Summary

Asterios Kokkinos & Sirancha take a break from The Loudest Podcast to observe a tense meeting between Snoke and his pupil Kylo Ren!

Guests

Asterios Kokkinos and Sirancha

Notes

Film

• Starts with Snoke bragging about his "sharp tool" and it ends with Snoke saying that maybe he was mistaken.

Podcast

• Since there are no porgs in this minute, Asterios and Sirancha will have to "bring the porg".
• Thoughts on Andy Serkis.
  • Could he appear in Star Wars another role? He of all people could be anything.
    • Actors who played double (or triple) duty in Star Wars.
    • Mentioned Burnell Tucker.
    • Anthony Daniels and Ahmed Best in Attack of the Clones.
• This scene is just bad guys being crappy to each other.
  • Snoke starts bad-mouthing Hux the moment he leaves, actually before the elevator doors are even closed.
• Discussion of the word 'Cur' and "Les Miserables".
• Does Snoke know he's a puppet? How much agency does he really have?
  • Maybe his memory is wipef when he was born.
  • Maybe it's like Dooku, where he thought he was on the plan, but then Palpatine turned on him.

Pete likes musicals but has not seen or heard "Les Mis".

Meta Minute

• 27:06 podcast episode length.
• Mark Hamill appeared alongside his "identical twin cousin" Luke Skywalker in the Muppet Star Wars episode.

Quotes

• Pete: (Coining a phrase) As "happy as a cur", that guy.
• Sirancha: I believe his [Jean Valjean] name is artoo-detoo?
• Asterios: (still talking about "Les Mis") This movie's boring I want to talk about a better movie [...] wait no why is 'cur' popular, I just talked a lot and didn't say anything.
• Sirancha: if I were Snoke and I knew they were forty thousand backup Snokes, I wouldn't be too keen on executing Palpatine's plans.
• Asterios: (referring to Russell Crowe) Phone-thrower McYells-a-lot.

Asterios: (singing operatically as Russell Crowe) ...you stole a loaf of bread! You stole the bread, you're a cur! You're always gonna be a cur!—and I was like "exit stage Kokkinos!".
