Legend has it that George Lucas had all copies of this Holiday Special destroyed. But who can resist a rewatch of long, uncaptioned Wookie conversations, an excess of screens, a straight-up murder, and virtual reality porn(!)? Not us!

Content warning: If it's not obvious from the title, we acknowledge the existence of sex in this episode.

"Leave Yesterday Behind" was an ABC "Sunday Night Movie"--not where one usually finds warmth and nuance. But we both came out really enjoying this love story between Carrie's spunky competitive harness racer and John Ritter's disabled former polo player. Not only is it a good movie, it got us talking about our personal experiences with disability and disability rights.

If you never thought of ex-Beatle Ringo Starr and rising star Carrie Fisher as a suitable couple, you would be right. At 44 minutes, this "movie" combines the discomfort of age-gap relationships, abusive families, the pressures of fame, and whatever "Yellow Submarine" is supposed to be. And yet...we didn't hate it?

Massive trigger warning for this episode. Domestic abuse, sexual misconduct, and misogyny abounds.

Katie and Claire love talking about Star Wars more than most things, and couldn't wait to do so again--this time on mic. Luckily, as Carrie Fisher's second-ever role, they didn't have to wait long!

Carrie Fisher's debut movie was the third-highest grossing of 1975, with four Oscar nominations and one win. So how come we've never heard of it?

A long time ago, in a basement far, far, away...Katie and Claire became one of a gazillion of young people obsessed with Star Wars. But what led them to focus on its famously troubled leading lady? The sisters discuss in their introduction episode.
