Send us a text or voice message We spend several hours talking about not only one of the greatest Star Wars series ever made, but perhaps one of the greatest TV series ever made as we have a wrap up show to discuss Season Two of Andor in totality. We have a couple guests joining us as well for the festivities and we talk about favorite character arcs, which season of the show we prefer, and the co...

Send us a text or voice message Its all over but the crying. In a very fitting, poignant last story arc we follow Cassian in the period just prior to Rogue One and find out what happens to everyone from this amazing series. We do our best to discuss some of theories, easter eggs, connections, and details of the final arc. We even take a victory lap for one of our predictions. Manny Bothans went fo...

Send us a text or voice message Wow. Just wow. The third story arc from Andor Season 2 was a tour de force of tension, pacing, and character narratives colliding in all the best ways to give us 2.5 hours of arguably the best Star Wars we’ve ever seen. We would need triple the time to properly encapsulate everything, but we try our best to add commentary and talk about all the details for Episodes...

Send us a text or voice message If we were back last week, we are ALL THE WAY BACK this week. Wow what a story arc. This week on the podcast we discuss Episodes 4-6 of Season Two of Andor. We won’t tease tease you or write some BS description to get hate clicks, no this 3 episode arc was pure cinematic perfection. There are important character beats, some economical smart plot advancement and tens...

Send us a text or voice message We are so back! Back with a new season of the podcast, a new season of Andor to discuss, and a new approach to the amount of vulgarity on the show. One of those statements is a lie, we’ll let you decide which is which. On the first episode of the new season we discuss the first story arc of Andor Season two which is comprised of the first three episodes; One Year La...

Send us a text or voice message We’re about to blow a giant hole right through the hype machine! This week on the show we kick off our Andor Season 2 coverage with a preview of the upcoming season. We talk about potential cameos, theories, prognostications, and we put our money into the death pool. If you want to know the moral to the package, and learn how to play glory hole or toilet bowl, then...

Send us a text or voice message Sometimes an episode title is so out there and wacky, yet in some way it encapsulates the last two hours of your life that you just have to roll with it. This week is a freeballing free-for-all that mostly centers around non Star Wars topics, but we somehow manage to come back around long enough to maintain our Star Wars podcast cards. You can tune in for all that n...

Send us a text or voice message On this week’s episode we close the book on May The Farce Be With You. We talk about our favorite and least favorite parts of this experiment and call out the parodies we’d recommend to Star Wars fans. Of course there are also several detours of the musical variety, but funny enough most of them have ties back to Star Wars! Whether you’re Bi-Fi or Sci-Fexual you are...

Send us a text or voice message To close out our May The Farce Be With You month we cover the Granddaddy of all Star Wars parodies, the Mel Brooks classic Spaceballs! We have an obligation and a duty to discuss the film that gave so many quotable lines to an entire generation. Don’t get your schwartz caught in your zipper because Spaceballs are people too, and you might just find out who produces...

Send us a text or voice message This week we kick May The Farce Be With You into hyperspace as we discuss the road trip, heist, comedy, Star Wars parody film Fanboys! We learn the tragedy of Darth Weinstein the Unwise, chat about the height of internet nerdom on aintitcoolnews, and we rub that Neapolitan Cinema all over everything! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join th...

Send us a text or voice message May The Farce Be With You continues on as we discuss the three Family Guy Star Wars episodes; Blue Harvest, Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, and It’s A Trap. Do these episodes not work for the uninitiated Family Guy viewers, or do they stand alone in the annals of Star Wars parody-dom? To find the answer you better prepare flowers for Alderaan and fix you...

Send us a text or voice message This week we kick off our May The Farce Be With You Month! Our opening episode is a collection of shorts, skits, segments, and episodes that capture the spirit of Star Wars in myriad comedy styles. We meet muses of both George Lucas and Darth Vader, there is the true story of how Ponda Baba lost his arm, and the infamous Intercontinental Ham Salad Job. Turn up your...

We nominate our favorite Star Wars spoofs and parodies and program out the next four weeks of content. We ended up doing one episode of all shorts, one that consists of three TV episodes, and the final two will each be a different feature film. Tune in to hear the full r...

Send us a text or voice message Every now and then you need to stop and take a deep breath to calm yourself from all the crazy events in the world. We do the Force Insensitive equivalent of that as we talk about a relaxing topic— politics! Galactic Politics to be precise. We’ll cover dictators, emperors, the ruling class, and the rebels who fight against it all. It’s the fun kind of politics! We a...

Send us a text or voice message This week we’re hand delivering a number two directly to your ear holes! Wait you thought we meant… no we mean the second installment of our Star Wars live action shows tier ranking! In this one we finished ranking the last 4 seasons and then we do the tough work of finalizing our tiers and making the tough decisions to move certain shows up or down. Turn up your he...

Send us a text or voice message This week we finally get around to doing a tier ranking of all the seasons of the Star Wars live action shows! Although… we didn’t finish. We got halfway through and realized we should dedicate another episode to this effort. BUT we can guarantee you there is twice as much Star Wars talk as there was last week! We can’t wait to see Oliver Stone’s Plo-Koon while sitt...

Send us a text or voice message We interrupt your regular scheduled offensive Star Wars Podcast for something a little different. You are about to listen to an episode that was the product of necessity. Our scheduled episode has been postponed since two hosts were MIA this week. We called a late audible and decided to discuss whatever came up and of course that led us to some weird places, but the...

Send us a text or voice message That was a fun ride while it lasted! So fun that we want to run it back as we discuss Season One of Skeleton Crew in its entirety. We discuss what worked especially well, how the show lived up to expectation, and perhaps some future hopes and dreams! You’ll likely want to wear your battle droid bandolier and pass on the sourdough circumcision if its offered to you....

Send us a text or voice message It wasn’t about the treasure, but instead the memories we made along the way. Or in our case, the lewd jokes, groan-inducing comments and occasional insightful observation. We’re a bit sad that we already need to say goodbye to the Skeleton Crew as we discuss the season (hopefully) finale S01E08: The Real Good Guys. If you’re just a Modern Day Lumpy then you might w...

Send us a text or voice message Our journey aboard the Onyx Cinder is nearing its end as we discuss the penultimate episode with S01E07: We’re Gonna Be in So Much Trouble. Jod goes down a very dark path and makes one of the most shocking heel turns in Star Wars history! We also discuss theories on the upcoming finale and the inevitable Snowball spinoff series where he teams up with the Anzellans t...

Send us a text or voice message Sometimes a show can be short on plot but still make a massive impact in the overall narrative tapestry. That was very much the case in Skeleton Crew: S01E06: Zero Friends Again. There were some beautiful character beats that drew us closer than ever to the team as they near a showdown with the pirate crew on At Attin. We dig in and give you some insight into the ch...

Send us a text or voice message What is a good pirate adventure without a secret booby trapped pirate lair? Well we get all that and more in Skeleton Crew S01E05: You Have a Lot to Learn About Pirates! We dissect, disassemble, and discuss the episode in its entirety. There are some cool reveals and some great character moments that continue to push this series forward in a satisfying way. So give...

Send us a text or voice message Have you ever heard the Legend of Kapusniak? Can’t blame you, it’s a little known tale. Let’s just say it involves paying respect to the Jolly Rancher and stuffing some peanuts up your trunk. Intrigued now? Well tune in to this week’s episode to learn about this and much more than you could possibly ever want to know as we dissect, derail, and discuss Skeleton Crew...

Send us a text or voice message Sometimes Star Wars can still bring out that child-like sense of wonder and adventure from our cold jaded old hearts. Skeleton Crew S01E03: Very Interesting, as an Astrogation Problem is one such example. We dive into the latest episode in the series and break down the episode and discuss some of the hidden gems and theories around At Attin. Please don’t be a big ha...
