Yub Nub

Yub Nub

The Sonar Network

Yub Nub started in 2020 as a way for comedy writers and veterans of the TV/new media wars, Tim Barnes (The Tonight Show), Greg Iwinski (The Late Show, Last Week Tonight), and Jim Fagan (Comedy Central) to survive the pandemic and push back against a faction of Star Wars fandom in love with complaining about Star Wars. Three years later, it’s become a meeting place for Star Wars and media-loving comedy nerds to talk about all things Star Wars, film, and TV through the point of view of the people who make it, and lovers of all things far far away. In each episode Tim and Jim use Star Wars as their wayfinder through the entertainment industry with occasional pop-in guests who have included James Austin Johnson (SNL), Krystina Arielle (Star Wars The High Republic Show) and Felipe Torres Medina (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert).

Then, we tackle "how do you binge," plus...

Rule of 2.5 -- Ya Boiz Jim and Greg kick us off, but Tim falls out of hyperspace halfway through the episode to join in.

We cover what kind of shelving is IN and what is OUT (you heard me)

The confusing discrepancy in Ashoka's ratings... how is the show actually doing?

And we play you Tony Gilroy's incredible speech at the WGA picket lines in its entirety. ONE WAY OUT!

One of our favorite YubNub episode to date. Ya three boiz are silly and stupid and rambly, then suddenly (at about minute 50) a character from Jedi Fallen Order causes us to get super real (shout out to the new book "Burn it Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call to Change in Hollywood." And then, to close out, the most wildly ridiculous takes on Return of the Jedi's ending you've ever heard.

Also, we sing the Mad Tv theme song. Enjoy.

We break the news that Yub Nub is joining The Sonar Podcast Network and talk about seeing The Phantom Menace in theaters as part of PODATHON 2024, the fourth annual, all-day marathon livestream event benefiting MAKE-A-WISH.

Conceived by a handful of podcasters in 2020 as a way to raise money for Make-A-Wish at the height of the pandemic, Podathon has become an annual event that continues to do good as a result of the generosity of the STAR WARS fan community.

Starting May 31, you can look forward to a season of episodes about the media that influenced George Lucas in the creation of ‘Star Wars’ as well as the media George Lucas made leading up to the 1977 release of the original film.

If you like comics, collectors items, and Jim awkwardly talking to himself, this episode is for you! Plus a strike update, and we lost a Star Wars below-the-line great, but found a lost Star Wars treasure in the process.
