May the Fourth be with you! In this episode the guys head into their first anthology with Solo - A Star Wars Story. Released in 2018 on the heels of The Last Jedi, Solo suffered at the box office, but not because of the efforts of our hosts, J.T. and Shane who did their part to patronize the movie... multiple times! In this episode the guys talk form and function, rusty train cars, and throw away lines of dialog that change the course of history as they make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs (rounded down). So, don't be a moof milker and join them in that galaxy far, far away on this happiest of Star Wars days.
