Episode 16 - Sphere of Influence (s3e4)

Prepare yourself, Internet, for...THE HAMMER!! For it has come to pass that, in an otherwise unassuming episode of The Clone Wars (known as Sphere of Influence), George Lucas has, with the help of everyone's favorite Rodian, dropped The Hammer. What exactly is The Hammer, you ask? Listen in and find out. For there is much to discuss, and the guys are fired up.

Yes, it's another tour-on-the-S.S.-Minow-sized episode of The Clone Cast! Though The Hammer looms like a shadow over everything that's said here, that's not all this episode has to offer.

The guys read e-mails (including one from a first time writer). Nic's wife gets sick and Josh tells everyone what a fun podcast they have. They engage in a lengthy discussion about the EU, message boards, and The Hammer. A new person is welcomed to the couch. And eventually they get around to (again with only the Wookieepedia summary and their memories to aid them) talking a little about the actual episode Sphere of Influence, an episode they both enjoyed.

...Are those bells I here?

P.S. - Liz says that if Freddie Prinze Jr. is listening, and the story she tells of how you got your scar on your chin is incorrect, please accept her apologies.

Episode 15 - Supply Lines (s3e3)

Calm down EV101, it's here. Yes folks, after a bit of a delay it's the entirely too long 15th episode of the Clone Cast! In this episode Nic and Josh discuss Supply Lines, an episode which Josh didn't enjoy on first viewing. So significant were his feelings of non-hate-just-non-digging that it threatened to destroy the Clone Cast forever (or at least make this episode unusual). But then Josh watched it again and liked it. And yet the result is a long episode, much like their episode for Senate Murders (an episode neither dug on)...yet with less random.

So listen in as the guys talk balancing Gungans, Trade Federation allegiances, accents, George Lucas' concern for story and plot, and some usual randomness.

Oh, after you listen, please note these few musical corrections, given that Nic and Josh apparently know nothing of pop music:

Beyonce was not in TLC. She was in Destiny's Child
Beyonce didn't sing "Fighter." It was Christina Agulera.
The tune Nic was singing was "I'm a Survivor" which is by Destiny's Child.

P.S. - Tune in next time for.....THE HAMMER!!
