The Wretched Hive: Star Wars and Other Stuff

The Wretched Hive: March 30, 2018

Episode #58: The unstoppable force that is STAR WARS continues to flow through us and this week is no exception with the reveal that Phil Lord and Chris Miller will get Executive Producer credit for SOLO, original trilogy canon has been enhanced by FORCES OF DESTINY, and Mark Hamill pulls back the curtain once again to reveal new details from the set of A NEW HOPE. Meanwhile Dave reviews Claudia Gray’s “Leia: Princess of Alderaan” while Greg reveals Niko’s addiction to the highly addictive “Brown Christmas.” Kids, just say no.

Episode #57: It's THREE'S COMPANY as Scott, Greg, and Steve remove the training wheels and scream downhill towards traffic with no brakes and a lot of Star Wars news to cover including the announcement of a Jon Favreau-produced live action show, THE LAST JEDI digital and Blue Ray release, and John Williams' sunsetting his SW career. We blast away at Lucasfilm's "homage" to an unknown artist, wonder how fans would react if JJ's treatment for Episode VIII is ever released, and review the best Twitter has to offer in response to President Trump's Space Force idea.

Episode #54: Three words describe this episode, and they are not ‘THE LAST JEDI’. Never before have we been more OFF THE RAILS than in this, with talk of STAR WARS devolving into THE BREAKFAST CLUB, Kevin Spacey, FOOTLOOSE, and worst of all for Greg, LOVE ACTUALLY. Turns out the Wookie co-pilot will say anything to stop the rest of us from talking Love Actually, including BEEEEEEEEP. We touch on Rian Johnson’s obsession with holding our collective hands, Joseph Gordon Levitt’s insightful article on TLJ, and highlight Carrie Fisher’s Grammy win. The laughs are strong with this one.

Interview: Kevin Liell

Mini Ep. #13: Amazing Star Wars artist Kevin Liell shares his experience watching THE LAST JEDI and his hope for SOLO, and highlights the latest gear from NORSE LEGION.

Episode #53: As we engage light speed towards SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY in May, Episode VIII THE LAST JEDI continues to drive conversation and speculation…that is, unless writer/director RIAN JOHNSON continues to hold our collective hand and solve all the riddles for us. This week we cover Rian’s TLJ explanations, review the plot synopsis for Solo, and explore the connection between Star Wars and THE LEGENDS OF THE FALL. Remember that one scene where TRISTAN gets worried about monkeys, gets stoned on the couch, and starts to age backwards?

Episode #52: While THE LAST JEDI kills it at the box office and many fans and critics continue their tirades on the interwebs, THE HIVE is here to be your calm (not), cool (sometimes), and collected (almost never) source for the latest and greatest STAR WARS updates and analysis. This week we get caught up on the box office records set by Ep. VIII and review the most articulate and insane critic and fan reactions. Plus we discuss Disney’s purchase of Fox properties and renew our love for VERY LONELY LUKE.
