    B/S/R: CELEBRATING KENOBI

    B/S/R: CELEBRATING KENOBI

    We’re back together in the same room doing the pod for the first time in 3 years. That's right Alex, Steve & Cisco are recording in the same room.
    And to celebrate such a monumental occasion The Patron Saint of Star Wars news dropped all kinds of Star Wars nuggets in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
    Before we get in to a classic B/S/R Star Wars News breakdown the boys catch up. Discuss their thoughts on Dr. Strange and somehow finally talk about the latest season of Cobra Kai. So, if you don't want to hear about any of that, just skip ahead like 20minutes.
    Keep an eye on our social media as we will be announcing some Star Wars Celebration Anaheim Exclusive Pins that we will be giving away while attending. So if you see us come say hi.

    As always thank you for listening and supporting the show. If you want to pick up some B/S/R swag head on over to www.blackseriesrebels.com.

DarthXMaul ,

This Podcast is the best pop culture Podcast

This is my favorite podcast. I love how they’ve branched out beyond just Star Wars and are now discussing all kinds of pop culture. The hosts Steve and Alex are intelligent and interesting without being condescending or know it alls. Alex has horribly TLJ opinions but I’m willing to overlook it because everything else is perfect. 5 forks.

RRRRAAAAADDDDDD

DirtyJerms ,

First time listening 👎🏻

12/17 was my first listen to this podcast and it will definitely be the LAST! This is random garbage and nothing to do with the BLACK SERIES
Mumbling and bumbling about coffee for WAY too long! 😒
