Welcome to another great edition of The Rantcor Pit Live! This time your hosts Cole Houston and Eddie Medina take a look at one of the oddest, most maligned, most misunderstood yet celebrated aspects of Star Wars, The Star Wars Holiday Special!
Originally broadcast on November 17, 1978, the holiday tale of Han Solo trying to sneak Chewbacca home to Kashyyyk to spend Life Day with his family, the production proved such an embarrassment to George Lucas that it would never be seen again on television, nor would it ever be officially released for home video viewing.
Join your hosts and their special guests Christy the Jedi Goddess and Thomas Branch as they relive the combined shameful horror and nostalgic delight that is the Holiday Special!

And then the bubble burst.
Poised on a precipice between extinction and rebirth, the comic industry reeled from the demise of the era of "comic books as an investment". At a point where the general consensus was that comics were a doomed medium, the industry reinvented itself, but not in the "virtual" way that had been the prevailing expectation.
Join Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston as they discuss the innovations and bold new directions that steered comics in the right direction at the point that the end seemed within sight. The 2000's proved a second Renaissance for the industry. With a focus on sophisticated stories, compelling art, and a more mature audience, a new Golden Age began to emerge.
As "Comicades" delves into the last full decade of this arc, there are plenty of amazing stories to discover in this rewarding look back at the recent history of the comic book medium.

The Rantcor Pit is back, if a day late, and your hosts Cole Houston and Eddie Medina are back from a journey across the galaxy! The galaxy of Star Wars collectibles, that is!
When thinking about what constitutes a collectible, a great many things come to mind. With the broad spectrum of Star Wars related merchandise that has been produced over the course of many decades, defining "collectibles" under such a broad umbrella can become impossible. Cole and Eddie have taken it upon themselves to expose you to a variety of collectibles you may never have known existed.
In this first part of a trilogy on collectibles, the amazing diversity of products one can find that are Star Wars related is the subject of discussion. The two episodes that follow in this series will have a little more specific target in mind. So give us a listen, discover an amazing universe of collectible genres, and reflect on what all has been made over these many years. Who knows? You might also be inspired to seek out some of the things discussed for your own collection!
