The Upgrade Podcast - 088 - Shaking Hands with Ghosts: Current Events, TV, Movies & More - with Chris Frascella

Episode 088 - Chris Frascella returns to the show. Len, Gary & Chris get into some serious discussion about Roe vs Wade, women’s rights, religion, Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, the morality wars and the consistent hypocrisy of the extreme right, the myth vs the reality of “Defund the Police” and “The Radical Left”, Joe Biden shaking hands with ghosts, and age in politics. From there the trio get into tv & movies with a detailed (spoiler filled) discussion about the end of Ozark (Netflix), The Dropout (Hulu), We Own This City & Winning Time (HBO Max), Halo & Picard (Paramount), DMZ (HBO Max) & content straying from the source material (including Preacher & World War Z). Finally, the conversation moves to Star Wars: the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi (Disney+), the revitalization of the Star Wars franchise through tv content, issues with the future of Star Wars content, the disconnect with the theme park attractions, (another) rant from Gary about The Last Jedi and the derailing of the franchise, a little bit about pro wrestling and Dark Side of the Ring returning to Vice, the reasons behind other franchises (Star Wars, DC, etc) failing to match the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, failed consistency in movies/tv & wrestling, and more.
