Episode 63: Star Wars Episode IV- A New Hope (with Sarah Shachat)

The great Sarah Shachat returns to Pairing to discuss the film that started it all: Episode IV- A New Hope (aka, the original Star Wars). Sarah, Emma, and Winston share their thoughts, love, and occasional criticism of this iconic film, and talk about how it came to be, and the alternative universe we would be in if Bill Murray had been cast as Han Solo. Plus: Wookiepedia, hot takes on Joseph Cambell, intellectual zeniths, inevitable Lord of the Rings references, and the wines of Tunisia (or Tatooine). Follow Sarah on Twitter @sarahshachat, and make sure to listen to No Bad Ideas, Zero Hours, and Wolf 359.  Find Us Online: If you enjoy Pairing, follow us on social media and tell your friends!
