Podcasts about Millennium Falcon

Punching in the coordinates for an unexpected detour, John Parton joins us aboard the Millennium Falcon in a real barrel of taurill that makes the jump through the freighter's offbeat ownership history and straight into a Black Hole of tangents. We bounce between topics faster than a bat-falcon and could have kept talking for a millennium, while asking how the frip James Luceno turned a book about a spaceship into Absolute Literature.   

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we pay homage to Marcia Lucas, OG Star Wars film editor and Oscar winner, who sadly passed away this week.Steff then regales us at length of his Floridian adventures at the House of Mouse, and what piloting the Millennium Falcon felt like (although Hutch is having none of the inaccuracies). Finally, we move on to the main event, a review of the first new Star Wars movie for six years: The Mandalorian and Grogu. It's a spoiler filled dissection- You have been warned!Next, the boys are jetting off for a brief break on sunnier shores, watch this space for more movie goodness soon.You can contact us at:2ndchancecinemaclub@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Disney has reimagined several of its rides and attractions for Summer 2026, so we share our reviews for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Soarin' Across America, Smugglers Run with Mandalorian and Grogu, new Animation Courtyard and more! Big thank you to Walt Disney World for inviting me for media previews, especially since it allowed me to ride Rock 'n' Roller Coaster enough to (nearly) get every song! (I'll get you Walking on Sunshine, next time!)

Muppets, Mandalorians & The Millennium Falcon This week, we were lucky enough to take a quick trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. While the visit was brief, we packed a lot of stuff in including several new additions to one of our favorite parks. That's right! For this episode, we're talking all about Muppets, Mandalorians & The Millennium Falcon - Our Day at Disney Hollywood Studios. We'll share our thoughts on the changeover to Rock 'n' Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets and the new Mandalorian focused version of Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. We also discuss the newly reimagined Animation Courtyard and tell you why it may be our favorite spot in that park. Oh, but that isn't the end of our discussion about things from A Galaxy Far, Far Away. We also give you our spoiler-free review of The Mandalorian & Grogu. Find our what we thought about the first Star Wars film to hit the big screen in nearly 7 years. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete our Muppets, Mandalorians & The Millennium Falcon segments, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share details about a big anniversary for one of our favorite enchanted Disneyland locations. Speaking of The Happiest Place On Earth, we also tell you about some good news for those looking to split time between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on their next visit. Certainly, that's not all. As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next Disney vacation.   If you have any comments, questions, or requests to cover a particular topic, please feel free to Contact Us!   We also invite you to join the positive fun in our Hyperion Adventurers Facebook Group as well as our Hyperion Mornings on YouTube for a daily dose of live positive chat!   Thanks for listening! Cheers!  

FOLLOW UP: This week, it seems America believes every complicated social problem can be fixed by asking, “Have you tried turning the internet off for the children?” Meanwhile, the Electronic Frontier Foundation quietly notes that the science behind social media bans might not be as clear-cut as cable-news dads screaming about dopamine loops claim. Turns out, teen anxiety may also be linked to pandemics, school shootings, climate dread, and an economy that feels like a Fallout side quest. Meanwhile, Snap Inc. and YouTube settled another lawsuit accusing their apps of turning kids into doomscrolling goblins, Meta continues to insist social media addiction isn't real while losing money in court, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed at a graduation speech after telling graduates to hop on the AI rocket ship without asking questions — exactly what a billionaire says when he already owns the rocket.In the news, Elon Musk lost another OpenAI lawsuit because apparently even juries have limits. SpaceX's IPO revealed Musk plans to power AI with enough gas turbines to recreate 1890s London smog, and Grok officially became a disclosure liability after the whole “MechaHitler” incident. Tesla robotaxis still clip fences and occasionally require humans to remotely drive the “self-driving” cars. Trump Mobile somehow shipped a gold phone that actually works — a stunning upset — before immediately leaking customer data. LinkedIn finally admitted the platform has become an AI-generated motivational swamp filled with “it's not about X, it's about Y” sludge from people named Brayden. Spotify is handing out podcast verification badges so listeners can tell real creators from algorithmic nightmare fuel. Meta laid off thousands more workers while reportedly using employee surveillance to train AI replacements. And OpenAI is giving everyone in Malta a free year of ChatGPT Plus if they complete an AI literacy course, which honestly makes Malta sound more technologically responsible than Silicon Valley.APPS & DOODADS reflect classic Gen-X paranoia, as Backblaze highlights California's constant threat of wildfires and the idea that local backups are optimistic. YouTube introduced AI deepfake detection tools, allowing creators to finally see which scam ads are using their faces to promote crypto vitamins, while X limited free users to 50 posts a day unless they pay for a blue check — proving once again that the true free speech was the subscriptions we sold along the way. Retrocodex arrived with a strong “everything your teachers confidently told you in 1987 was wrong” vibe.MEDIA CANDY opens with the eternal cry of “FUCK THE FIRETV!!!!” before Jason taps out of Good Omens after ten minutes while Brian takes the bullet for the audience. There's also chatter about Mortal Kombat 2, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Billy Corgan talking goth history with David J, and more existential dread courtesy of Dan Carlin's Common Sense.THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE welcomes back Dave Bittner for a Mando & Grogu review, Darth Maul, and a stunning but absurdly expensive LEGO Disneyland set. There's also a guy who built a full-size Millennium Falcon “with his wife's permission,” a fan-made Star Tours film, and the Federal Trade Commission discovering that those creepy “your phone is listening to you” ad-tech companies mainly just had PowerPoint decks and confidence. Also: mechanical keyboard simulators now exist, because apparently even fake typing has become a lifestyle brand.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

We touch on whether Soarin' Over California is getting an extension, why we desperately want to hear the full Magic of Disney Animation background music loop, and the practical (and financial) reasons why a certain $399 Disneyland Lego set won't be fitting in our studio anytime soon.Join the Team!We are officially forming our team for the upcoming CHOC Walk!

Lords: Jenni Chris Topics: Having to relearn how to autism mask for parenting situations because the rules are different APPARENTLY Only after five years learning to how make an irrigation system for a thousand plants, do I finally truly understand Han Solo's struggles with the Millenium Falcon. The D&D conspiracy theory I saw a few days ago and can't find now Don't Ever Kill the Buddha, by adzolotl https://irrealisms.tumblr.com/post/677079389150887936/dont-ever-kill-the-buddha Microtopics: Kitchen Bitchin' Forgetting about plugs because there's a small child. Out of Taskmaster again. A tiny, very opinionated man. Only understanding about seven concepts but having strong opinions about all of them. Plugging PicoSteveMo again. The Longing is Real Time. Being in charge of all the Jaunt capsules for a few minutes before you fuck someone's life up. What Stephen King would say if he heard about PicoSteveMo. PicoSteveMo: it's a good time. People at the bank thinking you're normal. Ordering whatever donuts make sense. Whether autistic people can order donuts. Putting on your donut ordering face and instructing your toddler to do whatever makes sense. Enjoying activating objects. Loving to access their functions. A wonderful world where everything is interactive, especially dog tails. What is a dog's tail for if not grabbing?? Better child-rearing outcomes associated with having heard more words. Keeping a running commentary going while you put pants on your toddler. Successfully interrupting your toddler before they disassemble anyone's grocery order. Drug dealers in the parking lot who love when your toddler tries to catch a bird. Yes! Yes, it's you! Feel shame! Learning how to make small talk so you can get a job at Spencer's Gifts. Whether you're autistic or if it's some other weird trauma instead. Dad at Swim Class. The kind of dads they have in Bakersfield. Trying to find O.G. Dad in the Dad Soup. Patriogenesis. Fixing the water pressure on one end of the line which breaks all the janky connectors on the other end of the line. The Big Chungus Alarm that you installed five years ago when you were working with the Big Chungus system. Robots tearing themselves apart in ways you don't understand vs. in ways you do. People who have worked on complicated systems. Trying something new and suddenly you're dumb again. The Millennium Falcon as a jalopy from American Graffiti. Twenty extremely cool-dressed Asian kids in their twenties with souped up cars there's a racist term for that I legitimately don't remember, I'm not just trying to avoid saying it. Somebody flipping their car in front of your house while the baby is trying to nap. Self depreciation in the South Bay pan-Asian community. Keeping nitrous oxide balloons in the back of your sports car and popping one into the Mr. Balloon when you need a speed boost. Kids making too many U-turns in the 1950s and the No U-Turn signs are still making it hard to get their you're going to this day. Things everyone knows about Walter White. Black Walnut Trees extruding Juggalos, killing everyone in the vicinity. A biome map that looks like when you take Minecraft and turn the biome setting to "really small" The D&D conspiracy theory that you saw on Tumblr but can't find any more. Being outed as someone who still thinks in terms of THACO. Running a Shadowdark campaign and making delighted noises the entire time. D&D characters leveling up too much and wanting to run a business. What purpose dice serve in a TTRPG. Rolling two natural ones in a row and cutting your own head off. Orcs running ice-cream shops. Having a hypomanic episode about not being allowed to be an elf with chainmail. Having the Red Box and also the four subsequent boxes of different colors. Picking up a gold piece and putting it back down over and over because finding a gold piece is worth 1 XP. Reading a lot of things that rhyme. Reading Dr. Seuss like Ulysses. Playing pranks on people who reincarnate. When one set of footprints disappeared it's when you married the Buddha and he carried you over the threshold. Everyone trying to understand the "kill the Buddha" koan when it's just that the guy really hated the Buddha.

The Heart Of Disney - Heartwarming Motherly Moments Through the Eras The week, we are recording and releasing this episode on Mother's Day.

Dive into the cosmic chaos of this special May the 4th bonus episode of Systematic Geekology, where they explore the Jedi Council's significant role in shaping the destinies of Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. Rose, John, and Kevin are all aboard the Millennium Falcon of thought, dissecting how the Council's decisions influenced these iconic characters' journeys—spoiler alert, it's not all sunshine and lightsabers. They tackle the fine line between the Council's guardianship and their rigid adherence to rules, which ultimately led to Anakin's tragic downfall and Ahsoka's disillusionment. With a mix of humor and insightful commentary, this episode serves up a fresh perspective on the Council's impact amidst the backdrop of the grand Star Wars saga. So, grab your lightsabers and tune in as they geek out about the Force, board meetings, and the faces behind the most epic stories in the galaxy! Celebrating the iconic May the 4th, Systematic Geekology pulls back the curtain on the Jedi Council's impact on two of Star Wars' most pivotal characters: Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. The panel, featuring the dynamic trio of Rose, John Erdely, and Kevin Schaefer, dives deep into the Council's decision-making process, revealing how their rigid structure and traditional views contributed to Anakin's tragic fall to the dark side. They explore the nuances of the Jedi's hesitations regarding Anakin's attachments, particularly his love for his mother and later Padmé, suggesting that this emotional depth was perceived as a weakness by the Council. The discussion flows like a lightsaber duel, sparking insights on how the Council's failure to adapt and connect with their Jedi ultimately led to their downfall. Ahsoka's story is also examined, showcasing her disillusionment with the Council—a pathway that beautifully mirrors Anakin's own journey. As they unravel these character arcs, the hosts inject humor and relatability, likening the Jedi Council to modern-day boards of directors, complete with the bureaucratic banter. This episode is a must-listen for fans eager to understand the underlying themes of choice, attachment, and the eternal struggle between light and dark, all while celebrating the beloved Star Wars universe in a light-hearted, engaging manner.Takeaways:The Jedi Council's early dismissal of Anakin Skywalker illustrates how institutional skepticism can hinder potential greatness.Ahsoka Tano's exit from the Jedi Order showcases the consequences of mistrust and the need for personal autonomy in the face of authority.The dynamic between Anakin and the Jedi Council reflects a broader commentary on the challenges of leadership and governance in high-stakes environments.Exploring the Jedi Council's influence reveals the complexity of attachment and emotional connections in a rigidly structured order.The podcast dives deep into how the Jedi Council's decisions shaped the destinies of pivotal characters like Anakin and Ahsoka, highlighting the weight of leadership choices.Listeners gain insight into the flaws within the Jedi Council, drawing parallels to real-world organizations and their governance challenges..Be sure to check out our merch, find extra content, and become an official member of Systematic Geekology on our website:https://systematic-geekology-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of our annual theme series for 2026, "The Faces Behind Us":https://player.captivate.fm/collection/dd903597-98be-49ed-998c-5cdaf73b6af4.Listen to our other Star Wars episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/8a69b978-b30c-4515-9e5d-a38a84cc367f.Check out other episodes with Kevin:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/84fd7d06-cf1f-48e5-b358-09a01c5a6bc9.Check out other episodes with Will:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/4559ab55-4b6a-4432-b0a7-b61540df8803.Listen to all of John's episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/0501276f-17e9-48cf-81a7-140cc6dbad53Mentioned in this episode:Systematic GeekologyOur show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective.

wat hebben een vape-shop in Mortsel, zeldzame Pokémon-kaarten en de quantummechanica met elkaar gemeen? Onze gast van vandaag: Jeroen de Herdt! In deze bomvolle aflevering duiken we diep in de wereld van ondernemerschap en spiritualiteit. We bespreken het naderende smaakjesverbod voor e-sigaretten, de krankzinnige bedragen die worden neergelegd voor vintage Barbies, en waarom je brein eigenlijk een soort quantumcomputer is. En omdat het 4 mei is, sluiten we af met een epische Star Wars-quiz (met een vleugje chaos) en een prachtig gedicht van Rumi.Gast: Jeroen de Herdt (Ondernemer, Vapestore-eigenaar, Instrumentenbouwer & Spiritueel Spreker) Datum: 4 mei 2026 Hosts: Istvan, Mario, Chris & MinjaDe Vape-Controverse: Jeroen vertelt over de nieuwe wetgeving in België en het aangekondigde smaakjesverbod voor 2028. Is vappen een legitiem hulpmiddel om te stoppen met roken, of een nieuwe verslaving?Collectibles & Nostalgie: Waarom zijn Pokémon-kaarten en vintage Barbies plotseling duizenden euro's waard? We bespreken de psychologie achter het verzamelen en de invloed van de "grading"-cultuur in de VS.Quantum Clothing & Bewustzijn: Jeroen legt de link tussen quantummechanica en spiritualiteit. Wat zegt het "Observer Effect" over hoe wij de realiteit waarnemen?Religie vs. Evolutie: Een pittige discussie aan tafel: is religie een noodzakelijk maatschappelijk kader of een achterhaald evolutionair mechanisme?The Fourth Be With You: Een eenmalige Star Wars Quiz ter ere van 4 mei. Wie weet het meest over Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu en de Millennium Falcon? (Let op: de uitslag is controversieel!

Twee podcastmakers voor een speciale aflevering over het spectaculaire Star Wars-gebied in de Amerikaanse Disneyparken. Els Aerts werkt mee aan Nerdland, Erwin Taets is de man achter Ochtend in Pretparkland. En ze zijn allebei Trekkies, dat wist ik niet op voorhand.Galaxy's Edge huisvest Batuu, een planeet die nog niet bestond in het universum van Star Wars. Er zijn twee attracties: 'Smuggler's Run' waarmee je zelf de Millennium Falcon kan besturen en 'Rise of the Resistance', een van de strafste en meest interactieve darkrides ooit gebouwd.We hebben het over een extra, betalende attractie waar je zelf een lightsaber (een lichtgevende stok, dixit Erwin) kan samenstellen. We beoordelen Oga's Cantina, een cocktailbar die de gouden regel van Walt Disney rond alcohol heeft doorbroken. En we analyseren de grote flop in de marge van dit project: het luxehotel Galactic Starcruiser.We ontdekken hoe we Galaxy's Edge te danken hebben aan 'Jurassic Park', hoe een 'Harry Potter'-attractie eerst aan Disney werd aangeboden, en hoe emotioneel het lief van Els werd in Cars Land. En er is nog een leuk weetje over Big Thunder Mountain.Bright suns en blauwe melk voor iedereen!

Burger King's got The Mandalorian and Grogu stuff for kids and adults.  Millennium Falcon meets Mando? Smuggler's Run is going to somehow incorporate The Mandalorian and Grogu?

In FOLLOW UP, the child social media crackdown keeps expanding. Turkey just approved a ban for under-15s, and Sony will require age verification for PlayStation communication features in the UK and Ireland starting in June—because now you need to prove you're an adult before trash-talking strangers online. Meanwhile, Anthropic's prediction that fully autonomous AI employees would already be transforming business hasn't materialized. Agentic systems are still struggling with basic workflows and, in some cases, slowing developers down. And in a more concrete reversal, Elon Musk acknowledged that pre-2023 Tesla Hardware 3 will never support Full Self-Driving. Customers who paid for the feature are now being steered toward discounted trade-ins, new cameras, and upgraded hardware—prompting obvious legal exposure.IN THE NEWS: SpaceX is reportedly targeting what could be the largest IPO ever, at roughly a $1.75 trillion valuation, with dual-class shares that preserve Musk's control through super-voting rights. Prediction markets continue to degrade: Kalshi suspended political candidates for trading on their own races, and Polymarket saw alleged manipulation via a tampered weather sensor at Charles de Gaulle Airport. On the AI front, Anthropic's new Mythos model had a chaotic rollout—used by the NSA, applied to patch hundreds of Firefox vulnerabilities, and briefly exposed through unauthorized access in a developer portal. Amazon followed with a $25 billion investment in Anthropic, even as governments appear to access similar capabilities independently.At the same time, the economics are tightening. Free tiers are shrinking, GitHub Copilot is shifting to token-based billing after costs doubled, and startups are normalizing six-figure monthly AI compute bills. Infrastructure growth continues unchecked: thousands of new data centers are planned across the U.S., while xAI faces scrutiny in Memphis over water usage and delayed mitigation projects. Environmental commitments increasingly resemble marketing rather than enforceable targets.Policy signals are equally aggressive. DHS is exploring smart glasses for ICE agents with facial recognition and gait analysis by 2027. Palantir published a manifesto advocating expanded use of state power with rhetoric that raised concerns about ideological framing. On a lighter note, a University of California, Santa Barbara study suggests that brief exposure to experimental film measurably increases creativity compared to standard social media consumption.MEDIA CANDY: Silo returns July 3 on Apple TV+, while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 is expected sooner than planned. Battlestar Galactica lands on Paramount+ and Pluto TV May 1. Dead Can Dance is releasing monthly singles via its Bandcamp imprint. Deezer reports 44% of daily uploads—about 75,000 tracks—are AI-generated, though only a small fraction of streams come from them, many flagged as fraudulent. And yes, Jessica Jones is back in Daredevil.APPS & DOODADS: Apple patched the notification-cache bug that allowed forensic tools to recover deleted Signal messages. Roblox agreed to a $12 million settlement with Nevada and is rolling out facial age estimation, ID verification, and new contact controls, while still facing multi-state litigation. Cash App is targeting younger users—ages six to twelve—with parent-managed accounts, debit cards, and interest incentives. Separately, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction protecting ICE-tracking apps, ruling that government pressure on Apple and Meta to remove them likely violated First Amendment protections.IN THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE: AI-generated Star Wars fan films are improving visually, even if performances remain rigid. The current era of Star Trek is effectively closing out with a large prop auction, notably excluding Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Tim catches up with Sam Fender live from LA where the last 48 hours have been completely unhinged. In that time he saw Paul McCartney at an intimate 1,000 cap venue, had dinner with Elton John, got introduced to Al Pacino and somehow held himself together without mentioning they share the same birthday, and flew the Millennium Falcon at Disneyland. Rein Me In has been number one in the UK for five weeks and he spent the last three months playing PlayStation and eating pizza. A true artist. He also apologises to Sydney for not bringing Olivia Dean on stage at his ARIA show, which is all Tim wanted from this interview.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lando Calrissian is a man of interesting tastes... from his first major ship being a Corellian YT-class freighter, to his on again-off again possibly romantic entanglement to a navigation droid, to basically taking over Han's wardrobe.But he's always had a sense of class and a love for luxury, so it's no surprise that the first ship he bought after the Battle of Endor was the Lady Luck, a 50-meter long luxury space yacht.Join Mark and Garrett as they dive deep into the Landos love for luxurious and lucky ladies... specifically his amazing ships... provided Han Solo doesn't ever get his hands on them.

Step into the Star Wars Escape Pod for a spirited, "Bogan's Advocate" debate where fans take on the ultimate challenge: defending the parts of the Skywalker Saga they actually dislike. In this episode, the crew dives into The Force Awakens, grappling with whether it's a brilliant, beautiful continuation of the franchise or a nostalgic "reboot" that plays it too safe. From praising Adam Driver's intense performance as Ben Solo to critiquing the lightning-fast character shifts of Finn, no stone in the Jakku desert is left unturned... If there was any stones to begin with. It's a hilarious and insightful mix of high-praise cinematography talk and honest fan frustration, perfect for anyone who has ever felt "empty inside" after a premiere—or just really loves a good Millennium Falcon skid.

We look at the all-new second trailer released for Maul: Shadow Lord for a shot-by-shot breakdown of every blast bolt, lightsaber stab, and Jedi backflip. Plus, we investigate clues that Maul will play a Batman-like vigilante role in Shadow Lord and more. And, Grogu at The Oscars, an ashtray found onboard the Millennium Falcon, and more buff Hutts.

Time to roll the dice for a...silliness check? It's an all new episode of Geek at Arms! From the City on a Hill gaming podcast we welcome good friend of the show Ryan! He kicks off Geek Out by sharing a profound philosophical truth: Any Lego set can be the Millennium Falcon if you just believe hard enough. He also shares his experience with the new Nintendo Switch 2. Bryan follows up with his thoughts on the factory building game Satisfaction and the final season of Stranger Things. James shares how much unexpected pleasure he's found in the game Hunting Simulator 2 and his plans for upcoming game nights at his church. Mike wraps it up with describing how much he's enjoyed the book, and audio book, of Space Opera by Catherynne Morgan Valente. In the main topic, the guys take "a serious look at silliness" in roleplaying games. How it can be a fun experience, the dangers of it taking over a game, and how it can positively impact mental health.

Star Wars news has a lot to do with Galaxy's Edge and Video Games. Then James tells us all about a guy named Obi-Wan Kenobi? Finally: The bricks are back in the sandbox, and this time they brought history with them. In this episode, we dive into “Lego Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past”, the latest chapter in the delightfully scrambled galaxy far, far away. If you thought canon was sturdy, this special gleefully pops it apart like a Millennium Falcon mid-hyperdrive tune-up and snaps it back together in ways that would make even Darth Vader tilt his helmet. We break down the biggest twists, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it deep cuts, and the moments that had us pausing to say, “Wait… did they really just do that?” From unexpected character mashups to lore-bending brick wizardry, this installment leans fully into playful chaos while still sneaking in heartfelt beats under the plastic sheen. We also talk about how the special connects to the larger LEGO Star Wars universe, what longtime fans of Star Wars will appreciate most, and whether this story truly honors the “pieces of the past” or just joyfully rearranges them. Is it a clever remix of galactic history? A nostalgia-powered starfighter? Or just pure LEGO-fueled fun with a hyperdrive strapped to it? Grab your kyber crystals and your brick separators. It's time to rebuild the galaxy… again.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Bienvenidos al rincón más peligroso de La Guarida del Sith. Aquí no hay guion, no hay música épica y, desde luego, no hay ningún intento serio de parecer profesionales. En Los Poscréditos publicamos lo que se habla antes de empezar a grabar… y después de apagar los micros. Y sí, muchas veces es más caótico que el propio programa. En esta entrega se juntan los restos gloriosos de varias grabaciones recientes: el programa de Dark Empire (Imperio Oscuro Parte 1) dentro del universo de Star Wars, el debate incendiario sobre lo peor de la saga, la charla sobre The Running Man de Stephen King y sus adaptaciones The Running Man y la nueva versión en camino, además del programa dedicado a The Mist y su adaptación cinematográfica The Mist dirigida por Frank Darabont. ¿El resultado? Conversaciones que empiezan hablando de cómics, acaban discutiendo sobre películas, derivan en bromas internas y terminan con alguien preguntando si ya estábamos grabando todo eso. Aquí salen teorías improvisadas, comentarios que jamás habrían pasado el corte del programa oficial y momentos donde el debate serio se va por el hiperespacio más rápido que el Millennium Falcon. Si alguna vez te has preguntado qué pasa realmente entre bambalinas en La Guarida, este es el lugar donde se escucha todo: las risas, los desvaríos, los comentarios sin filtro… y algún que otro momento que probablemente debería haberse quedado fuera del micrófono.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de La Guarida del Sith.

The icy blast of Hoth hits The Commentary Booth as Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey continue their epic 50th Anniversary Star Wars rewatch with the legendary Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, which is often hailed as the greatest sequel of all time!In this packed episode, Jamie and Corrina dive into the darker, deeper chapter of the saga. They discuss the film's chilling opening on the ice planet, Luke's transformative training with the wise (and mischievous) Yoda, and the game-changing introduction of Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett. Get ready for deep dives into iconic moments like Han Solo's daring Tauntaun rescue to the most famous (and most misquoted) line in cinematic history: “No, I am your father.”The hosts debate the impact of the 2004 CGI alterations, share fascinating behind-the-scenes trivia (like how George Lucas self-financed the film), and unpack the complex character growth of Luke, Han, and Leia. They also reveal their personal ratings and debate where this classic ranks in the original trilogy.Highlights Breakdown:

Fireworks before sunrise, yoga in the cold, and a finish line that felt like a farewell—this Disneyland race weekend had a different kind of electricity. We open with Miss Piggy's cameo on the castle screen and roll straight into the expo's virtual queue scramble, a quick detour through misplaced bib drama, and a check-in with Jeff and Barbara Galloway that left us optimistic and grateful. Between merch scarcity, the Dumbo hoodie frenzy, and smarter PhotoPass ops, the weekend balanced magic with mechanics in classic runDisney fashion.The 5K reminded us why the west coast course is beloved: quiet fireworks, a park-start and park-finish, and sunrise over Pixar Pier. A surprise “balloon lady” sighting and a late-course cut around Avengers Campus created some confusion, but the joy still landed. The 10K leaned into imagination—Sorcerer Mickey everywhere, Figment looping in our heads, and backstage Easter eggs like the Tower of Terror sign and A Bug's Life props. Photo lines moved faster, and runners helped each other grab those castle shots when photographers cleared out near the back.The half marathon tied it all together. Early laps through DCA, then a thoughtful route across Anaheim with out-and-backs that turned the race into a reunion. The 501st brought free hugs and big energy; third-shift custodial cast cheered like pros. We talk pacing with run-walk-run, efficient PhotoPass at small world and Millennium Falcon, and the thrill of a fast finish that also marked a 100th RunDisney medal. The DCA picnic-area meetup overflowed—cookies, bracelets, and the best conversations of the weekend—proof that this community keeps the magic alive long after the medals are hung.We close with the question on everyone's mind: will runDisney return to Disneyland? Some of us think yes, but not soon; others felt a real goodbye in Carissa's voice. Either way, the stories, tips, and friendships from this weekend are here to keep you moving.

Are you trying to build your life without a guide? In this message, we dive into Genesis 2 to look at the "Millennium Falcon" picture of God's original design. Before the world got complicated, God established a clear roadmap for our work, our relationships, and our identity.Whether you're feeling isolated, stuck in your career, or navigating the complexities of modern dating and marriage, this sermon offers a refreshing look at what it means to "work it and keep it" in the image of God.

May the Schwartz Be With You: A Spaceballs Deep DiveWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Adam Marshall Rini to close out Season 8 with Mel Brooks' 1987 sci-fi parody Spaceballs. The trio explores whether this childhood favorite still holds up with "grown-up eyes," debating everything from Rick Moranis' concussed helmet performance to Pizza the Hut's grotesque puppet design. Spoiler alert: opinions are divided, with ratings ranging from a nostalgic seven cans of Perri-Air down to a disappointed four.What Really Works (and What Doesn't)The hosts agree that Spaceballs operates on a hit-or-miss ratio—about 50-50, which they concede is pretty solid for parody films. Nathan finds himself pleasantly surprised by how much heart the film retains compared to other spoofs, noting that Mel Brooks maintains character development even while throwing jokes at the wall. The merchandising gags, the "now/then" video scene, and Rick Moranis playing with dolls all earn praise as moments that still land decades later. However, Adam feels the weight of having seen Brooks' masterpieces like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, making Spaceballs feel disappointingly broad by comparison.Nostalgia vs. RealityThe conversation reveals how much expectation shapes our viewing experience. Nathan went in prepared to groan but found genuine enjoyment, while Adam's fond childhood memories collided with adult disappointment. Krissy appreciates the film's innocent, joyful approach to parody—it celebrates Star Wars rather than targeting it with edgy mockery. The group also notes how many dated references (Ford Galaxy cars, Michael Winslow's radar sounds) create an unintentional time capsule effect that's now charming rather than topical.Additional Highlights:The film's constant exposition and repeated revelations feel either intentionally melodramatic or surprisingly sloppyGeorge Lucas loved the movie and allowed Brooks to park the Millennium Falcon at the dinerBill Pullman's face-plant sound effect and Mel Brooks buckling a bear into a space pod remain comedy goldThe Yuma, Arizona sand dunes provided the perfect backdrop for the desert planet scenesWatching double features of Mel Brooks films reveals his decline from Blazing Saddles through Robin Hood: Men in TightsFinal VerdictDespite mixed ratings, the hosts agree Spaceballs remains a revisitable piece of 80s comedy—even if it doesn't quite reach the heights of Brooks' earlier work. Whether it's a prince or just Prince Valium depends entirely on what you bring to it.Ready to dive deeper? Head to TruStory FM to explore more episodes and learn about the network.

Send us a textFlorida didn't just thaw us out—it rewired how we explore. We landed in Fort Myers with a loose plan and a lot of curiosity, then let geolocation games, local tips, and a few bold choices turn a winter weekend into a highlight reel of hidden gems. We chased the oldest geocache in Florida through a recently burned Everglades trail, watched smoke curl above the path, and laughed about the gators we didn't see. A quick prompt led us to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, where the free grounds—lined with giant banyan trees and quiet labs—outshone the ticketed tour. And downtown delivered: Ford's Garage set the tone with gas pump door handles, tire sinks, and food that was way more than a gimmick.The Munzee community made the trip sing. We walked pristine park loops, mirrored sunsets on still water, and witnessed a crowning moment as Colecracker7 became the world's new number one. The hosts nailed the details: creative name tags, a “how did you get your handle” roll call, and a bingo card that turned strangers into fast friends. We put the new VACs feature to work and felt the difference—safer in cars, easier during walks, and perfect for travelers stacking caps across the city. By Sunday, the totals told the story: 5.1 million points in four days and a leaderboard bump that felt earned.Play followed us everywhere. Nice Guys Pizza glowed with blacklight art and a wall of pinball machines where a surprise upset changed our arcade pecking order. Millennial Brewing's mural tour jumped from DeLorean to Millennium Falcon, and for the first time, we all ordered the same sour. Then came Jungle Bird Tiki, a bamboo-wrapped oasis with generous pours in tall ceramic mugs, LED vines overhead, and food that kept us talking. It was the perfect landing spot to trade notes, plan the next event, and appreciate how Fort Myers and Cape Coral reward people who explore by foot, by app, and by appetite.If this journey gives you ideas, hit play and take notes. Subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves hidden gems, and leave a quick review so more travelers can find their way to the good stuff.

The most anticipated annual tradition on Out of Patients returns with the 2025 Holiday Podcast Spectacular starring Matthew's twins Koby and Hannah. Now 15 and a half and deep into sophomore year, the twins deliver another unfiltered year end recap that longtime listeners wait for every December. What began as a novelty in 2018 has become a time capsule of adolescence, parenting, and how fast childhood burns off.This year's recap covers real moments from 2025 A subway ride home with a bloodied face after running full speed into that tree that grows in Brooklyn. Broadway obsessions fueled by James Madison High School's Roundabout Youth Ensemble access, including Chess, & Juliet, Good Night and Good Luck, and Pirates of Penzance holding court on Broadway. A Disneylanmd trip where the Millennium Falcon triggered a full system reboot. A New York Auto Show pilgrimage capped by a Bugatti sighting. All the things.The twins talk school pressure, AP classes, learner permit anxiety, pop culture fixation, musical theater devotion, and the strange clarity that comes with turning 15. The humor stays sharp, the details stay specific, and the passage of time stays undefeated. This episode lands where the show works best: family, honesty, and letting young people speak for themselves.FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Here's what a perfect day in Hollywood Studios looks like! Morning: Rope Drop Energy & Star Wars DreamsIf you arrive at rope drop, you'll find excitement buzzing through the crowd. The sun is barely up, but everyone is already strategizing. For many, the first mission of the day is navigating Batuu.I headed straight to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, where the sounds of droids and starships fill the air. There's nothing quite like wandering the market stalls as the land wakes up. I hopped in line for Rise of the Resistance, which—no matter how many times you've ridden—is jaw-droppingly immersive. From the First Order Star Destroyer hangar to the runaway escape pod, it's more than a ride; it's a cinematic moment you get to live.Then it was time for a little friendly competition on Smugglers Run. I'm not saying I was the best pilot the Millennium Falcon has ever seen, but I did manage to avoid crashing into anything major.Late Morning: Toy Story Fun & NostalgiaFrom the rugged outpost of Batuu, I strolled into the colorful world of Toy Story Land. Giant building blocks, oversized toy footprints, and Slinky Dog whizzing by—everything here feels like Saturday morning nostalgia.Slinky Dog Dash is the perfect family coaster: smooth, joyful, fast enough to thrill but still full of charm. Afterward, Toy Story Mania offered a chance to test my aim. I walked away with slightly sore arms and enormous pride at beating my own high score.Lunch: A Break on Sunset BoulevardFor lunch, I wandered to Sunset Boulevard, grabbing a quick bite under the palm trees. Street performers were out, adding a little showbiz sparkle to the day. If you're hungry and in a rush, the snack options here are ideal—plus, there's always the temptation of a Mickey pretzel.Afternoon: Thrills, Shows & A Touch of Disney MagicYou can't visit Hollywood Studios without feeling that mix of excitement and dread as you approach The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The eerie music, the flickering marquees, the feeling that the building is watching you—it's chilling in the best way. The drop sequence? Still one of the most delightfully unpredictable thrills in all of Walt Disney World.Next door, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith delivers a lightning-fast launch that sends you straight into a whirlwind of neon. If you love coasters, this is one of those rides that sticks with you.Needing a breather afterward, I caught a showing of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. There's nothing quite like watching adults and kids alike belt out “Let It Go” with absolutely no shame. The humor and improv from the royal historians make this show a must-see.Evening: Pixar Place, Characters & Golden Hour MagicAs the sun dipped lower, I wandered around Pixar Place, where character meet-and-greets and playful photo ops made for perfect golden-hour memories. Hollywood Studios takes on a special glow in the evening—neon lights flicker to life, and the park feels cinematic in a whole new way.Dinner at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo hit the spot: creative dishes with that perfect Galaxy's Edge theming.Night: An Epic FinaleTo end the day, I found a spot for Fantasmic!, the iconic nighttime spectacular. Watching Sorcerer Mickey battle classic Disney villains while fountains, projections, and fireworks dance across the water is the perfect emotional wrap-up to the adventure.As the final burst of fireworks faded, I walked out with tired feet, a happily aching smile, and that warm, glowing feeling Disney seems to conjure so effortlessly.Final ThoughtsA day at Hollywood Studios is more than a park visit—it's stepping into your favorite movies, embracing nostalgia, chasing thrills, and soaking up wonderfully crafted storytelling from morning to night. Whether you're a Star Wars fan, a Pixar lover, a thrill-seeker, or just someone who appreciates Disney magic, Hollywood Studios delivers an unforgettable experience.

More than a dozen locations will be featured. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/soarin-across-america-at-disneyland-and-disney-world/ Southern Californians have been looking to the skies to get a glimpse of new possibilities coming to Disney Nighttime Entertainment. Recent drone testing in Santa Clarita, California has shown Disney characters from Peter Pan, to Moana, to Sorcerer Mickey, and more! Disney and ABC Studios own two lots on the Golden Oak Ranch where this testing is speculated to have taken place. To see what was being tested, check out the link in our show notes. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/22/is-this-video-a-major-clue-about-a-new-disney-drone-show/#more-1077132 https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disney-ranch-drones/ Something interesting that we learned when we were visiting is that Sip and Sonder, the coffee shop that was part of Parkside Market, had closed. In its place is Parkside Market Coffee & Tea.
