Alternative notions for the collective name. Meta notes a group of puffins is called a circus. Also a colony, a puffinry, a burrow, a gathering, or an I'm probability.

Summary
Guest commentators Asterios Kokkinos & Sirancha spark a debate about whether Kylo's helmet is totally excellent or ridiculous excrement!
Guests
Asterios Kokkinos and Sirancha
Notes
Film
- Starts with Snoke thinking that Kylo Ren would be the one to snuff it out, and ends with Rey telling Luke that there's no light left in Kylo Ren (so I guess he did snuff it out).
Podcast
- Snoke is continuing to be verbally abusive toward kylo Ren.
- Despite being the guy that killed Han Solo (one of our favorite characters) we actually do feel a little sorry for Kylo Ren (thanks a lot, Rian).
- The running theme that the First Order is like the world's worst office.
- They probably all talk about Kylo Ren behind his back. There's a betting pool to determine when he's going to throw his next tantrum.
- Or anytime anybody breaks something they can blame Kylo Ren (he's the "not me").
- Elevators in every Star Wars, except for The Force Awakens.
| Star Wars | In the detention block when Luke and Han are dressed as stormtroopers and they're facing the wrong way. |
| Empire | on Cloud City they're escaping Stormtroopers and go into an elevator. Also Vader has excellent elevator timing. And glucose up on a platform when he's in the carbon-freezing chamber. Return of the Jedi Luke and Vader show to the emperor's Throne Room by an elevator Phantom Menace Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan on the Emoji and ship. But double check that one. It's at the Clones the first time we see a adult Anakin together with OB Juan is in an elevator difference between on-screen versus novelization. |
- What porg merch are our guests still looking for?
- Asterios wants the bigfoot porg (from the Bigfoot plush line)
- And then there's the porg piebird (Williams and Sonoma).
- Asterios and Sirancha should set up a wishlist.
Meta Minute
- 28:05 podcast episode length.
- We are now only 1/8th the way through this movie (12.5%).
Quotes
