Podcast appearances and mentions of nate tapp

As the Dark Nest draws to a close and Luke Skywalker finishes watching Revenge of the Sith, the cry-curious Nate Tapp rounds out his trio of guest spots by tripling down on trilogy talk with us. Does The Swarm War warrant three hearty throat-clicks, or do we discard it like Huttwash (and if we discard, do we add two Swarm cards that cost 0 to our hand)?

Tibanna tapper Nate Tapp taps back in for a bantha-sized, hubba-shaped debate over whether the second Dark Nest novel satisfies like a delicious slice of live action pizza or gets more muddled than nebular miasma. The real plot twist, however, is that we stop kriffing around and finally reveal that this whole Young Jedi Knights Club thing has just been a backdoor Lost podcast the whole time...

Rub your forearms together for the kingly Nate Tapp, who joins our hive mind as the podcast enters its insectoid era all about Troy Denning's Dark Nest trilogy! Grab a can of gelmeat and an orb of membrosia for an episode that's crawling with conversation about audiobook omissions, thorny throuples, and a Prime Unu who may have violated the Prime Directive... 

As Indy lands himself a gig as stuntman to gain access to an artifact, Nate lands himself on the show to chat with us about watching Skeleton Crew with his children, watching Young Indiana Jones with his wife, and reading an Indiana Jones comic by himself. Plus, the Criterion Challenge, Alamo Drafthouse, Byrdie the Duck, and more!

As Luke and Tanith Shire find themselves marooned and captured by the Serpent Masters, Brian and Sam find themselves captured by Nate Tapp's charms, as he returns to the podcast to talk with us about Andor as a whole, his comic book focused curriculum, and the joyful sight of a dude in Stormtrooper armor riding a flying snake and holding a gosh darned LANCE.

As Luke and Leia attempt to unthaw communications with Colonel Odan on the ice world of Akuria, Nate Tapp keeps things chill by joining us to discuss our frosty feelings about Black Widow and the MCU, to see how many ice-cold instances of worms we can remember from the Star Wars universe, and to let us snow what he thinks about the old-school style of Marvel Star Wars comics in the seventies. 

We're making ranked lists...checking them twice...introducing a new thematic device: the Rankin/Bass Rank-A-Thon! Nate Tapp helps us evaluate four time-tested Christmas animations as we crown the classic among classics.

We celebrate the ho-ho-holiday season with Tim Allen's turn as a smart aleck St. Nick in THE SANTA CLAUSE. Special guest Nate Tapp cartoonishly squeezes down our chimney to help us examine the fine print on this Santa succession story. Naughty or nice, this magical episode is our gift to you!

As the Star Warriors follow the trail of downed Rebel pilot Tay Vanis to the ocean planet of Iskalon, Sam and Brian welcome Nate Tapp to the podcast to discuss some of their warm feelings of Return of the Jedi, to investigate the emotional and financial value of Porg glassware, and to guess as to what exactly "the Iskalon Effect" might be.

Baseball and brews go hand in hand, so what better way to watch THE SANDLOT than with our tipsy commentary track? Special guest Nate Tapp makes it a triple play as we drink our way through every minute of this ageless classic. Check out the drinking game rules on our blog to play along. Batter up!
