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.

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 #154: STAR WARS CELEBRATION has been postponed and Stevie B is still hanging in Jabba’s Palace frozen in podcast carbonite but THE HIVE carries on with the same high-quality and low-brow humor you’ve come to expect from four guys armed with adult beverages and microphones.

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.

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.
