The Wretched Hive: February 2, 2018

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

The Wretched Hive: January 19, 2018

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.
