Pod Wars

This week we're wrapping up our discussion on "SOLO: A Star Wars Story". There's much to love about this film, like the Millennium Falcon, the Kessel Run, and Lando. We also wrap up the episode explaining the repercussions The Last Jedi had on SOLO and the future of the Star Wars franchise. Join us for an hour of entertainment on POD WARS!

Han, Chewwy, and Lando gang up again for the origin of story of Han Solo! We discuss the performance of Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover as they play iconic Star Wars characters and talk about the enjoyable moments from this film.

This podcast bonanza is our longest episode yet and chock-full of guests from previous episodes! Parker shares about getting his first drum set for Christmas, Gary remembers Christmas morning videogames such as Stuart Little 2, Justus debates Taco Johns vs. Taco Bell, we explore Dan’s views on Star Wars, Matt Skype calls while eating peanuts, and Evan messes up another intro. Merry Christmas from the POD WARS family!

Disney has announced that their new online streaming service will be called "Disney Plus"; and along with it they've released a long list of new Marvel/Star Wars TV shows. And in the wake of the recent news of Stephen Hillenburg's death, we recollect on our favorite childhood show "SpongeBob SquarePants". We talk about all the current pop-culture news this week on POD WARS!

It's that time of the year again... When George Lucas and his followers try to forget about the meme that is The Star Wars Holiday Special. Released by CBS on November 17, 1978, the holiday special was a tale of Chewbacca trying to make it home in time to celebrate the Wookie holiday "Life Day". The TV special - aimed to bring in tons of revenue and excitement for the Star Wars franchise - turned into a major embarrassment after an hour and a half of monotonous television performed in a variety show setting. This piece of Star Wars history cannot be described in writing format, but a couple things you can expect when digging up this comedic treasure: SINGING Carrie Fisher, over 30 minutes of Wookie dialogue WITHOUT subtitles, and cringy skits that will legitimately scare you. So without further ado, Pod Wars presents The Star Wars Holiday Special.

This week we're wrapping up the discussion on one of our favorite Star Wars films - Revenge of the Sith. We talk about the sad betrayal of the Jedi, two of the most epic lightsaber battles of all time, Darth Vader's armor, and debate whether the Emperor is so powerful or the Jedi are so flawed.

The late Stan Lee was the creator of many of our childhood heroes, such as Spider-Man, Thor, the Hulk, and the X-Men. On this episode we remember our favorite Stan Lee moments and the times we were personally stirred by his creations. We hope you join us for this special tribute episode.

Star Wars Episode III is undoubtedly the best Star Wars film out of the prequels, so we talk about reasons why we love the third installment. We revisit the Wookie home world of Kashyyyk and ask the question "What is the balance of the force?" COMIC OF THE WEEK and much, much more!

Gary and Justus tell me about their favorite nostalgic video games such as Gears of War, Crash Bandicoot, and Halo 3. Gary and I argue that it's time for zombie video games to die, and Justus gives us a rundown of the new Spider-Man game. Also could this be our first explicit podcast?!?

Join the guys as they wrap up their round table discussion of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. We talk on Anakin's dark side, the return of Qui-Gon Jinn, and Yoda's power despite his failures. And as always, stick around for "Comic of the Week" - only found here on Pod Wars!
