Summary
Reylo face the combined might of Snoke’s furious guards and affable guest commentator Paul F. Tompkins!
Guests
Notes
Film
Starts off with a Praetorian guard wrapping his whip around Rey's laser sword and ends with Kylo Ren fighting some guys.
Podcast
- Lazer swords and other Space weapons.
- The guards are very robotic.
- They'd move faster if not for the armor. Mentioned: Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron.
- Callback to the age-old debate about whether or not Stormtroopers in Star Wars were robots.
- Other shocking things that could be under the helmets, like a chicken head.
- Contrast this scene with the death of the Wicked Witch at the end of The Wizard of Oz, where all her guards celebrate her end rather than avenging her.
Meta Minute
- 21:19 podcast episode length.
- Today, Paul is calling from the River Thames in London, UK.
- To travel directly from Pyramid Lake (see yesterday's episode) to London (a distance of a distance of 5420 mi / 8720 km) in under 24 hrs would require that he travel at 225 mph or approximately Mach 0.3.
- Buuut assuming he doesn't have a flying yacht, to sail all the way from the coast of Southern California to London (a distance of closer to 9000 mi / 14500 km) he would need to average 375 mph.
- This beats the current water speed record by over 50 mph. Impressive!
