Show Notes
- Intro Clip: Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
- As a prospective, this episode contains absolutely no spoilers for The Force Awakens because we haven’t seen it yet and don’t know anything about it — other than a few trailers and an IMDB page.
- Steven is a jerk about Dave’s mouth trumpet.
- For people who don’t call themselves Star Wars Nerds, Dave and Steve sound a lot like Star Wars Nerds.
- There are two sides to the Force: the Good side and the Light side.
- Star Wars = The Beatles
- Dave makes a good point about nostalgia. In response, Steven rambles incoherently.
