Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
A wuga a woga.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's happening. We're going on tour again, but this time
it's a little different because we're not going to the
four cities.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
We usually go to.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're going to the Midwest West. After nine full years
of request, we've decided, sure, why not. We are heading
to the Midwest at the end of August in the
beginning of September. And we are so excited to see you,
and not just see you, but discuss something that we've
been avoiding discussing for nearly a decade.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And what is that, Caitlin, Oh, do you mean the
Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Prequelter Many have done it, but have anyone? Has anyone
ever done it from an intersectional feminist perspective? No? No,
And we're gonna find out just why that is so
ill advised. We're so excited to be doing our prequel
show on tour. If you've never been to a Bexel
Cash show, here are some things you can expect. You

(00:58):
can expect the normal, you know, the discussion that you
love with the Bechdel cast. You can expect cosplaying. You
can expect erotic fan fiction, yes, unhinged erotic fan fiction.
You can expect I mean, there's really no limit. You
can expect a full explanation as to why Babu Frick
is actually in charge of the entire Star Wars multiverse. Oh,

(01:20):
and you can expect which I'm most excited about. And
I think we should rehearse full re enactments of key scenes.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
So there's a lot going on, and as with every
Bechdel cast show, there is exclusive merch. There's a meet
and greet after. Everyone's super nice. You're guaranteed to make
a friend, and it's just a good vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's a great vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
But Caitlin, where the hell are these shows happening?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
And when I will tell you everything, Jamie. Okay, we
are starting off the tour in Indianapolis as a part
of Let's Fest. It's a Saturday, August thirtieth matinee, which leaves.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Room for seeing my show that night. Yeah, it's a
new show and putting together starring me and my pet Rock,
not to be missed. And it's at the same exact theater,
which is Fountain Square Theater.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
See you there, see you there now. The very next
day we are going to be in Chicago at the
Den Theater. That's a Sunday night. It's a seven o'clock show,
question Mark seven fifteen something like that. It's an evening show. Yeah,
So come on down for that.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Then we will be in Madison. We will be in
Madison a couple days later on September fourth. That's going
to be at the Burr Oak at seven thirty pm.
And we are bringing it home. And by home, I
mean to Minneapolis, Minnesota. That's going to be on September
seventh at Dudley Riggs Theater. So if you are a

(02:55):
fan of the show, if you know someone who is
a fan of Star Wars or some how the Star
Wars prequels, expect the normal recaps. But it's gonna be
a silly one. It's gonna be a fun one. We're
gonna figure out if the Midichlorians make any sense. We're
gonna this consider this to be the final word.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is jar Jar Banks going to be a special guest.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Maybe there's, of course gonna be a lot of jar
je our talk. There's gonna be a lot of you know,
I'm sure that Padme's narrative is going to do great
by our metrics.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Feminist masterpiece, feminist icon padme and yeah, it's just gonna
be a blast.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Ask anyone who's been to our live shows in the past,
and we're we're also just so excited to come to
the Midwest because we owe you one, we really do.
So if you live in those cities, tickets are available now.

link tree which is link Tree slash Bechdel Cast. And
also just a reminder, if you are a member of

(03:57):
our Patreon aka Matreon, you get an exclusive little button
when you come and say hi to us after the show.
So we like to think of it as like a
community event as well, because everyone is so nice, and
it's also easy to forget that people hear the show.
Does that make sense. Sometimes you're like, oh, there you
