The Wretched Hive: January 19, 2018

Episode #53: As we engage light speed towards SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY in May, Episode VIII THE LAST JEDI continues to drive conversation and speculation…that is, unless writer/director RIAN JOHNSON continues to hold our collective hand and solve all the riddles for us. This week we cover Rian’s TLJ explanations, review the plot synopsis for Solo, and explore the connection between Star Wars and THE LEGENDS OF THE FALL. Remember that one scene where TRISTAN gets worried about monkeys, gets stoned on the couch, and starts to age backwards?

Episode #52: While THE LAST JEDI kills it at the box office and many fans and critics continue their tirades on the interwebs, THE HIVE is here to be your calm (not), cool (sometimes), and collected (almost never) source for the latest and greatest STAR WARS updates and analysis. This week we get caught up on the box office records set by Ep. VIII and review the most articulate and insane critic and fan reactions. Plus we discuss Disney’s purchase of Fox properties and renew our love for VERY LONELY LUKE.

Episode #49: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson was *officially* handed the future of the Star Wars franchise and we’ve got all the angles covered for you in this week’s episode of TWHP. As momentum builds for Episode VIII we review the TLJ trailer that debuted during the Dodgers’ devastating loss in the World Series, break down Kathleen Kennedy’s and Bob Iger’s recent comments on the future of Star Wars, and provide analysis on Adam Driver’s slip (or was it misdirection?) regarding Rey’s lineage.

The Wretched Hive: October 13, 2017

Episode #47: THE LAST JEDI trailer #2 has caused a tremor in the Star Wars universe and Steve, Greg, Scott, Niko, and Dave are here to break it down for you in this episode of TWHP. Plus as always the guys cover all the relevant SW news including Harrison Ford showing old movies to his kids, why @RealRonHoward is still the Twitter master, and how a DENTIST inserted himself into Episode IV. To quote Greg, this episode is Porgtastic, with lots of porg about porgs, and other porglicious and otherwise interesting news about porgs. Just keep your porgs away from Chewie if you care about them. We’ve heard that he uses them for, umm…things.
