Notes

Film

  • Starts with Rey saying "Ben"; ends with her gazing in wonder after Snoke is bisected.
    • Biggest surprise of the movie: Death of Snoke.
  • Parallel shots of Rey catching the flying lightsaber in TFA and TLJ.
  • One of the few dismemberments in the Disney films.

Podcast

  • Referenced: "That's Not My Name", mentioned: "Ben", Willard (2003).
  • Never claim that you can't be betrayed/beaten, (on reality shows it never goes well).
  • Does Snoke think of himself as a bad guy? Snoke as a bank teller.
  • Credit to Kylo for being able to mask his intentions from Snoke.
  • Kelly's loves to loudly react during movies. Her friend rented Dynasty Typewriter so they could watch Speed. It's unfortunate when some people take silly movies too seriously.
  • Snoke is killed with Anakin's lightsaber. He's surprised, and there's a Rey fakeout.
  • What types of lightsaber wounds can you survive? It depends on Snoke's physiology.
    • Who pulls the lightsaber through Snoke and to Rey? (editor's note: according to Wookieepedia, Kylo who controlled the saber, see below)
  • Force creep: Snoke is doing everything so casually without needing to concentrate to use the Force. See also: Pete's complaint about the famous hallway scene at the end of Rogue One.
    • Maybe it's a Dark Side thing.
  • Mentioned: Run Lola Run
  • Does Kylo Ren have a trust fund? Any money he has must come through his mom; his dad is probably terrible with money. But then again Alderaan was destroyed.
  • Combining words to make new ones.
    • A cafeteria combined with an auditorium is called a cafetorium. A cafeteria combined with a gymnasium is a cafenasium (but, see below). A gymnasium combined with an auditorium would be a gymnatorium.
  • Referenced: Steve Holt ("Arrested Development").
  • "Reylo" shipping.
  • Least favorite Adam Driver roles. Mentioned: Patterson, Marriage Story.
  • Which movie Kelly word prefer to discuss next. Mentioned: Phantom Thread.
