2016's Final Nose Goes Rogue (One)

Lucasfilm Ltd.

Rogue One is the eighth live-action Star Wars movie. It's the first movie in the Star Wars anthology series, and its story happens between Star Wars Episodes III and IV, which is to say that it happens just before the very first Star Wars movie.

Confused yet? That's okay. We'll explain.

And then: There's a whole meme about how terrible 2016 has been. But... The Nose thinks a lot of good stuff came out of this year too, and so, this hour we spend about half of the show on our year-end, wrap-up, mega-endorsement extravaganza.

GUESTS:

  • Rebecca Castellani - Scholar of modern literature
  • John Dankosky - Executive editor of the New England News Collaborative, and host of The Wheelhouse and NEXT on WNPR
  • Pedro Soto - Chief operating officer at Space-Craft Manufacturing
