Best of the Worst Volume 1: It's Thanksgiving in the US and we're delivering a delicious Butterball Turkey straight into your ear holes with Volume 1 of the Best of the Worst of TWHP! We scoured the bottom of the episode 1-5 barrel and scraped up the origins of GLENN FREY angst and of Dave’s nickname, the final takedown of BOBA FETT, and the inaugural Bad Star Wars Battle. We hit on Love Actually, opine on James Cameron’s listenership, revel in the grunts and groans of torqueing a moonfish, and more. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Episode #49: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson was *officially* handed the future of the Star Wars franchise and we’ve got all the angles covered for you in this week’s episode of TWHP. As momentum builds for Episode VIII we review the TLJ trailer that debuted during the Dodgers’ devastating loss in the World Series, break down Kathleen Kennedy’s and Bob Iger’s recent comments on the future of Star Wars, and provide analysis on Adam Driver’s slip (or was it misdirection?) regarding Rey’s lineage. PLUS Dave clarifies things for Steve, who continues to be obsessed with “Rey Kenobi,” and of course Porgs. Much like his cherished Porg, Steve’s dry cleaning bill is enormous.

Episode #47: THE LAST JEDI trailer #2 has caused a tremor in the Star Wars universe and Steve, Greg, Scott, Niko, and Dave are here to break it down for you in this episode of TWHP. Plus as always the guys cover all the relevant SW news including Harrison Ford showing old movies to his kids, why @RealRonHoward is still the Twitter master, and how a DENTIST inserted himself into Episode IV. To quote Greg, this episode is Porgtastic, with lots of porg about porgs, and other porglicious and otherwise interesting news about porgs. Just keep your porgs away from Chewie if you care about them. We’ve heard that he uses them for, umm…things.

Mini Ep. #9: THE LAST JEDI trailer landed yesterday and The Hive met up to celebrate, debate, discuss, and otherwise revel in the wonder that is an amazing trailer.
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.
