Comics can be complicated, and multidimensional theory is arguably even more confusing, so the existence of multiple Marvel universes might seem incomprehensible at times. That’s why Ryan (Earth-1218) and Lorraine (Earth-1218) are here to de-mystify the role of alternate universes in comics, and explain how they are used to tell some of our best stories!

Later, Ryan and Lorraine dish with comedian, writer, actor, and musician Eliza Skinner about their favorite music, and rave about her incredible collection of Marvel merchandise!

It’s out! Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has finally hit theaters, so we’re asking a big question: what exactly makes a Star Wars story, Star Wars?

Ryan, Lorraine, and Pull-List co-host Tucker muse about the impact Star Wars has had on their lives, and share some of their favorite Star Wars memories as they reflect on the ending of a saga spanning nearly half a century.

Then Ryan and Tucker Markus dig deep in a conversation with writer Matthew Rosenberg and Lucasfilm creative executive Matt Martin about crafting stories in the Star Wars universe across different media.

Marvel and Star Wars might seem like a match made in fan heaven, but it wasn’t always so. Ryan and Lorraine take us back to a long time ago, when the name Star Wars commanded no force, and Marvel took a big risk to betting on its success. Hear how that relationship has changed over the years, leading to some of our most beloved comics made today!

Then, Will Sliney gives us an in-depth look at two of the latest Star Wars comic series: “Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren” and “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge,” the series based on the brand new themed lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World!
