Morgan and Jeff are celebrating Life Day and the holidays Star Wars style! We kick off the season by listening to the 1980 Star Wars album, Christmas In The Stars (and finally answer the question: what do you buy a Wookiee when he already has a comb?). We also review The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special; does it hold up to the infamous original Holiday Special? Plus, we talk about the latest news, including movie updates for the MCU and DCCU, thoughts on The Mandalorian so far, and who should be the next Bond.

Morgan and Jeff are kicking off the holiday season early with their guide to shopping small. From supporting laid off Disney Cast Members to finding awesome fandom gifts, we share some of our favorite small shops. We also mention some of our favorite charities. In more geek focused topics, we talk about the latest news about Willow, The Last Starfighter, Thor 4, and season 2 of The Mandalorian. Plus, we look at how the COVID pandemic could have a lasting impact on the entertainment industry. Finally, sorry for the delay in releasing this episode. We were preoccupied with much more important things.

Morgan and Jeff “preview” the new Muppets Now series coming to Disney+ July 31st. Although recorded back in early July, this episode was delayed and almost lost due to our move. Still, the Muppets are an important fandom we wanted to cover. However, you should take our comments and criticisms lightly since the season just ended.

Jeff's Zombie cocktail recipe:

Combine equal parts light rum, golden rum, dark rum, over proof rum, pineapple juice, and orange juice in a shaker with ice and stir. Add a half part of grenadine to either a tall glass, a hurricane glass, or a tiki-inspired glass, then fill with crushed ice. Gently strain the cocktail mixture into the glass so it only partially mixes with the grenadine. Top off with two dashes of Angostura Bitters and garnish with either a pineapple wedge, lime wheel, or orange wheel.
