Ep 115: It’s Star Wars, Ya See?
Step aside, Abbott & Costello! In Episode 115, hosts Alyce and Laura turn* their dumb-ss little podcast into a Vaudeville Star Wars Hour! Kinda!
- Alyce has big, albeit mysterious, May the Fourth plans!
- Vaudeville accents are attempted but Laura just kind of sounds like Jon Lovitz in A League of Their Own
- Celebrate Star Wars Day the way the Diabetes gods intended: with this sugar-infused blue milk
- Catching up on recent press for The Acolyte (GamesRadar, EW)
- If you’re mad about Star Wars entertainment being “too woke” and you’re pointing fingers at a media executive who is both a Boomer and a millionaire, you probably need to go touch some grass (The Direct via The Town podcast)
- The people who made the Tales of the Empire trailer did not have to go that hard. They did that FOR US.
- It’s almost our last Recap on Tap on The Bad Batch (SAD), but we’re going out with a bang and a lot of theories!
- Tree Gate Update and a lesson about wildlife
