I feel so guilty And you’ll love it too.

In this episode of The Escape Pod we join our favorite heros, Don  “DellaSnooch” Sulski, and Brady “Big” Lovin  as they spend some time discussing what new in the pop culture news of the time, what is coming down the pike in video games, what is swirling around the rumor mill (the hot sheets), and as always they boys talk Starwars.

This week the Escape Pod boys Talk about Guilty Pleasure movies, they each give eachother the elevator pitch for one of their favorite guilty pleasure movies, and as a bonus the Patreon family chips in and tells us some of theirs. So join in the collective embarrassment of the Pod

And then we’ll finish up with our Insightful Picks of the week...

This episode has EVERYTHING! Borat impressions! Ebola! Pizza parties! And as always, a little Star Wars talk for your listening pleasure. 

In Episode 45, hosts Alyce and Laura are recording* a little early (like, 2 days early) because Alyce is SO DEMANDING and doesn’t want to spend her BIRTHDAY editing this dumb show lol. Honestly, can you blame her? Oh yeah, and we’re still not done with Thrawn. 

[Borat voice] VERY NICE! 

• We’re just gonna call it Ebola Holmes. Because 2020. But for real, we actually loved Enola! 
• The Goonies, but make it French? Or not. Actually, please don’t.
• The Mandalorian has a plan! And that’s good news for fans!
• Kiera Knightley has wiped Star Wars from her brain and gives zero f*cks. Honestly, power to her. 
• Caravan of… perfume? 
• More music coming from Solo: A Star Wars Story
• KELLY CLARKSON!
• Are we sure this is Rosario Dawson?
• Friendsgiving? Pizza party at Laura’s house.
• The untitled Cassian Andor series has a new director (for now?). THANKS, COVID.
• Live action Ezra Bridger tease
• All the High Republic updates! Charles Soule talks to The Hollywood Reporter, a preview of Marvel’s Star Wars: The High Republic #1 by Cavan Scott, and step aside Kenobi! Star Wars has a new white Jesus! 
• Listener thoughts on Thrawn Ascendency: Chaos Rising (no spoilers)
• Listener Sarah has a thoughtful rebuttal for Laura’s Rey Kenobi What If scenario
• A fun spin on our trivia segment that you KNOW we didn’t cheat on, because it took our dumb, drunk @sses a solid 5 mintues to figure it out. Trivia courtesy of Eli from Star Wars: In a Galaxy podcast

What do you get when you combine sugar, spice, and everything nice in Star Wars? Pickled Jedi! This is canon, by the way. Jedi in a jar. A forkful of Force, if you will. 

In Episode 43, hosts Alyce & Laura report and react* to the latest in Star Wars news and rumors and, per usual, get distracted in the best of ways. Laura’s brain is deteriorating and Alyce gives an update on the funemployment life. The moral of the story: it’s okay to only be operating at 15% right now. Accept it. Lean into it. Have fun with it.  

• Hoarding rocks and preparing for the second wave
• False lashes and everyone poops
• John Boyega’s interview with British GQ
• Jeff Goldblum coming to Star Wars? How many Jurassic Parks are there?
• Hear us out: petition to bring mechanical bendus to the next Star Wars Celebration. Daisy dukes and cowboy hats required.
• Sure the new Ahsoka legacy lightsabers are cool but did you see the cute ass outfit Ashley Eckstein was wearing in those Insta pics? Love it. Need it. Got it.

First off, on a scale from 1 to 10, how perfect are you at grilling shrimp? 

The answer: nowhere near as perfect as Ewan McGregor in the newest chapter of Alyce’s Obi-Wan Erotica. 

But we digress.

In episode 40, hosts Alyce & Laura kick* their innocent, little podcast out of the house in hopes that it will learn to support itself! It’s a lesson in tough love, friends. But in the meantime, let’s dive into what’s new in a galaxy far, far away!

• Hop on the Caravan of Corrections for a lesson in what The Mandalorian novel will actually be about, courtesy of our buddy Davor
• We have mixed feelings about The Bad Batch series
• Twitter gathers, and now our watch begins. It shall not end until the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ premiers. BEARD WATCH
• A Lando-centric series for Disney+? But... how would that work? To quote L3-37: it works. Rumor courtesy of Kessel Run Transmissions
• Our initial thoughts on the Doctor Aphra audio drama, based solely on this excerpt 
• Alyce recaps the Lucasfilm Publishing Panel from Comic-Con At Home
• A voicemail from Andrew from the Rebel Scum Podcast network with a great prompt about Star Wars books but no burps. SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.
• How many Game of Thrones references can we fit into this description?
• Our favorite Star Wars films: the moment when you just know
• Our friend Solo just caught up with the show and sent us some drop ass droid trivia. See how we did!
