Expounded Universe 129 – The Arc of Imprisonment
And just like that, we’re done. But dang what a way to go. This is exciting in a way these Star Wars books rarely seem to want to shoot for, […]
Movie Mastery – Cool as Ice (1991)
Like most other movies starring a celebrity that isn’t an actor, this is mostly just a vanity project that has no redeeming aspects. Plus, as a romantic(?) comedy(?), the main […]
Expounded Universe 128 – He’s Dead I Rekkon

Movie Mastery – Bee Movie (2007) But This Time it’s an Actual Review and Not an April Fool’s Joke

Expounded Universe 124 – More of a Crucible
As is tradition, we wrap up. We discuss what we liked and didn’t like, if we’d recommend the book in general, and so on. Eventually when we run out of […]
Expounded Universe 123 – Hot Golden Showers… of Force
Okay, let’s bring her home. The entire EU that is, because this is the end. The last of it. Will Luke, Leia and Han die in the monolith? Do the […]

Since we were supposed to go see a superhero movie in the theaters this week but couldn’t because of global pandemic, we decided to finally sit down and watch Reb […]
Expounded Universe 122 – Powerbodies by Jake
As boilerplate as the Qrephs have turned out to be, Vestara Khai is a straight up delight. She’s very genre savvy and knows to be completely terrified of Luke and […]

Expounded Universe 119 – To The Pain
Well, this certainly got way bigger after the last episode? Remember how last time it was Han playing cards with the Qrephs? Well now there’s more people at the table! […]
In Theaters Now – Sonic the Hedgehog
After a much-hated initial design, Sonic is back with a less horror inducing look and a strange obsession with preaching the inherent superiority of “small town ideals”. Also, I guess […]
Expounded Universe 118 – Pinnace Envy
A classic tradition of Star Wars EU books return, as Benny Skywalker spends a whole-ass chapter talkin to Lando about a big D8 they found a picture of. Meanwhile, Luke […]
