The Wretched Hive: A Podcast About Whatever We Want

May the Force be with us all

In this final episode, we look back at Kathleen Kennedy’s tenure at Lucasfilm, discussing the creative highs, the controversies, and the moments that defined a transformative era of Star Wars. Of course this being our last episode, we can't help but talk about the show's most important topic: The Wretched Hive Podcast. Steve, Greg, Scott, Niko, and Dave reminisce about ten plus years of laughter, conversations, debates, and friendships forged around, alongside, and through the show. It’s a final reflection on the franchise we love and the time we spent exploring it together.

Superman in theaters! Plus a lightsaber update

The Hive takes flight with a super-powered episode as Superman soars into theaters this weekend! Greg puts Steve through the wringer with a brutally difficult Superman quiz — and let’s just say Steve’s score is heroic for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, Steve shares an exciting Star Wars-themed update for Dave's upcoming wedding: the groomsmen are crafting a full-on lightsaber tunnel for the bride and groom’s reception entrance (Amy makes a surprise cameo!). It’s a lighthearted, laughter-filled episode you won’t want to miss.

Los Angeles and Immigration | Scott's Camera | Niko vs. Truck | Celebrity Sightings | Cats

This week on The Wretched Hive, we took a break from the galaxy far, far away and pop culture and dove headfirst into real-world chaos and curious connections. We unpacked the recent immigration marches in Los Angeles and previewed the planned protests happening today. Greg’s wife somehow found herself at the center of not one, but two celebrity sightings—Mike Ness bought a table from her and Dateline’s Keith Morrison dropped by her art store like a plot twist. Meanwhile, Niko survived getting hit by a truck (yes, seriously), Brian Wilson’s passing hit hard, and we marveled at a viral AI-generated series starring stormtroopers named... wait for it... Greg and Steve. This episode is different— we just needed to talk. Grab your favorite beverage, find a comfy chair, and join us.

The great Peter David | Thunderbolts, revisited

In this episode, we pay tribute to the legendary comic book writer Peter David, reflecting on his incredible contributions to the worlds of X-Factor, The Incredible Hulk, and Star Trek. His sharp wit, emotional depth, and genre-defining runs left an indelible mark on fans and creators alike. We also revisit our review of Thunderbolts, breaking down its hits and misses, character dynamics, and how it stacks up against the rest of the MCU. After a month of Andor, this one's a heartfelt, conversation honoring a titan of comic book storytelling and a quick sidebar in the MCU.
