Somehow guest commentator Joseph Scrimshaw has returned to just in time for Captain Phasma to return, somehow!

Starts with Finn, Rose, and DJ racing across the narrow red bridge, and ends with Holdo tenderly touching the face of a stunned Poe Dameron.
White-suited First Order officer Colonel Ansiv Garmuth was originally supposed to have much bigger part but 80% was cut out.
Phasma reveal.

Mentioned: "Loki Charms."
Cosplaying as BB-8 in the garbage can. Mentioned: the running of the Wilrow Hoods.
Why are there holes in the First Order trash can? Wouldn't that make it not work.Mentioned: Joseph's Star Wars podcast Force Center.
- Gatorade shower.
The Star Wars trope of hiding amongst the garbage. The Millennium Falcon and garbage.
What does BB-9E sound like? (note: see below). What SNL alum would do BB-9E's voice?
The First Order "surprise party" for our heroes.
British actor Ralph Ineson. He's a genre tv/movie king.
- Referenced: "Mad Men".
A Last Jedi "extended edition" where a lot of the deleted scenes are cut back in (à la Lord of the Rings).
Recall: Pete would have liked Phasma to return [somehow] in The Rise of Skywalker. Referenced: Jason from the Friday the 13th franchise.
- Joseph agrees. Yeah it's silly, but since Star Wars is based on old adventure serials and pulps, there is no height from which you can guarantee someone's fall will kill them. See also: Emperor Palpatine.
The grand tradition of Boba Fett, Darth Maul, and now Phasma: all cool looking villains who don't end up doing anything and all come back to life somehow.
- The Ratts Tyerell Phantom Menace Minute 62: The Penultimate Race#Podcastgrieving family subplot of The Phantom Menace.
- Mentioned: "I will survive" / "Eye of the Tiger" mashup.
The colors of Imperial/First Order uniforms.
- First Order officer hats and flaps up vs. down. Referenced: Protect Ya Neck by Wu-Tang Clan

37:58 podcast episode length.
At the start of the video, Joseph had his head down wearing a hood obscuring his face. When he does his opening "Hello there", he removes his hood à la Alec Guinness in Star Wars.
Joseph was last on the show in April 2019, so assuming he's been in exile that whole time, he could have missed a few things.
Although BB-9E never "speaks" in the movie, you can hear him (yep, another male droid) in the non-canonical "Star Wars Blips" episode "Hey You". The Sphero BB-9E toy sounds very similar.
On the Friday the 13th subreddit, there is a discussion of how many times Jason Voorhees has died and been resurrected. Sounds like a question for You're All Doomed: A Friday the 13th Podcast].

Pete: Slab your breakfast cereal.
Joseph: Hours of work in order to walk around like a trash can.
Joseph: (in reference to BB-9E's glare at BB-8 in the trash can) That's a swearin' eye.
Joseph: Eff you, [...] space Monte Carlo!
Pete: You know what was good was the Subway tie-in menu for that where they had the "witch watch 'wiches".
