Summary
It’s time for the porgs which can only mean Asterios & Sirancha are here as our guests! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Guests
Asterios Kokkinos and Sirancha
Notes
Film
- Starts with Rey finding Luke's hut, and ends with someone's knockin' at the door (open the door and let 'em in)
- First appearance of porgs!
- Luke's hut door is made from part of his X-wing wing (it has the five red stripes).
Podcast
- This is the first team of guests on this season of the podcast.
- Referenced: Paul McCartney's "Let 'Em In" (Wrong show).
- Asterios and Sirancha are, without hyberbole, two of the biggest porg fans in the world.
- This was her first Star Wars movie. As soon as they finished the movie they started their porgchatter podcast.
- Together they now own about 40. Fans of their show will make porg stuff and send it to them. Note: See the video for examples.
- Sirancha only went on to see this movie and Rise of Skywalker and that's it.
- We'll get into Ewoks vs. porgs later on.
- Luke waits until Rey is right there before he slams the door in her face. Referenced: "Batman '66".
- Mentioned:The Giving Tree, using the whole buffalo.
- Luke didn't give himself the biggest hut.
- Alex's theory is that the island was fully inhabited but with gross bug aliens and so it's ok that Luke massacred them and their """society""" and imported the lizard nuns to be his staff.
- If Luke really wanted Rey to leave him alone he could have made her leave, but he clearly loves the attention and wants to get Rey to nag him into helping.
- Asterios relates to Luke and the infuriating feeling of when you get older and young people are enthusiastic about their jobs.
- If somebody showed up at Pete's house with a price gun and said he needed to come back to being a retailer, he probably would.
- But, what if he had left retailing after screwing up in the biggest way you can as a retailer (by mis-pricing valuable collectibles and selling them for way under market value!)?
- Luke as the emo kid. Referenced: Emo Philips.
- The Porgs playing with the lightsaber.
- The version of the clip where the one porg comes to a bad end - is this a cut scene or just the animators messing around?
Porgs vs. Ewoks
- Porgs are not OP (editor's note: OP means "so overpowered, e.g. in a tabletop game, as to be unfair, unrealistic, or just plain un-fun") like Ewoks.
- Chewbacca kills, skins, and dresses a porg while the rest of them just sit there and watch.
- We relate to the porgs because they're not perfect, there's no scene where they miraculously help our heroes. They're just bystanders, not characters.
- However, they are similar in the sense they both feel like they were created by marketing departments for the purpose of selling toys.
Other notes
Meta Minute
- 28:36 podcast episode length.
- Alex greets the crowd with a Vulcan salute in the video.
- In the same wacky font as they did for "Poofin' it!", the phrase "It's dot fun!" flashes after Alex successfully remembers what his website is called.
- This is reminiscent of the welcome video from homestarrunner.com (which Pete has previously mentioned being a fan of) that has become something of a meme.
- In the same wacky font as they did for "Poofin' it!", the phrase "It's dot fun!" flashes after Alex successfully remembers what his website is called.
- If the guys continued at this rate of adding increasing the number of new guests each week by one every week, the will exhaust the current world population in just 124,901 weeks (just about 2,400 years)! Of course if our current level of global population growth is sustained, they're going to need to get a few extra chairs.
- Buuut if they are actually doubling their new guest count instead of just increasing by 1 each week, then they would reach 7.8 billion guests in only 31 more weeks (just three weeks more than there are left in the season.
- Sirancha has two Porgs in the shot and Asterios has a porg on his shoulder for much of the video.
Quotes
- Pete: We have you guys here because we love you.
- Asterios: <emphatically> I love those lizard milk ladies I wish we had more of them!
