Wellington’s Wise Zone

In this episode, Wellington is joined again by guest and friend Barrett Knox, to have a different conversation surrounding some different political topics. They discuss if money in politics can be controlled, economic inflation, why gas prices are going up so fast and thoughts on the main impact that the Iran War will have. Next up, Wellington and Barrett review Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the 2015 film starring Daisy Ridley, Harrison Ford, John Boyega and Adam Driver. They discuss how this movie reinvigorated the genre and how it's aged a decade from now.
