VOR Reunion pt.1

This is the show nobody thought they'd ever see: THE VOR REUNION!

Back after a year hiatus, with all three original hosts and super host Carl Watkins, VOR gets back to basics. We deep dive into Star Wars past, present, and future, we talk about toys, we shit-talk other podcasts, and we get blue as a kid's face after he was discovered in an abandoned fridge. Mike told me to write that, I swear. BE THERE!

Yeah, so... you may have noticed there's been no show announcements recently. We're so sorry for this hiatus, but it's been a rough month (almost). Tech problems, dead computers, real life interjections into podcast fun...

We're working hard to come back, gang. Thanks for watching and listening.

Terry Gant Has a Rant

This week on VOR, our guest is Mr. Terry Gant, owner of Chicago's Third Coast Comics. Terry loves comics, but has a lot to say about the business, the fans, comics based movies, and stereotypes.

Star Wars News Roundup

VOR returns... or at least Ed and Carl return. Mike had an unfortunate traffic delay returning from a convention in Tampa.

Reboot NEXT: Sci Fi

These days there's so many reboots coming out. Some are of properties that just don't need to come back. Some are car-wrecks on film, as movie companies try to make a buck off of beloved franchises.

Backyard Adventures!

This week Mike, Carl, and Ed think back to childhood days of taking our toys out of the house, turning sticks into guns, and going on journeys with friends into woods, far flung playgrounds, and imaginary planets a long way from Earth.

We talk about our early experiences with Star Wars figures, then the toys we moved on to, and how we role played when no figures or ships were necessary. We also take listener emails and call in Friday's segment from the Republicomm!
