PLUS the Hive’s Top 10 Titles for Ep. IX. EPISODE IX: AN EVEN SLOWER SPEED CHASE has a certain ring to it…

Episode #79: “Academy Award nominee SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY” sounds pretty nice and so does this week’s episode of THE HIVE as we talk Academy nods for BLACK PANTHER, SPIDERMAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE and AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. We also cover planned Star Wars releases for 2019, more info on fan films and EPISODE IX, plus the “final” season of Game of Thrones, EA Games’ struggles, and the fact that YOUR SNOKE THEORY SUCKS.

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.
