With only days away from The Force Awakens, Chris and Joe are excited, and it shows. We talk about our spoiler fears, our mental state after waiting 3 years, 10 years, or 32 years (depending on the point of view).
Listen in for some exciting news–we have some new friends joining RetroZap! Sarah and Richard Woloski will be joining the team to write about some amazing topics, but what’s even more exciting is that their shows–Skywalking Through Neverland and Talking Apes TV–will be joining the network, to complement Brews and Blasters, The Trade Federation, We Know Nothing, and our one-shot specials. If you aren’t familiar with these new shows, Skywalking Through Neverland brings the best conversation about all things Star Wars and all things Disney, and Talking Apes TV is a niche-within-a-niche show dedicated to the lesser known Planet of the Apes TV show, which continues to have a strong and loyal following of fans.
RetroZap is going to be a “Force” to contend with in 2016!
Not to be outdone, we are also bringing you an amazing interview with Mark Newbold of Jedi News that you won’t hear anywhere else. We talk to Mark about The Force Awakens, what it’s like to run a site like Jedi News, his experiences growing up Star Wars, and even a little Doctor Who, a little Marvel, and even a little Star Trek!
Then, the boys discuss the latest episode of Rebels and the biggest Chinese Food restaurant in New England. Because of course that’s what we discuss when the days leading up to the greatest movie of all time is in single digits.
Don’t forget, you can get your exclusive Brews and Blasters T-Shirts here. As always, we want to hear from you! email the show using the icon above or directly to brewsandblasters@retrozap.com.

The Star Wars podcast party starts here! 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.
