On Bladtcast #207 - "Porkins, M.A.N.T.I.S., EGOTs, B-Movies, Jobs, Gremlins, Tribbles, Power Rangers and Showers (Golden and otherwise) ", Nerd Council Elder Mark Hunt (AKA Rafe Guttman) joins Chrstian and Captain EO (via Skype!) to discuss some of the latest Sci Fi news, Including "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" with some new insights into some of the subtleties of the film, including Christian finally revealing which David Lynch character Forrest Whittaker's portrayal of Saw Garrera reminds him of. Then, the conversation shifts to the 2016 Doctor Who Christmas Special, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", what's coming up in the "Planet of the Apes" universe, a surprising foray discussing "M.A.N.T.I.S." and Christian jinxes the winning streak for Mark's Columbus Blue Jackets. Then, Agent Starling joins Jeff and Christian in studio to give us an update on watching Star Trek the Original Series and explains why it's been easy to give up on DC TV shows.

They also discuss the Star Wars Holiday Special, the freewheeling nature of the old Marvel Star wars series, the tighter licensing during the Dark Horse years, the current utilization of some of the Extended Universe characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn. The conversation then moves to another SPOILER-FILLED discussion of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", how Dave and his 12 year old son both responded to it, how the film fits into the Star Wars story, and how the Empire just won't ever learn. Then, Bladtcast friend Jason Blair checks in from Indiana to let us know what he thought of the movie, and more importantly what his mom thought of it. Of course, the conversation eventually moves over to 90's hip hop.
