Scarif Scuttlebutt Podcast

We have a great discussion with Rob of the Jedi Temple Archives Podcast. Star Wars animation, how does that medium stack up to the overall lore of the franchise? With so many shows in the animated realm, what place does it have in Star Wars storytelling? Which shows are fan favorites and what are some favorite story arcs? Join the discussion as we also feature some listener voicemail from friends....

Join our celebration. The Scarif Scuttlebutt celebrates 4 years in the podcast world. Back in 2019 we spoke with fans at Star Wars Celebration and we're continuing that tradition in talking with fans, this time at C2E2, Chicago's ultimate geek fan get together. Ro and Nicole set out to walk the floor and recap all the exciting stuff that they experienced. Panels, fans, interviews, and more. So man...

Another #QuickCuts episode and we've got some doozy topics! Join me as I discuss some hot takes with Tina, the @TheMemeQueen27 herself in a segment we called Touching Grass. How does bias play into our likes and dislikes of stuff, and do we all need to go out and touch grass once in a while? What say you? Then I'm joined by @acpovcrew talking about stuff that doesn't belong in Star Wars like zippe...

Straight from #ScarifLive this past weekdn Chicago enjoyed some awesome cosplay and sci fi / fantasy fun at McCormick Place. We had tons of fun sharing experiences with friends like Nicole, Greg, Todd, Trent and all the fans we spoke to. We sat down on Saturday to talk about our experiences at Reed Pop's annual nerd event in the Windy City. And since this was also Star Wars Celebration Weekend, we...

I know we're a little behind but we never did a Solo: A Star Wars Story episode and we wanted to fix it. Whether you feel it's a story we didn't ask for or it suffered from Star Wars fatigue or lack of marketing, does Solo deserve the notoriety it got? What did you think of the movie? Did you watch it in theaters? Well, we are discussing all of it, what worked, what didn't and our take on the seco...

Join Ro and Melanie on a journey to the 25th Century. After having done a discussion with the gang of the Science Fiction Remnant Podcast, I felt I needed to do our own deep dive. Who better to explore the awesome science fiction television of the 70s and 80s than Patreon supporter Melanie Marquita. Yes, awesome sci-fi TV. I said it! Melanie can attest to the fact that it was a great time to be a...

Join me for part two of a bonus series called My Wife Hates Sci Fi, a failed attempt to start a podcast show with the Mrs. We only made it to two episodes because...well, my wife hates sci fi and I couldn't bare to put her through more. But these two shows really were a lot of fun to hear her takes on two very geeky movies. Not only does she hate sci-fi, but techno electronic music as well, (altho...

Check out this special BONUS filler episode of the Scarif Scuttlebutt Podcast. Yeah, I said it. A few years ago I started a show with Mrs Ro. She hates sci-fi so I made her watch some. We started with Guardians of the Galaxy because she loves music. I thought this could ease her in. Boy was I wrong. Check out this discussion that will make you laugh every five minutes guaranteed. And by the way, t...

We discuss our favorite sci fi movie tropes. Sky's the limit but sometimes we keep going back to some classic plot points that involve some familiar tropes. What are some of your favorites? Join Ro and guest Anthony from the Sci Fi Wise Guys on a deep, (and sometimes not so deep) discussion about some tropes. Thank you for listening.

Not our usual jam, but fun all the same. Join Ro and a panel of Trekkies, or is it Trekkers on a special night of tomfoolery from the Delta Quadrant. Go where no Scarif has gone before.

Two nerds and a podcast! Join Ro and the most-listened-to man in coastal Georgia radio, Scott Ryfun talk about the stuff that keeps us up at night and continues to excite our imagination. Well, we started this episode out wanting to talk about some of our favforite caped characters in Star Wars and after a few minutes, that train just went off the tracks. Discovery is one fun aspect of creating co...

Straight from Youtube, our ScarifLive audio with guest Records of the Republic. Wade and Ro talk about their relationship with Star Wars as fans and as content creators. #ScarifLive #StarWars #Fandom #Red5Network As fans of Star Wars we have lived through many things. Growing up in a sub group of fandom has taught us much. As Padawans we enjoy the fantasy of a galaxy far, far away, but does that f...

This week's show is a #QuickCuts episode and we've got some great topics. First we tackle the question of movies as art or product. We get some help discussing that from Sean of @ExtraStarWars. With TEN Fast and Furious movies, are movies like this simply created to sell tickets? How do you tell the art apart from the product. Let's chat. We have some listener voicemail and tweets we'll be featuri...

Another fun episode where we ask 5 Questions... This week we welcome The Junkman, this way we distract him from trolling accounts all over the web. We'll at least get an hour of peace and quiet. We have another set of questions that will astound and surprise you and answers that will amaze you as well. We love stumping each other on the show with these unrehearsed questions. No filter and uncut. C...

Another Crossover Connection with everyone's favorite card squad dealer, Greg from @RebelBaseCard podcast. Greg did a phenomenal job covering ScarifCon2022 that his recent episode drop warranted us sharing that show with OUR audience. Greg's help is so appreciated during the event, and we love collaborating with him. He's not a stranger to the Scarif Podcast as we've spoken to him and other local...

The second show of this week, we're talking about some movies from 2016. Why 2016? Well, Rogue One came out that year and we wanted to see what else was around. PLUS, movie sequels that sucked. Many times producers and studios want to keep that buzz alive, but sometimes...they really shouldn't. I'm looking at you Speed2. What are some of Hollywood's worse sequels? Tune in and see what we say. Give...

Ro and Andrew take a stab at our first part discussion on artificial intelligence in movies and television.

This QuickCuts show has it all, and we're glad you're listening. We have two topics that caused a stir on the socials last week. We asked how do you feel about colorizing old movies or otherwise altering them? You gave us an earful. But remember that Mr Lucas did JUST that with HIS films, so it can't be all that bad, right? Well, we got thoughts. Join the first half of the show as Chanty and Ro ta...

Before the Scarif Scuttlebutt I was Nova Mortis and had another podcast. I'm dropping this BONUS episode from before Scarif back in 2018. I reviewed Charles Soule Vader run and the very highly rated Vader 25. So many surprise and insight from our interpretation of the visuals. This episode was my MOST LISTENED to show back in the day. Let's see if we can match it here. Thanks for listening and we'...
