Podcasts about Han Solo

This week on Shat The Movies, Gene and Big D close out the original Star Wars trilogy with a deep dive into Return of the Jedi (1983). Fueled by nostalgia, Minute Maid and vodka cocktails, and the crushing realization that not all endings stick the landing, the hosts explore the Ewok invasion, Jabba's deadly circus act, Boba Fett's humiliating demise, and the absurdity of Imperial helmet design. From Luke's questionable Force skills to the Empire's laughable "elite troops," nothing escapes the Shat boys' critical eye. Along the way, they celebrate Carrie Fisher's iconic (if problematic) gold bikini moment, mourn for Ewoks lost in battle, and dream up a darker, deadlier version of Endor warfare. Was this the fitting finale Star Wars deserved—or an early warning of Lucas' merchandising empire run amok? Tune in to find out! Plot SummaryA year after Han Solo's capture, Luke Skywalker launches a risky mission to free his friend from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt. After a daring escape involving Sarlacc pits, lightsabers and a lot of questionable strategy, the Rebel Alliance turns its attention to the Empire's new and even deadlier Death Star. Luke confronts Darth Vader once more, hoping to save his father from the Emperor's grip, while Han, Leia, and a band of unlikely Ewok allies attempt to destroy the shield generator on Endor. The fate of the galaxy hinges on battles fought in the forest and the throne room—where redemption, betrayal, and tiny bear-like warriors collide.

When Marvel let their license to produce Star Wars comics lapse in 1986, Return of the Jedi was three years in the rear-view mirror and it seemed possible there would never be any further installments in the franchise. But Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's 1991 miniseries Dark Empire would begin Dark Horse Comics' 23-year run of Star Wars comics and help launch the Expanded Universe. Set six years after the Battle of Endor, Dark Empire sees Luke Skywalker tempted to the Dark Side by the newly revived Emperor, Han Solo and Leia Organa fleeing bounty hunters, and a new Imperial doomsday weapon threatening the galaxy. We'll look at the long and rocky development of the series, how involved (or not) Lucasfilm was in the story, and how it compares to its prose sister project, Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. This is the only podcast where you can hear two grown men arguing (politely) about Star Wars!Support the podcast at patreon.com/ironageofcomics

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its fourth year. All the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "Han Solo in Carbonite Mouth." Frank reviews two different horror movies, the 2014 Unfriended and 1988 horror-comedy Brain Damage, directed by Frank Henenlotter.

Han and Chewie try to make their fortunes in the Corporate Sector. But when people start to go missing, the smugglers embark on a dangerous mission to find them.

Today we were delighted to welcome Michael Kao, Private Investor at Kao Family Office and CEO & Portfolio Manager of Akanthos Capital Management. Michael founded Akanthos in 2002 and transitioned to focus on his family office in 2019. Michael is also the author of "Kaoboy Musings” on Substack (linked here). Previously, he was a Portfolio Manager at Canyon Capital Advisors, where he co-founded the Canyon Arbitrage Fund. Michael started his career in the commodities unit at J.Aron/Goldman Sachs and has over 30 years of experience across commodities, credit, convertible arbitrage, and distressed investing. As we approach what President Trump has coined “Liberation Day” on April 2nd, we were eager to find someone who could help us all better understand the rationale behind these developments and their implications. In recent Substack posts, Michael has shared some of his interesting theories and makes a case that what appears chaotic and unpredictable might actually be part of an audacious but coordinated plan. We were thrilled to hear Michael's latest insights on market volatility, energy dynamics, the evolving investment landscape, and why April 2nd might just be another stop on the way to (hopefully) something better. In our conversation, we first ask Michael for his view on the complexities surrounding the Trump Administration's actions and how to interpret the end goals of their policies. He shares an analogy comparing the current U.S. economic environment to navigating an asteroid field (like Han Solo's decision to fly the Millennium Falcon directly into an asteroid field when being chased by the Empire in Star Wars), highlighting several key economic challenges to manage including the current 7% non-wartime deficit, short-term debt reliance, geopolitical tensions, and the need for broader economic recalibration. We explore various ways to manage the U.S. debt including the possibility of terming out debt and reshoring manufacturing, the impact of oil prices on the broader economy, the weakening U.S. dollar, and how the Trump Administration's shift from a “carrot” to “stick” approach in policy negotiations may affect market dynamics. We discuss potential scenarios for a U.S. recession or economic slowdown, the growth of the private equity market, the increasing role of private credit in financing private equity-backed companies, and the role of the Federal Reserve in the broader economic picture. Michael provides insights on how sovereign wealth funds could help manage the U.S. national balance sheet by leveraging geographic assets, his experience in transitioning to managing his family office and focusing more on uncorrelated private investments, the potential for a black swan event, the risk of ongoing geopolitical tensions escalating, the importance of thinking outside the box, and much more. We greatly appreciate Michael joining and sharing his expertise and insights with us all. As you'll hear, we discuss some of Michael's recent posts. His piece entitled “Mental Models – Navigating The Asteroid Field With Trump 2.0” is linked here and the Kaos Theory podcast episode featuring Michael Every is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that markets are in a “Calm Before the Storm” mode with investors awaiting the impact of Trump's April 2nd reciprocal tariffs. Rather than focusing on how markets might react post-reciprocal tariffs, Mike reviewed how markets performed in Q1'25 with the “Trumpatility” overhang. In bonds, the 10yr fell in Q1 by ~35bps to ~4.20%. WTI price ($71.50/bbl) ended Q1 relatively unchanged, which was a big surprise given the bearish oil sentiment that had built throu

🚀 ¡Bienvenidos a una nueva entrega de Frikingos de la Galaxia! 🚀 Ha llegado el momento de ejecutar la Orden 66 sobre la trilogía de secuelas de Star Wars, y hoy empezamos con El Despertar de la Fuerza… o como nos gusta llamarla: Una Nueva Esperanza Reloaded. Porque sí, amigos, si el reciclaje cinematográfico fuera un arte Jedi, Disney ya tendría su propio templo en Coruscant. Así que abróchense los cinturones de sus X-Wings, porque vamos a destripar esta película sin piedad, con más precisión que un disparo de Han Solo (cuando no está en la mira de Kylo Ren). ¿Fue un digno regreso a la galaxia muy, muy lejana, o solo una Estrella de la Muerte de cartón piedra? ¿Es Kylo Ren un villano aterrador o el emo con más problemas paternales desde Hamlet? Y lo más importante… ¿cómo demonios aprendió Rey a ser Jedi más rápida que un tutorial de YouTube? El capitán de la Friking Express no viene solo en esta misión, sino que trae consigo a una tripulación más legendaria que la del Halcón Milenario (aunque con menos problemas de deuda con el hampa galáctica). Prepárense para recibir a: Julwolverine, nuestro mutante nerd que, cuando no está esquivando intentos de secuestro por parte de los jawas que quieren su adamantium, se deja caer por la Friking para repartir más chistes afilados que un sable láser rojo. Joseja, el Béquer Millennial del Frikiverso, que, como buen poeta de otra galaxia, sigue componiendo odas a los pedazos quemados de Anakin en La Venganza de los Sith, y nos explicó el porqué (si es que tiene explicación) Luke dejó su ubicación dentro de un robot... cuando supuestamente nadie debía encontrarlo. Dani, el jugón de la Friking Express, que se ha vuelto a enfrentar a El Despertar de la Fuerza después de diez años y ha salido con más dudas que un stormtrooper en una prueba de puntería. ¿Se siente traicionado por la nostalgia o encontró la Fuerza en esta revisión? Lo descubriremos en breve. Prepárense para un análisis donde la nostalgia se encuentra con el copy-paste galáctico, donde el auténtico despertar se produjo en la ira de los fans al sentirse más estafados que los clientes de Watto, y donde una cosa es segura: si Disney quería repetir la fórmula del éxito, al menos podrían haber cambiado el sabor. Así que agarren sus blásters, sírvanse un vaso de leche azul y acompáñennos en este viaje por Star Wars VII: La Nueva Esperanza… de que no nos demos cuenta.

*Cue the John Williams music, let's do this one last time as we come to the end of Star Wars season! It's been a wonderful few weeks but it's time to ask the toughest question of all... Has Disney damaged something that was once the most beautifully pure creative IP and taken the heart out of it. With this in mind we try to cut to the heart of what the Star Wars films are all about? What is the light side and is it really that different from the dark side - or are there just shades of grey. We have a good old rummage around the character of Han Solo and look at how Harrison Ford has become such an enormous part of cinema culture.To finish up we take a look at some of the greatest trilogies of all time to see where Star Wars Ranks.Chapters and timestamps for those that want them:01:43 How Star Wars edged us02:00 What is this Film Best known for?05:27 What are the biggest Contentions in Star Wars Return of the Jedi16:51 How does childhood play a role in the way we remember Star Wars18:00 Was the Death Star a bit meh20:00 Han Solo's Character Arc24:28The Nature of Good and Evil31:00 Identity and Legacy in Star Wars33:00 Is Harrison Ford the big winner of the Star Wars Trilogy38:00 The Impact of Star Wars on Cinema44:00 How Star Wars fell off..51:00 The Impact of Directorial Changes58:00 The Mandalorian and the Return of Legacy Characters1:01:00Diversity in Storytelling vs. Compelling Narratives1:02:00 Comparing Star Wars to Other Iconic Trilogies Hosted on Acast.

“I've got a bad feeling about this.”Han Solo (wait…wrong franchise!)Ever just get one of those feelings? A faint chill, a little crawling of the skin that tells you that maybe the path you're currently on is the wrong one and that something terrible is about to happen. You've heard the saying “like someone just walked over my grave,” right? Well, some Hollywood genius decided to build an entire film franchise around this concept with Final Destination and the franchise is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary and gearing up to release its sixth film (Final Destination Bloodlines) later this year!That first Final Destination movie is packed with memorable moments. And gruesome as some of them are, most of the deaths in Final Destination are things we've all lost sleep over, whether it's a mid-air disaster, a bus accident, and others. But unlike other horror movies, it isn't about the deaths so much as it is about Death…the very personification of Death, who isn't amused when someone sees what's coming and escapes their fate. And while you probably don't have to worry too much about Death itself taking revenge on you, the concept of precognition, the ability to see or sense events before they happen, isn't as far-fetched as you might think. We have a scientist to dig into that, and a pop culture expert to make sure that Death's plans all vibe on screen. What have our hosts foreseen? Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? to find out!https://youtu.be/fOHjYRr4S_ISUGGESTED VIEWING There are five (currently released) Final Destination movies, but we focused our discussion this episode on the first film, 2000's Final Destination from director James Wong who also had a hand in the screenplay with Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Clairvoyance and PrecognitionJust like Hakeem says about his own experiences, scientific study of these phenomena isn't getting laughed out of the room in academia these days. Will that continue? Well, we've got a feeling…Cognition + Time = ?To be fair, Hakeem didn't present this exactly as an equation, but these are the two key components of precognition. Key to this is “the relativity of simultaneity” which has weirdly come up in other episodes, but is particularly relevant here. See also: The Andromeda ParadoxQuantum EntanglementWe're not entirely sure we follow Hakeem here, but it seems to involve both you and your future self. Which isn't strictly the definition of quantum entanglement, but it's still pretty awesome!The True Story of Final Destination Well…sorta! But as Tamara pointed out, one of the writers did indeed have this movie percolating for a while because of an allegedly real event. Imagine how different things would have been had this movie only ended up as an episode of The X-Files. It could have happened!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?We try not to do TOO many horror movie episodes, lest we incur Tamara's wrath, but check out our episodes on Smile (for some more weird modern horror) and The Wolf Man (for some classic monster action)!FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Are you ever going to text me?This episode is MUCH kinder to Chewbacca than Han Solo ever was.Jason, Jim and Joseph have an enlightened discussion about the best modern black-and-white movies made in the past fifty years.Live on the podcast, Jason discovers he is color blind!!!A young Cousin Eddie looks more inbred in black and white.Joseph makes a pitch to P--- Hub for sponsorship.The Big Knockers come through better in black and white.Just as wrong as seeing Herman Munster in color.Jason accuses Joseph of being an anti-Dentite.Jim likes to keep his hands warm.George "The Animal" Steele.Jim makes an unsolicited plea to reconsider the value of the 1979 "Makin' It" sitcom.

Episode 564In 1958, Billy Meier predicted the Iraq Wars, AIDS and global warming. Is it the biggest hoax or… the most important story in human history? You'll find the startling answer in this remarkable, true-life story about how a young Swiss boy's meetings with extraterrestrials would eventually lead him later in life through dozens of countries, meeting many famous world leaders – including Saddam Hussein – in order to fulfill ancient prophecies.This one-armed farmer from Switzerland has taken hundreds of the most startling photos in UFO History and has even filmed what he refers to as “Beam Ships” used by sentient beings that hail from a star system near the Pleiades. He has been able to produce photographs, film footage, sound recordings and even metal samples as evidence of his visitations.You'll be captivated by how in his twenties, “Billy” Eduard Albert Meier was transformed into “The Phantom” (a real life combination of Indiana Jones, Lawrence of Arabia and Han Solo) and by packing a .44 Magnum was able to apprehend serial killers and mass murderers. Meier's life story is an enigmatic journey that ultimately culminates with him becoming the messenger for an advanced race of beings known as the Plejaran.Their message is clear: earth is in trouble, the people have been asleep, and we must make drastic changes or there will be devastating consequences for all of mankind. Is this story real or too incredible for us to grasp? You must decide for yourself, but if it's a hoax, why has Meier been the target of 21 assassination attempts? Could it be that the message that humanity so desperately needs to hear is not welcome by many of our world leaders?Samuel Chong also joined in Certified court interpreter and ⁠Chinese translator⁠, Samuel Chong visited Michel Desmarquet, the author of ⁠Thiaoouba Prophecy⁠, in 2016 and 2018, and he was instrumental in arranging for the Chinese publication of Desmarquet's book, which has been a best-seller in both China and Taiwan, a rare phenomenon. He also translated the book "⁠334 ‰ Lies: The Revelation of H. M. v. Stuhl⁠", an autobiography of the High Master of the Chair of a secret society that was started in Germany.

This story shows us Boba Fett at several different points in his life: it sees him as a young man before his exile, chasing Han Solo during The Empire Strikes Back, his time at Jabba's Palace during Return of the Jedi, and a much older bounty hunter chasing Kardue'Sai'Malloc and then an older Han Solo.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank take on The Empire Strikes Back, widely considered the greatest Star Wars film ever made. They discuss the film's lasting impact, John Williams' legendary score, and the way it expanded the lore of the Force. They also break down iconic moments, including the Hoth battle, Han and Leia's relationship, and that legendary twist. Plus, they explore the film's bold choice of ending on a downbeat note, setting the stage for Return of the Jedi. Join the conversation as they geek out over one of cinema's most defining sequels! Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to The Empire Strikes Back discussion 00:27 Childhood memories of watching Star Wars 01:36 Why Empire still holds up today 02:06 The Battle of Hoth – one of the greatest sci-fi battles 03:22 Luke's journey to Dagobah and training with Yoda 03:43 Han, Leia, and the Millennium Falcon escape into an asteroid field 04:22 The introduction of Lando Calrissian 04:47 Boba Fett's first major appearance 05:21 Han Solo's fate – the carbonite freezing scene 06:10 The epic duel: Luke vs. Vader 06:37 I am your father – The biggest twist in Star Wars history 07:20 The dark and uncertain ending of the film 08:10 Why Empire is considered the best Star Wars film 09:38 Fun facts and behind-the-scenes trivia 10:50 Next week's challenge: Christopher Reeve's Superman Key Takeaways: The Empire Strikes Back took a bold narrative risk by allowing the villains to win, setting up an emotional and engaging third act in Return of the Jedi. The film introduced deeper concepts of the Force, expanding the mythology of the Star Wars universe. John Williams' score played a crucial role in the film's storytelling, with the introduction of The Imperial March becoming an iconic piece of music. Luke's training on Dagobah emphasized the spiritual and philosophical aspects of the Force, making Yoda one of the franchise's most beloved characters. Han and Leia's dynamic flourished in this film, leading to one of cinema's most legendary love lines: Leia: "I love you." Han: "I know." The duel between Luke and Vader is one of the most emotionally charged and well-executed fight scenes in film history. The film's ending left audiences stunned, proving that not all sequels need a happy ending to be effective. Memorable Quotes: “Darth Vader standing in that pastel Cloud City room is like a black hole pulling in all the light—it's just cold as hell.” – Frank “Luke's reaction to the ‘I am your father' reveal is so raw—it's not cool, it's real, and that's why it works.” – Thomas “We saw Yoda as this tiny, odd creature, but his wisdom and philosophy on the Force changed how we saw Jedi forever.” – Frank “The Empire winning in this movie was unheard of—it left audiences stunned and eager for more.” – Thomas Call to Action: Love The Empire Strikes Back?

In what ways was Harrison Ford the perfect actor for this role Which one of us REALLY hated the 3rd act Which actor was REALLY hated by one of us in this film Was this movie ahead of its time, or does it feel dated in 2024?

What makes one mug superior to another? Is there a proper way to organize your cups? Does a glass mug actually make milk taste better? Todd and Eric dive deep into mug hierarchy, covering the absurd, the practical, and the completely unnecessary rules of cup selection. Cabinet Politics: Todd and Eric analyze how mugs are stored, used, and why some cups are forever banished to the back. The Hunter Conundrum: Special guest Hunter Hersey defends his chaotic cup choices, much to Eric's frustration. The Great Butterbeer Debate: Can a cup be “too special” to drink from? Hunter seems to think not. Hot vs. Cold Preferences: Should coffee stay hot for hours, or is it meant to naturally cool? The team takes sides. Future Innovations: Todd proposes a Han Solo in Carbonite cocoa mug that might just be the next million-dollar Star Wars collectible. This episode is pointless in the best way possible, bringing deep analysis to the most mundane daily decisions. Whether you're a casual sipper or a mug connoisseur, you'll never look at your cup collection the same way again.

Today we discuss Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Zuckuss and 4-LOM are after Han Solo.

In order to be accepted by the Rebellion, they rescue some Rebel survivor's from the Battle of Hoth.

Porque ya os conté que mis padres, ¡unos benditos! me dejaron empapelar la habituación con “posters” de mis coches favoritos… y era lo último que veía al acostarme y lo primero que veía al levantarme. La verdad es que es cierto: Mis padres eran unos benditos. Porque con unos 15 años les pedí que me dejasen decorar mi habitación a mi gusto y me dieron luz verde: Pinte los marcos de naranja intenso con partes en negro mate y llené las paredes de poster de coches y motos… Os recuerdo que nací en 1960… así que como he puesto el año de aparición de cada modelo, ya sabéis mi edad… en torno a los 16 años… en plena adolescencia… ahora estoy en la “viejolescencia” … Los tres mejores, los que hacían podio, están al final. El resto los he puesto por orden inverso de preferencia… más o menos. Porque usé probablemente cerca de 50 posters… estos son los destacados. 10. Pontiac Trans-Am Firebird (1976). Me refiero a la segunda generación, si es negro y con un águila dorado en el capó, como el que conducía Burt Reynolds en la película “Los Caraduras”. 9. De Tomaso Mangusta (1967). Descubrí este coche, como muchos otros, gracias a la magnífica colección de coches metálicos a escala 1/43 de la marca española Auto Pilen. 8. Porsche 936 (1976). Por supuesto blanco con los colores Martini… ¡que preciosidad! Este modelo era nada menos que el sucesor del 917 y nada menos que en antecesor del 956. Y ganó las “24 Horas de Le Mans” nada menos que 3 veces en los años 76, 77 y 81… las 3 con Jacky Ickx… un figura. 7. Ferrari BB (1973). BB o mejor aún, Berlinetta Bóxer. Y es que en una de esas maravillosas revistas de las que os hablo en mi podcast descubrí un articulo técnico sobre este coche… y me enamoré. 6. Alpine A442 Turbo (1978). Didier Pironi, un joven y brillante piloto que solo la mala suerte le impidió ser Campeón de Mundo del F1, acompañado del experto Jean Pierre Jaussaud, piloto de 41 años, vencieron en Le Mans del 78. 5. Lancia Stratos (1973). El primer rallye que fui a ver en mi vida, de largo nombre fue el II Criterium Pub 6 Peniques/Criterium Luis de Baviera de 1977. 4. Alpine A310 Calberson Gr.4 (1977). Este coche, con el que mi querido piloto Guy Frequelin con el dorsal número 2 fue Campeón de Francia de 1977 podría haber estado en la primera posición tranquilamente… No lo está por una razón muy sencilla: El póster de este coche era muy pequeño… y llegó después, cuando los mejores espacios estaban ya ocupados. 3. Porsche 911 Turbo (1975). Lo sé, BMW lo había hecho antes con el BMW 2002 Turbo, que también podría haber estado en esta lista. Pero siempre lo digo, la fama de coche complicado de conducir, pero extremadamente eficaz del 911 con motor turbo primero de 260 CV y más tarde de 300 CV, hacían de él un modelo muy atractivo… el atractivo de los “malos de la película” … ¿Quién se acuerda del “blandito” de Luke Skywalker de “La Guerra de la Galaxias”? Se acuerdan de Darth Vader y de Han Solo, el malo de la película y el “malote” … Con el tiempo descubrí que el 911 no era “malote” sino que era, por carácter, malo, muy malo… 2. Lotus 78 (1977). Bueno, en realidad fue en 1978 cuando convivió con el 79 y ganó el Mundial de constructores y pilotos… Pero el primero fue el 78 y ver a ese monoplaza en acción era sinceramente un espectáculo que te dejaba embobado. Era tal la superioridad del efecto suelo que, sobre todo en curvas rápidas, se apreciaba a simple vista… 1. Renault RS01 (1977). El 14 de julio de 1977, apenas dos semanas antes de que cumpliese los 17 años, debutó en Silverstone un coche que lo cambiaria todo. Recordemos que reglamento lastraba enormemente a los coches sobre alimentados. Conclusión. En mi familia hay quien me pregunta, más bien se pregunta, si después de tantos años, tantos como 64, ¡tantísimos! me gustan los coches como antes… y siempre digo que, para mi sorpresa, no me gustan igual… ¡me gustan más!

Brim, Kim Adragna and Mr. Greer are back at it again.

With all the talk about Crimson Jack in Skeleton Crew we felt this was a perfect time to share another Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics episode! Issue #108 “Forever Crimson!” (2019), is a special continuation of Issue #50 “The Crimson Forever” (1981). This was part of Marvel's 80th Anniversary celebration in 2019 where they added this issue 33 years after the classic Star Wars series ended in 1986.    Richard and Sarah break down “Forever Crimson!” - it's story, artwork, and the HUGE amount of Star Wars EU Easter eggs! Jaxxon and Amaiza are back! Valance the Hunter and Domina Tagge make an appearance. This comic even references vornskr and the witches of Dathomir. Could there be more references to pop culture in this comic than SKELETON CREW??

The tyrannical Dark Lords of the Sith who ruled the galaxy, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, are destroyed, and the heroic Rebel Alliance has restored freedom to the star systems with the formation of the New Republic.   But a long-forgotten threat, one more terrible than even the Sith, is still out there in the wilds of deep space, and its return could annihilate all life in the galaxy! Once again, only the freedom fighters Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo can hope to stand against the forces of evil.
