Sean Judy joins Robert to talk about "The Last Jedi". Don't think of it as a review and more as a conversation about what we thought of the newest Star Wars film. We covered a lot of topics and dipped into the controversy that is currently dividing Star Wars fans. Spoilers abound. If you don't like hearing criticism and opinions then maybe give thi…

This is our last episode. We talk about Star Wars in this one. I think it was a pretty good episode from a pretty good show, but I'm biased. -R Thanks to everyone who ever listened. --The Bird Boys* *We never really called ourselves 'Bird Boys'

After another break, Jon & Robert return to find Ron Howard taking over the Han Solo movie and Jon wonders if Opie has got the goods. Robert loves "Apollo 13" too much to have perspective. Will a proper trailer or "behind the scenes" sizzle reel drop at D23? Can Lucasfilm loosen the creative reigns with directors or should they even try? "Screaming…

Robert really wishes Rian Johnson would stay off Twitter and Jon has some pitches for standalone Star Wars films. Stick around till the end for another unfounded TLJ theory from…

Early in the 21st Century, the Bird Boys advanced amateur broadcasting in the NEXUS phase - a show virtually identical to 1000 other programs --known as a PODCAST. Special microphones were purchased to record a weekly conversation about Star Wars. This was not just a podcast. It was called Talking Bird: The Special Edtion. Oh, and we reviewed the b…

PRODUCER'S NOTE: This week's episode contains some excessive potty mouth in the early part and is not for sensitive ears. Does the Lucasfilm Story Group know anything about Jazz? Is Star Wars playing it too safe with it's filming locales? Does Jon hear John O'Hurley everywhere? Did the Bird Boys enjoy the return of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Rebel…

No Oscars for "Rogue One". Probably no Oscar for Mark Hamill. Will Episode VIII reshoots give Princess Leia a proper goodbye or cause new problems? Do you want to be in Episode IX? Do 'Space Nazis' need their own book? What does collecting Stormtrooper memorabilia really mean? 'Rogue One' gets a making of book, but is there enough meat on the bone …

2016 has come to a close and we were able to get together one last time this year to release our 70th episode aka the "Rogue One" review show.
