How Star Wars Is It
On each episode of this important and definitive review podcast, Josiah and Mike examine a movie, a book, or literally anything else, and give it a rating--not of how good it is...but of how STAR WARS it is. Tune in every Monday and May the Fourth be with you.
This week, we've got special guest and friend of the show Steven Shinder on the podcast to discuss his favorite band and incredibly influential music group, Yes! Steven gives us possibly our most comprehensive episode to date, and Mike delivers a classic confusing HSWII game. Enjoy!

This movie came out like a month ago, we covered it 2 weeks after it came out, and now the ep is finally out 2 weeks after THAT. So there's spoilers for it, sorry! It's also a very short episode compared to our usual fare because we had technical difficulties. Sorry about that! The patreon is extra long this week, though, so go check that out if you're jonesing for more HSWII content.

This week, we're talking about the lake. You know, the lake! No, not any specific lake, although those all do count in the overall lakeyness of the lake. But yeah, just the lake. Got it?? We also play a continuation of the HSWII RPG inspired by the lake. It's a fun ep. Enjoy!

This episode gets a little silly. We go off the rails PRETTY hard, hence the multiple titles. Technically this ep is about live television, but really it's about how we were on the news a couple of weeks ago and how Josiah has a business idea. And we get another installment of the HSWII RPG!

That's right! It's time for another FOOD. We're filling out the HSWII menu by talking about chicken tenders this week. We even play a BRAND new game inspired by the topic, never before seen on HSWII. And we actually do get into a little Star Wars talk on this one! Enjoy!

Listen! We're obsessed!!! We don't care who knows! We can't stop listening to Chappell Roan, just like everyone else. So we decided to cover her latest album!

Technically this episode is about french fries. Technically. In reality, it's mostly about juggling a million pickles and Homestar Runner fan fiction. Which means it's one of the best episodes yet? We also do a bracket for what the best fries are! It's great. This ep is one for the books. Enjoy!

We somehow have NEVER covered a Beatles album, despite us both being fans, and despite us talking about THIS album many times before, and despite us talking about the Beatles many times before!

We're just a month behind in covering Dune: Part Two, but cut us some slack! We don't do this professionally so everything is a little delayed. We had to see it, schedule a guest, record it, edit it, and then upload it after the other eps that were already scheduled, and that takes some time! But I digress. We have a guest this week! Fellow dunatic Eric Parmer joins us to discus the masterwork that is Dune: Part Two. We also play the IMDB game! It's a great bonus length ep. Enjoy!

It's the end of the month, and you know what that means! Time to jump back into the Fast and Furious franchise! We're covering the third entry in the franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

We for once are following up on a topic we said we should do in a recent episode! The 2003 family classic Holes came up in the "Nothing" episode, and here we are covering it this week!

It's been a long time coming, but we finally did it. Long-time listeners will know that we've only ever lost two episodes of the show due to technical difficulties. Those episodes were on "Circles" and "Our 20's". They were REALLY good episodes and it was such a bummer to lose them. But we figured it's been long enough. We've healed enough, we've grown enough. It's time to revisit circles. Who knows if it lives up to the original, but it's a rip-rollicking good time. Enjoy!

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Well, two things were bound to happen eventually. One, we were bound to talk about a topic for a third time eventually. Some of us thought it would be Moving that would get a round three first, but nope, it was Solo. And two, Michael DeLaney was bound to be on the show for the 10th time eventually. And THIS is that episode folks. This is the inaugural episode marking the HSWII 10 Timers Club. Who could have ever guessed we would make it this far. Anyway, the ep is great and bonus length and we really dig into the State of the Star Wars. We also play a Michael DeLaney classic, Are you for Lando CalREALssian?? Enjoy!

Your two decidedly not Jewish hosts are covering challah this week! But don't worry, we've got a decidedly Jewish guest this week! Friend, and I'll go out on a limb and say fan of the show, Lior Shragg joins us this week to discuss the delicious traditional Jewish staple, challah. As usual when we have guests, Lior keeps us on track and presents some great points for how Star Wars challah really is. And we play TWO games this episode, one of Lior's devising, and one of Mike's classics. It's a great episode. Enjoy!

We were inspired by our recent rock opera coverage to dip our toes back into The Floyd well, to cover their arguably better album, The Dark Side of the Moon. We do a TERRIBLE job comparing it to Star Wars, but a decent job talking about the album in general. And we also play Smash or Pass, which is hilarious to do for an album like this one. Enjoy!

Yup, it's another episode title in quotes, because DO we really talk about exercise at all in this episode?? Yes, we actually do. But it's funny to put it in quotes because it felt like we did a bad job. We also play a Going to the Gym RPG! It's a great time. Enjoy!

It's the 3rd week of Batmonth, and we're continuing our coverage of "firsts", this time with the first of the Nolan trilogy, Batman Begins. We break down the movie and do a decent job of comparing it to Star Wars, and we play a little Rotten Tomatoes game. It's fun! Enjoy!

This madcap and zany comedic take on the Caped Crusader is a welcome breath of fresh air.

We felt we gave rock operas short shrift during the month of June, so we're extending our coverage of rock operas in a continuation of Junesical Theatre month. Welcome to Junesical Theatre July! We're starting off with a concept album/rock opera, The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. And y'all, this album rips and slaps and does everything good.

What's this?? It's the end of the month and we're not doing a Batman movie?? Well, we felt we didn't give rock operas a fair shake, so we're doing an extra one to close out Junesical theatre month. It's Jesus Christ Superstar! And we play a real or fake Bible game. It's a great time, and a bonus length because we were really having fun. Enjoy!

We're kicking off another Junesical Theatre Month by covering the concept of rock operas! It's a little teaser for the rest of the month, as we will be covering rock operas and rock musicals each week this month. We dig into rock operas, rock musicals, the differences and similarities, and for some reason we talk a lot about if there are more stars in the universe or sand grains on the earth. We also talk a lot about our team Anarchy, the improvised rock opera, so go see it and support our improv in Chicago!

The problem with not being able to do this show as our only job is sometimes we record stuff in a timely manner but then release it weeks later just because that's how the release schedule shakes out. So we know this isn't timely anymore, but it was when we recorded it okay?? We're talking about the D&D movie this week! It's a great flick and we have a lot of fun discussing it. Mike also leads Josiah in a game of what he thinks Dungeons & Dragons is and it's a blast.

Somehow we have been doing this podcast for 4 years and haven't covered Star Trek. This week, we remedy that fact with special guest Jessica Landis of the fantastic Chicago genre improv drinking show, Hitch*Cocktails, who are celebrating their 10th anniversary this May.

We thought we'd share this month's bonus episode from Patreon in the main feed, as a little teaser for our loyal listeners. We had a lot of fun with this one, and I think it shows. In this month's bonus episode, we pit a bunch of songs that are marches against each other in a March madness style bracket to find out which is the best march. It's March March Madness! Get it??

In preparation for Hocus Pocus 2, we recorded an episode on Hocus Pocus, and boy are we the wrong people to talk about this movie.

We're really dialing in deep this week as we take a look at ONE song. Just ONE song. And maybe, just maybe, the BEST song?? That's right, it's Love Shack by The B-52's. We do a classic HSWII textual analysis and play Hey Fred Schneider What Are You Doing for like 2 seconds before we realized it wasn't ideal for a recording where there's a delay.

We recorded this after the original Corn Kid video came out but before the Corn Kid song remix thing started taking over the world, so we're releasing this really at the perfect time! Thankfully corn is still in the zeitgeist. Hopefully talking about Veggie Tales is also in the zeitgeist cuz you better believe we do.

We're covering another classic food this week because we ran out of new movies that we had both seen. It is a TEXTBOOK HSWII episode from beginning to end, with just enough diversions from the topic to keep it fun, but not toooo much to make it not make sense.

SPOILER WARNING This episode contains spoilers for the new Doctor Strange movie! Don’t listen if you care about that kind of thing! SPOILER WARNING
A somewhat timely episode?? For once?? We both saw the new Doctor Strange movie and we just had to get together ASAP to record an episode about it. There are of course, plenty of spoilers, but there’s also a lot of good bits, and a fun multiversal Marvel game. This is a good one to jump in on or to recommend to a friend, it’s got everything a classic HSWII episode needs.

I promise this episode was timely when we recorded it, and we know it’s about a month late now, but we’re discussing the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. We both really fell in love with this movie, as you’ll be able to tell from us being unable to stop talking about how good it is instead of how Star Wars it is. Everyone should go see it in theaters if they have the chance, and the less you know about it the better! We also play a nice couple rounds of Chain Reaction. It’s a good time.

We covered the first Scream movie way back early on in the show, so go back into the feed and check that out if you wanna catch up, although we do not stand by whatever rating we gave it then, okay? This week we're covering Scream 2!

It's our sesquicentennial episode! They all said we'd never make it to episode 150 and we proved them wrong! To celebrate, we recorded a big blowout episode about one of our favorite topics, improv, with the boys from Talking Shop, James Dugan and Rob Grabowski, bona fide experts on the subject. As always happens when we have guests, we somehow stay on topic more than usual. Mike also brings the game and tests the rest of our knowledge on whether certain famous Star Wars moments were scripted or improvised. Enjoy this bonus length episode, and join us as we both extol the virtues of and dunk left and right on improv and Star Wars.

We're finishing out our year long quest to re-review every Star Wars movie with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Previously rated the lowest of all Star Wars movies on the HSWII scale, will it stay in that low range or will it climb up into the upper echelon of HSWII ratings?

We're kicking off Matrix month with the sequel to our Matrix episode (which was over two years ago, wow we've been doing this podcast a long time) which is not coincidentally about the sequel to the Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded! I don't know if you've noticed this listeners, but sometimes I aim for confusing verbiage instead of economy of words with these descriptions. It's why I'm not a copywriter. It's the only reason why. This movie is a mess and is VERY Star Wars and it's a fun deep dive into one of Mike's favorite franchises. Plus we play a game about the best movie sequels and I'm not as good at it as I wanted to be!

It's the end of the month and we're back to revisit and possibly rerate our penultimate Star Wars film which we have been coming back to in reverse HSWII order. That sentence meant nothing! It barely meant something to me! We've got the world's foremost Solo expert Michael DeLaney on the show this week, and we get INTO it.

This is sure to be a new HSWII classic because we somehow talk about the topic for about 10 minutes, don't talk about it at all but DO talk about Star wars for 30, and then at the hour mark start talking about the topic and REALLY getting into the weeds trying to define it. This is a good show. And we play Chain Reaction! And it's fun! Seriously, maybe share this one with your friends who you've been trying to get interested in the show, it's got all the makings of a HSWII classic.

Go to patreon.com/howstarwarsisit and subscribe at whatever tier you want! We're covering the latest in the DC cinematic universe, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. And y'all? We liked it! It was a fun flick! And it's a comic book movie so you KNOW Josiah talks way too much in a long-winded meta-commentary about Marvel vs DC and Star Wars and the ouroboros aka the ouro-morose that is blockbuster cinematic universes these days. And Mike brings a game of Real or Fake for lesser known superheroes that of course Josiah knows way too many of!

Hey! We’re millennials! So we can’t help but love Olivia Rodrigo and her debut album Sour. So this week, we’re talking about it! We all know it’s good, but it’s time to finally determine how Star Wars it is. Tune in to hear us talk T-Swift, Carly Rae, Lorde, Jack Antonoff, and geez, maybe we SHOULD just start a pop music podcast. There’s also an absolutely messy and inscrutable Pop Album Pitchfork Rating Bracket Challenge that might not be fun to listen to but dang it proved Josiah’s point pretty well!

We’re talking the latest beloved critical hit of peak tv, Ted Lasso! Technically we’re doing just the first season, as the second season is just coming out. We reveal our true accents, get off topic a bunch, and have a LOT of fun in the etymology corner this episode, especially with the game Mike brings, Football or Football?

We’re getting real macro and conceptual on this episode and discussing the genre itself of science fiction! Is science fiction Star Wars?? The answer…might surprise you. We talk a lot about the recent sci-fi books we’ve enjoyed including Project Hail Mary and The Three Body Problem trilogy, and of course we got off topic and talk about Phineas and Ferb at the end. Plus Josiah brings the game Sci-Fi, SyFy, FiFi, or SciSci.

We're over the halfway point of revisiting and re-rating (if necessary) all the Star Wars movies! This is a fun ep, and I think we actually discover some new stuff and talk about interesting things and don't just repeat everything we said the first time we covered this movie?? Who knew that could happen! Also the Star Wars Minute game makes another appearance with leaner, meaner rules.

We had friend of the show, top patron, and bona fide Hsweetie Colleen Wilkes as a special guest for this week’s episode to discuss the musical Hadestown. Colleen brings the heat with some serious preparation (more than your intrepid hosts normally have) including some great Hadestown ideas cold takes, a possibly new and recurring How Pirates of the Caribbean Is It? segment, and a whole table’s worth of pros and cons! Mike brought back Chain Reaction for the game this week and makes a real Egg Pan of himself.

Content Warning This episode is about NXIVM, the cult, and we discuss some of the awful acts that happened because of it. We don’t get into too much detail, but we do mention sex and sexual coercion, brainwashing, and violence both physical and mental towards mostly women. So if you’re iffy about cults in general, maybe skip this one!* We have a Patreon! Go to patreon.com/howstarwarsisit and subscribe at whatever tier you want! We have special guest Bethany Remely on the show today to talk about the cult made famous by the documentaries The Vow and Seduced: NXIVM. Do we pull off the incredibly tricky task of making an ostensibly comedy podcast episode about a very dark and evil cult? You’ll have to listen to find out! (We do, I’m pretty sure we do). Mike also brings a game that tests Bethany’s and Josiah’s knowledge of fictional cults and their leaders. You can follow Bethany’s ComedySportz escapades at twitch.tv/csznchicago.

We made it through Junemanji without a hitch, and we covered a Star Wars movie so now what?? That's right, it's time to get back to basics. It's time to cover a random topic that we find interesting in the weeks surrounding the time we recorded the episode. So this week it's SKATEBOARDING. Fresh off the heels of Mike getting the Tony Hawk 1+2 remake MONTHS ago and rediscovering his love for boarding in video games and irl, and actually mere weeks before Josiah got the remake for Switch (which he is now obsessed with, he played it while editing this episode), and actually recorded ON National Go Skateboarding Day (but released a few weeks later), we discuss all things skateboarding/mostly talk about Tony Hawk. There's also a game about famous skateboarding characters from media! It's fun!

It’s the end of the month, and you know what that means! It’s time for our ongoing series where we revisit each Star Wars movie in reverse-HSWII-rating order to see if we did right by them the first time around, or if we need to update our scores. This week it’s one of our favorite flicks, The Last Jedi! There’s some goofy energy in this one because we also recorded the entire commentary for the patreon right before this and ran through a rainstorm, so enjoy us slowly losing our minds. And Mike brings back the Star Wars Minute game and Josiah is very good at it or very bad at it with no in between!

Welcome to the Jungle a.k.a week 3 of Junemanji month! This week we're talking about the 2017 reboot/sequel, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. And y'all?? It's like, good?? Like really fun and good actually?? Better than it has any right to be?? This is a fun episode because we finally got to cover a movie that we liked pretty much 100%. And we actually also do the premise of our show pretty well too. And we play a new favorite game where we pitch movies that are Jumanji-style mashup of properties and genres. It's fun!

I'm gonna stop putting these at the top of each description soon because they're in a lot of other episodes and I feel like we've made our platform and politics pretty clear in the actual episodes too. So just a heads up for those of you who read the description! end editor's note
We're in week 2 of Junemanji and we're covering the weird in-between spiritual sequel/technically in the same universe I think movie Zathura! It's weird but also good? And like, maybe better than Jumanji?? Find out in this episode chock full of sci-fi talk and not toooo many tangents. And Mike brings some Zathura trivia for the game!

Welcome, Hsweeties and Listenerds, to the first week of the sure to be fan favorite themed month of…JUNEMANJI. Do we actually care that much about Jumanji? No! Did Mike think of the pun Junemanji and we thought it was funny and thought doing a themed month again would be fun? Yes! Join us as we revisit the 1995 classic Jumanji and discuss what the heck this movie is, why it had such staying power, and if it’s even good or not? Also how Star Wars it is, of course. And Josiah brings a rousing rendition of These Are Riddles, Jumanji style.

It's the end of the month, so it's time to return to our ongoing series of revisiting each Star Wars movie in reverse HSWII rating order. And this week, we're discussing the movie that started it all, both for this podcast and for the Star Wars universe: A New Hope! Do we have anything new to say about this movie? Probably not! But we have a good time, talk about our favorite parts, and play a fun game at the end. You know the show! It's fun!

Disclaimer Josiah here! I lost Mike’s audio track and had to use the zoom as a backup, so forgive any muddy sections when we talked over each other. I did my darnedest to edit around it and make it sound up to our usual standards!*
We’re talking hats this week with hat and Star Wars aficionado Pete the Retailer from the Star Wars Minute podcast. We try to figure out if helmets count as hats, and if not, what other hats are there in Star Wars. We also discuss how to become a “hat guy” and hats as metaphor. And Mike tests Pete’s and Josiah’s Star Wars by the minute acumen with a new game that’s sure to make a return, and hopefully next time Josiah won’t be playing against one of the few experts in the subject on the planet so maybe he can win for once.

This episode is...well it's for dogs, that much you can tell by the title. This is not your typical HSWII fare, but in a way, it might be the most typical HSWII fare there is. It's an episode for dogs. Like, it's directed to dogs and geared for their enjoyment. And in our usual fashion, we didn't do a great job executing the conceit of our podcast, which is normally How Star Wars stuff is, but in this case was making an episode that dogs would enjoy. But hey, maybe you'll enjoy it! If this is your first episode, no it isn't. Go listen to another, more normal episode, please. Also, Josiah brings a game called Fetch Quest that is semi-Star Wars related, so there's that.

We’ve got good friend of the show and new member of the exclusive 3 time guest club Ethan Krupp on the show to discuss Disney Plus’s latest Marvel outing. We talk about the overall quality of the show (even though we say we don’t care about it), what the themes and metaphors even are (there’s a lot of them), and about just how darn handsome Sebastian Stan is (VERY). The Tatooine Moons and Mike Robins also have a rematch in the latest installment of the HSWIIEU’s baseball RPG series, run by Josiah.

It's the end of the month, and you know what that means! We're revisiting the next Star Wars movie on our list, The Empire Strikes Back. We actually manage to cover some new ground on this episode and we don't repeat ourselves toooo much, so that's good. Will Empire keep it's score?? Or will it be moved higher up?? Or lower?? Those are the three options. Mike brings a trivia game this week and we talk Empire deleted scenes!

I don’t know Hsweeties, we’re talking about birds this week, what do you want from us?? This is absolutely our most unhinged episode yet with a million tangents and there’s some nasty stuff about cloacas, but what do you expect?? This is a silly show okay?? It’s also a really funny episode okay?? Mike brings the game, it’s called Duck Duck Goose and it’s fantastic and Mike makes up a new term: the HSWIIEU, which is the How Star Wars Is It? Extended universe. It makes more sense when it is said out loud than when it is written.

This week we’re dipping DEEP into the nostalgia well and covering Homestarrunner.com. If you don’t know what that is, you might not have been a real nerd in middle school! Surprisingly, this episode isn’t ONLY us saying quotes from the various toons, characters, games, downloads, store, and emails, but we do get a bunch of references in, don’t worry.

You may be thinking to yourself, wait, didn't the HSWII boys just post an episode yesterday? You would be correct. But we couldn't let the historic date of April 6, 2021 go by without recognizing that TODAY is THE day that Plucky predicted he and Hampton and Hampton's family would arrive in Happy World Land. Take some time today and meditate on that. And watch Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Vacation. It's the funniest video ever.

We’re talking the classic playground/camp/outside in general game Capture the Flag this week. Why? Well why do we do any of the topics on this show! For fun!

Our first review of The Phantom Menace was our second ever episode! How have we grown? How have we changed? How have we remained the same? Has this movie grown or changed? You'll find that our opinions of it definitely have, and don't worry, there are some fun diversions along the way as well. And we do another From a Certain Point of View for the game!

We're talking Earth Girls Are Easy this week with special guest Marie Maloney, who amazingly had never watched this movie before but still suggested it. It's a bonkers flick, y'all. HIGHLY recommended. We dig into the movie, the absolute eighties-ness of it all, and how absolutely sexually frustrating it is to have so many beautiful hot people in this INCREDIBLY horny movie. Marie and Mike also learn that Geena Davis is a world-class archer, Josiah goes on an extended rant about how the part in Major Payne where he opens the can with his finger and yells is the funniest thing ever. Mike brings an IMDB challenge game, and we maybe get our first ever HSWII tie?? Tune in to find out.

Because we've been doing a lot of movies and shows lately and we wanted to do something fun and light! Join us as we get into the actual history of wings, talk about the emotional connections we have to them and play a truly nasty game that Mike made about the dumb goofy nasty names that those weird hot sauces have that we've talked about before. If you don't like unnecessary bad words and potty humor, probably skip the game this time, just fyi.

SPOILERS This whole episode is chock full of WandaVision spoilers! Do not listen if you care about spoilers! SPOILERS
WandaVision just finished and we have special guest Rob Grabowski joining us on the show today to talk everything WandaVision and to figure out how Star Wars it is. We do a pretty good job of talking about WandaVision, a decent job talking about Star Wars, and a great job somehow talking a lot about Golden Girls, Remy the Ratatouille, and what would happen if Batman was a farmer. Mike brings the game this week, and it's a classic matchup of giving trivia questions to Josiah and Rob about things they know very little about, but that the other person knows a lot about. Did that sentence make sense? Who knows! It's a fun game and a fun episode. Quit asking questions,

Welcome back Hsweeties! Can you believe it's already March? We've got horror movie aficionado and media gadfly Stephen Kropa on the podcast this week to talk about one of his favorite recent movies, Midsommar. We know it's not a traditionally scary time of year, but this also isn't your traditional scary movie! Also, Josiah really didn't like this movie, so Stephen gets to defend it the whole time, and hopefully, we didn't tire him out too much. We also get another installment of Josiah's baseball RPG game, this time set in Midsommar. Or whatever the place in Midsommar is called. Sweden. Somewhere in Sweden.

It’s finally time Hsweeties. We’re starting our series of re-reviewing every Star Wars movie on the last Monday of every month. We’re starting with the highest on the HSWII scale: Return of the Jedi. We actually do a pretty job at not talking about the things we discussed last time! Mike brings some fun Episode 6 trivia, Josiah brings a new read on a pivotal scene (which by the way, went viral on TikTok), and we share our theories on what the stories will be for the future From A Certain Point of View for Return of the Jedi.

Love is in the air Hsweeties, and this week we're discussing Valentine's Day, because we already did birthdays. And as we all know, Valentine's Day is the second most important time in February, aside from our birthdays. This is honestly a textbook HSWII episode. If you have to recommend one to your friends, this is as good a place to start as any. We talk about elementary school Valentine exchanges, the weirdness around saying "I love you" for the first time, and we do a nice tangent on how words are weird and funny at the end! And Josiah brings a combination Ship It/These Are Riddles involving Star Wars Valentine's cards.

SPOILERS We will be discussing details of In & Of Itself on Hulu. It is a magic show kinda, but more importantly, it’s a very moving theatrical experience that is best viewed without any knowledge of what it is beforehand. You have been warned! SPOILERS
Welcome back hsweeties! We are discussing Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself, a stage show that was filmed for Hulu. He’s an illusionist, magician, genius, whatever you want to call him, and the show itself is a life chaining piece of theatre. Mike and his sister and past and no doubt future guest of the show Allie Gospel, saw it live! So we got Allie on the show to talk about it with us! It’s beautiful. And Mike brings the classic game show game Chain Reaction into HSWII canon and Josiah gets destroyed like he always does when he goes one on one against our guests.

We’re covering our SECOND streaming platform here on the show this week because, peek behind the curtain a little bit, we both watch a decent amount of YouTube! And there’s not a lot of holidays or blockbusters or anything coming out so sometimes we just do random stuff ya know? We’re funny and cool and random like that. So anyway, we talk old YouTube, new YouTube, rabbit holes, and Mike brings the game called Recommended Videos/Fans May Also Like. Or something along those lines.

Well, it is! We also couldn't have made it this far without all our wonderful friends and guests we've had on the show, so we got them to do mini-reviews of a topic of their choice as well! Thanks so much to Blaze Burke, Pete Byrne, Caitlyn Cerza, John Patrick Coan, Michael DeLaney, Allie Gospel, Charlie Irving, Ethan Krupp, Amber Linde, Angela Rak, Dave Reddyk, and Heather Scholl for joining in our celebration!

Welcome back Hsweeties to the first episode we actually recorded in the new year. It's about Soul, the new joint from Pixar that is decidedly not a movie for kids! We get real deep in this one and Josiah says "quote unquote" too much and it was so annoying that he edited them out of the show! (Hi, it's me, Josiah. I write the notes. So don't worry, it's me being mean to myself. I don't know why I do them in third person but here we are.) Mike also brings another fantastic edition of the game Dern but this time it's called Soul. Also at one point, we talk about website domain prices for some reason.

We hope everyone is staying safe and sane in these truly unprecedented times in the good old U. S. of A. For our non-U.S. listeners, consider yourselves lucky! Anyway, have some good dumb fun to take your mind off things with this week's episode! It's about the movie Josie and the Pussycats. Our special guest and good pal Dave Reddyk recommended we cover this, so Mike and Josiah watched it for the first time, and by golly, we all just really loved it. It's a long episode because we always go long when we have guests, but it's chock full of great music analysis, gushing over the movie, and of course some off-topic stories. And Mike brings the game, this time called Advertise Me Captain! and if you've seen the movie, you probably have a good idea what it's about.

Happy New Year everyone! We finally left the real dumpster fire year of 2020 behind and we're in the brand spanking new year of 2021. And this week we're reviewing the not really brand spanking but still new season of The Mabdalorian! We discuss all the Disney Investors Day announcements and dig into the future of Star Wars and all things Mabdalorian. And also Josiah debuts a very dumb game. It's great!

Black Lives Matter! Where a mask! Happy holidays, hsweeties! We hope you all are enjoying the festivities for whenever, wherever, and whatever you celebrate! It's our last episode of the year, and our last entry in our ongoing coverage of the Mission Impossible franchise. That's right, it's Mission: Impossible-Fallout, and we've got Mission Impossible expert Michael DeLaney back on the show. We talk Henry Cavill's very expensive mustache, Tom Hanks pee obsession, and our game segment is a discussion on the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special and how it's fun and cute!

We've got another holiday-themed episode for you this week, and this one is EXTRA special because in it we review our first poem! We review the classic poem that you probably think is called "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" but is apparently actually called "A Visit from St. Nicholas"! Who knew?? Not us! We spend a LOT of time in the "Monster Mash" voice and somehow inexplicably start a Clockstoppers fancast in the middle of the show?? And Mike showcases his love for the Rudolph stop motion Christmas special in the game. It's a heartwarming holiday time y'all.

Welcome to our lightly themed holiday content, everyone! Die Hard! Is it a Christmas movie or not?? We don't care! But we do like the movie, and we DO talk about it! Kinda! You know the drill at this point. Also, y'all get to hear Mike sing for real for real in this one thanks to our sure to be hit and sure to be recurring segment, GI Hard, in which we discuss...things related to our gastrointestinal experiences. Don't worry! It's not too gross. But shout out to past guest of the show Ethan Krupp and future guest of the show Dave Reddyk for writing the song that you'll hear Mike sing in this episode, and check out their youtube channel for the full video.

We’re talking Avatar: the Last Airbender this week, and we were simply overjoyed to have Angela Rak on to talk about it! Angela is our first listener turned friend turned guest and teaches an actual real class on Avatar: the Last Airbender, so it was a no brainer to bring her on the show to discuss it. And because we discussed all three seasons at once, and because we always go long when we have a guest, this is a bonus-length episode! Mike also brings the game this week, another edition of Fact Fiction, Fan Fiction, or Fiction Fiction. Oh, and THIS episode is ACTUALLY the last one that we recorded before the election, so we’ll finally stop talking about how we don’t know the results yet.
You can find Angela’s ATLA class and some of the other work she does with Edge of Orion at edgeoforion.com. You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and @HowStarWarsIsIt on all platforms.

It's the end of the penultimate month of the year and so it's time to review the penultimate (at least currently) Mission Impossible movie! Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation, aka MI5. This episode is full of HSWII classics, Josiah getting on his soapbox and somehow mentioning MK Ultra again, Mike knowing fun Tom Cruise facts, and an unnecessarily complicated MI5/Baseball game with a new twist!

First things first, Mike's a little stinker. Let's see if he reads that. On to the episode! This is the last of the episodes we recorded before the dang election, so apologies again if we talk about it as if it hasn't happened yet. We're talking about candy this week! We talk about our candy journeys, libertarians for some reason, and all sortsa fun silly goofy stuff. Mike brings the game this week, a variation on Chili, and Josiah does a bad job at it!

There will be a few more weeks of disclaimers because we once again recorded this episode before the election, but the good news is Trump lost, so our cheerful energy is appropriate.
In continuation of the inoffensive things that pretty much everyone likes category for this month, we're covering Netflix this week! We get into the early days of Netflix when they still sent DVDs, some discussion of peak TV, and Josiah brings up MK Ultra since he is apparently contractually obligated to do so in every conversation he has had since he's learned about it. Also, Josiah brings the game Netflix and Roast Me, which is only funny if you know his family, and we bust out a new HSWII rubric contributed by listener Andrew Kaiser. Thanks, Andrew!

Disclaimer! This episode was recorded well in advance of the election and was edited and uploaded during the week of the election. At the time of me typing this, we do not know who won. So if the energy seems at odds with the current climate, that's why!
Welcome back Hsweeties! We're continuing to bring you good energy this November with more episodes about stuff that's just in general pretty inoffensive and groovy and easy to vibe with. First was traveling, and now it's pizza. We've been wanting to cover pizza pretty much since we started the podcast, and the moment finally seemed right. We go through some pizza journeys, talk about some classic Internet debates, and Mike debuts a game of Book It which gets a very good replacement name in the spirit of Millennium Falcon Pennywise that I won't spoil here.

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! Disclaimer This episode was recorded in September! And all the episodes for November were recorded pre-election week, so if the energy is different, that's why! End disclaimer Well, we made it through the scariest month of the year, and now it's on to lighter, funner topics to take our mind off the spooky supernatural and the legitimately terrifying actual world we live in! And what's more fun and escapist than traveling?? We brought our friend and travel aficionado Heather Scholl on the show to talk all things travel-related! Tune in to hear some of Heather's strangest travel stories, a discussion of which states are which planets in Star Wars, and to hear Heather try so hard to get us on the topic of Star Wars despite the fact that we're the hosts and we should have been the ones doing that.

It is sadly the end of the spookiest month of the year. Not to worry though, our dual obligations of covering scary things during October and also Mission: Impossible movies at the end of the month aligned PERFECTLY with this week's episode: the scariest Mission: Impossible movie to date, Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, aka Mission: Impossible 4. It's scary because "ghost" is in the name! And in our most ambitious crossover to date, we have TWO guests this episode! Returning friends of the show and our friends in real life, Caitlyn Cerza and Ethan Krupp. Also I think Caitlyn and Mike might be more than friends. In this slightly bonus lengthed episode, we discuss all things M:I5, dig deep into the new era of the franchise, and play a completely unhinged sequel to This Is My Baseball RPG called This is My Baseball and Mission: Impossible 4 RPG.
You can find Ethan’s work at reddykandkrup.com. Go check out all his stuff! You can also find Caitlyn on instagram @kiki_cerza. It IS private though, so she WILL have to approve you.

We're halfway through the spookiest month of the year, and we thought we'd lighten things up a little by checking out the sequel to the best movie ever made and the instant HSWII fave, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. So this week, we're discussing the truly bizarre movie, Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island. Why was this movie made! Who can say! It's wild! If you're a Scooby-Doo fan, or a Star Wars fan, or a podcast fan, or a fan of anything, this episode is for you. It's a little bonus length because we recorded only one episode on that night so we reeeeeally explored the space. Oh! And we play Alex-blank-der Blank-ilton again! It's great.

We are in our SECOND week of the spookiest month of the year, so what better topic to cover than the "Monster Mash," the spoooookiest song of all time! We get deep into our childhood joy and trauma surrounding this song, do a classic HSWII Textual Analysis™, and Josiah tests Mike's monster knowledge and fighting accumen in the "Monster Mash" Hack and Slash Bash.

MUAHAHAHAHA. It's spooky season listenerds, so get ready for a full month of s-s-s-s-scary episodes! We're kicking things off this month with an ACTUAL horror movie, even though historically we are little baby fraidy boys! We actually both really liked this movie, which is once again, not really normal for us! So get ready for a LOT of praise for the movie, a decent amount of Star Wars, and for Mike's "game"/sure to be reoccurring segment Scream-ing.

It's the end of the month, and you know what that means! That's right, it's another installment of our ongoing coverage of the Mission Impossible franchise, this time with past and no doubt future guest of the show, Michael DeLaney! DeLaney clears the air about his Ohio heritage and you know we talk that good/nasty Cincinnati chili. We talk about our good friend J.J. Abrams and his effect on the Mission Impossible and Star Wars franchises. Mike also whips up a sequel game to a previous Mission Impossible episode game that I won't say the name of because it's more fun if you hear it in the moment.

This week, we're talking Pokémon Go and a little bit of physics with our special guest, actual doctor, Dr. Michael Silver! He'll probably think it's silly I put the Dr. there, but I think it's cool! Mike Silver is a long time Pokémon Go player, so get ready to hear about all the changes that have been made in the last few years and his actual first hand account of the delightful disaster that was the first Pokémon Go Fest. Since Mike Silver is an actual doctor, Josiah also made him a little Star Wars centric physics quiz to test his knowledge, and Mike Gospel got to do the timer because Josiah forgot to make it interactive for him.
You can find our esteemed guest Mike Silver on Instagram @silver_bulletin. He also performs with Anarchy the Improvised Rock Opera and Comedy Dance Chicago, whose videos you can check out on Youtube.

This week we're covering our first restaurant with special guest, multi-hyphenate, and dare I say, friend, Amber Linde! We talk a little bit about McDonald's history, a LOT of bit about the McDonald's feel, and we get a little deep here and there about fandom culture and body positivity! It's a whirlwind of an episode. Mike also debuts a game called Take Out or Fake Out where Amber and Josiah showcase their surprisingly deep knowledge on niche former McDonald's menu offerings.
Follow Amber's thrifting and vintage account on Instagram @thrift_thrift_bish.

We're heading back to more familiar territory this week: the MCU. But not just the MCU, no, this week we're covering the first Marvel movie to go where no Marvel movie dared to go before: the stars. That's right, it's Guardians of the Galaxy this week, a movie that wears its classic sci-fi and 80s influences proudly on its sleeve, so what is there really to discuss? Well apparently a lot, because Josiah talks too much about the comic books and then Mike AND Josiah start calling back every joke from the last 2 months of episodes before unfortunately fixating on the upsetting Pee Cup one from the Baseball episode. Josiah also brings the game this week called Is It Star Wars? Literally? It's different from the normal IISW, you'll see.

It’s the last week of the month and you know what that means! That’s right, it’s the second installment of our ongoing Mission Impossible series coverage. So we’re talking M:i-2 this week, and boy is it a stinker! But we’re not worried about if it’s good or bad, of course, we’re worried about one thing: How Star Wars Is It? So join us as we discuss the John Woo-ness of this movie, get into some really extended metaphors, and for Mike’s instant classic game M:i-2/Am I 2?

We're doing school this week! The concept of school. This episode gets a little heady, so just prepare yourselves, dear Hsweeties. This episode might also win the award for the longest we've ever gone without actually talking about Star Wars! That's right, it's one of those episodes! One of the episodes where it's the second one we've recorded in one night and we're real chatty and a little loopy. So if you like your HSWII light on Star Wars and heavy on childhood stories from Mike and Josiah, then you're in luck! We also talk about Flat Earthers, how school sux, and Mike quizzes Josiah with the game School or Fool, which unfortunately was not Heads-Up 7-Up.

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! Onto the show notes.
The summer is winding down, and it's time to reflect on all the fun things we got to do over summer break. What's that?? You're an adult and you have to work all the time no matter what and summer break isn't a thing for you anymore?? What's that again?? There's a global pandemic so you wouldn't be able to do the fun things you would normally do during summer break even if you could?? Well not to worry, because you can live vicariously through this episode as we figure out how Star Wars the best movie of all time is: Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation which apparently isn't named Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation as we discuss very early on in the show.
Since Mike and Josiah both watched this movie with their respective sisters, we brought back audience favorite and aforementioned sister, Allie Gospel! We discuss all the weird references, the strange occasional horniness, and just how gosh darn funny this movie is (seriously, watch it and tell us if we're right about how hilarious it is or if we're wrong, you can tell us it's just the nostalgia, we need to know). Josiah also gives Mike and Allie a pop quiz on the background gags in the movie, because school is back in session, and I hope it's more fun than that sounded.

This week we’re discussing the noble canine! We dig into our personal pet and dog journeys and discuss how dogs is droids as well as taking a few quick tangents about gorilla’s understanding of mortality, dog and horse books, and Halo LAN parties. Josiah also goes to a future episode and steals one of Mike’s future games so he didn’t have to come up with his own. It’s…an involved bit. It’s just what happens when you have to record a bunch of episodes in advance out of order, okay??

For the past two months, we’ve been donating the show’s ad revenue to charities specifically geared towards black trans women (feel free to check out past show notes for the links). Because we don’t make that much off of ads for the show, we were doing some creative rounding up for the donations. For that reason, we are going to continue donating our time and money individually and not as the show from now on, just because the pennies on the dollar we make from the show didn’t actually contribute that much to the donations. We encourage everyone to continue donating and being active for the black lives in your community and in the country however you can! Black lives STILL matter. And also. Wear a goddamn mask.
Okay, show notes time! How Star Wars is It? is goin’ swimmin’ this week! Come on in, the water’s just fine, especially if you want to hear Mike and Josiah tell childhood stories about swimming, camp, and then somehow get kinda about religion, ya know, like you do, before wrapping it all up with a game of Marco Solo, in which Mike and Josiah firmly establish their anti-colonialist stance while also saying silly names from Star Wars and the real world.

We are starting a new series this week on How Star Wars Is It? Because this year has felt so impossible so far, we decided to call in the Impossible Mission Force. For the next however many months, we will be covering a Mission Impossible movie on the last week of the month, until we run out of Mission Impossible movies. So to start us off, Mission: Impossible! We get into the beginnings of the franchise, discuss how wild it is that it’s still going, and Josiah debuts another round of These Are Riddles: Jeopardy Style, this time with action stars who have verbs for last names.

We’re talking about America’s past time this week, aka baseball! And since we don’t know shit about baseball, we brought in a pinch hitter, as it were, to help us out. Composer, lyricist, musical theatre writer, and all around cool dude Ethan Krupp joins the show to discuss all things baseball. That is, all things baseball that pertain to Star Wars. The boys discuss their personal baseball journeys, the barriers to entry for baseball and Star Wars fandoms, and also how exactly cups work. The baseball cups, not regular ones. They know how those work. Josiah also creates a Baseball RPG that pits Ethan and Mike against one another in a match up for the ages. You can find Ethan’s work at reddykandkrup.com.

Just like last week, we’re going back to our roots, but this time, it’s our roots of just doing random movies we like, and this week it’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! This movie is so good y’all. We talk a LOT about how good this movie is and Josiah talks WAY too much about Spider-Man, because it’s his favorite. Josiah also gives Mike a new round of Real or Fake about which alternate universe Spider-People are real…or fake? Stick around for the end for Josiah’s review of Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark.

Hello again Hsweeties. Junesical Theatre Month is over, there’s still a pandemic, and black lives still matter. We hope you’re all staying safe and being active in your support. We decided to continue our support of black trans lives specifically, so the donation links are still below.

This week we’re going back to our roots of just rating weird shit that we think is funny. No themes, no gimmicks, just back to basics. And this episode’s topic is near and dear to our hearts, as we’re sure it is to all Hsweeties’ hearts: CHILI.
Special thanks to listener Colleen who inspired us to review chili with her excellent breakdown of How Star Wars Skyline Chili is, which we read on the show. We also talk chili cook-offs, the international phonetic alphabet, and Mike introduces Family Food (which may be a Doughboys rip off, and if it is, then get off our dick, doughboys, #goodDB) where Josiah has to guess all the ingredients in a copycat recipe of skyline chili.

Hello again dear Hsweeties, remember two important things before we get on to the show. Black Lives Matter and there is still a pandemic happening! Please keep yourself and others safe by practicing all the social distancing guidelines and wearing a mask. And show your support for the Black Lives Matter by continuing to donate money, time, and whatever resources you can. As we finish out pride month, we are focusing still on black transgender related organizations, so check out the donation links below for the Okra Project and the Black Homeless Transgender Fund here.

It’s time for the finale of June-sical theatre month! The topic we’ve been building towards all month! Hamilton! And we’ve got another guest to help us out! John Patrick Coan of Hey Riddle Riddle, a billion other podcasts, and many improv stages in Chicago. We discuss all things Hamilton, including the wildly important nights in American history that both JPC and Josiah saw the show for the first time, and, in the spirit of JPC’s riddling pedigree, Mike debuts a new edition of These Are Riddles entitled Alex-Blank-er Blank-ilton.
You can find JPC on Twitter @jpsofly and on Instagram and Twitch @sharkbarkman. Go follow him on all those things and check out his main podcast, Hey Riddle Riddle. He’s also been in a billion other things, so just go check out all the stuff he’s done. He’s great. You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and @HowSTarWarsIsIt on all platforms.

Hi Hsweeties, protests are slowing down a bit, but we hope you’re still out there keeping the momentum going and donating your time, money, and energy to the Black Lives Matter movement.

In this week’s episode, we continue our streak of having guests and welcome our collective best friend, SNL alum, and guitar comic Luke Null! We discuss Luke’s past as a community theatre performer in Ohio, his love for Skyline Chili, and how much The Music Man kinda sucks. And Josiah brings the game Real or Fake (which is a new blanket term for this kind of game that I just invented) but this time it’s about musical instruments! And unfortunately, there’s a lot of Jizz talk. You know. Jizz. The Star Wars music genre. Also, apologies for the slight audio echo of our voices occasionally, we had some technical difficulties. We tried to clean it up and make it as listenable as possible!
Luke’s handle is @LukeNull on all the social media sites, so go follow him! You can also check out his musical stand up album Guitar Comic on all streaming platforms.

Hello Hsweeties, we hope you are all staying safe and healthy and still protesting and donating and being active in support of Black Lives Matter wherever you are in the world. Once again, since we record our episodes in advance, we don’t talk about what’s going on right now in the show. We’ll be focusing on black trans centered organizations for the rest of the month, and here are some links to the resources mentioned in the preamble to the show.

Now for the show notes. We are sadly without a guest for the first time in Junesical theatre month, but we have some more fun guests coming up later this month, so get excited about that! We’re covering one of the biggest musicals of all time, Les Mis. We dig into our Les Mis journeys, surprisingly don’t sing THAT much, and Josiah debuts another Choose Your Own Adventure game, this time from Valjean’s perspective.

Hello Hsweeties, we hope you are all staying safe and healthy and contributing however you can to the Black Lives Matter movement all over the country and all over the world. We record our episodes in advance, so once again, we don’t talk about what’s going on right now in the show, because it hadn’t happened yet. But we included a preamble of sorts before the show to encourage you to get involved! Here is a comprehensive link to resources and ways to get involved. And here are two black trans women specific organizations that you should consider donating to as well: The Marsha P Johnson Institute and the TGI Justice Project.
On to the show notes! This is our longest episode yet because we just could not stop talking about High School Musical. We covered the whole series, which is strangely so much and so little all at the same time. We have another special guest this week, Josiah’s partner Charlie Irving! She is a Chicago actor and writer and is an expert in all things High School Musical. We discuss how freaking hot Zac Efron is, the strange high school these kids go to, and obsess over Lucas Grabeel and his portrayal of the best character in the franchise, Ryan Evans. Mike also debuts a Ryan specific game all about hats. It’s a good one.
You can follow our guest, Charlie Irving, on Instagram and TikTok @charliekirving, and her website is charlieirving.com. Go hire her for things!

Hello Hsweeties and listenerds! First things first, we wanna say Black Lives Matter, and we hope everyone is staying safe and healthy in these crazy times. As we mentioned in the message at the beginning of the show, we're donating to the Chicago bail fund to help protesters who have been arrested and to the Minnesota group Take Back the Block which focuses on getting city funding away from police and towards actual community resources. Click those links to donate. Or click here to find the bail fund for your city and here for other groups across the country working to build up black communities and stop police violence. We've never been super shy about our politics on the show, so if this bothers you, send us an email, and maybe we can talk about how this isn't a political issue, this is life and death for black people. Now for the show notes!
It's the first week of June-sical theatre month and we're talking about Rent! The musical, not the concept. Mike and Josiah are musical theatre nerds anyway, but neither of them has a big connection to the show Rent, so we brought in some back-up: Caitlyn Cerza, actor, musical theatre artist, and conveniently, Mike's girlfriend who lives in the same place as him! So no quarantine guidelines were broken! Yay! We were so glad to have Caitlyn back, because she truly does not care about Star Wars, and it helps ground us every time sh's on the show. We dig into our Rent journeys, nerd out about musicals in general, and Josiah debuts a game that Mike and Caitlyn pass with flying colors because they respectively know the songs "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "La Vie Boheme" far too well.
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com. Or hit us up on Instagram and Twitter @howstarwarsisit. You can also follow Mike @MikeGospel and Josiah @TheJosiahMan, and our guest Caitlyn on instagram @kiki_cerza. It IS private though, so she WILL have to approve you.

Hi Hsweeties! We hope you are all staying safe and healthy! A quick disclaimer here in the notes! We mention it at the top, but this episode was recorded a while ago, pre-quarantine and before Covid-19 was spreading widely through the U.S. So don't worry! We're staying safe and following all the social distancing guidelines. Mike had Blaze over many months ago. Okay, now on with the notes!
Alright! We're covering one of the all-time great trilogies and all-time great hero's journeys! The Lord of the Rings! Mike's good friend and old pal Blaze Burke joins us as a more expert voice on LOTR than ours, but mostly as a big fan! Since this was recorded a while ago, we do end up talking about Rise of Skywalker a lot, haha, but we do dig a little into the LOTR movies and lore! Josiah also gives Mike and Blaze a difficult game with no real lame about made-up languages in the Star Wars and LOTR universes. It's fun!

Hello Hsweeties! As always, we hope you're staying safe and staying home in these crazy times! Now on with the show notes!
Oh man, it feels like it's been a while since we've had a real wacky loosey-goosey episode! Well don't worry, dear listenerds, this is definitely one of those episodes! We get into the way different cultures develop language around colors, discuss Chicago's seasons, and talk at length about Tigger. Well, not so much talk about Tigger as sing the Tigger song. You know the one. And if you don't, you will after this episode. Mike also brings back the classic rhyming game Dern but this time it's about spring!

As always, before we get into the description of the show, we here at HSWII hope all of you dear listeners out there are staying safe and healthy at home! Times are weird, but we’ve got some comfort for you in the form of MORE Star Wars content! That’s right! There’s more Star Wars stuff in the world! You didn’t think Star Wars was just the movies did you?? If you did, you should pay more attention to our show! In light of latest and possibly last season of The Clone Wars, out now on Disney+, we’re covering the whole show! Josiah hasn’t seen all of it, so he watched the last arc leading up to the finale. This is one of those episodes where we actually get down into the nitty gritty of talking about Star Wars, but don’t worry, we’ll be back next week with some silly bullshit. Oh, and we also play a game where we break the existing ties on the HSWII scale of the 11 official Star Wars films. It might be controversial!

Happy Star Wars day listeners! Somewhat serendipitously for us, a Star Wars podcast, May the Fourth falls on a Monday this year! Last year we released a super special bonus episode on May the Fourth but this year we don’t have to because it’s on our normal release day! But don’t worry, it’s still a super special episode, it’s just not bonus.
We take a look back at last year’s May the Fourth episode and take stock of the year that has transpired. Did we keep the promises we made then? Did we get better as a podcast? Did we somewhere along the way lose our lust for life, our joie de vivre that makes life worth living? Ronnie the Hutt also makes an appearance, and Mike tests Josiah to see if he can remember what we actually rated all the Star Wars movies.

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these crazy times! And to brighten your day, we present possibly the most maddening topic we’ve had to cover yet. That’s right, hsweeties, life is nothing but a fat rat race, and your favorite hosts here at HSWII are here to guide you through it.
We’re covering the terrible movie Rat Race this week! This movie doesn’t make any sense and we are obsessed with it but in sort of a bad way. Like when you can’t stop looking at a car wreck. It’s just wild. We talk a lot about Mr. Bean though, so that’s fun. And Mike takes Josiah on his very own rat race and it’s very intense.

Hello again Hsweeties! We here at How Star Wars Is It? hope you are safe, happy, and healthy staying home during this global pandemic, which is a crazy thing I never thought I’d have to type in a podcast episode description. If you’re like us, your routine has probably changed, and you might be doing a little more of this episode’s topic than usual.
That’s right, this week we return to the rich vein of huge abstract concepts to determine how Star Wars cooking really is. We get pretty off track at the beginning, so get ready for some RIVETING stories of HILARIOUS high school and college hijinks before we get into the real nitty gritty of what exactly cooking is. Josiah also debuts a new game called Cooking the Books which looks at the top 10 best selling Star Wars books on Amazon, and lemme tell ya, it’s a fun one.

Hello dear hsweeties and listenerds. First things first, we here at How Star Wars Is It? hope you are all doing well, staying home, washing those hands, and just being as safe as you can be! Second things second, we are finally reviewing the last Star Wars movie! Well, the last one that we haven't covered yet. The order in which we covered the Star Wars movies had little rhyme or reason, but suffice it to say, we definitely saved the best for last. We talk a lot about how Episode 6 has all the best and worst qualities that Star Wars has to offer, and Josiah brings a very toyetic game engineered specifically for Mike. We also maybe make the most important discovery that's ever been made on this podcast? Or maybe on any podcast?? Or maybe ever???

We had a whole continuing in the spirit of April Fool's day bit we were gonna do by giving you an Austin Powers episode on the week that the new James Bond movie was going to be released, but you know how it is. Shit's crazy out here. Be safe, stay inside, and listen to this episode of HSWII.
We're covering Austin Powers this week! Josiah had never seen it before this episode, because he was a good christian boy that wasn't allowed to back in the day. Turns out it's funny! Mike and Josiah try to determine the reason behind the lack of spoofs in Hollywood today, do some EXCELLENT Austin Powers impressions, and Mike debuts his most favorite game he's created up to this point.

Welcome to the first episode of our new podcast, How Spaceballs Is It? That's right, Mike and Josiah got tired of the old format, and their new mission in life is to determine just how Spaceballs everything in existence is! Now go listen to the first minute or two of the episode and then come back and finish reading this. Did you listen?? Oh man, we got you good huh! You thought we really started a whole new podcast based on a spoof of sci-fi movies! No! We didn't! It was all an April Fool's joke!!! Oh man, you should see the look on your face right now! Wow wow wow. Okay, so, in the spirit of jokes and japes, this episode is about the Mel Brooks flick Spaceballs. Mike and Josiah also take time this episode to deliver on a promise they made during the April Fool's Day episode in holiday month, and they actually sit down and plot out a modern reinvention of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. It's good stuff. Our remake, not the holiday special. Well, they're both bad, but ours is bad on purpose, so there!

This was gonna be a timely episode with Disney's release of the new live-action Mulan, but the good ol' global pandemic has thrown off everybody's plans, giant movie studios and little baby podcasts alike. And yet WE'RE still releasing this episode! Ball's in your court DISNEY. You COWARDS.
Anyway, we're talking about the original animated Mulan this week! Your beloved hosts hadn't seen this movie in a grip, and y'all?? Mulan rules! It's a ding dang gosh darn good fucking movie! Mike and Josiah talk a LOT about the amazing songs, the many superficial Star Wars similarities, and get a liiiittle deep talking about Mulan's significance as a feminist film and its significance in the LGBTQ+ community. I know right?? It's like, we actually thought about it and analyzed it and everything! And of course Mike introduces a Who's That Quotemon style game called Mushu Mushu Mushu or Marsha Marsha Marsha.

We had the distinct honor and privilege of determining How Star Wars C2E2 is live on the floor at C2E2 itself in the Podcast Central booth, run by the very nice fellas at Chuck Loads of Comics and The Chumpcast. We can't thank them enough for helping us bring our brand of Star Wars fandom to the masses. Also big thanks to Reedpop and C2E2 for making it all possible in the first place!
This episode was super fun to record as we were basically watching hundreds of people walk past us in amazing cosplay the entire time. If we sound a little scattered during the live portion of the episode, it's because we were! We somehow were able to rate C2E2 on the HSWII scale despite the distractions, and we had a lot of fun doing trivia and giving away prizes with the folks who stayed to listen the whole time, and the people walking by who occasionally would stop to see what weird thing was happening. We also do one of our classic draft games and a surprise guest drops by (no seriously, it was a surprise to us as well, it was a complete and total happy accident).

Hello Hsweeties and listenerds, welcome to season two of the show! Our seasons are one year long, just like every other reputable show. This is what we planned from the beginning and is definitely not an arbitrary distinction that we decided on a whim.
We're starting out season two with a bang by finally covering The Last Jedi. We've talked about it at length on other episodes, and we are at last actually sitting down and discussing Episode 8 in its entirety with little to no distractions! We really like this movie, so get ready for some effusive praise and gushing analysis. Gushing analysis was a gross phrase and I promise to never type it again! Mike also brings a new game this week that looks at the audience vs critic score of movies from the biggest franchises in the world.

Waaaaah! Goo goo gah gah! Pbbbblt Those are baby noises! Because How Star Wars Is It? is officially one year old! That’s right, one whole year! That’s young for a human, decently old for a podcast, and like Josiah mentions in this episode, longer than any relationship he’s ever been in!
We’re celebrating by taking a look back wink at some of our favorite clips of the show from the past year. wink wink You may remember some of these classic bits, like wink the time Hayden Christensen subbed in for Mike as co-host or the time the boys sang the intro to the episode!
(I’m sure you’ve figured this out from listening, but this episode was actually us improvising different scenarios we individually came up with and sprang on each other while recording.)
We had a lot of fun recording this celebratory episode, and we hope you had fun listening to it! Thanks for sticking with HSWII for one whole year! We really do love you, and may the fourth truly be with you all!

Here at How Star Wars Is It?, February is a very special month. Both Mike and Josiah’s respective birthdays are in the month of February, less than a week apart! And our podcast will celebrate its first birthday very soon! So to revel in the celebratory spirit, we thought we’d do an episode on birthdays themselves!
That’s right, we’re back with a concept this week at HSWII? Mike and Josiah talk the logistics of a Leap Day birthday, the pros and cons of surprise parties, and Josiah debuts a new somewhat Star Wars related game called BirthYay or BirthNay?

Hello there Hsweeties! Take a trip down memory lane with us, won’t you? Fire up Disney Plus, and remember a simpler time when Disney didn’t have a vice grip on all media yet and made a fun, strangely good movie about a theme park attraction. We’re talking Pirates of the Caribbean today! Specifically, only the first one, The Curse of the Black Pearl, because the rest of them suck increasingly as they go on.
Mike and Josiah reminisce about the millions of times their families watched this movie, quote the movie possibly too many times, and Mike debuts another trivia game that made Josiah feel like a real dum dum.
(Also, quick disclaimer. We talked about Johnny Depp and the allegations against him ever so briefly, but this was recorded before the more recent evidence against Amber Heard was brought to light. We’re not making any value judgments in the end either way, I just wanted to clarify that. Okay, back to jokes!)

Recently, we had noted Sonic expert Pete Byrne as a guest on the show. Conveniently, the new formerly-terrifying-now-much-more-palatable CGI Sonic movie is coming out this week! We thought we'd take advantage of the timing and have Pete back on the show to discuss all things Sonic the Hedgehog. The video games that is. We are not cool Hollywood insiders and don't have access to advance screenings. Although that would be cool! So if anyone knows what a podcast has to do to get that privilege, please let us know.
This episode has everything for new and old Sonic fans alike! We talk Sonic bedsheets, Sonic animated shows, the weird amount of sexy Sonic fan art on the Internet, the amazing music in Sonic, you name it! Josiah brings in an updated version of an old game, newly dubbed Apples and Oranges, comparing the quality of Star Wars movies with the quality of Sonic games. The boys also discover their Sonicsonas, in a horrifying and intriguing segment that you Hsweeties should definitely play along with at home.

Rise and shine you woodchuck chuckers, it's the How Star Wars Is It? Groundhog Day Special! Since we talked about the movie Groundhog Day during holiday month without our resident Groundhog Day expert Michael DeLaney, we figured we'd make it up to him by having him on the show to talk about a different movie entirely!
That's right, we're diving into the niche genre of Groundhog Day inspired time loop movies of which there is no better example than the underrated Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt sci-fi outing, Edge of Tomorrow. Or Live Die Repeat. The name of the movie is wildly inconsistent across all viewing platforms, it's very confusing. Mike shares a new game pinpointing scenes from different time loop movies, we end up talking about Rise of Skywalker again of course, and in an unintentional meta turn, Mike and Josiah manage to echo many of the exact thoughts they shared in the Groundhog Day episode, much to DeLaney's chagrin.

Thanks to listener Siobhan for the suggestion for the topic of this week's episode: the Star Wars Expanded Universe! Slash Star Wars Legends!
We're talking this week about the weird and wacky world of pre-Disney Star Wars. This episode is a little different, as we are talking a little bit about a lot of different Star Wars content that Mike and Josiah are familiar with. Books! Video games! Comics! You name it! We have a little bit of everything in this episode. We would love to dive down deeper into specific EU/Legends books and games and such in the future, but for now, we thought we'd start out by giving y'all a scattershot of our feelings about the expanded universe as a whole. Past and future guest of the show Michael Delaney also drops by for another game of Real or Fake, where Mike and Josiah have to determine if Delaney's plot summaries of crazy stories from the EU are real...or fake?

It is time! We've talked about it long enough, so we're finally getting back to the original trilogy with Empire Strikes Back!
Disclaimer Mike and I recorded this way back in early December, before we saw Rise of Skywalker, and before we recorded most of the more recent episodes. And because we're parodies of ourselves, we actually talk about several things that we talked about in later December and January episode, such as Skyline Chili. So weirdly, we're not repeating ourselves in this episode, we were actually repeating ourselves in the OTHER episodes. Okay, just wanted to let y'all know. Carry on. End disclaimer
Man, it felt good to talk about a real genuine Star Wars movie again back when we recorded this! Before Rise of Skywalker dashed all our hopes and sent us into a long depression that we still haven't come out of. Enjoy Mike and I talking about how Empire is just a real dang good movie, the chronological first time we talked about Skyline Chili, and the Sequel Showdown, a game where Josiah reveals the best sequels ever made (according to Rotten Tomatoes).

Hey Hsweeties! Our guests this week have a hilarious Star Wars related video out now called "Please (Use CGI To Bring My Dead Dad Back To Life) -- A Star Wars Song" on their youtube channel that everyone should go check out right now! Right now! Before you listen to the episode!
We here at How Star Wars Is It? hope that your 2020 is off to a Super start! Let's Smash all the negativity, and come together as Brothers! The previous two sentences contain clues about the subject of this week's episode! Also, the title of the episode contains a clue but the clue is just what the thing is! It's Super Smash Bros! Wow I shouldn't be allowed to write these when I'm tired.
But anyway, we're talking Super Smash Bros, and we brought in some super bros of our own to help us determine how Star Wars the Super Smash Bros series of games really is. Jake Bradley and Pete Byrne make up Two Man Hammer, a sketch comedy group out of Chicago that makes some dadgum hilarious videos. Jake and Pete really elevate the discourse on the show and help Mike and Josiah get down to the nitty-gritty important stuff. Like which Nintendo games have pee in them? How many casino planets are there in Star Wars? How much blue milk is too much blue milk? And Pete and Jake, in classic HSWII tradition, bring a Who's that Quotemon game sure to please everyone: who said it, Jar Jar Binks or Donald Trump?
Two Man Hammer is @twomanhammer on instagram, facebook, and twitter. All their sketches can be found at youtube.com/twomanhammer. Jake can be found on twitter @jokebadly and Pete's handle is @mrpetebyrne. You can also find Pete's other work at petebyrnehere.com. Check out all their stuff, they are hilarious and we were super happy to have them on the show.

Okay, now that that's out of the way, hey Hsweeties! Happy New Year! Welcome to 2020! New year, new Star Wars, same podcast.
We're covering all of season one of The Mandalorian this week, and you know what, we really liked this show! It wasn't perfect or anything but it was super fun and a nice breath of fresh air for the Star Wars universe. We cover all things Mando, we talk about everyone's favorite little guy Baby Yoda, and we start off the new year strong with a brand spanking new game of These Are Riddles, Baby Yoda edition.

Hello Hsweeties! Welcome back from vacation! Load up those podcasts and get ready for the workweek before New Year’s Eve awkwardly interrupts and gives everyone a big hangover. Speaking of New Year’s Eve, we’re finishing out holiday month and 2019 in classic HSWII fashion: by doing an episode that is based on a joke that Mike and I made in a previous episode that will hopefully still be funny.
That’s right, for the spooky-themed month of October, we skipped out on the movie Halloween from 1978 by John Carpenter. But to close our holiday month, we figured we’d bring it full circle and give the people what they’ve been asking for. More John Carpenter, more Mike Myers (both of them), and more of Mike’s killer impressions.
We here at HSWII hope everyone had a great holiday season and that the good times continue into the New Year! This episode is a nice joyous break from the depression of last week’s Rise of Skywalker ep, so enjoy!

SPOILERS
This episode has spoilers. Obviously. The description might have some light spoilers depending on your definition of the word.
SPOILERS
Happy holidays Hsweeties! To celebrate, we recorded you a big ol’ bonus sized episode of How Star Wars Is It? Wow! It’s exactly what you wanted I bet! Do you know what wasn’t what WE wanted? Basically everything in The Rise of Skywalker! That’s right, we saw Star Wars: Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker on opening weekend so that we could bring YOU, our dear listenerds, a spoiler-filled episode as quickly as possible so there would be no doubt in anyone’s mind how Star Wars this new Star Wars movie is.
Just a heads up! This episode will have spoilers, obviously, but it might also spoil your mood if you really enjoyed this movie! Not to tip our hand too much, but Mike and I didn't like this movie, and it was hard to talk about it in our normal non-negative way. But! We didn't want to be a downer, so Mike and Caitlyn (whom you might remember from the Shark Tank episode) recorded some moments of positivity that are dispersed throughout the episode. And for our game segment, we do our dang best to find the bits and pieces of this movie that we did genuinely like, and it's mostly Babu Frik. That guy rules.

Holiday month continues, and we're pulling a fast one on you Hsweeties with yet another out of season holiday episode. Do you get the bit yet?? We're doing all the holidays that don't actually happen this time of year! Honestly, this whole month could have been called our April Fool's month with how much we've been swerving on y'all, but as you will find out in this episode, Josiah and Mike hate pranks and by extension have a sizeable disdain for April Fool's Day! There is a lot of important business to cover at the top, including our new position on how we feel about Wendy's, and a lot of discussion about the differences between pranks and just lying and what even makes a good prank anyway. Mike also debuts a new game with the intention of destroying all pranks called Prank, Prank Prank, or Prank Prank Prank? It's very good.

This week on HSWII, we are bringing our rodent-centric holiday episode streak up to 2! What other podcasts can say that?? Probably none of them! Mostly because we're the only podcast so it would be hard for something that doesn't exist to say anything at all! But yes, we are continuing our holiday-themed month, and we discuss everyone's favorite confusing rabbit, the Easter Bunny, as well as a couple of other holiday mascots. Mike and Josiah get very into the ethics and efficacy of Elf on the Shelf, Mike shows Josiah possibly the cutest and saddest picture he's ever seen, and Josiah actually gets to tell Mike some stuff he DIDN'T know about Star Wars in this week's Star Wars Easter Eggs game.

Well Hsweeties, the holiday season is truly upon us! The turkeys have all been ritually sacrificed, and the man with the bag is on his way in less than a month! Also something about all the other holidays that happen in this strange two-month time frame where we as humans apparently decided to put all the holidays. And to get us in the holiday spirit, we're kicking off Holiday Month here at HSWII! And what better way to get us started than the movie about the first and most important holiday of the year: Groundhog Day. Join us as we barely talk about one of the best movies ever made because we apparently have the attention span and memory retention of a goldfish, and as Mike debuts a new game that causes Josiah to question his entire reality!

The holiday season is upon us Hsweeties! It's a straight sprint from Thanksgiving all the way to I don't know, Arbor Day or something. So to give us a little break from recording and to give you a little treat for the start of the holiday season, we decided to release the audio of our live show at Podslam 2019 that we recorded back in September at the iO Theatre in Chicago. Because it was a podcast festival the topic that we rated and reviewed was, what else, podcasts! The audio quality for the live show isn't up to our usual level of quality, but it gets better as it goes on, and it's definitely listenable, but just a heads up! The live show was also just a half-hour slot, so we recorded some extra segments covering Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving-related things. Enjoy the episode, travel safely, and have a great American Thanksgiving or other miscellaneous fall festival wherever you are!

Mike and Josiah continue to follow the strange rabbit trail of doing whatever topics they got excited about a few episodes ago, and hey, this time it's National Treasure! Remember National Treasure?? The pretty fun family-friendly flicks starring the strangely dialed down Nicolas Cage? And Andy Samberg did a funny spoof of him on SNL? Oh man, simpler times, am I right? Anyway, there's no Wendy's news this time, it's all National Treasure all the time. Of course that's not true. You know this. You're a Hsweetie. You know we can't stay on topic even when we try. Josiah does debut a new choose your own adventure game for Mike though, and it's...well it's also not really on topic.

Quick! It's 11/11! Make a wish! Yes, that's right, it's one of the twelve days of the year that the way Americans write the date and the way the rest of the world writes the date match up! And this day is extra special for some reason because 11:11 is the time you make a wish! (Which I'm realizing now I don't know the origin of. I've never thought to look it up. Is it just a cute middle school thing? Who knows. Okay back to third person.)
Anyway, this episode is about Ocean's 11 and NOT wishing. Ocean's 11 is a good movie and we actually talk about it in relation to Star Wars which is wild?? Mike debuts a fantastic new game called Eleven Degrees of SepEleven and Josiah finds his true calling in life. Its really quite something, you just have to listen to it to experience the full grandeur of the game.

Roll back those clocks Hsweeties! Fall back Listenerds! It's only one year 'til we can make the election joke about setting the clock back one hour and not a bunch of decades or whatever! And actually, hopefully you've already done all of those things because daylight saving (or savings) time was a couple of days ago ya goons! Get on it! Don't be like Mike and leave your car clock on the same time year-round and have to do the mental math every time you look at it! You'll learn this and other fun personal and daylight saving(s) related facts on today's episode. We've got wedding stories, time zone stories, we talk about National Treasure! And Mike ruins the game because he read the same Wikipedia article Josiah did. Oh well! It was bound to happen eventually.

It’s finally time for our Halloween episode! And before you get too excited, NO, not the movie Halloween! We’ve made it very clear that we are scaredy cats and weenies! Just the holiday Halloween! Just tricks and treats, nothing actually terrifying here! We get into Mike and Josiah’s experiences with Halloween (long story short, Mike has a lot and Josiah has none), talk a little bit about Star Wars, and Mike debuts another These Are Riddles inspired game which is, you guessed it, based on guessing the pun he’s thinking of! Have you come to expect anything less/more from us?

Well Hsweeties and listenerds, we got too scared and we decided to kick it old school with some Scooby Doo! But we picked the wrong movie, because this one has actual monsters in it! Zoinks! But we also picked the RIGHT movie because it's the best movie we've rated so far. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island is the best movie ever made and no movie should be longer than its run time. And don't worry, we WILL review the sequel Scooby Doo! Return to Zombie Island next year on the same week. Josiah also debuts a new game called Six Degrees of Scooby Doo that is essentially a dressed-up version of These Are Riddles. So y'all have that to look forward to.

We hope all you Hsweeties weren't scared away by last week's first horror-themed episode, because this week we're talking about a REAL horror movie: the 1982 seminal classic John Carpenter's The Thing. And since your hosts are such weenies, we decided to bring in a scary movie pinch hitter for this week's episode! Chicago's own multi-hyphenate comedy man and Jackbox Games's own writer, C.J. Tuor!
We discuss all things The Thing on this episode. Well, some things The Thing. But more importantly, in the spirit of The Thing and of the new Jackbox Party Pack 6, C.J. introduces a hidden identity hidden game that is sure to keep you listenerds on the edge of your seats. That is assuming you listen to your podcasts sitting down all the time. Along the way, Mike does his best to NOT use Star Wars terms and Josiah discovers he's maybe not as afraid of scary movies as he thought he was.
You can catch our pal C.J. performing in a bunch of different places in Chicago including the Annoyance Theatre and at Second City. Don't forget to check out his handiwork on the new Jackbox Party Pack 6 as well from Jackbox Games! You can find all these projects and others at his twitter @Cjtuor.

Well Hsweeties and listenerds, fall is in the air. Feel that crisp chill in the air, get rid of those summer candles, and bust out your medium jacket. But wait...what's that?? Our idyllic fall day is being interrupted by...s-s-s-s-SCARY STUFF.
That's right folks, get comfortable, because we're doing another theme month. But don't get TOO comfortable, because the theme this month is all spooky subjects, all the time. We're kicking this month off with the only scary movie that Mike and Josiah had both seen. Of course it had to be Cabin in the Woods. In what may be our most cohesive episode with the least tangents yet, we talk about everything from Wendy's to tripophobia to the Monster Mash to another sure to be classic installment of These Are Riddles, this time written by Mike himself.

Mike and Josiah came up with a very funny joke about the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends and they decided to do a whole episode based on it. It's very cool and great and original and no one else has ever made the joke. Don't look it up.
Anyway, September is ending, and we're here to wake up Billie Joe Armstrong by figuring out how Star Wars his dang upstart punk band is. We somehow talk more about the song Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard than any actual Green Day song in this episode, but hey, that's HSWII for you. Josiah also debuts a new game called These Are Riddles and it might be his worst yet.

Today is the autumnal equinox, and to celebrate the change of seasons, this week we're reviewing everyone's favorite seasonal beverage, pumpkin spice lattes! Part pumpkin, part spice, ALL latte, the PSL is a mainstay of fall all over the world. Well, maybe not the world, but definitely the U.S. Do they have PSLs in other countries? Do other countries like pumpkin flavored things as much as Americans do? These are the questions I am asking right now and that we do not cover on the podcast. But we do get into our coffee journeys, weird parts of the X-Men universe, and of course, Mike debuts a new trivia game that will surely have you listenerds yelling at your iPods and Zunes while you play along.

Well Hsweeties, Josiah is finally a real Star Wars fan now. He finally saw Solo: A Star Wars Story. And it was fine.
That’s right, we’re back to Star Wars on today’s episode and it is CHOCK full of HSWII goodness. Join us for Mike’s first official on air apology and Josiah’s game So Low which was really just an excuse to talk about Warwick Davis for like 15 minutes.

Programming note! This episode was originally intended to come out the first week of September, but Josiah goofed it up and posted them out of order. Oh well! Welcome back Listenerds! We are finally making good on our promise, nay, our mission, nay OUR PURPOSE to review anything and everything, so we're taking a step away from traditional media and a step towards concepts. This week, we're determining how Star Wars is moving? Like, the idea of moving apartments or houses, etc. We also take a trip to the Wendy's corner and talk about all the new Star Wars news we got at that Disney expo thing, whatever it's called. I refuse to look it up. And we go through our top 3 most moving episodes from Star Wars. Get it? Moving?? If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

Well, Shark Month is officially over and we're back to your regularly scheduled HSWII programming. Or at least, as regular as this show gets. We're looking at yet another Spielberg movie that pioneered new visual effects and launched a blockbuster franchise, Jurassic Park!
This episode gets a little scattershot, which just means we cover a lot of ground! Mike debuts a new game, Dern, and we discover a new segment of the podcast called The Taylor Swift Pinecone sponsored by Rhymezone.com. And we will be reaching out to Rhymezone.com to see if we can actually get that sponsorship, don't worry.

Well Hsweeties and Listenerds, we've come to the end of Shark Month, or Mark, as it were. We know, we know. We're as sad as you are. Which is to say, probably not that sad. But we had some fun along the way! We had some laughs! And there's more laughs and fun to be had! We couldn't fit all the shark-related things in one month, so for this finale episode, we're doing some IISW (is it Star Wars?) assessments on 8 more shark things. Stay tuned to the very end for a sure to be hit game, Marry Shark Marry, and enjoy Josiah getting progressively more upset at Mike for all the dumb shark movies he's now going to have to watch.

Welcome back Hsweeties and Listenerds! We are knee-deep in Shark Month, or Mark, as it were! (Apologies to all actual people named Mark.) We're reviewing the OG shark movie this week! Jaws! Which neither Mike nor Josiah had seen before they watched it for this episode. You might be asking yourself, did these boys live under a rock their whole lives? How have they not seen so many very important and good movies? And you'd be right in asking those questions! But maybe turn those questions back onto yourself for once. An unexamined life is not worth living, after all.
We talk a lot about how good and weird a movie Jaws is in this episode, do a fan cast of a modern remake of Jaws, and Mike brings back an old game, Stranger Things, but in this case, it's called Stranger Things or Jaws, but don't worry, it's still a Star Wars trivia game.

Welcome to week two of Shark Month listenerds! Or as we call it here in the industry, Mark! We can't get enough sharks over here at A Good Podcast Studios. So of course we HAD to do the most important shark movie, arguably and regrettably, of the last decade: Sharknado! Mike and Josiah dig deep into the weird world of The Asylum film studio and emerge stinky and dirty from the filth of the masses. This episode is a little shorter than usual because we lost a bit of audio during recording, but don't worry, you just missed out on a typical blistering hot HSWII take and Josiah complaining about people on the Internet. So pretty par for the course.

(Just a quick heads up, Josiah's audio sounds a little rough for the first 20 minutes of the episode because his computer was being a punk, so we had to use the backup Skype recording. Everything after that is the usual quality though!) Uh-oh, Hsweeties! The summer is coming to a close, and you know what that means! That's right, it's Shark Week! Or rather, it WAS Shark Week. Now it's Shark MONTH. We're kicking off a whole month of shark-themed episodes because it's our podcast, and we do whatever makes us laugh. And speaking of stuff that makes us laugh, we have the amazing and hilarious Chicago actor, artist, and all-around awesome gal Caitlyn Cerza on the podcast today! Mike is also her boyfriend! Nice! Mike and Caitlyn are experts on the tv show that is the most quintessential of all shark media, Shark Tank. We also take a trip to the Wendy's Corner, the Alaska Corner, and even discover a new corner, the Musical Corner! Mike, of course, debuts a new game, and we talk a lot about the Backstreet Boys and Desperate Housewives. If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

(Hey Hsweeties?? It's me, Josiah. The Matrix is a good movie! It's a good dang movie! Dang! If only it wasn't illegal for me to have seen this movie when it came out! If only I wouldn't have gone to jail for seeing it before I was 17! I missed out on liking this movie for so many years! Ugh! Dang!)
Mike is in The One: A Matrix Parody Musical in Chicago at The Den Theatre, and we've been hyping it up for weeks, so we're celebrating the opening of the show by finally reviewing The Matrix! Josiah had never seen it, and he watched it just for this episode! We talked a lot about how The Matrix is a cool and good movie. We dip into some metaphysics so, yeah, we like to party. And Mike finally put on his reporter hat and made his way into the field for some real hard hitting interviews with the cast of The One.

After an exhausting summer of blockbusters, we are finally returning to our core competency. That's right Hsweeties. We're back with a real, genuine Star War!
This episode is a little longer than usual just because we had WAY too much fun talking about the wild and wacky weirdness that is Attack of the Clones. Mike hits us with some fun Star Wars facts and trivia, as always, (my personal favorite was the tidbit about a cameo by a certain ridiculously famous boy band) and Josiah debuts a fun twist on Who's That Quotemon? called Attack of the Whose That Clonemon? A little wordy? No! It's perfect! Back off!

Well. We finally did it. We finally did the dang thing. We've been talking smack about the new "live action" Lion King for TOO long. It was finally time to put up or shut up. And when have you known us to ever shut up?? In this episode, Josiah debuts a sure to be fan favorite new game, Truth or Lion, and there are also some EXTREMELY hot takes in this episode, especially if you're a fan of the new Lion King, Beyonce, or Wolf Creek Lodge, so buyer beware.
Also we recorded this before the new Lion King was released in theaters, and early reviews are proving our suspicions that the movie is bad to be correct. So take that all of our HATERS.

Just now when I was typing this I was like, wait, is Stranger Things a Shakespeare reference from Hamlet?? Turns out no, the quote is "There are more things in heaven and earth..." not stranger things, so we are good folks, we are good. I would have been very ashamed if I didn't realize the title of this show was a Shakespeare reference until JUST now.
Anyway, this episode is about Stranger Things! What a fun show. We don't remember why we like it, but that seems to be a recurring theme with us. About half of this ep is the fun new game that Josiah invented, creatively titled Stranger Things. But it's a fun one, I promise! And don't worry folks, there's no spoilers in this episode. We recorded it before season 3 of Stranger Things dropped. So you are free to listen, unafraid of being spoiled!

Yes, thank you, I think this podcasting parody of the Spider-Man theme song is my best work as well. We're talking about Spider-Man 2 this week in conjunction with the newest second Spider-Man film. Man. It's pretty wild that there are essentially three Spider-Man 2's now. That's two many. Too many. Sorry. Anyway, we get into this really good movie this week and give it an official rating on the HSWII scale. We talk about Jesus, we talk about Templeton the rat from Charlotte's Web, and Mike debuts a great new version of Who's That Quotemon? specifically tailored for all your Spider-Man wants and desires.

Gosh, this episode gets real cute Hsweeties. It just gets real cute. Apparently one of Mike's favorite movies is Toy Story! Isn't that cute?? He can like, quote the whole thing. And he pretty much does. There's a new Toy Story movie coming out, and we get pretty nostalgic about the original Toy Story this episode, and nostalgic about other things, including our childhood toys and using our imaginations! Mike also introduces a new game, but I don't remember if it had a name. I don't think it did. Let's name it right here. We can say something dumb and pretend Mike come up with it and make him look like a real ding dong. How about...No Doy, What's This Toy? Yeah, that's pretty dumb. Wow Mike, come up with better names for things, geez.

We are continuing to ride the sweet wave of summer blockbuster releases as inspiration for episode topics! There's a new Men in Black movie! It looks fun and cool. So we decided to revisit the original Men in Black (which Mike watched for the first time for this episode!) to determine once and for all how Star Wars it is. This episode has everything! A list of all the Will Smith movies! A list of all the Jedi Masters and their Padawans! Of course a new game, called Will Will Smith...? A great pitch for a new Star Wars animated series starring Sith lords as high schoolers! A way to make the periodic table of the elements fun and memorable! I would say it's ground breaking, but I won't, and you'll understand why after you listen to the episode.

Hey there Hsweeties! Another X-Men movie came out this last weekend, and boy howdy, sure sounds like it was a real clunker, huh? A real stinker, wasn't it? A big ol' box office bomb. Well don't worry! We're not talking about that one. We're talking about the ORIGINAL X-Men cinematic stinker! X-Men: The Last Stand, aka X3 gets an official HSWII scale rating this week, but not before we get another Alaska update from Josiah to learn some important moose facts and get a new game from Mike where he shares some of the strangest X-Men storylines to date. All this and more on this week's HSWII!

Don't worry baby kids, no spoilers this week! And since we talked about the sex and violence filled Game of Thrones last week, we thought we'd get a bit more wholesome this week with the educational Christian children's cartoon, Veggie Tales. And we have our second guest! Chicago performer and improviser and all around funny and great gal, Allie Gospel! Also yes, she and Mike are siblings.
So how Star Wars is Veggie Tales? We take a meandering route to the answer, including stops along the way to discuss the comedic genius that is Silly Songs with Larry, to play Mike's sure to be classic game "Poe, Poe, or Po?", and we get a little hung up discussing the female Veggie Tales characters, in particular Esther and her overtly feminine proportions. It's just...it's a lot.

SPOILERS
Hey Hsweeties, we've got spoilers in this episode for Game of Thrones, specifically the finale from last week! So tread carefully!
Welcome to our most requested episode topic! Game of Thrones! Mike has watched every episode. Josiah has watched one episode, more specifically, the finale. So that's probably enough to rate it on the HSWII Scale, right?? We discuss the show as a whole, the finale in particular, and play a fun new game IIGOT (Is It Game of Thrones) where Josiah makes blanket statement assumptions about the show (having only seen the finale) and Mike tells him if he's correct or not. It's a fun time! Also, just a peek behind the curtain, I, Josiah, write these episode descriptions, and I don't remember enough about Game of Thrones to put any more specifics here. So...sorry about that.

Quick heads up, the audio quality on Mike's end is a little funky and not up to our normal standards, however we decided to release it anyway .We think we know why it messed up, so it'll hopefully be fixed in the future. Sorry all! It was our first time recording remotely. Because-
Josiah is in Alaska! What! That's wild. We drop some Alaska facts on you this episode, and dip into some nostalgia with the 1992 animated classic Aladdin. The new live action adaptation is coming out this week, so we figured we'd determine once and for all how Star Wars the original is. We also finally gave a name to our hot takes about CGI, so enjoy a rousing segment of CGWhy? where we discuss the disturbing blue CGI characters that have been on everyone's minds recently: Genie, Sonic, and Watto.

Oh man, oh man. Aprilvengers month is over, we got the SEO for Detective Pikachu. It's time to return to our core competency. Star Wars. And also we have a guest for the first time! What! Cool! We're probably the first podcast to have the idea to have a guest!
We're rating Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith this week. Our guest and prequel expert Michael DeLaney joins us to discuss the incredibly weird logic of the prequels, to give us a fan and friend perspective on our own podcast, and to bring us a new game that we didn't name because naming things is sometimes hard! But it's a good one, trust us.

You know the marketing team here at HSWII is always pushing SEO. So you know we had to do a Pokémon episode to to get that sweet SEO on the new Detective Pikachu movie! Mike and Josiah take a deep dive into their history with Pokémon, uncover some delightful and yet disturbing theories about the Pokémon universe, play a new game called Who's That Quotémon, and finally determine the age old question: How Star Wars Is It?

What?? HSWII dropping in your feed on a Saturday?? That's right Hsweeties, it is May the Fourth! Star Wars Day! So we thought we'd give you a little more of that HSWII flavor you know and love to celebrate the only holiday that is based on a pun from a movie franchise and is also not a real holiday. Mike and Josiah have this episode stuffed to the gills with games, segments, and even some fun characters?? What?? This is unprecedented! Enjoy this diversion from our usual formula, and May the Fourth be with you!

Okay, so there's spoilers for Endgame in this episode Hsweeties! We're finishing off Aprilvengers month with a bang! We saw Avengers: Endgame on opening night and made sure to get a hot and fresh episode out to discuss the REAL question on everyone's mind after seeing the beautiful conclusion to the MCU. How Star Wars Is It?
Mike and Josiah talk a lot about specifics of the movie, especially in the half of the episode after the ad break, so do not listen until you have seen the movie, if you don't want it to be spoiled! You have been warned!

We are, somewhat mercifully for our sanity, coming to the end of Aprilvengers month! In this episode, we ostensibly talk about Infinity War, but really analyze how Star Wars the Marvel Cinematic Universe is as a whole. We also talk about the movie Clue a bunch! And we pull a Nick Fury and draft Star Wars characters into our ideal Avengers team. It's a wild ride y'all.
Just a heads up, we can't stress this enough, next week's episode will be covering Avengers: Endgame. There will be spoilers! Don't listen to that episode until you've seen the movie!

Happy Celebration True Hiswiities! I don't remember how I spelled that last time, so I'm just going to roll with it.
We're coming to you LIVE from Chicago during Star Wars Celebration! To clarify, we were not recording live AT Celebration but we WERE recording live in Chicago. And Mike got to go to Celebration for a few hours and to some cool meet ups! So. Still pretty cool.
We're rounding the corner of Aprilvengers month and discussing Civil War this week. Join us as we gaze into the ouroboros that is Marvel copying Star Wars and then Disney buying everything only for Star Wars to then start copying Marvel. It's maddening. We barely make it through this episode. However, we take some time and lighten the mood with a new sure to be fan favorite game, Civil War or Civil War? and also we recorded a bonus segment about Celebration and our reactions to the Episode IX trailer that dropped! The audio is not great, because it was recorded last minute on our phones, so apologies in advance for that.

That one Jimmy Fallon SNL character voice that Mike does And we're baaack!
Aprilvengers month is going STRONG. We are covering our collective least favorite movie in the Avengers franchise, Age of Ultron. But just because we don't like it, doesn't mean it ain't Star Wars! Please join us as we talk a liiiiittle bit about Age of Ultron and a lot of bit about how tired Age of Ultron makes us. Also stay tuned until the end for our new sexy hit game, Ship It! aka Millennium Falcon Pennywise!

We're finally dipping our toe outside the incredibly comfortable pool of Star Wars movies! But fear not, True Hswiities, we're not going too far! We're staying in the house of mouse and doing a big ol' cannonball into the Marvel cinematic universe! In celebration of Avengers: Endgame coming out at the end of April, we are dubbing this month Aprilvengers Month here at HSWII! We're kicking off week one by examining the 2012 flick The Avengers, the culmination of years and years of teases and crossovers by Marvel Studios, and finally putting to rest the age old question: How Star Wars Is It? But don't worry, we still manage to discuss how much we love parents, Mike's brush with viral Youtube fame, and somewhat inexplicably, Wendy's again. We just love Wendy's I guess.

Yeah, you know what time it is. It's time to talk about how Star Wars Rogue One is and to somehow get lost along the way talking about Adam Sandler's friendships and Christian rock music. What else have you come to expect from How Star Wars Is It?, the ONLY podcast brave enough to examine all of pop culture and evaluate it on the one scale that truly matters. Also shout out to the cool folks we met at C2E2 this past weekend! Especially to those of you who took a card and followed us on social media! Y'all are the MOST Star Wars of them all.

Against all odds, it's time for another episode of How Star Wars Is It? We bring things into the modern era this week and talk about Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens! We actually like the movie, unlike some killjoys. But that's not important. What's important is how STAR WARS it is. What's also important is apparently how movies have too high frame rates these days, how Charmander has to wait FOREVER to learn a good fire move, and how big Chewbacca's penis might be. You know! A classic HSWII episode.

Anyway, we're talking Phantom Menace this week! Remember that one? It wasn't very good! But how Star Wars it is might surprise you...

Hey wow! It's the first episode of How Star Wars Is It?!!! In this inaugural episode, we take a look at the movie that started it all. Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. Come along with us on our winding path as we talk about Joseph Campbell, the new Grinch movie, icebergs, and a whole lot of chili as we determine how Star Wars Star Wars is. Yep, that's right, it's the first episode and we've already become a parody of ourselves.
