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.

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.

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.

Episode #147: We’re back at full strength like Luke after his dip in the bacta tank on Hoth and joined by special guest Rancho Obi-Wan’s MARC MORITA! We’ve got serious speculation on The Mandalorian Season two release date and Rosario Dawson’s turn as Ahsoka Tano. PLUS we cover the Cassian Andor series official synopsis, take a deeper dive into The Skywalker Saga 27-disc box set, consider the future of comic books with Diamond halting distribution, and pay honor to icons that have recently become one with The Force: Stuart Gordon, Andrew Jack, and the great Max von Sydow.

Episode #146 (resetting to match iTunes): As Star Wars and the rest of our universe is impacted by Coronavirus the show must go on and it does with Greg, Scott, and Niko taking the helm to discuss the impact on our lives including cancelations of major cons and speculation on STAR WARS CELEBRATION and San Diego Comic-Con. PLUS Mandalorian Season Two talk and this week’s early release of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
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.
