Reboot week – Star Wars

Reboot week continues this week with STAR WARS!

As you may know, Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens releases on December 18th. It will pick up the story around 25-30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi.

This new film brings back Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford), plus Chewbacca, C3PO and R2D2.  New characters include Rey (Daisy Ridley), a salvage trader on the planet of Jakku, stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega) and X-Wing pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Issac).  It is also rumored that the role of Sith villain Kylo Ren will be played by Adam Driver.

Lucasfilm also announced (link here) at this month’s Star Wars Celebration that a new Anthology Series will debut in December of 2016 with Rogue One, the story of the rebels who stole the plans to the Empire’s first Death Star.

Today we also talked about the benefits of CHICKEN FEET, namely collagen.  Chicken feet are a delicacy in many countries like China, Vietnam, Korea, Jamaica, Trinidad/Tobago and South Africa.  Using chicken feet as a cooking supplement is much cheaper than buying supplements.

Our word of the day is ANFRACTUOUS, meaning full of winding and intricate turns.

Thanks for listening!

Reboot week – Peanuts

It’s REBOOT week on the Afternoon Drive – each day this week we’ll be talking about a classic movie or TV franchise that’s releasing new content this year.

Today we focused on the Peanuts movie, coming in 3D this November.  The stories of Charlie Brown, Lucy and of course, Snoopy, return to the screen.  See the trailer here.

We’ll also be talking about Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Full House as the week moves along.

Our word of the day is PURPORT – a verb that means to claim to be or do something, or to profess.
