Summary

Asterios Kokkinos & Sirancha take a break from The Loudest Podcast to observe a tense meeting between Snoke and his pupil Kylo Ren!

Guests

Asterios Kokkinos and Sirancha

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Snoke bragging about his "sharp tool" and it ends with Snoke saying that maybe he was mistaken.

Podcast

  • Since there are no porgs in this minute, Asterios and Sirancha will have to "bring the porg".
  • Thoughts on Andy Serkis.
    • Could he appear in Star Wars another role? He of all people could be anything.
      • Actors who played double (or triple) duty in Star Wars.
      • Mentioned Burnell Tucker.
      • Anthony Daniels and Ahmed Best in Attack of the Clones.
  • This scene is just bad guys being crappy to each other.
    • Snoke starts bad-mouthing Hux the moment he leaves, actually before the elevator doors are even closed.
  • Discussion of the word 'Cur' and "Les Miserables".
  • Does Snoke know he's a puppet? How much agency does he really have?
    • Maybe his memory is wipef when he was born.
    • Maybe it's like Dooku, where he thought he was on the plan, but then Palpatine turned on him.
  • Pete likes musicals but has not seen or heard "Les Mis".
    • North Korean Museum gifts from around the world to our glorious leader.
      • "Anne Hathaway teeth" are like "chunks of the Berlin Wall" – don't be fooled by imitations!
      • Supposedly Uday Hussein's favorite movie was Air Bud and he own multiple copies. An imaginedrRift in the "Air Bud" fandom between Air Bud and Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver.

Meta Minute

  • 27:06 podcast episode length.
  • Mark Hamill appeared alongside his "identical twin cousin" Luke Skywalker in the Muppet Star Wars episode.
  • Air Bud is about a dog that can play basketball. It spawned numerous sequels and spin-offs.
  • Asterios get so excited talking about Watto that his headphones fall off.

Quotes

  • Pete: (Coining a phrase) As "happy as a cur", that guy.
  • Sirancha: I believe his [Jean Valjean] name is artoo-detoo?
  • Asterios: (still talking about "Les Mis") This movie's boring I want to talk about a better movie [...] wait no why is 'cur' popular, I just talked a lot and didn't say anything.
  • Sirancha: if I were Snoke and I knew they were forty thousand backup Snokes, I wouldn't be too keen on executing Palpatine's plans.
  • Asterios: (referring to Russell Crowe) Phone-thrower McYells-a-lot.

Asterios: (singing operatically as Russell Crowe) ...you stole a loaf of bread! You stole the bread, you're a cur! You're always gonna be a cur!—and I was like "exit stage Kokkinos!".

  • Pete: The movie bombed so bad Ann Hathaway had to sell her teeth. Sirancha: It's really sad that that's what millionaire actresses are forced to go to.
  • Alex: (as Watto) Money is no good here, only molars!
  • Alex: they had to put the whole [Air Bud] franchise on "paws" [pause].
  • Alex: Speaking of verbal humiliation...
