How did I find the 602 Club? Well, I’m afraid one night I had a few too many fuzzy tauntauns at the Outlander Club and stumbled out onto the street, hoping I could find some nerf burgers at Dex’s. And then I saw it: the 602 Club. I can’t quite tell you how I got there; the gentleman and lovely lady there kept insisting I was no longer on Coruscant. But no matter! What I found in that quaint little club on a place called “Earth” was far better than any nerf burger. I’d even go as far as to say that this show they put out—this thing they call a “podcast”—is like a nerf burger for the soul.

P.S. Please don’t tell Dex I said your podcast is better than a nerf burger. He’s terribly sensitive about his burgers.

230: The Postgame Analysis

The Rocketeer. In 1982 a comic mini series came out that harkened back to the serial adventures from the 1930's. Dave Steven's Rocketeer became a classic for comic enthusiasts, with it's fast pace, noir feel, lush artwork, and more adult themes. Then the Walt Disney company did what it does best, it took a property and remade it in their own image. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Darren Moser and Norman Lao to talk about The Rocketeer. We discuss the comic and whether the movie is an improvement, our first experiences with the film, Joe Johnson learning from the masters on how to direct a homage to the serial, the story, the cast, the music and whether or not it still holds up.    Host Matthew Rushing   Guests Darren Moser Norman Lao   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Norman C.
