It's our sesquicentennial episode! They all said we'd never make it to episode 150 and we proved them wrong! To celebrate, we recorded a big blowout episode about one of our favorite topics, improv, with the boys from Talking Shop, James Dugan and Rob Grabowski, bona fide experts on the subject. As always happens when we have guests, we somehow stay on topic more than usual. Mike also brings the game and tests the rest of our knowledge on whether certain famous Star Wars moments were scripted or improvised. Enjoy this bonus length episode, and join us as we both extol the virtues of and dunk left and right on improv and Star Wars. Check out Rob and Dugan on their podcast Talking Shop.

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! *SPOILERS* This whole episode is chock full of WandaVision spoilers! Do not listen if you care about spoilers! *SPOILERS* WandaVision just finished and we have special guest Rob Grabowski joining us on the show today to talk everything WandaVision and to figure out how Star Wars it is. We do a pretty good job of talking about WandaVision, a decent job talking about Star Wars, and a great job somehow talking a lot about Golden Girls, Remy the Ratatouille, and what would happen if Batman was a farmer. Mike brings the game this week, and it's a classic matchup of giving trivia questions to Josiah and Rob about things they know very little about, but that the other person knows a lot about. Did that sentence make sense? Who knows! It's a fun game and a fun episode.
