, you'll find the full chart of game results here!

John joins Elysia to talk through not only his thoughts about the finale of The Acolyte, and the season as a whole – but also how the show is being received throughout the community. (And how grateful we all are to have some respectful discourse from fans.) Along the way we discuss everything from the complexities of social work to the pros and cons of that Imri Cantaros theory going around.

(Stay tuned to this feed for a spoiler-filled season wrap-up episode coming soon as well!)

Elysia and John are back to break down episode 4 of The Acolyte season 1 – “Day.” One calls it half an episode, the other the pivot point in a mirror image. Their scene-by-scene walkthrough picks out telling character moments, the most important lore, the silliest hashtags, and what the actors have said about their motivations in scenes. And then Elysia drops another non-Jedi/Sith Force-user lorebomb, mining Canon and Legends alike for some of the most unusual types of Force users in the galaxy.
