The Wretched Hive: Star Wars and Other Stuff

The Wretched Hive: November 11, 2016

Episode #23: One month and a couple of days until Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits the theaters, and we've got the latest reconnaissance for your listening pleasure!  Plus updates on the Marvel universe, Jumanji (don't ask), and Very Lonely Luke.  Dave reviews Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Volume 1 AND we have a Chewbacca Mom update, because we love listening to Scott squirm.

The Wretched Hive: October 28, 2016

Episode #22: The Wretched Dead! We're changing it up a bit for this episode, in the wake of the devastating Season 7 premier of The Walking Dead (warning - major spoilers)! We also cover new casting announcements for Rogue One and other news from the Star Wars universe. Plus we've got listener voice mail and a dog that sounds like a TIE fighter. Happy Halloween!

The Wretched Hive: October 14, 2016

Episode #21: A new Rogue One trailer landed this week and The Hive is here to review it for you! We also have big news on the Scum and Villainy Cantina, an original trilogy reveal from Star Wars Rebels, an awesome new Snoke theory, listener voice mail (some people just CAN’T let the Chewbacca Mom thing go) and more.  Note: the possibility of you enjoying this episode is approximately 3,720 to 1.  But never tell us the odds.

TWHP Mini-Me Episode #1: October 7, 2016

Mini cast #1: We couldn't let a week pass without talking about Force Friday!  Scott and Steve compare the madness that was Midnight Madness from the prequel era to the lazy Friday night that was this year's Force Friday.  It's like our regular show, only about 1/8 the size and 20% of the brain power.

The Wretched Hive: September 30, 2016

Episode #20: It's Force Friday! Get ready to shop and get caught up on the latest Star Wars news including the new stand-alone film slated for release in 2020, the season three premier of Rebels, and the amazing new Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie. Plus we cover #ThingsNeverSaidInStarWars, the Star Wars-Freddie Krueger connection, and Rogue One news including a change in composers and Riz Ahmed's "edgier" review of the film. You'll get your bi-weekly dose of Star Wars Choices, the Very Lonely Luke Tweet of the Week, and more of the usual ridiculousness you've come to expect from the wretched five.

The Wretched Hive: September 16, 2016

Episode #19: The Hive digs deep into the cracks of the (vinyl) seat cushions in the Mos Eisley cantina this week to dig up all the loose credits and Star Wars info you can stomach including news on Star Wars Battlefront, the awesome TFA visual FX reel at starwars.com, and a slew of fan films you're bound to love. We'll give you twin (engines of destruction) reviews - Aftermath: Life Debt, and the maestro himself John Williams in concert. Fan speculation (or spoilers?) regarding Episode VIII are rampant and we'll showcase the best of them. Plus we reveal the real reason that Anakin's Force ghost is proud of his son (very lonely) Luke. No doubt about it, this episode is money.

The Wretched Hive: September 2, 2016

Episode #18: The Hive is more wretched than ever in this week's show!  We cover all the Star Wars news that's fit to print including rumors swirling on the casting of young Lando, the meaning of Rogue One (or is it, the rouge one?), and bathe in the nonsense that is a new segment, Star Wars Choices.  Plus, our buddy Chris takes down Greg in a way that only true friends should: harshly.  Because no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

The Wretched Hive: August 19, 2016

Episode #17: A new Rogue One trailer hit the interwebs and the Hive is here to break it down for you! We also pontificate on a possible Star Wars live action television show, and talk TV in general including the good, the bad, and the Buffy. We also pay tribute to Kenny Baker, the man who made R2-D2 come alive and who last week became one with The Force.

The Wretched Hive: August 5, 2016

Episode #16: The Hive
returns in full force with more real talk covering Alden Ehrenreich, an update and ‘exclusive
audio’ from Harrison Ford’s on set accident during TFA, new characters from
Rogue One, past print adventures of Han Solo, and the future that never came to
be in the Splinter of the Mind’s Eye. Also, we’ve got actual listener voicemail
(we promise it’s not another cheap celebrity impersonation).

Episode #15: Star Wars Celebration Europe took over the SW fan universe last weekend and The Hive is here to break it down for you!  We review the Rogue One sizzle reel and star-studded panel, talk Mark Hamill and national treasure Carrie Fisher, and geek out over Grand Admiral Thrawn's official entry into SW canon.  Plus we describe Adam Driver's acting abilities like no one ever has before - or ever will again.  Hopefully.
