We've been waiting with baited breath, and now, it's finally here. Fabian reviews Solo: A Star Wars Story. Is it any good? Or is 90% of Han's characterisation just based on Harrison Ford's charisma? Does multi-hyphenate genius Donald Glover deliver? And why were their only 9 people at last night's screening?? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Another glorious Thursday. Including chats with Chris Fowlie from NORML, a great cocktail thanks to Lovebucket & Ableforths Rumbullion. Steve Newall is a dissenting voice against Solo.
