Travis welcomes Brandon Wainerdi from Talking Bay 94 to the show for episode two of Star Wars in Pop Culture!


In this episode, Travis and Brandon discuss the Star Wars and Sesame Street connection!

Join us as we take a look at some behind-the-scenes stories, break down two Star Wars-themed episodes from 1980, and give our thoughts on Star S'mores!

What lengths did it take to get Anthony Daniels an emergency Visa to film the show? Did Jon Favreau get the name "Grogu" from Sesame Street's 2014 sketch Star S'mores? Will we get a photo op with Luke Piewalker and Darth Baker at Celebration?

From C-3PO singing to Lothar the Grouch from the 7th Moon of Zircon, we cover it all!
