Brews and Blasters 211: Meet the Mini Rigs!

by Brews and Blasters

Chris and Joe are out this week and in their place are MTV-7 and CAP-2 Captivator—otherwise known as the Corellian hip-hop supergroup The Mini Rigs. From Zorri Bliss to the Knights of Ren to the instantly prophetic shot of Luke and Artoo, we have thoughts on the Vanity Fair article you’re not going to hear anywhere else!

Joe never gets the numbers right but we assure you this is episode 211, and in this one, Chris and Joe come up with their hip-hop alter egos—the Mini Rigs, DJs CAP-2 Captivator and MTV-7, and less importantly, get into the Vanity Fair Star Wars revelations. Plus, a new entry from the Star Wars Alien Archive, updates on the Oppo Awards, and a vintage Kenner NeedEm GotEm. Get on your orbacks, people! The Star Wars party starts NOW! 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.
