The Arkham Sessions, hosted by Dr. Andrea Letamendi and Brian Ward, is a weekly podcast dedicated to the psychological analysis of pop culture, including Batman: The Animated Series, Steven Universe, the MCU, Star Wars, and Doom Patrol. Nostalgic, humorous, and even a little educational, each episode promises to lend some insight into the heroes, villains, and classic stories of the Dark Knight and more!

The Arkham Sessions, Ep. 204 – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Yoda once said that anger, fear, and aggression can easily “flow” within you if you’re not careful. “If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will,” Yoda warned. But was he right?? Sort of.

In our latest episode, we cover the film, The Rise of Skywalker, and talk about battling tough emotions stemming from intergenerational trauma, thwarted belongingness, and family pressure.
