Needless Things episodes:

May 13, 2020 Execute Chapter 66 - Master and Apprentice
The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.

We got a little out of order in our excitement to post the Ahsoka episode. Master and Apprentice explores the difficult relationship between Qui-Gon Jinn and his young padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi as they try to save a planet and princess in peril. Along the way we also learn more about Qui-Gon and his former master Count Dooku. Join us for a thrill ride into far off space with terrorists, jewel thieves, and galactic politics. Okay so maybe the politics are so thrilling, but it's still a great book.

Your host Dave teams up with Dragon Con luminary Kristian Allen and Noel Wood from The Finest to look back at the formative years of Hasbro’s GI Joe: A Real American Hero toy line!
Launching in 1982, the update of the classic GI Joe toy line was a defining trademark of 80s pop culture. Bolstered by a comic book and an animated series, the Real American Hero line remained a constant in toy aisles for over a decade and is still sought after by collectors to this day. Featuring an unparalleled collection of figures, vehicles, playsets, and accessories, this line is a landmark in toy history.
Listen in as Dave, Noel, and Kristian share how they got recruited, some of their favorite missions, and general memories of the first four years of this legendary toy line and pop culture phenomenon on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

April 29, 2020 Execute Chapter 66 - Ahsoka
The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.

We were all heartbroken when Anakin's padawan, Ahsoka Tano, walked away from the Jedi order at the "end" of The Clone Wars animated series. Then we got to be happy again when she showed up on Rebels, but what was she doing for all that time in between? The novel Ahsoka gives us a lot of those answers. Join us as we explore the novel, and get pumped about the new last season of The Clone Wars.

Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films!
In their efforts to bring you fresh, new episodes every single Friday the Needless Commentary Team utilized unfamiliar and potentially unstable technology in order to produce an all-new Needless Commentary!
Billy Madison is one of the best-known, most often quoted comedy films of all time. It’s ridiculous and absurd and like no life anyone has ever lived. As such it seemed like the perfect escape from the current state of the world.

April 10, 2020 Needless Things Podcast 312 – James Bond with Mike Gordon
Mike Gordon returns to the Needless Things Podcast to discuss the world’s most famous secret agent! Which seems… counterproductive.
This conversation hits on various facets of the superspy franchise – the movies, the toys, the books, and more. Bond has spawned a multitude of different merchandising pursuits, but perhaps not as many as you'd expect!
Listen is as Mike and Dave determine which Bond movie title is the greatest:
The Man with the Gordon Gun
Tomorrow Never Gordons
The Gordon Who Loved Me
GordonEye
A View to A Gordon
Gordonfinger
Gordons Are Forever
Gordon of Solace
Gordonpussy
Or even the renegade production
Never Say Gordon Again!
on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!
