June 22, 2018 Live Call-In Show Ep. 4: You Win Some, You Lose Some
On Wednesday, Collider released and article stating that the stand alone Star War Stories may be put on hold. We recorded this call-in show that same night. The next day a lot came out that refuted that. Were guessing the truth is somewhere in middle. Either way, this episode was a lot of fun, with a lot of good discussion.

The toxic minority of the fandom.
Solo's concerning box office.
The cohesiveness of the larger canon.
GNK Droids...nuff said

May 28, 2018 Live Call-In Show Ep. 1: Solo: A Star Wars Story
Solo: A Star Wars Story just dropped! We thought it would be great to get your opinions on the matter, so we set-up this call-in show. We appreciate all of those who called in and participated. It was a ton of fun!
If this is your first time listening, just know that the sound quality isn't nearly as good as our usual show, it's not horrible, but not great either. Needless to say, internet call in show software still has a ways to go!

October 04, 2017 Ep. 33: Playing Favorites
It was a bit of a slow news week, so Luke came up with a great idea! Let's talk about our top favorite moments in the Star Wars films and books. Here's what happens:
Dallas got a lightsaber. Not one made by Eric, but it's still neato.
THe HASCON Captain Rex figures made it, but the internal tray didn't fare too well in some of the packages. Luke got a turd.
A $13 magazine of Star Wars pictures should at least be printed well. That's our official stance.
The GameStop "Snoke-on-a-Throne" has been deleayed, apparently. Oh, and a theory has poppped up that the toy itself points to Snoke possibly being Snokette.
Luke blows our minds with his favorite scene from the prequels.
Droids can be buttholes too, you guys.
We all have unique takes on the book moments. Good stuff. Violence and "doing it" are common threads here.
Listener emails and voicemails! International edition.

September 27, 2017 Ep. 32: We Ruin the Novel "Phasma" with "King Tom" Chansky
"King Tom" Chansky drops in as guest motivator to help dissect the novel Phasma by Delilah Dawson. Here's what happens:
Smuggler's Bounty boxes arrived. The theme is Jedi. They're dope!
King Tom has a giant plush porg, so he doesn't need anything else. Ever.
We break down Phasma and how it connects the dots and adds more the canon. It's good stuff.
Mad Max was Phasma's neighbor.
Fox on the Run by Sweet is a killer song, and the fact that it wasn't in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is crap. We can't think of any other time something has been featured in several movie trailers and not appeared in the actual movie.
King Tom sticks around for listener voicemails and emails.
Chris Willis reminds us of why we're impossible to love.

September 20, 2017 Ep. 31: The 800lb Gorilla, Michael Pasquale of 800 Pound Productions
The Bad Motivators are joined by the highly talented and hard working Michael Pasquale of 800lb Productions. Here's what happens:
Eric got his killer SDCC-exclusive toys from Steele Saunders of Steele Wars. Jealousy all around.
JJ Abrams is back, baby. We're all on board. We'll not be signing any petitions.
Mike shares his love for R5-D4 and Luke Skywalker. We already knew he was awesome, so we weren't surprised by this.
We get an inside look at the creative industry from Mike. It's a scene, man.
Luke and Dallas accept their inferiority with minimum fuss.
Having a guest for the listener emails and voicemails is great!
We rate our regular contributors from best to best per Top Gun Ollie's request. Dallas gives him the afterburner.
A Jonathan P. Schwartz lightning round. Play along!
Be sure to check out Mike's artwork! (website: 800lbprods.com, Instagram: 800lbproductions, Twitter: @800lbProds)

September 13, 2017 Ep. 30: Here Today, Gone Trevorrow!
Colin Trevorrow is out as the director of Episode IX. Since we recorded this episode, it's been announced that JJ Abrams will be taking over. Here's what happens:
Hey, there's gonna be a new director for Episode IX!
Dallas sent Luke and Eric each a DJ Funko Pop! yet they both still make fun of him.
Will The Last Jedi be too much like The Empire Strikes Back? Any concerns?
How far out there will the movies ever be?
Will Kylo Ren be super evil in TLJ? Oh, and Adam Driver is a great actor.
The latest trailer for Star Wars Rebels season 4 looks really good. But those trailers always do. What's gonna happen in this final season? Who is gonna get the axe?
Emily Lind asks if people could really handle a movie from the perspective of the Empire or First Order, where they are the protagonists. What do you think?
Great listener emails and voicemails!

September 06, 2017 Ep. 29: We Ruin "Inferno Squad" & Force Friday II
We talk Inferno Squad and Force Friday II shenanigans. Here's what happens:
Toys! Score!
Yay porgs! Eric's pal Lucas won a giant porg from Target. Screw that guy.
Walmart, what is your problem?
The new TLJ Pops! look really cool.
The 3.75" figures have come a long way!
Inferno Squad made for a neat story. Some like it more than others.
We got our very first (official) 1-star review! We knew people were thinking it, but someone finally wrote it down!
King Tom sneaks one past the goalie. Come on, Your Highness. Come on.
Jonathan P., crafter of amazing emails, leaves a voicemail for the first time. Voice like an angle, that one.
We love Richie from Boston. And Dean from Australia. And Turbo from Australia.
Don't miss our special guest in episode 30!

August 30, 2017 Ep. 28: Force Friday II Pre-Game Strategy Session
Force Friday II is in a few short days. What are we gonna get? What can we afford? Do bills really have to be paid? Here's what happens:
What toys are actually being released?
Hey stores, quit putting merchandise on the shelves that we can't buy. That's crap.
Dallas talks a clerk down on price in a retail store. Like a boss.
Thanks to Sphero, we'll all be broke. But happy.
Porgs.
Porgs. And more porgs.
Dallas drops out to take care of business. Naturally he closes the deal. The guy's a salesman!
Some great emails and voicemails from our awesome listeners.
Richie from Boston explains exactly how an Obi-Wan movie could work out. Exactly.
