Proof that you can’t keep a good Star Wars man down, Riley Blanton of The Star Wars Report (and prior to that The Bothan Report) has been away from fandom for a while, but he’s back with Stephen Kent of Beltway Banthas to bring us Geeky Stoics, analysing ‘popular movies, TV shows, and books. Fans of franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, and Batman will find weekly content that connects pop culture to real-life lessons and Stoic philosophy’.

From the creative minds behind the Star Wars Report and Beltway Banthas, comes an exciting evolution in pop culture and philosophical exploration – Geeky Stoics. This rebranding signifies a unification of diverse platforms, including newsletters, podcasts, and YouTube content, under one dynamic banner.

Geeky Stoics, now at https://geekystoics.substack.com/, continues the mission of its predecessor, “This Is The Way,” by offering insightful analyses of popular movies, TV shows, and books. Fans of franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, and Batman will find weekly content that connects pop culture to real-life lessons and Stoic philosophy.

The brand brings together Riley Blanton of the Star Wars Report and Stephen Kent from Beltway Banthas, offering a unique blend of entertainment and insight.

One of their recent highlights includes Stephen’s talk from NC Comicon Durham, an engaging discourse on empathy in society, inspired by his book, “How The Force Can Fix The World.” This and other video essays can be found on the Geeky Stoics YouTube channel.
