Talking Bird

Just over two weeks away from the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Jon & Robert hit the ground running with a lively discussion of Steven Spielberg throwing his old buddy George Lucas under the bus. Robert confesses his anxiety about the whether or not this movie is going to suck or not. Jon fixates on Adam Driver's acting techniques, his face and his "Kylo Ren" voice. They discuss movie marketing like two dudes from Hollywood. LOTS of soundtrack talk, with emphasis on SCHERZO. This one was extra fun to be a part of. If you don't want to listen to fun...well...that's on you. Let us know you exist email talklingbirdcast@gmail.com tweets www.twitter.com/talkingbirdcast Thanks for listening

Your favorite Star Wars podcast starts its 27th Episode by not talking about Star Wars. Who is the host of this show? Who is the co-host? Who's coming along for the MST3K BarBeQuay? Are we being realistic trying to avoid spoilers? Lawrence Kasdan's days on Star Wars are numbered Jon reviews, "Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company". Robert rambles.  

Hey JJ, I thought you said you were done with trailers. Then you drop a whole new international one. Stuff discussed. Who is Maz Kanata? What constitutes a 'delightful' story? Is Chewbacca done for? Does Colin Trevorow write? and much, much more. We discuss Marvel's Star Wars #11 in-depth and Jon reviews the short stories "Bottleneck" and "Mercy" mission.

Episode 25? Who asked for all this Star Wars talk? Jon says we are the "punk" Star Wars podcast and who am I to disagree. I am literally putting a safety pin in my cheek as I write this. Questions raised: Is "The Force Awakens" on our literal 'bucket list'? Where are all these inquisitors coming from? Is "Rebels" pulling a "Sliders"? We talk a lot about Star Wars: Rebels "Always Two There Are". We close the show by playing "What if Carrie Fisher wrote the opening crawl to 'The Force Awakens'?" Thanks for listening.
