Pure Fandom

Star Wars Theory Series is hosted by PureFandom.com co-founder Liz Prugh and her brother Patrick Pochop (talking about Star Wars is one of the only ways she can get him to hang out with her). They frequently have their other two brothers, dad, and Liz’s husband and self-proclaimed Star Wars experts as guest hosts. They’re dedicated to putting a fun and comedic spin on each episode. 

Star Wars Theory Series is BACK! With the Episode VIII trailer drop during Monday Night Football, we had to whip up another podcast and break it down. While the trailer didn't reveal too much, we still have some solid theories as to what we can expect when the film hits theaters December 14.

Tune in for details on what the new Episode VIII trailer revealed:

-Character development for Rey: With father-figure Han murdered, Rey is out for revenge. We all know this isn't the best foundation to build a Jedi on, so what does this mean for her path?

-Luke is afraid: The trailer confirmed that Luke is definitely on that planet for a purpose, not just to hide. What is he searching for?

-Kylo's next step to the dark side: Will he complete his journey to the dark side and murder his mother? The trailer alludes to this.

-Meet non-hologram Snoke: We get to meet the mystery villain in the flesh; what will his showdown with Rey reveal?

-We still know nothing: What we love about Star Wars is that they don't give too much away. Benicio del Toro and Lauren Dern were absent from the trailer, but we know their characters serve an important part to the new film.

-We make fun of each other: We of course tease Pat about his love for the prequels, and Liz yells at Eric for ragging on Luke.

-Miller Lite is horrible: Since we live in Indiana, we can't buy beer on Sundays, and all we had available was Miller Lite in the back of Liz's fridge.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Our favorite vampire apocalypse has begun again and it's bloody amazing. Last season, Vanessa made a devastating discovery about her daughter's fate and the show picks up where things left off. To say that she's still salty about Mohamad's betrayal. Speaking of Mo, he's not having the best day with the ladies in his life.

She's definitely as badass as advertised in our recent chat with the actress. Should be interesting to see how Lucky fits in with the rest of the group. We can already see a clash coming between her "kill them all" philosophy and Dylan's new status. Hit play and then drop a comment to let us know what you thought of this week's premiere.

Welcome back, Martians. The show as not joking with the graffiti that JD spotted upon first entering the No-End House. Someone warned all who entered, "Beware the Cannibals" and now we're wondering who did that and why the house left it there.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's twistiest turns. Margot's search for the truth about her father's suicide takes a backseat as she realizes the true danger around her.
