A movie that tries to be about two bumbling idiot heroes in the vein of Bill & Ted or Dude Where's My Car but has none of the charm, earnestness, or humor that make those work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesΑπό τον Jef Aldrich and Jon Taylor

This time it paid off even, as Spectaculars turned out to be in a form factor neither of us expected bu…

Well well, we're already at a lightsaber fight. And get this, it's like three chapters of action sequence in a row! In a Star Wars novel this is considered something of an anomaly, as the middle of the books is normally utilized largely to introduce the identical cousins of background cantina characters or extending the page count. But not here! He…

Okay, apparently I forgot to post this very important episode for a while and a half, between work trips and some ongoing medical drama, it just slipped my attention. I officially apologize.
