Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Rose saying "Red Plom bloom!" Red Plom bloom! Ends with Rey training with her staff.
Podcast
- Regardless how you feel about BB-8 being full of coins, at least they committed to it. You can hear the jangle of the coins as he rolls.
- When they see the plom bloom, the music is really orchestral and over-scored.
- The master codebreaker feels like he's from another universe, and so the music is fitting.
- When they get apprehended and the music stops; it doesn't change to another part of the score, it just stops.
- The two thuds of BB-8 being chucked down the stairs and the cut to Rey are in time with the music.
- Why is the master codebreaker even allowed in to the casino? He would have an unfair advantage, like a card counter.
- What about a Force user? According to the visual dictionary he's only allowed to play dice games (nothing electronic).
- Maybe there's Force-blocking creatures.

Meta Minute
- 34:15 podcast episode length.
- HowToPronounce.com does have a listing for "fathier", and it's not only different from how Alex pronounces it, but from how Pete and Chrysanthe pronounce it as well. Maybe we've all been saying it wrong this whole time.
- With a police force of approximately one officer for every 74 citizens, Monaco is among the most policed countries in the world. Officers are armed, and according to GunPolicy.org, the Monegasque police possess roughly two guns per officer.
- The white-haired Riff Raff-lookin' alien doesn't actually have a name, and is known as TLJ species #30 on the blog Alien Anthology.
- The Ysalamiri (the Force-blocking lizards) are still canon, but their ability to block the Force only appears in Legends.
Quotes
- Pete: Maybe that's why I don't own a space casino. Alex: *chuckling* I think that's the only thing stopping you…
