Some Offense Intended

Ever wondered how Boba Fett escaped from the Sarlacc? Join us as we unravel the intricate tapestry of Star Wars, tracing the timeline from five thousand years before A New Hope to the heights of the Han Solo Trilogy. We're also giving you an insider's take on some of our favorite Star Wars books, allowing you to dive headfirst into the galaxy far, far away.
Then, as if traversing galaxies wasn't enough, we zoom back to Earth to dissect the hit TV show, Blue Mountain State. We're talking everything from contract disputes to the challenges faced by actors making the leap from series to silver screen. Our conversation takes us right to the heart of the streaming revolution and the seismic changes it's brought to the entertainment industry.
Last, but certainly not least, prepare to grapple with some pretty heavy stuff. We're discussing career politicians, the teaching of history across the globe, and the ever-evolving control of information. Plus, we're delving into the religious influence of King James and the multi-faceted causes of the Civil War. Sprinkle in some quirky banter about car deliveries, peculiar vehicle modifications, and unexpected discoveries in a Mercedes dealership, and you've got an episode you'll not want to miss. So, sit back, buckle up, and let's get this journey started!
