Guest commentator Hal Lublin decides if The Resistance are cowards, traitors or both but Poe thinks he has the answer!

Starts with Poe shouting the word "plan" and ends with Poe being escorted off the bridge.

Referenced: the Vaudeville Hook.
Some people's major complaint is that Holdo doesn't just tell Poe everything, but that's not how the military (or other structured organizations) works.
- Poe's arc in this movie revolves around learning what it is to be a leader and a hero, and he's not there yet. We saw at the start of the movie he's perfectly willing to sacrifice others but not necessarily himself.
- Poe acts like a baby, so it is reasonable that he's treated like one.
Cowards and traitors. This would be a good name for an album by the Merle Haggard of space.
"Hope is like the sun...". Why the if we're in space where there's loads of suns?
- Hope is mentioned in every Star Wars movie. Mentioned: Hope Floats, Road to Morocco.
Luke was supposed to be the last hope, and he ends up like basically every other Jedi (running away and hiding). Should we expect the same from Rey?
Are there shoulder holsters for blasters? Pretty much just Bill Burr's character. Mentioned: "The Real World".
People are constantly running away from the Rebellion. Anybody who is left in gets made a general pretty quickly.
- Now that Rose is off ship, people are probably taking all the escape pods. Mentioned: Tase Crazy.
Background extras like Willrow Hood and the stormtrooper who hit his head being played by unknown actors.
Mentioned: Peet Deretalia, Template:Wookie

32:59 podcast episode length.
In Hope Floats (1998), the word "hope" is spoken 7 times, and the word "hopeless" a further 2 times. Bob Hope is one of the stars of Road to Morocco in which the word "hope" is spoken twice, and the word "hopeless" once.
According to TheDrive.com, it is often possible to mute gas station TV.
There is no mention anywhere on Wookieepedia of who played Willrow Hood, unless the extra who portrayed him comes forward, his identity will most likely remain a mystery.
You can follow Leah Derham-Boyce on Twitter.

Pete: Organa out! *makes zooming away hand gesture and jetpack sound effects* Alex: Well his name is "Bail".
