An imagined behind the scenes look at filming the scene where a porg is flung against the window of the falcon. after dozens of takes (with a pile of used endangered puffins built up), they realize they have to digitally costume the Puffin as a porg so they didn't get in trouble with the World Wildlife Fund.

Summary

It’s time for the porgs which can only mean Asterios & Sirancha are here as our guests! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Guests

Asterios Kokkinos and Sirancha

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Rey finding Luke's hut, and ends with someone's knockin' at the door (open the door and let 'em in)
  • First appearance of Porgs!

Podcast

  • This is the first team of guests on this season of the podcast.
  • Referenced: Paul McCartney's "Let 'Em In" (Wrong show).
  • Asterios and Sirancha are, without hyberbole, two of the biggest porg fans in the world. This was her first Star Wars movie. As soon as they finished the movie they started their porgchatter podcast.
    • Together they now own about 40. Fans of their show will make porg stuff and send it to them. See the video for examples.

Meta Minute

  • 28:36 podcast episode length.
  • Alex greets the crowd with a Vulcan salute in the video.
    • In the same wacky font as they did for "Poofin' it!", the phrase "It's dot fun!" flashes after Alex successfully remembers what his website is called.
      • This is reminiscent of the welcome video from homestarrunner.com (which Pete has previously mentioned being a fan of) that has become something of a meme.
  • If the guys continued at this rate of adding increasing the number of new guests each week by one every week, the will exhaust the current world population in just 124,901 weeks (just about 2,400 years)! Of course if our current level of global population growth is sustained, they're going to need to get a few extra chairs.
    • Buuut if they are actually doubling their new guest count instead of just increasing by 1 each week, then they would reach 7.8 billion guests in only 31 more weeks (just three weeks more than there are left in the season.
  • Sirancha has two Porgs in the shot and Asterios has a porg on his shoulder for much of the video.

Quotes

  • Pete: We have you guys here because we love you.
