DRUNK STAR WARS, Pt. VI - Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (Commentary) (with Kregg Castillo)

HEEEEEY, Jaxilly is FINALLY putting out episodes AGAAAIIIN.  This one was recorded nearly a year and a half ago, but it is WORTH THE WAIT.  The Super Rios Brothers are at it again, talking about the Spider-Verse, David Lynch and cowboys, Saul Rubinek, the films of Jordan Peele, the raft of delightful Star Trek deep cuts in this episode, and occasionally the main plot about the two Rutherfords that serves as the primary story arc of the season.  Come party like it's 2022!

Carlos fucks up another holiday?

It’s COVIIIIIID TIME!  Jack’s got COVID, and you know what that means.  FUN.  Especially when Barm, Sam Stovold, and SEEEEEEAAAAAN Davis are talking about Room for Growth, just in time for the finale of the next season of the same show!  Listen and enjoy these chucklefucks talking about engineers, Delta Shift, their history with churros, Jellico AGAIN, Simpsons moments that just don’t sit right, and some Strange New Worlds casting talk that will SHOCK you, if you are in fall 2022.  Stay tuned for some Final Fantasy memories.  If you don’t listen to this, you’ll be like grampa left at the gas station….

Barm and Future Jack swoop in to rescue a crippled episode.  And in the process, make it a hundred times better than it ever could have been before.  So listen to them talk over Past Jack, Sam and Sean rating all their past teachers, talk about raising pigs, and maybe even occasionally mention this year old Lower Decks episode.  iIt’s sure to put you in the mood for some chingas!

It’s another ApeCast Lower Dex outing, as Jack and Geoff talk about K’Ranch and other silly condiments, as well as the return of Martok (in bootleg Ferengi form!), the appeals of low-key comedy with heart, and list as many variations on “The Most Dangerous Game” as they can remember.  It’s the best podcast out there not hosted by a sentient volcano, a telepathic baby, and a super-intelligent computer.

The Cerritos crew may be Grounded, but Jaxilly positively SOARS whenever the PD Crew gets back together!  That’s right, friends, you finally have in your ear buds something almost as legendary as Zephram Cochrane’s first warp flight: Jaxilly eps about Lower Decks SEASON THREE, miraculously even before season four has started.  Thrill to the gang waxing nostalgic over First Contact, confusing Phil Lamarr and Phil Morris, relitigating proper grape growing techniques, making Kev write new songs, and so much more. Make 125^th Contact… with FUN!

Break out the Cheeza, because it’s time for the annual (?) Discovery album breakdown! This time, Jack and Kev are boogeying down to some smoooooth-ass jazz, making this possibly the chillest Jaxilly episode ever. Fortunately for Larry Carlton, the biggest guitar legend you’ve probably never heard of, he had the foresight to name his 1987 album Discovery, thereby guaranteeing that he would FINALLY get the recognition he deserves, when Jaxilly would expose him to a wider audience in 2023. In between these soothing guitar licks and a SHOCKING guest musician appearance, Kev and Jack figure out how to talk about instrumental music, discuss musical snobbishness, and regale the listeners with a series of fascinating Larry Carlton facts. Get ready for some SERIOUS SMOOTH SILLY SHIT.

Jaxilly, and its intrepid PD Crew (and Sean) engage the Quantum Drive to travel to New Horizons, in this, the first Orville Bonus – Orville Redentalkin’: The Orvillesode (An episode about The Orville).  This episode of the podcast is the guys talkin’ the last four(ville) episodes of The Orvile: Season 3, the ones that went on AFTER Strange New Worlds stopped.  Along the way, they’ll talk Star Wars, Trek, obviously, DOMINO HARVEY, and a surprising amount about Ms. Marvel.  I think it’s safe to say these guys like the Orville.  ORVILLE ORVILLE ORVILLE MY NAME IS DOMINO HARVEY I AM A BOUNTY HUNTER

Happy Birthday, Ben(cker).  The annual Curb episode is finally here, in a way that makes it not actually annual, but it still has Lauren! This time around, they’re talking about a prettay prettay good season four episode, Ben’s Birthday Party (which also means being sad about no Leon).  With the surprising return of Michael the blind pianist, they take the opportunity to delve into the life of Helen Keller, revisit peak Stiller-mania, talk tits and scrotes, the appeal of Lwaxana Troi, that weird trilogy of animated Netflix Godzilla movies and so much more.  When someone tells you no gifts, just bring ‘em THIS podcast.

It’s finally here, performing for you.  It’s Jack, Barm, Sean, Kev Young, and the Enterprise and Farragut Crew! Is this just a cheap attempt at piggybacking off the greatness of a TOS episode?  Or is it an using that episode to show us, through a gripping tale of heroism, destiny, and quirks of fate, what kind of a captain and man Pike is?  Only Chingy can tell.  But we can tell you all the latest details to emerge in the Shinzo Abe assassination, that Romulans are demons, and what Sam’s Thoughts are, as well as one of Barm’s most hardcore plugs, and a lot of other stuff.  You’ll be as blown away as a Federation outpost on the border of the neutral zone!
