A long time ago in a galaxy far outside of continuity...  STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL Following the events of A New Hope, Han Solo and Chewbacca travel to the empire occupied  wookie homeworld to meet up with Chewbacca's family for the celebration of "Life Day". Originally aired on CBS as a Chistmas Special to fulfill fan hunger for more Star Wars content, but with limited creative imput from George Lucas, it became a half improvised series of disconnected segments. Unfortunate, laughable, and largely inexplicable, it stands as an example of a time before The Empire Strikes Back established a connected universe, when any number of random things were thrown together to make it look otherworldly and spacey. Movie explorers wondering what value might lie in uncovering this epic misadventure may find enlightenment here! Listen in... This Week's Topic: Cannon, Legend, And Confusion In A Connected Universe!

With The Force Awakens just on the horizon we felt it was time to return to a So-Bad-It's-Good movie which brazen takes from the biggest movies of all time. An obscure, low-budget classic known as Turkish Star Wars!  This Week's Topic: Be Imaginative, But Don't Rely On Imagination!

With Special Guest: Matt Allegretti! Perhaps you've often heard tell of 1000 ways to die in the west? It's fair to say that most of those ways are unpleasant, and you can let your morbid imaginations run wild a bunch there. If you think about it though, one of them has got to be the worst way to go. A death so harsh, so unforgiving, they would have to call it something like... The Great Silence!
