Guests

Alison Rosen and Daniel Quantz

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Finn dumping out a trash can, and ends with Rey telling Ben he will not bow before Snoke.
  • BB-8 does mouse droid sounds.
  • BB-9E. They called him "BB-HATE" on set.
  • The scene of them walking through First Order cubicles was originally much longer.
  • Rey and Kylo's elevator is seen in the background.
  • Even more hazardous platforms with no railings.

Podcast

  • Remember: Finn used to be in sanitation.
    • What does the First Order throw away? Dental floss?
    • The First Order probably doesn't recycle/compost (you know, because they're the bad guys).
  • The Star Wars visual anesthetic. Lived-in vs. clean and polished. Mentioned: Kinko's (note: see below). Long Time.
  • 15% too much comedy. What scene(s) would you cut?
  • When did DJ have time to sell them out?
  • Maggie Simpson's rivalry with the evil baby.
  • Our guests initial reactions on seeing The Last Jedi and feelings as of now.
    • The film makers reacting to what they misinterpreted as can consensus (rather than a small number of loud people).
    • Appreciating movies on their own merit rather than comparing them against what you expected they'd be like.
      • These really are movies for kids.
    • The sense of scale and trying time and again to wow the audience with how big things can get. The "language of cinema" in Star Wars as taught in film school. Mentioned: Alternate opening on Finn's medical bubble.
  • Just like the Empire, the First Order scrimps on safety equipment. Mentioned: The Hudsucker Proxy (1994).

Other 'BB' units

  • bbl

Meta Minute

  • 42:02 podcast episode length.
  • Kinko's hasn't been a thing since 2008, when parent company FedEx rebranded its copy centers as FedEx Office, although the changeover wasn't complete in some areas until 2010.

Quotes

  • Alison: [Evil BB-8] looks like a Roomba on top of a radio.
