Mando, Lego, Hasbro, and Presidential Debates

Episode #162: Although this week’s U.S. PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES were on the boys’ collective mind this week they found some room for great Star Wars talk including the latest rumors on The Mandalorian Season 2, Star Wars Legos and Hasbro’s Razor Crest, Disney+ Group Watch and the Obi Wan series, Nathalie Portman’s possible return, and how the Marvel Cinematic Universe will fare without actual cinemas. National treasure Mark Hamill once again scores the SWTOTW and Dave presents Scott with his very own Star Wars Choices.

A Traveler's Guide to...Star Wars film titles?

Episode #158: Turns out the Star Wars film titles ARE ALL WRONG and we’re (a couple of weeks late with this story) here to rundown the madness for you along with a quick book review of Eloc Throno’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge: Traveler’s Guide to Battu, a look at Hasbro’s new Millennium Falcon, and our take on the stunning layoffs at DC Comics, along with another edition of Scott’s Cantina Corner and Dave’s first ever SW Tweet of the Week.

The Mandalorian walks into Scott's Cantina Corner...

Celebrate Mando’s success with us as we debut SCOTT’S CANTINA CORNER, share the highs and lows of COMICON @ HOME, and get nostalgic with Robert Zemeckis’ brilliant BACK TO THE FUTURE.

The Wretched Hive: July 3, 2020

Episode #155: We’re reunited (and it feels so good) as Stevie B returns from his stint in carbonite and your favorite Star Wars nerds cover that and lots of “other stuff” including Disney+ and Comic-Con @ Home, the incredible contributions to fandom by the late great CHARLES LIPPINCOTT, and why LOST is still a great watch. PLUS we’ve got a camtono of the incessant chatter you’ve come to expect including an impromptu STAR WARS CHOICES and more blathering on about THE RIGHT STUFF, TRUE LIES, and a plethora of random references from our pop-culture mental holocron that few under age forty understand. In other words, it’s a standard episode.

Episode #153: Refusing to unfreeze Steve from his hibernation in carbonite (or is Steve simply refusing to come out?) and with ANTHONY DANIELS filling in as guest host, Greg, Scott, Dave, and Niko deliver another stellar episode covering the latest in Star Wars news and other stuff alongside the typical array of bad jokes you’ve come to expect.

Episode #151: The boys power on after accidentally freezing Steve in carbonite – not to worry, he should be quite well protected, if he survived the freezing process – and the topics range from the brilliance of Clone Wars Season 7 and Revenge of the Sith, ongoing Mandalorian casting announcements, and the conundrum of whether Lucasfilm should focus on classic characters in new Star Wars properties.

Programming Update: May 15, 2020

A quick programming update from your friends at TWHP.

The Wretched Hive: May 1, 2020

Episode #149: The final arc of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS Season 7 is incredible and, with all due respect to ROGUE ONE and THE MANDALORIAN, some of THE HIVE think it’s the best Star Wars content released for the screen since REVENGE OF THE SITH. It’s bold, sure, but so is our coverage of ANTHONY DANIELS explaining every C-3PO costume he wore, Cassian Andor series casting announcements, and The Force’s gift to humanity MARK HAMMIL’s curious take on a huge Star Wars plot hole. PLUS there are Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottles at a little store in Georgia and we offer…finally…a funny SW Tweet of the Week.

The Wretched Hive: April 17, 2020

Episode #148: Comic Con is officially cancelled, Bob Iger is back, and the future of Star Wars Celebration is uncertain (clouds the future, the dark side does), but THE HIVE is keeping the Falcon’s thruster pedal to the metal with an update on the Cassian Andor television series, Sam Raimi’s slip about directing Doctor Strange 2, and big updates in the world of comics. PLUS an impromptu choices (Beatles or Stones?), The Niko Zone makes a triumphant return, and DAISY RIDLEY reads us a book for the Tweet of the Week.
