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.
- The literal spark that lights the (literal and metaphorical) fire.
- It's ironic that Snoke put so much effort into lightsaber-proof armor and yet he surrounded by drapes that are a fire hazard.
- They could have had a cute firefighting robot.
- The wood chipper in the floor. Referenced: an explosion from "Get Smart".
- What if the armor is only impervious to lightsabers and nothing else?
- Lightsaber ceiling fans (editor's note: see below).
- More top shelf sound design the lightsabers striking the armor.
- Rey is totally attacking in anger but it's fine this time (no "once you go down the Dark path..." here).
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!
