A long time ago in theaters far, far away four nerds got swept up by one of the greatest pop culture waves in cinema history. Now, as adults with a lifetime of fandom under their belts they get together to discuss the mythology, characters and business of creating STAR WARS! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the low road to resistance….

Matt, Mark & Beth chat to guests about how encountering the love of Jesus has radically changed their lives. They discuss the idea that no matter how dark and self destructive our lives can become, there is a road to redemption. We talk to people who, often at their lowest point, have encounters with a living, loving God. These are stories of miraculous restoration of normal people back onto the path of where God always intended them to be. Welcome to the Loom Rooms Podcast!

This week we wrap up our Star Wars Spooktacular by discussing the British horror comedy series Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace! This one has an interesting Star Wars connection that might not be obvious. If you like slow-motion running, possession, eyechildren, poor acting, bad editing, and hilarity you’ll need to tune in for this one! Turn up your head…

Whoever said War is Hell, likely never tried doing a weekly Star Wars podcast. They might change their tune a little. Either way, this week we explore war and hell as we discuss the 2002 film, Deathwatch. This one has a more modern Star Wars connection, but that doesn’t detract from the insanity of the performance or the quality of the film! You mi…

On the next installment of the Star Wars Spooktacular aka Star Wars Spooky Dookie we will head back to the year it all began, 1977. No this isn’t to talk about Star Wars, but instead we will discuss another well known franchise as we tackle The Exorcist II: The Heretic. There is a Star Wars connection and if you’ve seen the film it will be pretty o…

When is a Star Wars Podcast not a Star Wars Podcast? You’re about to find out! This week kicks off our Star Wars Spooktacular October. We take turns picking a Star Wars adjacent horror film and first up is Rocky’s choice. He picks a film with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, what could possibly go wrong? It might be more appropriate to ask, what …

This week we kick off our 2024 Star Wars Spooktacular month by discussing our format for October and announcing the first Star Wars adjacent film for discussion on next week’s show! Yes Star Wars has been host to many horror legends so this shouldn’t be too difficult, however you may be surprised by the first pick. Listen to this episode… if you da…

The year is 2015 and the spectacle known as Star Wars has returned. There are sold out theaters and lines out the door. There is nostalgia and legacy characters we know and love. There are also cool, new characters. And the story… oh the story… well it was ok but we intend to improve upon it with the final act in our Project Retcon series. This wee…

How does one improve a masterpiece? It's actually quite challenging. We attempt to do just that as we continue Project Retcon, this time examining the OG Trilogy and trying to come up with ways to make it even better. While there may not be quite the sweeping changes as in last week's episode, we still manage to come up with some decent ideas that …

You wanted the Star Wars, you get the Star Wars! This week we kick off our new segment, Project Retcon. For our maiden voyage we start all the way at the beginning… well the beginning of the story. We each pitch an idea that would improve the prequel trilogy. Somehow this all flows incredibly well together and we manage to stay on topic for almost …

We admit, we got a little carried away with the Free Form shows, so this week we have another one! However we do shape a rough format for the rest of the year so at least we have that going for us. Contained within these 100 minutes you will find some good ideas, some bad ideas, some funny ideas, some terrible ideas, and testicular abrasions? Don’t…

This week we decided to switch things up by having only two of us host the show without a clear topic in mind. Oh wait, this feels familiar. I think we’ve done this before. Oh well, here is two hours of your life you will never get back. Do we talk about Star Wars? Sure, there is some talk about our favorite tertiary characters and a whole lot of n…
  continue reading
 
Just what you wanted, another Free Form Force Insensitive episode. Only this time it is half as good! Well that is if you like all four hosts of the show, but perhaps for some it's twice as good. Try to figure out that math, genius. We mostly focus on the unfortunate news about the cancellation of Season Two of The Acolyte, but we manage to get int…
  continue reading
 
It is another edition of Free Form Force Insensitive! This week we talk about the Skeleton Crew trailer as well as the new Andor and Mandalorian and Grogu footage from D23. We also find a Star Wars galactic map that we have fun exploring and we get some great episode format suggestions from listeners! All that plus an appearance by Big Bossk Man at…

Never has an episode title explained so little and so much all at the same time. This week we have a freeform discussion show that ebbs and flows from Star Wars to all manner of inane BS. There are lots of serious questions with not-so-serious answers and vice versa, but ultimately we end up finding some modicum of insight and fun. Before listening…

Everyone loves a good fight right? Whether it’s with your enemy, your friend, or even with your family. Star Wars has a history of some phenomenal fight scenes and we will attempt to compile the best ones throughout the history of the franchise. Come on a journey with us to the bowels of Bespin, make sure to bring a weapon because you never know wh…

It is time to put The Acolyte to bed as we wrap it up with an improper wrap up show! We attempt to talk about the season in totality, the things we liked, even some things we didn’t. We have predictions for a potential season 2 and much, much more. Be careful in the time between when the scary Wookiee hunts at night and when the Sol Man makes the b…

Another season of live action Star Wars has gone as quickly as it arrived. This week we discuss the finale of The Acolyte with S1.E8: The Acolyte. We get some resolutions, new questions, and some surprising cameos! Did this series stick the landing or did it end up in a steaming pile of bantha poodoo? Getting answers from us can be akin to bleeding…
  continue reading
 
We are hurtling through this season like debris from the great hyperspace disaster destroying a planet. In the penultimate episode S1.E7: Choice we get to see things from a different point of view. While many questions are answered, there are still plenty of mysteries left to reveal. We finally get to see Kelnacca in action, but we also get some mu…
  continue reading
 
Woah, did Star Wars just get its hotness back? On S1.E6: Teach/Corrupt there is much to discuss. We do our best to stay on topic but it is incredibly hard to do so when you can cut the tension with a throbbing saber. We dominate the easter eggs and tie up lore bits back to legends continuity to try and connect all the dots. Take a deep dive with us…
  continue reading
 
Well well well what do we have here? In The Acolyte S1.E5: Night we get about 30 minutes of non-stop hot Jedi/Sith action! There are force pulls, Jedi Kabobs, a big reveal, a high body count, and a Parent Trap situation! This one had it all! We break down the episode to discuss all the little details and some deep lore references. Before listening …
  continue reading
 
The mystery continues as we delve deeper into The Acolyte and discuss S1.E4: Day. We talk more about toxic fandom and the reasons why it exists, before diving deep into some of our theories about who the Sith master is - one of the guesses might surprise you. This week we are also graced with the presence of the absolute worst Jedi in the history o…
  continue reading
 
Another Acolyte episode is delivered to us on a boat that has navigated the murky, tumultuous sea of “fan” boy tears. This week we discuss The Acolyte S1.E3: Destiny. Yes it was divisive if you care about the opinions of some, but we manage to find a lot of good things to talk about, debate, and theorize. Meet us down at the Bunta Tree so we can al…

The more things stay the same, the more they change! We’re back with a fresh coat of paint for Season Five and we have a brand new live action Star Wars show to discuss on our season premiere episode! We will breakdown and dissect the first two episode of The Acolyte with S1.E1: Lost/Found and S1E2: Revenge/Justice. We will also talk about the show…

For our final episode of the neverending fourth season we preview the upcoming High Republic era live action show, The Acolyte! We’re excited for the first ever non-Skywalker live action series. This show will make or break the direction Star Wars takes in the future but we’re excited for the direction it appears to be heading in. We will discuss o…

This week brings an end to Tales of the Empire and Barriss Offee’s story. We discuss the final two episodes and the entire season as a whole, and offer up our thoughts on which Tales of show we liked better. But that’s not all. If you tune in now you’ll find out just what kind of alien has grey pubes on green skin, why you shouldn’t shame the shama…
  continue reading
 
Our coverage of Tales of the Empire continues on as we discuss episodes 3 and 4. In hindsight we probably shouldn’t have done the final Morgan Elsbeth and the first Barriss Offee episodes together, but what’s done is done. And what was discussed was discussed. There is blowing bubbles with jesus juice, psychedelic smears, and flaccid droopy side ho…

This year May the 4th brought us a new series that we begin discussing as we get prepared for our next live action series, The Acolyte. This week we talk about the first two episodes of Tales of the Empire which focus on Morgan Elsbeth’s origin with the Empire and more importantly Thrawn. Although, this episode felt like it was missing a little som…

This week's episode is bittersweet because The Bad Batch has come to an end. While this season was the strongest of the three we still feel there was a lot left on the table. Ultimately was this a fitting ending to the season and to the series as a whole? We discuss that very topic, as well as theorize about what may become of an older Omega joinin…
  continue reading
 
This week we discuss the penultimate episode of The Bad Batch with S3E14: Flash Strike. As we talk about it, we can’t help but wonder how they can possibly wrap this entire series up in just one more episode. We also hear a story we wish we hadn’t - let’s just call it the yambag massacre for lack of a better term. Just remember Omega and the Kids d…

Sometimes a change of scenery can do a lot of good. In our case, recording during the day made for a significant increase in the intelligence of the content of the show. Well, until it didn’t. You’ll have to tune in and listen to the comings and goings of the hosts to find out what we mean. We do manage some decent discourse this week as we inch cl…
  continue reading
 
This week we present a cornucopia of chaos and craziness. We begin by discussing The Bad Batch S3E12: Juggernaut and quickly take a hard right into oncoming traffic while dodging musical derailments, classic X-Men talk, and other random nonsense. You know, just a normal episode you’d come to expect from us. Turn up your headphones, dial back your s…

Soldiers, we’re going back to Tantiss and we’ll be utilizing the unlimited insertion maneuver. We hope you know what to do when the camtono tolls for you. This week we have two episodes to discuss! We talk about S3E10: Identity Crisis and S3E11: Point of No Return as we hurdle towards the climactic finish of The Bad Batch! Turn up your headphones, …

This week’s episode of The Bad Batch wasn’t a Harbinger of doom, but more of a Harbinger of awesomeness. We have the return of Asajj Ventress and we couldn’t be more excited to have her back! We dig deep into her history and highlight all the ways in which she is an incredibly badass character. We also try not to fap shame you when we talk about th…
  continue reading
 
We have much to discuss and don’t have time to clone shame each other this week. We breakdown S3E8: Bad Territory of The Bad Batch. This side questy episode had some good discussion but we were eager to talk about our feelings about The Acolyte trailer, which we spent a good amount of time on. There are vulgarities, absurdities, and even a little t…
  continue reading
 
This week we provide a double dose of discussion of The Bad Batch with two new episodes; S3E6: Infiltration and S3E7: Extraction. Unironically we also provide a double dose of dookie as we have a conversation that is mostly devoid of any entertainment value, comedy, or frankly anything of interest whatsoever. Are you sold yet? Well maybe we’re bein…
  continue reading
 
This week we are once again excited to discuss The Bad Batch as we break down S3E5: The Return. The title got us excited for the return of a beloved character but despite not getting that, we still were treated to another solid episode. We discuss this and other things in great detail. Some of those things might make you wince, they might make you …
  continue reading
 
We are once again excited to talk about The Bad Batch this week, which is why it's surprising that we had so many derailments! We finally get around to discussing our affection for the Crosshair & Omega team-up on S3E4: A Different Approach. We also get back on the chain code gang, pay a visit to ye ol’ pirate Rigging Tony, and find out which one f…
  continue reading
 
The day has finally arrived where we can once again discuss a new Star Wars show. Granted, that show is the Bad Batch which we don’t have a great track record with, but we’re still ecstatic nonetheless. Might the first three episodes of the third and final season surprise us? They just might. Perhaps we have turned over a new leaf as tender Wrecker…

There are moments in an artists’ life despite all the struggles, despite all the time and effort, that they are just proud of the work that they have accomplished. This is not one of those times. Join us as we sorta talk about love in the Star Wars Galaxy in honor of Valentines Day! If this is the final time you hear us (unfortunately, it won’t be)…
  continue reading
 
As a companion piece to last week’s episode about the origin and evolution of The Force we decided to flip the coin over and discuss the evolution of technology in the Star Wars Galaxy. We discuss all the different forms of tech, how Star Wars differs from other Sci-Fi franchises, and of course we learn how to stick your fist in a horn. Hope in you…
  continue reading
 
What exactly is The Force? It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds up the entire galaxy so badly that it needs a Sith laxative. Or something like that. This week we explore the origins and evolution of The Force in Star Wars. We talk about its confusing beginnings and settle on one of the more …
  continue reading
 
Good news is we finally have some new Star Wars on the schedule. Bad news is we have to fill a few more weeks with nonsense until we get there. We kick off this week’s nonsense by breaking down the new Bad Batch Season Three trailer drop. We talk about the plot points, the characters, and the surprises! We also discuss some of the other shows we mi…
  continue reading
 
What happens when all constraints are removed and we can talk about anything we want? Well we talk about Star Wars, of course. That’s not all though, we journey into some odd and interesting territory. Join us for a no holds barred discussion show where we run the gamut from a Star Wars themed donut shop to finding out which host is banned at the V…
  continue reading
 
This initial jaunt into our discussions of films that are tangentially related to Star Wars has brought us to some dark corners of the galaxy and this week is no different. We will discuss R2D2: Beneath the Dome, a mockumentary about everyone’s favorite Astromech droid. We go to some weird places this week as we jump the Air Sharkie to help Third T…
  continue reading
 
This week we go back to the beginning. No, not 1977 but 1936. The dawn of the Sci-Fi serial responsible for inspiring George Lucas to create Star Wars. We will be discussing the first three chapters of the first Flash Gordon serial from 1936! Did watching early cinematic Sci-Fi serials cause us to fill up a pair of Mongo City hot pants, or did we w…
  continue reading
 
Without any new Star Wars we have no choice but to spend an entire episode discussing the Star Wars film that never was. This week we do a deep dive into Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire, the latest offering to the Cult of Snyder. Did Lucasfilm make a mistake by not allowing this into the Star Wars galaxy or did we make a mistake spending ove…
  continue reading
 
We are back! This week we continue the gift giving as Marz selects his present to us in the form of the horror film Skinned Deep for us to discuss. You might ask how in the world does this relate to Star Wars? Well it stars Warwick Davis, that’s how! Oh but not just any old role, Warwick Davis plays the character of Plates, your normal everyday pla…

On November 17th, 1978 there was a great disturbance in the force. This was the day The Star Wars Holiday Special was witnessed by 13 million viewers and would be forever etched upon the subconscious of all that were subject to its torture. It birthed iPads, VR Porn, and started a joke which started the whole world crying… for more horrible interpr…

We’re approaching the gift giving season so there is no better (or worse) time for us to unleash this episode on your unsuspecting ear holes. We bookend our rewatch of the theatrical versions of the original Star Wars trilogy and discuss the finer points and discoveries while revisiting these classics. You may, nay, will find out the answers to que…

Our journey back to where it all began nears its end as we focus our discussion this week on Return of the Jedi. We compare the theatrical cut to the Disney+ digital versions, we talk about deleted scenes, and the sheer brilliance on display with so many aspects of this film. We also have the realization that the first act of this film is nearly pe…

This week we have an in depth discussion about one of the greatest films of all time, The Empire Strikes Back. We compare the theatrical version to the special editions and talk about how bold it was to have this as the sequel to Star Wars. We also dive into all the important topics like; how long did Luke train on Dagobah, when did George know tha…
