Just got home like sixteen seconds ago. Welcome to ATG Live,
your Thursday night home for Star Wars nonsense, Star Wars,
drinking games, Star Wars trivia questions. We really haven't done
that in a long time, but we like to say
everything Star Wars you want to find, you find it
here on a Thursday night.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I am Nick Milky.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
I am also joined by my good friend and co host,
mister Pete Fletzer, who, as I said, literally just walked
in the door from spending a week in the great
city of Boston, Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Pete, what is happening? I don't know. I mean, it's
it's just it's weird. We went from having like a
billion Star Wars stories last week to like having to
dig to the bottom of the barrel to find something.
But I think that's the way it's going to be
for a while. And I think that's kind of like where,
you know, one of the things we want to talk
about with our guests tonight, just like now what and
Or's gone and Or's over? Like what are we doing next?

(02:40):
And and I'm excited and I do love that there
are that there are podcast stats are like, Hey, we
don't know what we're going to talk about. We do
come on in every Thursday night and hang out with us.
So but as I said before, we do have a
special show tonight. We are joined by Tim Barnes of
the Ub Nub Podcast. We seem to rotate all three
of those guys through, whether it's Greg Ewinsky, Jim Fagan,

(03:01):
love love love those guys, love their show, love their perspective,
and last time Tim was on, I just couldn't stop laughing.
So we are in for a special exciting treat tonight.
For sure, we are in for a treat. I'm always
thrilled when any of the nub fellas join us. Before
we get to Tim, we've got a couple of other
important business items to get to. As we do most

(03:22):
every single week, it is my turn to talk about
all the ways that you can find us pay for
things that I don't know. Maybe that's not how I
want to say for us.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
You go too, pay for us if you go to
the SSW network dot com. That is your one stop
shop for literally everything we do, new stories, new releases,
video clips, audio clips that will also redirect you to
YouTube everywhere on social media. We are at the SSW network.
More importantly, you can find our merchandise shop. It's in

(03:56):
need of a little bit of refresh. Pete and I've
been kicking around some ideas, but you can find t shirts,
some of the old favorites, classes, flags, coffee mugs, you
name it something with a podcast no one's ever heard from.
Buy it, Send it to your friends. You know, Father's
Day Sunday. It's it is too late for you to
get it in time, but buy mom anyhow who cares.
Just give you Dad's love that yeah, send them a

(04:17):
note that says, hey, I got you a gift from
a podcast you've never heard of.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
They'll never feel more love than if you get it
next week sometime We're.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
After right, and you'll get it three weeks from now
when it gets drop chipped from whoever printed it for us.
You can also find our Patreon link. We love our patrons.
We have a tremendously wonderful group of patrons who support
what we do, both with the Around the Galaxy podcast,
this show, other things that we do along the way,
like Road to Rebellion. For as little as three dollars

(04:44):
a month, you're going to get some inside information, you're
going to get some swag sent to you, which we're
due to send some more swag out. So patents that
are watching, we're going to hit you up with something
pretty soon. And I think we probably need a patron's
happy hour sometime soon, just a chance to hang out
and casually have a drink and hang out with everybody.
So you can find that there, and then you can
also find as you will see right here. I even
pointed to the right place, our voicemail line five zero

(05:07):
four three two one one five zero one. If you
call that number anytime, day or night. Leave us your
Star Wars thoughts, chats, theories, ideas, anything that you're thinking
about Star Wars and you want us to talk about,
call it and leave it there. We'll play it on
the show. We'll talk about it. We've even played the
ones where people call and say they think we're idiots,
so we're fun. We'll talk about it, we'll laugh about it.

(05:28):
Leave us a message.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
So if you think we're idiots, please leave us a voicemail.
Then please by all means back that up and leave us. Yeah,
but you kind of have a reason. I mean, you
can't just say I don't like your face. I mean
that's also a possibility, but whatever, hey listen. We also
have recently wrapped up our Road to Rebellion podcast series.

(05:50):
We did seven parts where we took a part indoor
and we dug through it, and we also had speaking
phone calls. We took your calls. We went through those
as well, had some great conversations with the politics of Vandora.
All seven episodes are in the podcast stream, so go
check them out, go find them, listen to them. And again,
those are cool ones to share. I like those. Those

(06:11):
are fun. So there are lots and lots of fun.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Every week we have to bring in the two people
who literally make sure that we don't mess this up,
because three weeks ago both of them were gone and
we messed up everything. We broke it all. It's like, yeah,
it's like when your parents go away and you have
a party and you don't know how to hide it
before they get home. So first of all, I want
to bring in our good friend mister Chris Ryan's one
of our producers, Christopher good evening, what's.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Up, Pete Yes? I was like I was lulled and
the next said something, Pete yes, how can I help
you man doing great.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Great, I uh not a lot of Star Wars news,
which means not a lot of Star Wars bullshit.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
But.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Is not a funny thing when there's not news, but
we don't have to get mad about it. And then
there is news and we want to talk about it,
but somebody's going to be mad about it.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I kind of like it. I am doing to rewatch
of obi Wan right now though, Oh yeah, that's exciting. Okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
My oldest has been requesting that, but obi Wan or yes,
I rewatch of obi Wan.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Somebody called me out on Twitter today. Somebody who follows me,
uh called me out on Twitter because somebody was like,
all pissed off of that. I can't believe we're not
getting a second season of Accolade and you people got
it canceled. And somebody was like, Pete Flincher from ATG
Cash is not Ah is not an anti s j
W and he doesn't like it. Was like, it's true,
but Pete, we.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
We talked about this last week for a second, right,
I said, no acolytes slander. I know in my presence
you're doing it right now. I'm so well, let's yeah, save.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Me let we're gonna We're gonna move on because we
have another member of this team who also helps us
out and make sure that we do things the right way.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Kelsey Puckett is here. Kelsey, how are you this evening.

Speaker 7 (08:18):
Doing a little bit better than last week? You know,
I had time to write my own stories, so I
can't get angry at Pete.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I don't know, I mean fun, there's definitely still time.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
I mean I might start you in like negative one
hundred points tonight, but that's okay.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I might have to like really work my way out
of that hole for sure.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
So maybe, Babe, you absolutely have to work your way out.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Well.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
We are excited, we have a fantastic show. We're glad
both of you are here. We know y'all going to
keep things running smoothly in the background, making sure everybody's
where they're supposed to be, Cameras are right, videos are played,
all that good stuff, and then we're going to see
you in a little bit when it's time to go
around the galaxy for our favorite news game, fake Points situation.

(09:04):
So thank y'all for being here, and we will see
both of you sometime very soon.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
So, Nick, we got to do the toast and you're
not on Twitter anymore, and that's I'm not on Twitter,
and it's smart and it's much more responsible than me.
But I say I do it because of the show,
because so many people watch the show through Twitter. That's fine,
I can do that. But we also have a little
patron DM group. And this week somebody threw down the

(09:31):
gauntlet and challenged you to this week's chat, and it
was I've heard that I have been called out, So
I have been and so let's bring him in, Brian Fantasy.
You muted Brian? All right? How about that? Perfect? There
is Brian.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
And here's one of the things I love about Brian
Finness because I have met Brian Finness in person. We
went and saw The Phantom Menace together for Potathon last year.
We have been at We're Space friends for several years now.
I love that Brian never misses the opportunity to point
out that his name is spelled correctly, unlike those posters
who spell it b R y A N every time.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
He's just the best person. I don't know how to
remove that now, Yes, well it works, it totally works. Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
I'm excited that you're here. I'm excited that you're here
for the challenge. Pete, do you do you need to
referee this challenge.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm not good. I'm not going to choke because I
don't stand a chance. So I am going to declare,
and I'm going to bring in Kelsey to help me
with this. She and I will declare the winner of
this chug off, if that is such a thing. So
let me set you guys up in the right positions here.
Let me get this here and and run that back

(10:48):
to the beginning. Yeah, we got a full time. I
only got all right. He's got a gin there, so
on a lego to me, I'm down with that. That's
that's a win.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
I may win this on a technicality if he chokes
on his lego, minifig jen erso. But I am raising
because it is June or so. As we have said
many times, I'm sinking my gin into my beer and
I'm going to raise my toast tonight to the people
of Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
We have been watching for more than a week now.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
The horrible things that are going on, the ways that
they are being mistreated by our government. In my best
woody page, I have my board tonight, and my board
says the galaxy is watching La is the Gore. We
are absolutely in support of our friends in Los Angeles,
which we have through this show and through you know,

(11:39):
personal connection. So we are raising our June or so
toast tonight to the people of Los Angeles when they
say in andor Feryx Stone and sky cheers and happy
June or.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
So here we go, Ready, three, two, one go.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
My gosh, it wasn't even close.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
If I was wearing it. He gave that to off
he wearing a hat. I would take it off you.
And here's what here's what's even better. I can't wait to.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Go back and watch this when the show is done tonight,
as I usually do. As soon as the show's over,
I loaded up and just make sure I don't sound
like an idiot. I can't wait to go back and
watch that because your internet glitched out right when we
started drinking, and then when it come back in, you
were done, and everybody was like, holy crap, look at that.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
So I really didn't even see it, but I know
that you smoked me.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
I was about to accuse you of cheating too, because
you started with it like right up at your mouth
and he.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Started on the floor and.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Holy I know when I'm an inference man. Congratulations, there's
a lot of Well, now, hey, I have a scheme
for us. We're going to go to SEC college football
games and bet kids twenty dollars a.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Beer, absolutely which easy money.

Speaker 9 (13:08):
My daughter has informed me that Auburn now is in
like one of her top three. So we are going
to be heading down there, probably for a visit, hopefully
during a football game.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
While we're down there.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, call me, we will you know it together, Brian,
thank you so much for coming and doing that.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
That was a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
And like I said, I can't wait to go back
and watch how horribly I lost at that.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh it's fine. That was Oh no, Brian, don't let
him off the hook because next now we're going to
have you go against Cory. And that's all right.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Now, here's the thing. Corey spills. Cory spills a lot.
Corey's he's very into it. He's got a little spillage.
But I'm pretty sure Brian is a very professional drink.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
That was good. That was nice and clean, it was
It's perfect well done.

Speaker 9 (13:55):
Well, I think I'm not used to the beard quite
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
But yeah, that's Okay, that's a yeah, that's all right,
that's part of the deal. All right. Well, we are

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yes? Yes, Okay, get to know.

Speaker 10 (15:37):
I think we're all having some interesting technical difficulties today,
so I've been scrambling. I went from my laptop to
my iPad. I think, Nick, you've briefly cloned yourself.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Am I the only person I don't know what happened? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
You at one point?

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Really yeah, but I'm very.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Okay, very happy to be here.

Speaker 10 (15:55):
I think it's like like like one of those hazy holograms.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
That you get on a case Star Wars Gallus.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's actually really appropriate. And also.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
I think you guys can back me up on this,
because we're both gentlemen of a similar age.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I feel like we've reached the.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Point in our modern technology where things like hey, it's
storming outside should not be the thing that like messes
up my internet.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
But it's very rumbling and thundery where I am.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
But my internet has been garbage since the show started tonight,
so I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 10 (16:25):
There's something I mean, yeah, I mean, my conspiracy theory
brain is constantly moving forward, so I'm not even going
to dive into that.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's clearly the cloud seating for sure. Yeah, Kim trails
birds in the air. Something is mess had to be here.

Speaker 10 (16:43):
You continue to be the most professional Star Wars podcast
or experience, most professional Star Wars experience outside of the
proper lucasfilm. It's very I'm very impressed every single time.
You guys are having a lot of fun here.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yes we are, well, Yes.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
That is always the goal, that is always the point.
Can we have fun? Can we do some crazy stuff,
some silly stuff? Can we chug beers with action figures
in it? I mean, who doesn't want that?

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm surprised Lucasfilm hasn't stolen that from us yet at
this point, I mean, it's only a matter of time.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Pedro Pascal in that little Rugue one hallway that they
keep using for all their videos checking a beer, like,
when is that going to happen? It's gotta be it. Well, Tim,
we are always thrilled.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
When you're here. We love yab Nub, We love all.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
Three of you guys, and we always have so much
fun when we get to hang out with any of you.
We're going to dive in tonight a little bit. We've
talked about and you know, the headline for the show tonight.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Was and Or's over. Now what yeh?

Speaker 5 (17:47):
We have finished season one and two of and Or.
We've gotten all of that obviously, we got Rugu one
a few years ago. So here's my question to you
to kick us off. Now Thatandor has wrapped up its
run and it is arguably probably the most critically received
any of the Disney Star Wars TV shows.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Where do we go from here?

Speaker 5 (18:05):
What is the direction that we had, whether it's tone,
whether it's storytelling. And Or is very specific. We've got
other shows that go in kind of into different lanes.
But in your opinion as a writer, as somebody who
works in television. How do we where do we go
from here?

Speaker 10 (18:20):
First of all, I just want to know that there's
a flickering Martin Luther King Junior.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Do you see that?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
I have a yes right behind, right right by the
lightsaber with Greggs.

Speaker 10 (18:33):
I have a painting of Martin Luther Junior on my
wall and it really wants to pierce through it.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
We're trying to send out yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, but my mind.

Speaker 10 (18:47):
I know that it seems that the focus isn't on
streaming or television at the moment, but I I my
hope is that you know, we can like lean into this,
uh this energy of and Or. And I had this
thought watching specifically season two of and Or, thinking about
the general feedback or like the weird feedback element of

(19:10):
and Or. And I had this thought where it was like,
maybe people would know how to be on board with
this show if and a show like and Or were
licensed to like HBO, for instance. I think that is
the that is the separation that makes it easier to
digest and So, I don't know, I kind of hope

(19:31):
that maybe something like that is in the future, because
that's not dissimilar to what lucasfilm was doing anyway, like
George Lucas used to fully produce something and then you know,
have you know, see which which buyer.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Was interested in it.

Speaker 10 (19:45):
And I think that, you know, maybe that type of
thing is the future. Not everything has to be sort
of in house in the same way. And it seems
like a lot of you know, studios and networks are
into that kind of thing. Is it kind of that
cross pollinate, that cross pollinization. I was, you know, interested
to build outside of like your one main hub.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
So it's an interesting thought. And I wonder how many
the question I always have when these shows come on.
It's great to see like apparently and or had like
record setting viewership for the for the last episodes or something.
I didn't read the article I saw walking in But
how much of an a of an impact does it

(20:25):
have to have?

Speaker 10 (20:26):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Does it have to be on the same Uh? I'm sorry,
I'm just getting distracted.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
All right, all right, let's go ahead and clear the
air because Kelsey's in the background, Chris is in the background.
They're both having Caesar's right now.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
I have muted and unmuted my microphone three times, and
every time I mute my microphone, it changes the camera.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
That's what's happening right now. I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
To call you the most professional.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Way to go, you cur you cursed us? All right?
I guess the question I have is I wonder, I
always wonder. Yeah, the show does great, the show gets
great viewership. But the only number that really mattered, Well,
there's two numbers that matter. Right, there's the number of
new new subscriptions and maintain subscriptions. Right, did it drive
more monthly revenue? And the second thing is merchandise. I'm

(21:16):
pretty sure and Or is not heavy on merchandise, you know,
not yet, any people yet. I think there's a chance
you do, know.

Speaker 10 (21:25):
Yeah, it's like a nice lego set that that helps
you build the hologram of Marva giving a impassion speech.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
Okayly fun.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
But to your point, would Disney maybe make more by
selling it to an HBO or or a different network
to or licensing it rather And yeah.

Speaker 10 (21:47):
I'm really into companies having vibes. Let companies have vibes again. Yeah,
that's my big takeaway. I think so many you know,
streamers are trying to meet the everything service and it
is a little you know, jarring sometimes that you know,
I can watch, you know, a nice fun Saturday morning
kids cartoon and I could probably with you know, Disney

(22:10):
owning FX watch Louie.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
I don't know, like it's not I watched.

Speaker 10 (22:14):
I shouldn't be able to watch Bluie and Louie on
the same service.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
I think that we need.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, you know, it's interesting because like with Hulu, like
why not throw it on Hulu? Right, because not everybody
who has Hulu has Disney Plus. Go watch it on Hulu.
It's a Hulu type show, right, it's a little bit edgy,
it's a little bit yeah, all right, all right, now
you've talked me into it. Now we just get to
talk hire into it. See if we can. If you're
watching again, I know you're always keeping your eye on us,

(22:42):
let's think about that. But so they also I think
that's a really interesting perspective. But they also have there's
a lot of pressure, I think, and I want to
get to see if you agree with the Mandalorian and
Grogu film hitting theaters right, this is the return to
return to theaters for the Star Wars franchise. How much

(23:03):
pressure do you think is on the Mandalorian and Grogle.
How how good does it have to perform to be
the win that it needs to be to kind of
hate to say save the franchise, but for I mean,
if it bombs, if you get Thunderbolts numbers for Mando
and Grogu, that's a big problem.

Speaker 10 (23:26):
It certainly is more pressure than any other standalone Star
Wars movie because of how much time there's been, Like
this is hopefully setting the standard for us not necessarily
needing some sort of site Skywalker.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Trilogy, like maybe we can just have sort of one offs.

Speaker 10 (23:47):
But I think it's in a unique position because it is,
you know, connecting to its own specifically developed nostalgia.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
I don't want to think about how.

Speaker 10 (23:57):
Many years it's been since the first season of The
Mandalorian in but it's enough years for us to have
built up this stalzer for it very shocking to me.
And so it's it's like an introduction. It's like a
reintroduction for some people.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
I'm sure.

Speaker 10 (24:12):
I'm sure for a number of people this might be
their intro to the Mando universe and they'll start watching
the show afterwards.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
It's the biggest.

Speaker 10 (24:24):
And this will kind of define this next stage of
Star Wars where you know, there's gonna be that Ahsoca
movie as well. Right, so there will be numerous live
action Star Wars films that have origins in live action television,
and that's a new territory for us. And I think
that they'll kind of like take a look at what

(24:44):
happens with the Mandalorian movie and construct.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Things around that.

Speaker 10 (24:49):
But also maybe it's a good litmus test before they
make a you know, before the Ray you know trilogy
comes out, to see where people how people feel about
a number of things, how people feel about this era
of the Star Wars timeline in general.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, yeah, it'll be a big deal.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I also feel like they're going to be watching July
when they when Jurassic Park, Superman, and Fantastic Four all hit,
and see if there's still a demand for genre movies,
right because we don't know why Thunderbolts failed or I
hate to say failed because people say Solo failed. It
didn't totally fail, but the impact of a of a

(25:32):
July like that could also it's gonna it's they're certainly
gonna be watching closely, to say the least.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
So yeah, well, and I want to chime in right
behind this, and it kind of leads into my next question.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
That comment that Brian just made, he said.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Everyone knows maybe Yoda, not everyone knows the Mandalorian story
with and or raising the bar in terms of political commentary.
Kind of this grounded in quote unquote a real world.
It wasn't Jedi, it wasn't Lightsabers, it wasn't you know,
a lot of.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
The more traditional Star Wars stuff.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Can a film that is centered on a very wide audience,
you know, centric something like Baby Yoda. I've said a
million times, my mother who's almost seventy watches the Mandalorian
Grogu but or watches the Mandalorian because Babyoda's cute. She
doesn't give a crap about any other Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Can it?

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Can it hit kind of that similar mark for Star
Wars fans while also appealing to a broader audience, is
that something Can those two things mess together?

Speaker 10 (26:35):
I you know, the more I think about it, the
more I don't know, because I'm starting to remember how
sort of standalone is the Mandalorian and Grogu's story seemed
at first, but how progressively intertwined it is with the
sequel trilogy. And the mystery about Snoke and all the
stuff like that. So now I don't know what the

(26:55):
ultimate mission of this movie will be. Will it be
sort of a standalone adventure or will it have you know,
mof Gideon and uh like will it be a pivotal
point in this like grander puzzle.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
I think in.

Speaker 10 (27:09):
That way, I one do not know how to expect
and I have no concept of how people will react
to it, and that is kind of exciting, like it
it is potentially going to do both and if they
and if it can do both of those things very well,
like be a really fun adventure with the beginning, middle
and end that you know, maybe you don't have, doesn't end.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
On the cliffhanger of it of any any sort, but then.

Speaker 10 (27:33):
Also maybe explained some of the Snoke mystery that's made
people a little a little frustrated and live action, so.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's it's interesting too because
I think so many there's so much experience, so like
I always talk about when when we went to see
Rise of Skywalker, I think it was, yeah, it was
Risas Skywalker because that was when Mando Season one was ending.
Wait that time, and I remember my sister in law
who doesn't watch Star Wars but always came with us

(28:03):
to the Star Wars movies with her son. It was
like a Christmas time things. What we did. We walked
out of the movies. She said, I thought there was
a baby Yoda in this, and so, as Brian Fantasy
was saying before in the chat, like, everybody knows who
baby Yoda is, So people are going to go and
be like, Oh, that's what everybody's story about. That's what's
on the shirt. I've been wearing for three years, so
I know what it was. But to your point, it's

(28:23):
really interesting. I think they have to be really careful.
And I think this is also this goes to the
question from last week about who's going to take over
for Kathleen Kennedy. I don't want this to be a
setup for the next piece of lore, Like I think
they need to be mindful of loare movies versus just
good movies, right, And I think and Or was great

(28:46):
for setting up lore if you wanted it to. But
if all you cared about was how the rebellion came
to be, it was great for that too. And when
it ended, it ended, and you were fine with where
it ended, and it wasn't setting up you know, the
Adventures of Dix and be two Emo, right, it was
just it was it was just its own thing. And
I think that's where they need to be more focused.

(29:06):
So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (29:08):
I think and a lot about how, like how Ryan
Coopler says there's not going to be a sequel to Sinners,
and we'll see how true that is after that twenty
five year embargo goes up and he has the full
rights to his own movie. But it is one of
those movies where you know it has an ending, and
I'm often daydreaming about, you know, what a sequel could be.
It has so much seql potential in its own way.

(29:30):
But it is exciting to know that he has no
interest in that.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
And so it.

Speaker 10 (29:35):
Kind of takes me back to what Star Wars was
for a long time, where fans had a lot of
time to just daydream and talk to their friends and
kind of fantasize about what is happening with their their
favorite characters. And I think that's a great thing to
kind of to kind of bring back, because we need
some time to breathe.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Now we get so inundated with too many things.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, the last question I want to ask you that
I think the has one for you before we get
to our next segment. But the let me put it
this way, do you think it was too safe of
a move to take season four of Mandalorian and turn
it into a movie or do you think it was
the right move based on the fact that of the
popularity of this little green dude that is, you know,

(30:19):
you can't throw a cat on the street without hitting
somebody wearing a baby y Oda shirt still to this day.

Speaker 10 (30:25):
I that is a tough question because I think I
am in the camp of people who, just like I
really want Star Wars and a lot of other franchises
to figure out how to make longer seasons of episode
television and a number of ways, like and we've talked

(30:48):
about this on yubnub, Like when I finally watched the
Rebels animated series, I was like, this is the best
example of that, actually, And I think that there is
a way to do this with live action, and I
don't know why it hasn't been done necessarily, but Jon
Favreau is a very talented filmmaker.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
He makes films, and so.

Speaker 10 (31:12):
I've always considered and what I what I appreciated about
that first batch of groundbreaking Disney Star Wars live action
television is that it did seem like an incubator of sorts.
I love seeing those roundtable discussions with all the filmmakers
they got together to make that those first few seasons,
and it was just it felt like experimenting. It felt

(31:34):
to me like the Star Wars version of what American
Zootrope was meant to be. And so keeping that in mind,
I think that they figured out a lot of interesting things,
and hopefully the films, the feature films, are just using
the best of all of that learning period. So I have,

(31:57):
you know, equal amounts of faith and equal amounts of
of a little a little bit of concern. But I'm
excited to see what comes out. The trailer really has
it has the trailer is going to be a very
big deal when it comes out.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
And just like Matt said, it's been six and a
half years since we've had a Star Wars movie, it's
by the time it comes out, I mean, you know,
obviously Prize of Skywalkers twenty nineteen, six and a half years.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
By the time we get to next year, whenever this
movie comes out, and.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
There we'll wrap the children who were born when The
Rise of Sky came out, who are old.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Enough to go see this movie you exactly exactly, or
who are exactly.

Speaker 10 (32:40):
Stuck in quarantine watching the you know these shows?

Speaker 5 (32:44):
You know, Yeah, ver I get to get out and
go to a theater. Well, so I'm going to ask
you this one. We're gonna get out of here, and
we're gonna go to a commercial break and we're gonna
come back and when we play our news game looking ahead.
If I'm giving you, Tim Barnes, this is purely an
editorial opinion based question, I'm giving you the future of
Star Wars films. Do you put it more in films

(33:04):
like the Mandalorian Grogu with familiar characters, or do you
lean more into bold kind of genre defying defying stories
like and or. If you're in charge, if you're the
Catholic entity replacement, where are you putting your energy and
efforts for Star Wars and lucasfilm going forward?

Speaker 10 (33:24):
I would go for the bold genre stuff, just because
I don't think that people will will blame you to
a certain degree with that, and that to a large extent,
that's what they've done with with the live action Star
Wars TV shows. But I think it's it's a very

(33:48):
worthy endeavor because you can just kind of kind of
test test the waters of that. And I think that
there is just like a few of what you can
do outside of the confines of the Joseph Campbell type
theory and story and so just having little things where

(34:10):
you kind of nudge and you poke around. And I
mean when I first saw that first season of and
Or with those those arcs, I really did feel like
I would pay money to watch that first arc in
a movie theater. I was, you know, I would pay
money for that. They were great films. And I guess

(34:35):
I don't see the I don't see the harm in that.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
But yeah, yeah, I'm trying not to ramble.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
No, it is I'm trying to get And it feels
like the streaming world is trying to figure out what
it wants to be. Does it want to be you know,
episodic TV, or does it want to be a twelve
hour movie or you know, yeah, yeah, And from.

Speaker 10 (34:52):
What I've seen Tony gil Royce in certain interviews, like
he was told at some point during the filming of
season two that like the streaming or the amount of
focus on streaming is.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Kind of dead. So it's like, I feel like.

Speaker 10 (35:04):
Every couple of years people are getting a very different
story about what the focus is on. And I think
that feature films allows you to really zero in on
a very specific thing. Can you make audiences in a
live setting have these emotions right? And there are just
too many variables, and television used to be a very

(35:24):
specific thing where you know, it's programmed, it comes out
a specific time.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
They're like, there are.

Speaker 10 (35:30):
These promo things that you know that everyone's going to
be looking at, bleeding up to it, and the more
that that, you know, kind of gets tinkered with. I
do think that like and even like in the TV space,
so many TV writers being told like, oh, movies are
where it's at. But the little irony in that is
that you know, most movies kind of come out on

(35:51):
streaming anyway, so it's still kind of television, So I
don't know what anything is.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
And that's that was going to be the point that
I wanted to make.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
The lines are so blurred because when I was growing
up in the eighties and nineties, HBO is where you
watched movies. But now you get shows on HBO, but
also you have Netflix, and you have somebody like Ryan
Johnson who's making the Glass Onion movies, and those are
movies and they're directly for Netflix. These aren't theater movies
unless there's like a special New York, you know, premiere

(36:23):
kind of thing. So those lines have all been blurred
and every bit of it is is this a movie
for streaming? Is this a TV show for a movie platform?
Like we don't like every one of you have said
it doesn't know what it is right now, and so
it's time for And Matt says it the same way.
I think the theater thing is the communal experience and

(36:44):
for Star Wars to get to go see a Star
Wars movie with a bunch of other Star Wars nerves,
that's where it's at. We went and saw Phantom Menace
in New Jersey last summer for the you know, the
re released anniversary.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Pete said it many times. It is kind of one
of his ideas.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
We keep talking about put these three episode arcs of
andandor out in my local theater for ten dollars. Yeah,
I'll go pay ten dollars and buy some popcorn and
a coke and watch these on a big screen every week.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
And if there's other local nerds where I live, it
would be amazing. Yeah, like there's and.

Speaker 10 (37:14):
It's all digitals where you just know, yeah, where you
just know that like at the height of Game of Thrones,
you know that people.

Speaker 8 (37:21):
Would go to it.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
That's it. Yeah. Actually went I.

Speaker 10 (37:24):
Went to like a four year consideration event for like
Saturday Night Live, and a part of it, you know,
they had a they had a panel with actual people
you know who work for the show in New York.
But then they just live streamed the panel that was
happening simultaneously in LA and I was but they played
this like clip show, and then I had this thought
I was watching like I would kind of like if
I knew that, like at you know, the ALBUMO draft

(37:46):
House or or Nighthawk or something out here, that I
could at eleven thirty, I could theoretically watch Satura Night
Live live in a movie theater people, I think, but yeah,
I kind of would really.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
Get that in this season two of and Or if
they had done each three episode block at my local
movie theater and I had paid ten or fifteen dollars.
I would have gone every week and watched these three
episode arcs at the movie theater and happily paid that
money even if I was the only one there to
get it on a big screen, to get the audio
theater screen.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Far weirder things.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Are weirder things? Yeah, true, this is true. That's it.
We'll speaking of far weirder things. Why don't we take
a break and then when we come back, we're going
to take a look at the news of the week
and our fun little way of doing it, ripping off
with nothing but love around the horn. But we're going
to take a quick break and when we come back,
we'll be back with more atg live th and Tim Barnes.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Well, it's time to go around the galaxy again. Welcome
to the same this way, I've producer Chelousy clearly the
most powerful meetings in the galaxy. So this week's most
overhyped star wars from our website and forces of tannel.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Of orgallic life forms.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
To argue about it loudly for points that she gives
out however she wants.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
This makes no sensities at all.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
This week special guests will also join the chaos, pretending
that their opinions matter, while Kelsey quietly calculates who lives,
who dies, and who gets muted, and at the end,
the so called winner gets sixty seconds of uninterrupted airtime.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Because that's what the show needs. More talking.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So hold on to your motivator and embrace for in Bett.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
This is around the galaxy? Do I have to say it?

Speaker 11 (39:41):
Look?

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Do I really? Roger?

Speaker 8 (39:45):
Roger?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
We did it. We're back Kelsey.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
All right, all right, Well, I did a promise you
that I was gonna start you and the negatives just
you know, like, yeah, you gotta, you gotta, I know, I.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Know, but you did you watch that video though? That
was really cool last week?

Speaker 8 (40:11):
A great video. Yes, yes, all right, I'll start.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
A negative ten. I can fight back from now.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (40:16):
No, I reeled it back a little bit, like, I
don't know, it felt like I could be a little
bit nicer.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yeah. Well, and I think now that we're referring to
as the inquisitor, it only makes sense that you're a
little bit evil.

Speaker 8 (40:28):
Dark sited.

Speaker 7 (40:29):
It's all right fully, all right, so got our first story.
I guess I'll stick with you since you're already in
the negatives. Yeah, sure, yeah, firmed after four decades that
we'll be getting a Spaceball sequel. The beloved Star Wars
spoof has been set for release in twenty twenty seven.

(40:49):
Are you excited for this movie or is it too
little too late for you?

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Great question. I I'm really excited for it. I just
don't know if it's going to be as good as
I want it to be. I don't know if mel
brooks humor still works or is even allowed to still
work these days. But so I can't wait for it.
I loved Spaceballs. I was a huge fan of the
original Spaceballs movie, and I'm just excited as coming back.

(41:16):
And it's he's calling it the Schwartz Awakens, which of
course is the perfect name for it. And he did
his little promo today which was funny. Don't if any
of you saw it, So yeah, bring it on. As
Chris would say, gimme, gimme, gimme, but I guess mel
Brooks would say, gimme. Yeah. Impressions at all. No, it

(41:38):
was not a bad impression, Chris. Yeah, I probably lost impression.
That's all right. So yeah, that's where I stand. Give
it to me. I can't wait. I'm excited. I just
want the Brooks is still alive. I mean, Geez turns
ninety nine this.

Speaker 8 (41:50):
Month, so definitely up there.

Speaker 7 (41:53):
Speaking of Chris, I saw you warming up in the
intro video, so I'll throw this one to you.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
I mel Brooks is going to outlive us all this.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
He is he is like forever.

Speaker 6 (42:09):
And as a huge fan of all the Melbrooks movies,
I thought maybe he would have lost a step or
like his writing team with his influence. When A History
of the World Part two came out as a series,
I forgot which channel it was on and whatnot, but
I really liked it and I thought it had like

(42:30):
the same kind of spirits that the original one did,
you know, different different decades, but now of course it's
gonna be things that are different. But I'm very much
looking forward to uh, space Ball's The Schwartz Awakens very much.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
I can't wait.

Speaker 8 (42:49):
What about you, Tim, Are you excited?

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (42:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (42:52):
I really hope that Ben Schwartz is in it. And
seeing as how like I don't know, I knowing how
long the gap we've had for a Star Wars film,
I think that he's picked like the best time to
have this come out, and I don't know, I think
it would be the perfect sort of mel Brooks joke.

(43:16):
If this is his last movie, you know what I mean,
like yeah, and if somehow I mean I want I
do want him to live forever. He's a thousand year
old man or whatever. But if somehow the zeitgeist of
this film gets wrapped up into all all kinds of
other stuff, that is the best way to honor mel Brooks.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
So I'm excited for this film. I cannot wait.

Speaker 10 (43:38):
I hope that his performance as what's the name of
the his yogogurt yogurt.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
I hope that. I hope that yogurt is suddenly computer generated.

Speaker 5 (43:48):
And and he'll talk about it and.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
They will have baby yogurt. It just writes itself. Yo brew.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Thoughts.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
I definitely have thoughts. I also have loved Spaceballs for many,
many years. It is I just watched it a couple
of weeks ago. Actually it's on HBO Max or max
or whatever it's going to be called.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Here in another week or two when they change the
name again. It's there.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
You can watch it and it holds up. It's funny.
Now you mentioned at the top of this, I think
Pete said it. Mel Brooks is a fantastic talent. The comedy.
You can't make Blazing Saddles again, I love Blazing You
can't make Blazing Saddles.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
There's so much in there, you know.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
But also mel Brooks is smart and he spent a
lot of time and you see it when you see
those YouTube videos when he's hanging out, you know, with
younger comedians and people who are getting to be you know,
a part of you know, Josh Gadd's a part of
writing this. There's these other folks that are connected to
it that is good to kind of help shepherd his
style of comedy into what this movie is going to be.

(45:05):
I think that's really really exciting. I think I agree
also with Pete. You know, what are we going to get?
I don't want it to be the Coming to America
sequel because that was not as good as we wanted
it to be. In my opinion. That's a personal opinion. Sorry,
if you liked it, great, more power to you. And
my other thing is just mel Brooks is going to
be ninety nine at the end of this month. Let's
go ahead and shoot that man scenes as soon as

(45:25):
we can.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Please. Now, we're going to.

Speaker 10 (45:30):
Digitally scan his whole body, so he's preserved.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Yeah, we have to, you know, Walt Disney style, whatever
we need to do keep mel Brooks connected to all of.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
This, the irony of a Jewish guy getting the Walt
Disney Uh sort of sorry, was that go too far
on that one?

Speaker 8 (45:51):
I'll give you some points.

Speaker 10 (45:58):
Yeah, but there's so much Star Wars to poke fun
of since the original version of this movie, Like it
is pretty wild how much he can make fun of
the prequels, you can make fun of the sequels, you
can make fun of the TV shows. It's it's nuts.
So I cannot wait to see what they decide to.

Speaker 5 (46:15):
And I also loved that we you know, we sometimes forget,
but when you go back and you kind of do
a little deep dive, like George Lucas loved what mel
Brooks did with Spaceballs, and like, you know, there was
that kind of initial like is this going to be okay?
And George Lucas, for as weird as he is and
as silly as he is, like has a great sense
of humor, like the stuff that he loved with Robot Chicken,

(46:36):
and you know, like he got into it and he
dug it and like he was like, oh yeah, make
this joke, like, please go ahead and do it. So
there's also always that underlying like mel Brooks has been
given the past to be like, yeah, I have about it,
go for it.

Speaker 8 (46:49):
Yeah, okay, we'll say.

Speaker 7 (46:52):
When you said George Lucas has a great sense of humor,
the first thing that I thought of was the exqueeze
me meme. Or it's like George Lucas thinks this is hilarious,
it's terrible.

Speaker 8 (47:09):
All right, Well I'll stick with you.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Nick.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
So one of the most memorable moments in and Or
was with Keno Looy at the end of the prison escape.
Actor Andy Serkis addressed the fate of his character in
a recent interview and said it was best left ambiguous.
Do you agree with the actors sentiments or would you
rather like preferred to see him in season two.

Speaker 5 (47:29):
I do agree with what Andy Serkis said, and I
have to admit watching season one coming into season two.
In fact, at one point I think it was reported
before season two, Oh he's going to be in it,
you know. It was kind of that back and forth rumors,
nothing never necessarily confirmed. But I wholeheartedly agree with what
Tony Gilroy said, which is it takes some of the

(47:49):
magic out of that power.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
It takes the power.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
Out of that moment if he shows back up. Just recently,
in the last couple of weeks, I got my wife,
who is the non star warsiest person some that any
of us know, to White seasons one and two of Vandor,
and she really enjoyed it. And after that episode she
was like, he's going to be back. He's and like
at the end when we finished season two, she was like, Hey,
that guy didn't come back, so it worked.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Yeah, And she even kind of agreed.

Speaker 5 (48:14):
She was like, I'm kind of glad he didn't come back,
So I think it was the right decision. I wholeheartedly
support what they ultimately ended up doing with that.

Speaker 8 (48:23):
What do you think, Chris, He's dead?

Speaker 6 (48:31):
Instead, he's he's gonna go back, and like he's gonna,
you know, maybe maybe run shit for a little bit
as far as in the prison goes. But then there's
gonna be follow up. There's gonna be Imperial follow up
at some point. They're coming back. He's he's dead. He's
either dead in the water or dead in the hallway there.

(48:51):
He slipped into a pool.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
That was it. He can't swim.

Speaker 8 (48:55):
Fair enough, Tim, what do you think he's No, they.

Speaker 10 (49:04):
Clearly see how much a refective leader he is. And
then they put him in a jar and they tournament.
You know, they pickle him for a bit, and.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
A T shirt, a T shirt with some version of
Andy serkis in a jar that says they pickle him
has to happen, and he's just like, yeah, exactly, in
a jar, they pickle him.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
That's a pickled Snow.

Speaker 8 (49:36):
You have a better theory than this, with.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Either one of those theories. And I hate to do
it because I want to be controversial, but I totally agree.
I think if he came back it would have completely
killed that moment because that was such a man, that
was such a It was a heartbreak and after all
they did and they got to that very last step.
And I do agree with Chris. The problem is he

(50:02):
shouldn't come back because it's not because I don't want
to see that he survived when he jumped out and
he's doing something in the rebellion now, and now he
he either died trying to swim or died trying to
hide after he couldn't swim and the Empire came in.
And Empire probably came in and blew that place up,
actually is probably what happened, and then they built because

(50:22):
I think isn't Dedrah. Didn't they say she's on Narcina
four or something like that. I think I read that somewhere,
so she's in a different Narkina prison. So they probably
blew it up and said screw that, will start again.
Although we could have seen remember those two giant puppeny
looking muppet guys that they that mel she It would
have been fun to see him living in a cave
with those guys and just like it becomes a buddy

(50:45):
show on they just trying to find watch it, but no,
Qino's dead and sorry it's over.

Speaker 7 (50:55):
Clearly very upset about it. Got you out of the
negatives at least, all right. So A rare collection of
lucasfilm memorabilia is hitting the auction block in July, including
an X Wing miniature flown by Luke, screen used snow

(51:16):
speeder owned by Kerrie Fisher, and an Indiana Jones bullwhip
gifted to gifted by Harrison Ford to the Royal family.
If you guys had unlimited funds for this auction. Which
item are you bidding on?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
And why?

Speaker 8 (51:29):
Chris?

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Yes, wrap them up.

Speaker 6 (51:38):
The cars that way, so would have been Yeah, give
me all that stuff and I will I will ship
the whip to Nick because I know that's his guy. Yeah, yeah,
that's awesome. If I if I had to pick one,
give me the X Wing for sure. If Vader's lightsaber
was not there.

Speaker 8 (51:59):
Fair enough?

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Good one?

Speaker 8 (52:01):
What do you think, Nick?

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Well? And what I'm sure is going to be a
very controversial. Yeah, we've got it right here.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
Nineteen eighty nine, Last Crusade Pepsicola promotion with Indiana Jones,
Stats and Fedora.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
I mean it's Indiana Jones and I can take any
of this. I love. You know.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
Every year, every other year, prop Store does that huge
auction where they put out the calendar and it's you know,
all the different things. It's from Blade Runner, it's from
Star Wars, it's from India, it's from Predator, everything that
we have all watched over all these years. Being at
Star Wars celebration in Orlando when we were in Anaheim,
to see those booths and they bring all that stuff

(52:43):
out like this is truly, I mean, this is movie history.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Every bit of it is a win. I can't afford
a single bit of it.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
But I have the softest of soft spots for Indiana
Jones and for Star Wars, So like Chris, I can't
go wrong with any of it. Loaded all up into
my car. It's the meme with the guy with the card.
You know, take my money now, whatever it is. But
I'm a dedicated indie guy, so that's what I need.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
They're saying that whip's gonna go for between two fifty
and five.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
Five hundred thousand dollars. It's incredible, Dago. It is the
hero whip with the belt, with the holder. It's just insane.

Speaker 8 (53:24):
What about you, Tim?

Speaker 10 (53:26):
I mean, so let me get this straight. This whip
was gifted to the royal family. Does that mean that
the royal family is selling this?

Speaker 8 (53:34):
So apparently it was gifted to Princess.

Speaker 11 (53:38):
Diana hard time, so much money I am.

Speaker 4 (53:51):
I wanted to take all whips away from the royal family.

Speaker 13 (54:05):
Oh no, oh, there's always at least one great clip
from Tim Barnes.

Speaker 8 (54:22):
I want to follow that.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
I don't want to follow it, but because I had
like a real answer, but right, no, I was going
to actually take the snow Speedar that carry Fisher owned,
because carry Fisher owned it, and it's a snow speeder.
And when Empire came out like, that was my favorite
cool ship, and uh so I would I would go

(54:45):
with that or the X Wing. But Chris, I'm gonna
let Chris outmad me on the X Wing. So as
you guys, let me get that snow speeder. I think
we'll be in good shape. Trade. Yeah, yeah, we get
like it's six months to year. Six months there, I'm
backing forward, love it, all right, We're good figures, all right,
moving up, so you will try.

Speaker 8 (55:15):
Fighting my way through it, all right? All right?

Speaker 7 (55:21):
So Mia Goth has joined the upcoming Sean Levy Project
Starfighter as one of the primary villains, known primarily for
her roles in A twenty four movies such as Pearl
and X. What do you think of the actress joining
the cast of a Star Wars film, Tim.

Speaker 10 (55:38):
I mean this with no malice, but I have no
I even look me a Goth up and I don't
think I don't know who this is, So I have
no I think she'll pop up and she'll be an
interesting character. I hope to learn more about who she is.
But is there a reason that I would have like

(55:59):
any other.

Speaker 7 (55:59):
Eni in about I mean, I mean just for like
a little bit of context those twenty four movies. Uh,
I think she plays like a poor an actress. So
it's interesting. Yeah, interesting casting.

Speaker 10 (56:15):
Well, I think I'm the type of person that they're
hoping is like, oh, an actress is in this movie.
I'm willing to bet a large portion of Star Wars fans.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Will well large like I mean.

Speaker 10 (56:27):
They're mostly kids, right, so we'll be like, oh, a
person in this movie.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
But now I have to check out these.

Speaker 14 (56:35):
Films from which to this, all right, So it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
And I also liked him.

Speaker 5 (56:54):
Had to go look up who Mia Goth was, had
no familiar cool name. I'm like, okay, start there, let's
see what we got. Also, when I read the news story,
I know, apparently the other person who was potentially you know,
in this position to be in this role was Mikey
Madison also played a sex worker in the movie Honora,
which was you know, a big part of the Oscars,

(57:14):
you know, this last year. So it is a little
bit kind of to what you're alluding to, Kelsey, is
you know a little bit outside the lane of Disney
like or Star Wars like picking somebody who's played some
other roles, but that doesn't mean anything because this is acting,
and actors can do a lot of different things.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
They can cover a lot of different ground.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
So to me it feels very Star Wars because Star Wars,
certainly in the earlier years, but even going forward was
built on casting unknowns. You know, if this is going
to be in the Ryan Goisling movie, then okay, Ryan
Goisling's the one, you know, and then we put in
a bunch of other people.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
You get a Daisy Ridley, you get a.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
John Boyega who had done a little bit of stuff,
you know, attacked the block whatever. But these are people
who are getting opportunities to kind of receive or reach
a wider audience.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
So let's go.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
I'm excited to see what it is because I have
no frame of reference.

Speaker 8 (58:07):
Really, yeah, what about you, Pete?

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Well, you know, it is interesting because I think Kho's Stark,
who played Cammy from Camy and Fixer, who were cut
from the Star Wars original kind. I think she had
some some sort of a questionable film background, so I
think it's interesting. I think she's I think she's got
a cool look to her. Mia Gath has a really
cool look to her. I think she can kind of

(58:32):
fit into that Star Wars world. I have not seen
these other A twenty four movies, but as a Star
Wars fan, it's it's probably critical that I checked them out.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
She does have a Star Wars name. The more that
we say it too.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Yeah, yeah she does. Right, they don't have to even
change her name, but she does. She does, and she's
gonna be playing a villain and she's kind of got
a cool look. But I she could be an alien
because I think she's you know, I can almost see
her as a tweetlec, like an evil tweeleg. So yeah,
I think it's cool, and I think it's great that
they're going with actors that well. It's interesting because it's

(59:06):
the Ryan Gosling movie, right, so he's already the big name,
and Mia Goth is well, not a big name, it's
it's a it's a recognizable name to a certain group
of film fans. I mean, the A twenty four film
following is huge. So yeah, it's an interesting choice, but yeah,
I'm all for it. Let's let's see what they can

(59:26):
do with her, for.

Speaker 8 (59:27):
Sure, Chris, do you have any thoughts?

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Yeah, you know, I I I've watched a few a
twenty four films.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
So when miaghav was was was announce of Star Wars,
I said, who, I didn't see any of the movies
that she was in.

Speaker 12 (59:46):
So.

Speaker 15 (59:49):
Sure sure yeah yeah yeah cool. Well you know played
a villain, all right, cool? Yeah yeah, well she's got
no eyebrows whatever. Cool, Okay, just do the job whatever your.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Job is, to do the job. And and and you got.

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
Me all right. I think I think Chris just one
with that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:00:17):
I feel like I got got the most laughs from
Chris to I. So the floor is yours.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
I can I can say anything I want one not everything.
The only thing I will say is it's about it
post No, that was that was the joke. You see

(01:00:50):
he was he was putting the Broxiom commercial. You see,
yeah I did that.

Speaker 8 (01:00:58):
I forgot that. You also press but.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Yes, so there you go. I mean that's your sixty seconds. Okay,
good we we uh yeah. Well so seriously, though, I'm
not even kidding, buy some ship from Chris. That's your
thing at Oh no, I've had no but seriously, you
can buy the stuff anyway, Chris, if you sold legos,

(01:01:27):
I'd be buying them from you. That's the I'm not
about to touch that. That's so yeah, you don't need
I mean, I'm sure the licensing and they probably make
stock all kinds of stuff and yeah, yeah yeah, there'd
be like an eight billion dollar minimum for orders. Yeah yeah.
Like I looked into starting a guitar store and then
I found out that Fender required you to keep one
hundred thousand dollars worth of guitars at the store.

Speaker 12 (01:01:48):
And I'm like, uh no, I'm looking damn So so anyway, yeah,
buy your stuff from bro Axiom And uh, Tim, thank
you so much joining us.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Time, man, Thank you for having me.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
This is so much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
It's it's you. You're always welcome to come and hang
out with us whenever.

Speaker 13 (01:02:07):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
If you have not was taking them too long to
do the next episode, you're like, I got Star Wars
stuff to say, Pete.

Speaker 10 (01:02:14):
But we did just in honor of the and Or
season two release schedule, we released three episodes at once,
covering all of and two very good, so you can
you can engage with that whoever you liked the same
way you did with and Or.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Season two. You don't have to listen to it all at.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Once, right, listen, listen to three episodes, talk about it
with your friends, come back to what was your big
takeaway though?

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
From handa, I loved it. I loved it.

Speaker 10 (01:02:40):
I even started watching a little bit of Rogue one afterwards,
and it is a little jarring, uh seeing how the
age the aging issue, but that it was it was
absolutely fantastic. Like I I'm trying to figure out how
I will go about rewatching and I don't know when

(01:03:01):
it will happen or you know, you know what I mean,
because there's so many things, but I know that I
want to, like I want to watch this on a
semi regular, like a yearly kind of basis.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Yeah, yeah, you know. I think my favorite part of
and or being out and about is all the the
uh Diego Luna interviews because I've decided that he has
the best voice and watching his interviews and the way
he speaks his accent is so awesome. Yes, I saw

(01:03:33):
I saw alent Tunic do a little impression of him
and it was freaking hilarious. So and as we went
over earlier and showed to impressions, Well, so I'm not
going to try it. But yeah, give me more diego
talking about anything. So uh, I think that's good. Well, no,
tell people where we can find you. Tell us that
the addresses and the what notts where we can keep

(01:03:53):
up with Tim Barnes.

Speaker 10 (01:03:54):
Oh yeah, you can find everything at Tim Barnes Coomedy
dot com. I got everything links to all my stuff there. Yes,
you know that old George Carlin Joe a place for
my stuff.

so Deck, who do we have next week on the show?

Speaker 5 (01:04:19):
So I'm really excited for next week we have and
if I place this image there we go. We have
a band coming on next week. And you and I
are musicians, Pete. This is a band called the Three
Pos and you can go look them up on Facebook,
on band camp, wherever you look at music.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
They write parody Star Wars songs.

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
They send us some music ahead of time that we're
going to try and promo. But they are legit parodies
of Stacy's mom.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
I forget what the other two are. Oh Whip It
by Devo but it's wicked, you know. There's Stacy's mom
is Obi Wan like these are.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
They're really fun songs, but we couldn't play them tonight
because we're afraid we'd get dinged by you for the music.
They also have some original music you can find on
band camp. So we're excited to hang out with the
members of the Three Pos next Thursday night and talk
about music and their love of Star Wars, which is
something that we both have and I know that the
rest of us all love music as well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Absolutely well, great, well, thank you everybody for joining us
tonight on this Thursday night. We'll see you again next Thursday.
Where we will you know, we'll play our news game again.
We'll say things that are inappropriate. We'll probably border on
getting canceled every week as we do. It's gonna happen.
It's just gonna happen. I don't know how we're gonna

(01:05:38):
avoid it. But make sure to go check out Yub
