Episode 180: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Dec 13, 2019

Darth Vader and the evil Empire make life unpleasant for our heroes. Luke loses his hand, Han becomes a wall ornament, and Leia kisses her brother on the mouth. (OK, that's not Vader's fault, but still...)

This week, we talk about the curious biology of mynocks, the intergalactic equivalent of cell phone reception, and how Darth Vader relaxes after a long day. We also debate the pros and cons of giving in to angry fans, then we discuss all the reasons why The Empire Strikes Back stands the Test of Time.
