Summary

Rey gets an offer from the Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren, while we get a visit from the mayor of podcasts, Paul F. Tompkins

Guests

Paul F. Tompkins

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Kylo Ren telling Rey "It's time to let the past die". A minute later he's telling her that her parents were filthy junk traders.

Podcast

  • Referenced: Pete's Start Trek podcast.
  • Referenced: Fitzcarraldo (1982).
  • Not just junk traders, but filthy junk traders. Kylo is really negging her here.
  • Pete's love of RC Cola.
  • Famous fictional junk traders. Mentioned: "Sanford be Son".
    • The shared universe of all junk dealers: the expanded junkiverse.
    • Mentioned: "Salvage 1".
    • Things failing to live up to your expectations (such as a beverage not recapturing your childhood, or Mannix not being a robot).
  • Mentioned: sports mascots Gritty and the San Diego Chicken.

Meta Minute

  • 26:40 podcast episode length.
  • The closest navigable waterway to landlocked Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is the Susquehanna river (which enters Chesapeake bay and then the Atlantic Ocean). At its nearest point to Ohio's Tribute monument to Carroll's Brigade on East Cemetery Hill (which can be seen in the background behind Paul) it's still around 40 miles away, outside of Harrisburg, PA. So after sailing the roughly 7600 miles from his previous location, Paul must have found a truck to carry his boat the rest of the way.
    • Or he could have disassembled it and portaged it the way Carlos Fitzcarrald, the inspiration for Werner Herzog's 1982 film Fitzcarraldo, did way back in 1894.
  • On Pete's aforementioned Star Trek podcast, "Mannix" was a bit of a running joke.
  • When he mentions golf clubs on the Moon, Alex is referring to Alan Shepard on Apollo 14 (the third manned mission to the moon). Shepard did hit two golf balls on the Moon's surface, but not having clubs he improvised one from a six-iron head attached to a lunar sample scoop handle. Although the golf balls remain on the Moon, the "club" was brought back to Earth and given to the US Golf Association Museum in New Jersey.

Quotes

  • Alex: Hopefully we'll be able to wrap this up before the cannonade starts.
  • Alex: He's a real "Darth Downer".
