20th Century Pop! is a podcast that tries to understand the present by living in the past. Each week hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s. Its a ruining of their childhood that hopefully explains how they became adults.
With “Rise Of Skywalker” opening tomorrow, Christmas Eve next Tuesday and Life Day now cannon what better time to revisit this episode from the show’s first season. Join Bob and Tim as they try to make this Holiday Special with a little help from guests Alison Novak … ahm … Harvey Korman … and … that … erotic hologram projection Chewie’s dad seemed to enjoy. Its a Force Blast of festivities to the face so sing it: “ Slave 1 rings, are you listening... in a cape, its Calrissian … we’re blind to the sights cause we’re in carbonite, suffering through a Wookie Wonderland.” Its The Star Wars Holiday Special … again!

It was then remastered for today’s repost with AUPHONIC, a web-based post-production service that makes it sound like Bob and Tim are worth listening to.
