In Part 3 of their epic three-part series about the third movie in the third Star Wars trilogy, Fanboy Knight Mike and Darth Hater Jim conclude their discussion and debate about The Rise of Skywalker.
In Part 1 (fanboyandhater.podbean.com/e/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-part-1-of-3/), they focused on things Jim found good about the movie, including some cinematography and fan service, as well as how neither one of them see the movie as retconning The Last Jedi.
In Part 2 (fanboyandhater.podbean.com/e/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-part-2-of-3/), they focused on things Jim thinks are bad about the movie, including its safe and simple plot, aimless action, excessive exposition, the MacGuffin Scavenger Hunt (Sith Dagger and Sith Wayfinders), and some of its other plot problems.
In this episode, they conclude the series by discussing and debating its fake feels, the Bendemption, Force-d resonance, and its hyperbolic and anti-climatic conclusion, as well as deliver their metaphorical ratings and final thoughts. So, obviously, there will be lots of spoilers!

The discussion includes what they find the most (and least) rewatchable, and reveals the different perspectives they take while watching movies and television shows, explaining why they argue so much.

Holy Mother Forking Shirt Balls! Welcome to The Spoiler Place, where Mike and Jim take a spoiler-filled, character-driven journey through one of their favorite television shows of all time: The Good Place.
This Peabody and Hugo award-winning comedy series, created by Michael Schur and starring Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, D'Arcy Carden, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, and Manny Jacinto, inspires a lot of philosophical tangents during this episode about what it means to be a good person, why you should be a good person and, if you're not, how you can become a better person.

Mike and Jim discuss Crisis on Infinite Earths, the 2019-2020 CW/DC Arrowverse television series crossover event spanning episodes of Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, during which Mike constantly mispronounces Stephen Amell's name and overreacts as Jim constantly spoils all things Arrowverse.
Jim also spoils the comic book series of the same name that the crossover story is, in part, based on, but since those comics were published 35 years ago, he doesn't feel guilty about it.
