25-and-a-half years ago in November of 1998, Lucasfilm began a massive marketing campaign for the soon-to-be-released "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", George Lucas' ambitious continuation of his mythic saga. As they have been covering this very topic on their own podcast, I thought would be fitting to discuss this fascinating era with the marvelous Scotty Jayro and Gerry Cable from fellow Star Wars podcast The Bombadcast! Join us for a wild ride!

The long-awaited day has finally come! Star Wars: The Acolyte premiered yesterday on Disney+ and boy was it wonderful! Join me as I share my thoughts on this new chapter in the story of that galaxy far, far away...

For light and life!

In this week's installment of our show, Captain Ingle and I are joined by our special guest Ryan Payne to discuss one of the most beloved films of all time: Steven Spielberg's "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial". In this seminal classic of 80's cinema, an alien creature is accidently left behind on Earth, and forms a bond with a young boy named Elliott. Join us as we discuss our love for this masterful examination of the world through the eyes of a child, and how we as adults sometimes lose that innocent wonder. Join us as we phone home...

As of the date of this recording, we are a week away from the release of the latest Star Wars series: The Acolyte. Set 100 years before the events of the films, the new show tells the story of the Jedi investigating some dark happenings, which may reveal something far more sinister! Join me as I share some last minute thoughts on this new installment in that galaxy far, far away....

On this week's episode, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the gateway to the Gamma Quadrant at the Federation outpost Deep Space 9. In this installment, the station's crew prepare to give a diplomatic welcome the first delegation from the Gamma Quadrant, the Wadi. This new species loves games more than anything else, and before they know it, the DS9 crew are caught up in a game more perilous than they could have imagined. Join us as we go boldly!

Last week I went to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The last time I was there was four years ago. Galaxy's Edge (also known to some as Star Wars Land) had just opened at the time, and it had not yet been fully completed. I was able to attend and have a great time, but something had been missing. This time around, the experience was much more rewarding, as I was able to do more than I thought I would be able to and have some truly amazing encounters! Join me as I share my adventures!

Now that The Bad Batch finale has come and gone, many questions have arisen as to the future of these beloved characters, particularly Omega. Join me today as I speculate responsibly as to where the team at Lucasfilm may take the story now that the series has ended. Join me; It is your destiny!

On this week's installment of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 23rd century and the adventures of the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike. On this episode of Strange New Worlds, the crew is faced with an ethical dilemma when they are asked to escort a young boy and his guardians to their homeworld so that the boy may "ascend" in a special ceremony that will continue to sustain their advanced society. Captain Pike and company soon discover they are treading on morally questionable ground. Join us as we go boldly!

The day of this recording, May 19th, 2024, marks 25 years to the day since the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace! In honor of this occasion, allow me to share my feeling and memories of this monumental moment in the saga of that galaxy far, far away...

May the 4th has come again, and it's time to celebrate! Joining me today to discuss why we love that galaxy far, far away are my good friends Alberto and Oti of the Radio Rebellion Podcast! Join us as we examine the deep and profound, as well as share a laugh over the wacky and weird! Join us! It is your destiny!
