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.

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!

Mazes and Monsters

Time for another VOR movie commentary, this time starring Academy award Winner TOM HANKS! 1982's Mazes and Monsters was a fictional tale of kids with frigid parents finding their identities through role playing games.
While it doesn't address the concern that players of RPGs were messing with "the powers of SATAN!" M&M does show audiences that nerds can have friends and lovers by just being themselves, and that the hat does not make the man.
