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)
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 35 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 Hertzog's 1982 film Fitzcarraldo, did way back in 1894.
Quotes
- Alex: Hopefully we'll be able to wrap this up before the cannonade starts.
- Alex: He's a real "Darth Downer".
