The most beautiful amazingly best game of all time (we're not biased) is now BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE on Xbox One!! Best game, best universe, best system, no bias; f*ck everybody!

Delicious local beer amazingness leads into Star Wars discussions per usual, except that we love the prequels and don't hate IPAs. So figure it out.

We discuss IN DETAIL the trailer for "The Last Jedi," like no other podcast has done before. You know that the Star Wars shows on the web are avoiding the trailer for spoilers so we are the FIRST podcast that is actually going to do a review and discussion......

I've seen this raw podcasting strength only once before; it didn't scare me then. It does now!

Congrats to Amber Mihal for winning pretty much every giveaway we've ever done!!! This particular Black Series figure, Clone Captain Rex, is one of the best we've ever seen. If you didn't nab one for yourself yet we highly recommend him!

If you're in Central Ohio, don't forget about our VIP Screening and event for the Last Jedi! If you're reading this then chances are the tix are already on sale! Head to bit.ly/lastjedicolumbus for more info.

Our sick asses talk about the big Battlefront 2 updates we got this week (and beta on Wednesday!), Ron Howard's pics from the Han Solo set, Avatar bull sh*t, Star Wars video games, and a bit of South Park.

Member JJ?
