Episode #159: The Hive is 3x3 this week as Scott, Greg, and Steve soldier on with Niko (toe injury) and Dave (hosting at True Detective Season 1 panel at McConaughey-Con) unavailable and we've got plenty to cover including the 80's Disney/Star Wars-inspired rock band HAYLX (pronounced Hay-licks), DC Fandome, and Kathleen Kennedy's comments on the future of Star Wars...PLUS the usual nonsense including a rather meta SW Tweet of the Week and rather stormy Scott's Cantina Corner.

The Wretched Hive Podcast
The show was born in the summer of 2015 when Greg, Steve, Niko, Dave, and their wives and girlfriends met at Barley Forge Brewery in Costa Mesa, California (Scott was absent that day, tending to the physical effects of consuming one too many Zombies the evening prior). The usual conversation, debate, and low-brow comedy centering around Star Wars ensued. Steve had the idea of starting a podcast, and much like the throbbing hangover in Scott's cranium, the idea hung on for dear life in his mind, refusing to leave. The five recorded their first episode under the original show title, "The Second Order", on January 20, 2016.
