Here are some supplementary items for the latest podcast episode (Hipster Superheroes) to keep you in the loop and give you some context.
Star Wars
Episode 3: Hipster Superheroes
We’re back for our third episode. I’m a little bit more awake in this one, and Gedge is as angry and clueless as always. In this one we catch up on last week’s news and answer the big question: can Kurt Russell still pull off Snake Plissken?
Also, we hate hipster millennial bullshit, but we love the new Batgirl comic. Listen to why we think it’s cool even though we’re not 16 year old girls. We also get around to answering a listener question.
D23 Roundup: Star Wars
Disney’s D23 Expo (D23 is Disney’s fan club, referencing 1923, the year Walt Disney arrived in California and started his studio) came and went this past weekend, giving us some insights on upcoming Disney projects ranging from theme parks, to animation, to live action movies. This is exciting to us, because that means we got new details on new Marvel and Star Wars crap coming down the pipe. As neither Gedge or I were able (or willing) to attend the conference, here’s what we heard second hand.
New Force Awakens Pictures For Your Eyes
In anticipation of Disney’s D23 media conference this weekend, Entertainment Weekly has dropped a whole bunch of new pictures from the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We haven’t talked a ton about Star Wars on the podcast yet, but I can assure you that we will, and as we get closer to the release date, we’ll report on any cool news.
