Notes

Film

• Ben Quadinaros is still trying to start his pod (which subsequently explodes) despite being lapped
• Natalie Portman's (or her stand-in?) wooden reading of the line "Look. Here he comes." is dubbed
  • ADR="additional dialogue recorded"

Podcast

• Another stab at trying to come up with a name for the fabs
  • Star Wars Minutaurs?
• The guys discuss the film career of David Schwimmer at some length
• Pit droids could have been the Minions of late 1999-early 2000s
• Mentioned: SEBULBA!!, Ben Burtt and sound design, Don't talk about the toys, The Force doesn't exist
• Asterios challenges Alex and Pete to a a "Who can name the most Rhodians?" contest
  • Greedo the Elder vs. Greedo the Younger
• Asterios goes off on Watto and Toydarians
• The Force = Placebo effect?

Meta Minute

• Alex will compliment Mr. Burtt for the next several minutes on his sound work (perhaps to highlight the fact that he is already tired of taking about the podrace) and this turns into a bit of a running gag.
• Alex could not confirm that the Flop House crew would be on later. Stuart and Dan ended up making it in at the last minute but not Elliott.

Quotes

• "The name's Glob. C.G.I. Glob." - Alex
• "You can't call every Asian guy Jackie Chan!" - Asterios

"I could..." - Alex

"... But I would hope that you wouldn't!" - Asterios

• "I like those pit droids and their capering" - Asterios
