2019 New York Toy Fair, Elks Lodge Toy Fair, Chinese Food Gourmet Fare, King Tips Medium Rare. Two hours of the best Star Wars and non-Star Wars talk you’ll hear this week.
We’re not talking about just 2019 New York Toy Fair this week, we got a whole other Toy Fair to report on that you never heard of! This is a mammajamma of an episode, and we’re buying figures live on air! In between all the action figure news, we need to talk about King Tips, Chinese food, and the best damn macaroni and cheese you’ve never eaten. Plus, West Coast Video Star Wars VHS memories, thoughts on the 40-Year Old Virgin’s life, and the coolest Star Wars character to ever hang out alone in a chair in a tiny closet. Let’s go, Warheads! Put your Welcome Back Kotter novel down! It’s time for Brews and Blasters.

Born from the discussions between two friends at a local pub in the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts, Brews and Blasters is your chance to kick back, relax and then enjoy everything about that galaxy far, far away. Your hosts, Chris Salton (founder, The Collectors Hutt) as well as Joe Tavano (founder and editor in chief, RetroZap) sit down every week to do what would be doing anyway–talk about all things Star Wars, tell some stories, and of course, have a good time. Join Joe and Chris as they share their love for Star Wars, the most obscure Star Wars characters, Boston’s North Shore, 1980s pop culture and delicious food, and occasionally talk to fascinating people–and friends, like an anthropomorphic packet of crystallized lime.
