Episode 188 – A More Civilized Age

What this episode covers

Anne’s off this week recovering Death Star plans, and so Conley Smith and Jimmy Presler sit in with Bill this week to talk about Disneyland and Star Wars – specifically, our experiences with the Disney parks, how Star Wars Land may work (and what may need to be destroyed to make it a reality) and our impending plans to visit the Anaheim park. In The Geek Week News In Review: Spielberg’s rumored attempt to lure Gene Wilder out of retirement, the Resident Evil 2 remake (and our wish for more atmospheric thriller games rather than gory/jump-scare horror games), the Hateful 8 trailer, Target’s removal of gender-specific signage for its toy aisles (and the guy who trolled people freaking out about that decision), Sesame Street’s weird new ‘partnership‘ with HBO, and even more Star Wars/Disney talk as we dish on all the D23 Episode IX/Rogue One/Han Solo news. And here’s the link to Jimmy & Conley’s Star Wars-a-thon Google calendar in case anyone wants to watch along on our chronological rewatch of everything that’s still canon in the Star Wars universe in the lead-up to the release of Episode VII. Intro: Tales of the Jedi – John Williams Break: Pure Imagination – Gene Wilder Outro: When You Wish Upon A Star – Louis Armstrong
