Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with DJ being revealed to be a traitor. Ends with Holdo watching as the transports get picked off by enemy fire.
Podcast
- Pete is a domain name baron. Referenced: Dune.
- Will we ever get a needle drop for music in Star Wars? À la A Knight's Tale (which was full of anachronistic music cues). See also: Marie Antoinette (Sofia Coppola film).
- Star Wars is different than, say, the MCU, in that it's not our current reality.
- Referenced: West Side Story, mentioned: the MAD Star Wars musical.
- Kelly is unconditional really into BdT.
- Referenced Black Knight, mentioned: "Forever Knight".
- Callback to Rey calling Kylo a "murderous snake". The difference between 'poisonous' and 'venomous' (note: see below).
- Referenced: "The End" by Jim Morrison and The Doors.
- The pitfalls of watching these movies one minute at a time.
- If you were DJ would you sell out our heroes? Honestly, yeah probably: you just met them that day.
Pete tells the story about his extraordinary encounter with local law enforcement.
He was hanging out camping with some friends and a guy he knew less well in a small town. They came across some arcade machines with the key to the money still in the back. The aforementioned guy stole a bunch of quarters from the machines. The cops found out and tried to get Pete and his friends to turn in the thief and confess, which they would have gladly done, but the cops were doing an extremely clumsy "tough guy" routine and threatened to call Pete's boss on him.The guy eventually turned himself in after hiding in the woods and having his girlfriend plead with him via megaphone to come out.
- Callback to the "foot cam" from last week.
Meta Minute
- 33:11 podcast episode length.
- Although there never was a shark on "The Jetsons", there was another, short-lived, Hanna-Barbera property that featured a talking, drum-playing great white shark named Jabberjaw.
- Both A Knight's Tale and Black Knight came out in 2001, so 20 years ago at the time of this recording.
- The ever-delightful webcomic Xkcd has a strip about replacing Batman's name with "a man dressed like a bat".
- The difference between 'poisonous' and 'venomous' has ben brought up before.
- Sorry Alex, but you're wrong again. The chefs that prepare the fugu fish cut out the parts with the highest concentrations of toxins, allowing customers to essentially "eat around the poisonous bits".
Quotes
- Kelly: They’re sharks, they're in space, and they have a robot maid.
- Kelly: Well shut my mouth and call me Superman!
- Kelly: (in regards to DJ) You're a criminal. You gotta do crime stuff.
