The War in Our Stars Ch 6-8: The Cuban Missile Crisis But More in Space

Season 3, Ep. 3

In this three-chapter bumper episode:


Fireeyes trains with the muscular, experienced Vader under Kan's watchful eye. We meet Mace Window and his Earthling boyfriend, Seemore, and missiles are fired just like in the Cuban missile crisis, but more in space. Like, Hab, Jar Jar the Gun, R2, C-Three-Pee and Chewie search for the precious emerald. Leia has a pretty girl lighstaber, of COURSE, inspiring Lucy to describe the lightsaber of her Horse Girl dreams. After sending in the Wookie to scout for danger, Luke, Hands, 32D2 and Leigha battle a singing, muscled space plant, and Luke loses a hand. So! Much! Happens!

  • 2. The War in Our Stars Ch 4-5: That is Storytelling

    50:52
    Zac refuses to watch the Star Wars shows on Disney+, and Lucy is way too nice about this very wrong take!!!!! Lucy makes an impassioned argument about the cyclical nature of storytelling in Star Wars, then we remember that this is a comedy podcast.In the most confusing action scene we've ever come across, Fireeyes and Dart Vadue take over the Enterprise. Fireeyes makes love with a nurse who looks like Travis's friend (eek) while Daddy Vade kills 100 people. Meanwhile, Look, Hand Swolo and the rest of the gang are meeting with the Gunguns on Naboo. Watch out! We meet Jar Jar and The Wife, who makes Hands very uncomfortable, and confront the Gungun Boss.

  • 2. Expanding the My Immortal Universe Miniseries 2: Walk Within the Gruy

    42:43
    We're back (finally) to finish looking at our brilliant listener Jamie's thesis exploring the connections between vampiric folklore and Harry Potter. Zac and Lucy are in more thoughtful and serious moods than usual, and we enjoy delving a little deeper into characterisation and worldbuilding than usual. But we're still Fangfiction, so we still go on plenty of ridiculous tangents. BIG language warning for early in this episode, and Elon Musk fans (are there any of you left?) may want to steer clear altogether.Jamie is on the socials @my_agricultural_romance.
