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. While the boys were on vacation, there was quite a bit of interesting Star Wars news, so they decided to dedicate an entire week of show to rounding it all up so you don't have to search for it!

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.
If VOR had it's way, what sci-fi movies would they want to see done again, and done right? Check us out this week, and stay tuned for this week's Republicomm, where we feature YOUR feedback and opinions!

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!
