Happy Fourth of July, Scoundrels! Dennis and Taxus hope your summer is going well. Their summer is going very well, and thanks for asking. In fact, they just got back from their summer vacations.

Home Alone

Well Scoundrels, it's been a tough few days, hasn't it? We've been stuck at home watching a near-endless deluge of fun and frivolity stream from Star Wars Celebration Orlando. But it hasn't been all bad, has it? I mean I accidentally got an extra chicken strip from Raising Cane's, so that was good. And I finally tried a chimichanga from a local gas-station. That started out good but, well, I digest, er, digress.

A Clip Show, Whaaaa?!?!?

We are the only Star Wars Podcast with the courage to not only risk insane content throughout the year, but to also combine them all into one great big risk pool of failed bits just to keep you at home entertained, and those who are desperately seeking a way to keep the high from Star Wars Celebration going on their way home.

But Wait There's More!

But misery loves company, so along the way we have special guests from the RetroZap family or past guests who also couldn't make it to Star Wars Celebration drop by to say hi. Look out for some all-to-familiar Easter Eggs! Well, not really. I just wanted to use that term since this show releases on Easter. We also have a VERY special SILENCE FOOLS message from a good-strong Scoundrel. Based on his predictions, you'll only have two or three more clip shows to worry about in the future.

No Thanks, I'll Pass.

Aw, come on.

OK, I'll listen.

Good. Now, pay attention to the road before you make this show entered into evidence in a trial!

 - Darth Taxus

PS, Thanks to James Volpe (also for the great show image), Jay Krebs (who still had a great week at the beach, so I don't feel too sorry for her), Michael Nipp (yo might have seen him at Celebration, but it was all a lie), Kate Dubinko (who is currently indisposed after appearing), Michael O'Connor (we really bonded... James Bonded), Bill Drewnowski (give a guy a little power and see what happens), Tim McMahon (the flashing podcaster, because he's fast), Courtney Martin (ay caramba), Mike Harris (read the fine print with him), Joey Letson (note: do better background checks on guests), AND Stephen Kent (for our Lifetime Original segment) for all appearing. We couldn't have done it without you!

 

Apr 16, 2017

Hey Scoundrels! Sorry this is late today, I'm nutso busy! In fact, I have no idea what Dennis did before I threw it together and published! YOLO, am I right? So lets all take a listen and be shocked or pleased.

 - Darth Taxus

Apr 14, 2017

Dennis continued to have a blast on the opening day of Star Wars Celebration Orlando. He sounds a little tired after the RetroZap party! Maybe he had a few too many Blue Russians, eh comrade? Listen in and revel in his glory!
