Episode 47 - Andor at the Halfway Point; A New Hope?
The Exhaust Port - a Star Wars Podcast
Todd Canipe and Reid Byers are back with episode 47 of The Exhaust Port Podcast. What's on the agenda, you ask? Andor. As we pass the halfway point of season one, the crew analyzes the show inside-out, from top-to-bottom, and come to the obvious conclusion - this is literally the Star Wars project we've been dreaming of and waiting for from Lucasfilm and Disney Plus a literal 'New Hope' for Star Wars moving forward. What makes this show resonate so much with such a large part of the Star Wars community, and where does Star Wars in general go from here? We try and tackle this and much, much...

Episode 46 - Hello There, We're Rusty..
The Exhaust Port - a Star Wars Podcast
Todd Canipe and Reid Byers are back in the saddle for another round of The Exhaust Port. After a riduclously long break (some of which we get into), we decided to make episode 46 all about everyone's favorite space Jesus and heartthrob - Obi-Wan Kenobi. We cover the series from start-to-finish (a bit clumsily, I'll admit) and decide that while not perfect, we dug it for the most part. This episode also kicks off a bit of a new era for The Exhaust Port. We want to make more content, but decided that keeping things more consice and on topic is the best path forward. We also decided that one...

Come for the amazing Star Wars discussion, stay for Sequoyah's George Lucas impression! That's right, Sequoyah rejoins me for one of the very best episodes of The Exhaust Port Podcast of all time.

Episode 38 - State of the Star Wars Galaxy with Todd & Reid
The Exhaust Port - a Star Wars Podcast
Todd and Reid are back together for the first time in a few months to catch everyone up on their take on what's going on in the Star Wars galaxy! For episode 38 of The Exhaust Port, the duo briefly discusses Solo, a Star Wars Story before diving headfirst into the state and health of our favorite franchise. After taking a look at the possible reasons behind the box office failure of the aforementioned Solo, we look to the future of Star Wars storytelling with The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson's upcoming trilogy of films, the Benioff and Weiss films, the rumored Kenobi and Fett projects, and...
info_outlineOK, the initial dust has settled and everyone has (hopefully) seen Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. So guess what?? It's time for The Exhaust Port Podcast crew to break it down! Todd is joined by Dork Side regulars Katrina, Reid, and Sequoyah to go over every detail of the latest installment of the Star Wars cinematic universe in nauseating detail (but in a good way). What did we like? A lot. What didn't we like? Not much!
Not only does the crew cover what we loved about the film, we also tackle the dissension among certain circles in the Star Wars fanbase, and why TLJ might not have met their expectations... All-in-all it's a super-fun (and long) episode of The Exhaust Port, and we think it's well worth your time. Also be on the lookout in the next week for more hot takes about the film from the other regular contributors to the show that couldn't make this inaugural session!
~Enjoy!
