Episode #104: Our in-depth review and analysis of THE RISE OF SKWALKER continues with a detailed look at the timeline, focused on when PALPATINE made love, made whoopie, shagged, did it, made the beast with two backs, engaged in coitus, had intercourse, or otherwise copulated with the female of a similar species to create the son that in turn helped make is granddaughter, REY PALPATINE-SKYWALKER. Plus we have plenty of news to cover on the making of TROS and “mistakes” Disney can learn from, Baby Yoda’s “real” name, an impromptu Star Wars Choices, and the (not very) triumphant return of the Star Wars Tweet of the Week! This episode is dedicated to Neil Peart, his family, friends, and fans. RIP Neil.

Episode #103: The entire crew joins in for our initial full team reaction to STAR WARS EPISODE IX: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER with plenty of spoilers…DO NOT listen to this episode if you have not yet seen the film! We discuss Rey’s lineage and its impact on Star Wars canon, the joys, challenges, benefits and hair-pulling drawbacks of having to investigate beyond the films to fully understand the Skywalker saga, and we officially acknowledge that #nikowasright.

Episode #102: The Star Wars universe is hotter than the twin suns of Tatooine this week with THE RISE OF SKYWALKER landing in theaters, THE MANDALORIAN grabbing the bounty as the top television show on the planet, and Baby Yoda quickly becoming a cultural zeitgeist. Scott gets an impromptu SW Choices from Dave, we prep you to prep for Ep. IX, we fawn over Richard E. Grant’s emotional response to seeing the film, and pine for Baby Yoda merch.

Episode #101: BABY YODA has taken the universe by storm while at the same time the DISNEY/LUCASFILM marketing machine has kicked in and the galaxy-wide promotion of THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is now in full swing so there is no shortage of news including DAISY RIDLEY rapping on The Tonight Show, JOHN BOYEGA admitting to losing his Ep. IX script, Baby Yoda vs. Porgs, and more. PLUS we come to the final all important decision on whether the FOO FIGHTERS’ music is indeed, as some have claimed it to be, milquetoast.

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.
