"Being sundry explorations, made while afoot and penniless in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. These adventures convey and illustrate the rules of beggary for poets and some others." Published in 1919, this is poet Vachel Lindsay's description of his travels "afoot and penniless" across the southern and eastern United States, staying with strangers, reciting or trading poetry for dinner, and along the way, describing in stories and poetry, ...

Jackson gives Ryan his first glimpse of what is known colloquially as "The Old Republic". These are the origins created by Tom Veitch that will go on to inspire many more stories. Here we analyze the questionably morality of Jedi Master Thon and the teaching methods Jedi Masters seem to enjoy using. Also, will Jackson be able to stop thinking about…

Ryan and Jackson finally reach the end of the pretty much entirely skippable Star Wars video games, and the beginning of non-skippable comic books. Dark Horse takes the reigns with Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's Dark Empire story. Is this a better vision for the post Return of the Jedi Star Wars world than what Zhan had invented? Spoilers... We don't…

Let's go! The birth of the Star Wars EU and the grandfather of it all, Timothy Zahn are the main topics of discussion today. Does hot chocolate break your immersion of the Star Wars universe?

The fellas dive into the world of late 80's Star Wars gaming. This is definitely an era where the table-top has a lot more to offer us than the digital world. Since the fellas are sick of Ewoks, it felt good to get fully away from Ewok content and not talk about them at all. Also remember when Vader turned into a scorpion? Content Covered: - Video …

Finally the end of these droids and Ewoks for now. Testing the limits of Star Wars patience here. I know some people have a fond place in their heart for this Ewoks movie, but spoiler alert... We didn't love it. I'd recommend anyone who hasn't watched this content just listen to us talk about it instead. Content Covered: - TV Movie: Ewoks: The Batt…

Home stretch of Ewok content! We're watching the... barely discussed cartoons from the mid-80's that would be Lucasfilm's first foray into animated television. Both fellas were surprised which cartoon came out on top in their opinion. Have you ever gotten in trouble for playing drop the sack? That was something we could both relate too. Content Cov…

In this week's episode, we review some short but curious cases from around the world. First up from England, two people convinced pub goers to give up their socks for charity. The story is so ridiculous, it leaves Chris speechless. Then we go to India, where a bunch of people faked an entire cricket league, and managed to profit. Music by Roger A M…

Star Wars! Right? Star Wars? With Burl Ives? And goats and chickens? Jackson is realizing this method might be an interesting novelty but not necessarily the best way to make Ryan fall in love with Star Wars. This TV movie is pretty interesting on a historical level if not an entertainment one. But hey, we found it pretty entertaining. IT EATS TICK…

Now that the original trilogy is behind us, where do we go from here? Well the answer is Ewoks for a while. We touch on it here but it's gonna get... to be too much. But hey, there are some awesome behind the scenes things to talk about in this episode. Also Jackson tries hard to remember the name of his elementary school nurse who introduced him t…

Just before the fall of the Soviet Union, a musician and a journalist got together to pull an absurd and confusing prank--convincing people that Vladimir Lenin was a mushroom.

Well, this is it folks. The conclusion of the trilogy. There is no more Star Wars content after this. Y'all know I'm playing there's so much more!

Here's the big one fellas. This is where we decide if Ryan is going to enjoy the Beggar's Canyon Boys experience going forward. Will the amazing direction of Irvin Kirshner and the slower pace to develop characters be enough to engage him, or will he still just be annoyed at Han and Chewie? Let's freakin find out. Or as Yoda would say, "Freakin fin…

Jackson continues to try and convince Ryan that the first Star Wars movie is really good, but Ryan brings some controversial takes about the comic adaptation. How many hugs and kisses did Leia give each character in the first movie? Who's a cooler character, Jaxxon the Green Rabbit, or Amazia, Den-Mother of the Black-Hole Gang? Is Jackson betting t…
