VideoETA 41: This isn't your father's Star Wars

EThe VideoETA podcast is back -- and for a good reason. We reconvene after a three-month hiatus to talk about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Caution: this is a very spoiler-heavy discussion.

They dive into all the possibilities and implications of this new Star Wars offshoot. As if that weren't enough sci-fi, John and Tim then review the Alex Garland film Ex Machina.
