Episode #86: Star Wars takes a back seat this week as AVENGERS: END GAME and GAME OF THRONES dominate the conversation. The guys go deep with analysis of End Game, including plenty of context to major plot points and links to other films while scrambling up both the obvious and obscure Easter eggs and connecting the seemingly unconnectable with a multitude of tangential thoughts thrown in for good measure. PLUS a compelling (non) Star Wars Choices that split the room like TLJ split the SW fan base. Postscript: Peter Mayhew passed away on April 30th, 2019. The Wretched Hive Podcast family would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the Mayhew Family and to everyone who loved and appreciated Mr. Mayhew. RIP Peter.

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.
