Plumbing the Death Star

In which our heroes open the fridge, consider exercise, and decide teleportation is much easier. We discuss Joel Duscher’s patented Mutant Bird Theory, the X-Mansion patented Food-Ball, and how unlike a school Xavier's School for Gifted Students really is. Jackson can't imagine Scott Summers stopping in for a sneaky Maccas run, Zammit discovers he smoked cigarettes wrong, and Duscher decides to ed...

In which our heroes become scientists, blast a spider with radiation, and instantly move on.

Jackson would rather not be put on the S.Q.U.I.D Project, Zammit expresses his issues with Symbiotes, Mr Sunday Movies wonders why the military already had a gobli...

In which our heroes get hooked on a feeling, get high on believing and try to figure out the identity of Peter Quill’s father. We look at the potential of DCs Hawkman swinging by, the rather selective colour palette of Marvel’s aliens and whether or not Mama Quill banged a bird. Jackson doesn't know enough about the Marvel Universe to make a reasonable guess, Zammit uses his extensive knowledge to...

In which our heroes succumb to the Dark Side, give into our anger and with each passing moment make ourselves more our master’s servant and almost immediately start plotting to overthrow him, which makes us wonder why do Siths even take apprentices. We discuss the Sith's lack of foresight, Anakin’s poor grasp of the English language, and Yoda's unfortunate swamp brain. Jackson needs all Star Wars...

In which our heroes stand next to a literal god, cower behind a green behemoth and get inspired by the embodiment of the best of humanity while wondering why is Hawkeye in the Avengers? We try to figure out S.H.I.E.L.D's hiring policies, discuss a comic book PSA about bullying, and get all flustered thinking about Captain America. Jackson attempts to put together an All Olympic Avengers Initiative...

In which our heroes get seduced by Dracula, go for a long walk by the swamp with the Gilman and enjoy a moonlit picnic with the Wolfman while we wonder which Hammer Movie Monster would make the best boyfriend. We discuss the issues with sleeping next to a man who is more hair than man and weigh up the pros and cons of having an undead boyfriend who's been around for a millennia or an undead boyfri...

In which our heroes take the monorail down to the seedy underbelly of Gotham, pay their respects at Crime Alley and watch Batman straight up clock a guy all the while wondering who exactly is the true hero of Gotham? Jackson derails the whole episode by stating that it’s the Penguin, Zammit encourages him and Duscher just doesn’t put up with any of his bullshit. We discuss: the hassle that would b...

In which our heroes gather our finances, register our ABN and completely ignore any and all tax obligations as we try and decipher which Disney Princess would be the best to open a business with. We wonder how quickly snowmen would ask for a Union, try and decide the price of hot fruit, and lead some poachers to the Pridelands. Jackson confuses a mother with a daughter, Zammit treats magic like a...

In which our heroes sit down in the barbers chair, ask for braids and open an old copy of Journey into Mystery as we question how Thor gets his hair cut. We discuss Lex Luther’s hair envy, Ben Grim's little shorts and the all encompassing power of the Z-Men. Jackson gifts everyone with brilliant but irrelevant powers, Zammit is a fan of the sneaky mullet, and Duscher just wishes everyone would lis...

In which our heroes turn on the Truman Show watch him awkwardly navigate through puberty, strain through his first haemorrhoid and mourn the fake death of his fake father all the while wondering how everyone is okay with this. We discuss the 50% chance of Truman wanting to Batman water, the secret Mole-People living under the Truman set, and the Media saturation implied by a TV show watched by the...

In which our heroes open up their toy box, regress to their early days and are filled with childlike wonder as they discuss the sentience level in Toy Story. We look at the existential moment toys realise what they are, whether or not falling over is learned behaviour and just how many seemingly inanimate objects are internally screaming. Jackson wonders how sex toys cope, Zammit worries for toys...

In which our heroes line up, hold out their wrists, and let a bunch of Jedi check their blood as we ask why isn't midi-chlorian testing mandatory. We look at the dangers of mid-chlorian filled moss, the potential of Jedi blood transfusions and the seemingly unnecessary rules surrounding Sith numbers. Jackson discovers he has only seven midi-chlorians, Zammit is pretty sure the Jedi are a cult, and...

In which our heroes don’t turn up to the studio, leave Duscher by himself, take a week off and lazily upload something from our past. We laugh, we cry, we avoid looking at Duscher directly in the face and wonder how we ever piece an episode together. Jackson just wants everyone to know where incest falls on the awful scale, Zammit patiently waits it out and Duscher just wants to get the intro righ...

In which our heroes come together for one last job, find friends in unfamiliar places and devise a master plan to save Christmas in Plumbing the Death Star Presents: A Christmas Heist.

Jack...

In which our heroes pass their O.W.L.S, get a solid D+ on their N.E.W.T.S and wonder just how poorly Hogwarts prepared them for the real wizarding world.

Jackson dreams of being a football star, Zammit wants to know which of his teachers are wer...

In which our heroes fail to exhibit any magical tendencies, are barred from attending Hogwarts, and become janitors as we wonder where Squibs fit into the Harry Potter Universe.

Jackson wonders how many Hermiones there are, Zammit gets existential about paintings, a...

In which our heroes get on our Nimbus 2000s, let the golden snitch slip through our fingers and get hit by a bludger while while wondering who thought Quidditch was a good idea? We look at the proud sport of Boulderhead, the problem of height, and the danger inherent in using cleaning equipment as sporting equipment. Jackson accuses Madame Hooch of having a drinking problem, Zammit wants to introd...

In which our heroes lock themselves in chains, try to avoid the dementors, and serve out their sentence, whilst asking what are the ethical implications of Azkaban. In part three of our seven part exploration of the Harry Potter Universe we look at the best ways to capture wizards, the job possibilities of a dementor, and the frankly incompetent justice system in the magical world. Jackson tries t...

Jackson thinks the Weaslys would enjoy Catholicism, Zammit doesn’t...

Jackson gets vomited on instead of s...

In which our heroes defend Crystal Lake, wage a Dream War, aim our missiles at a Godzilla and decide which movie monsters they could take in a fight.

Jackson defends his home against the notorious toilet ghoul, Zoe just straight up commits cold blooded murder, Zammit attempts to drown...

In which our heroes don’t care that it’s bigger on the inside, aren’t impressed with how many parsecs you made the Kessel Run in and don’t want to deal with that mutant problem on Earth 616 because there are better fictional universes to live in. We look at the all powerful nature of dance magic, the problem of changing history, and wonder if it's better to be Tom Hanks or just live in the same un...

In which our heroes crash land on earth, get corporate, call themselves Clarke and act like a bunch of Kents while wondering why Superman find Lois Lane Attractive. We look at Kryptonian evolution, make an effort to get our heads around genetic attraction, attempt to rationalise forming an emotional emotional connection with an alien and struggle to imagine making love with a chimp. Jackson is obs...

In which our heroes plug ourselves back in to the Matrix, order a steak, bend all the restaurant’s cutlery and wonder why this computer simulation was programmed to have poverty.

Jackson wonders what the robots want with a...
