FEBRUARY IS THE LONGEST MONTH

Hi there-

Our apologies for being so silent this month. Due to a death in Dan's family, some health issues for Jason, and with Tim still "off on assignment" we have been slow in posting.  Sadly. there will be no new show this week. We hope to be up and running again soon. In fact, look for Episode 2 of The Expanded Comicverse on March 1st!  Matt and Chris from Star Wars In Character will be joining Tim and Allen to discuss Star Wars #2 AND Darth Vader #'s 1 & 2!

So, look for that soon!Thanks for your patience and MTFBWY!

EPISODE 024 - Cory & Carrie Shield, and their STAR WARS wedding

Star Wars themed Wedding pictures of Cory & Carrie Shields recently became a viral sensation. Not only are the couple madly in love with each other, but also with that Galaxy Far Far Away. We talk about all things from Carrie's love for Boba Fett to Cory's great Star Wars impressions. We also have a fun and memorable trench run gametime with our guests. Jason and Dan go on a Star Wars rant, read some news and have a new Etsy item of the week. All this and a catchy Ewok song if you listen to the end!

EPISODE 023 - Mr. Black, from Team Negative 1

After interviewing Harmy and Adwan, Jason was contacted by the mysterious Mr. Black from the secret group Team Negative 1. These guys have hunted down and obtained their own 35mm theatrical prints of the Star Wars films for use in the fan film and film restoration community. We discuss the preservation of the original films and their latest release The Empire Strikes Back - Renegade Grindhouse. Dan and Jason go on a couple of Star Wars rants, Jason tries to giveaway more toys, and we hint at future guests. Plus, one of the oddest Etsy items of the week!

EPISODE 021 - Joel Loukus, from Apsis Motion Pictures

Jason and I get a little long winded this week, but that's ok, it's our last episode of 2014, so we've earned it!

Our guest this week is Joel Loukus from Apsis Motion Pictures.  Joel is the director of one of my favorite fan films of the year, Black Sands.  This short film is only 3:50 long, but it is original, well crafted, and obviously had a lot of thought put into it.  Please, give it a view before you listen to our conversation with Joel.

This week Jason and I also take a moment to reflect on Christmas's of Star Wars past, we give a shout out to one of our former guests, we cover the news and give you one last reminder about Jason's Jawa Giveaway!

EPISODE 020 - David Bledsoe, from Collectors Care

With the holiday season upon us, we’re doing something just a little bit different this week.  Our guest is David Bledsoe, a Star Wars fan who has started Collectors Care, a non-profit organization that collects toys for sick and disadvantages kids all year long, not just at this time of year.  Collectors Care doesn’t just collect Star Wars toys, but ya know what, since it is the season for giving, we thought we would break form for one week.  It is all for a great cause, so we felt that it was worth it!

Jason went to Denver, Colorado this week to speak with David in person.  They discuss the strong connection that Star Wars fans have with their toys, just how special such toys are to children, and how you can help get a new toy into the hands of a needy child.  They discuss the work Collectors Care does with the fan community, their appearances at conventions and the help that Collectors Care has received from some of your favorite celebrities.

This week we also answer a letter from a listener who had so much to say about the prequels, that we invited him on the show!  We briefly talk with film critic Joshua Starnes, and then talk to him even more on an episode of Scum & Villainy: The Expanded Fandomverse Aftershow.  What he has to say about the Prequels may make you rethink some of the accepted “truths” you hold about these films.

PLEASE NOTE- The Full Scum & Villainy Episode Will Be Posted Tomorrow, December 18th.

And as always, we discuss the news of the week (Character names! Poster rumors! Frank Oz returns!), and update you on the latest round of Jason’s Jawa Giveaway! (Utini!)  We’ve had some great Star Wars impressions sent to us, but we’re going to open up the contest a little further.  To enter, you can call us with our best (or worst) Star Wars impression, OR, you can post your favorite line from Star Wars below!  That simple!  Go ahead and do that and you will get your name in the running for our latest giveaway!
