The Force Will Be Strong with the Evansville Philharmonic During Sci-Fi Night

Ryan O'Bryan — Thu, 16 May 2013 23:30:44 +0000

Regardless of whether you side with the Empire or the Rebel Alliance, you’re sure to find something that will literally be music to your ears. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I consider the original trilogy to be some of the greatest films of all time considering when they were made and how well [...]

See an Adorable Kitten's Jedi Mind Trick

Emerald Catron — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:40:13 +0000

We suspect this video is supposed to be cute. It is not cute. It is terrifying.Â Cats are not to be trusted. Sometimes you can pet them. Sometimes they try to rip your flesh off with their angry, sharp claws. Why would you want to imagine a world in which they can control things with their [...]

The search for a 'Star Wars: Episode 7' director is over. J.J. Abrams - the man who once said he would only be interested in 'Star Wars' as a paying moviegoer - will direct the first film in the new trilogy.

With yesterday being Veterans Day, there is not a more appropriate time to share this video. There is nothing more heartwarming than someone being surprised by their loved one who has been away for a while defending our freedom. This video will make your day. First off I want to say a big thank you [...]

'R2-DBrew' Keg May Be the Best Invention Since Beer Itself [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 07:25:21 +0000

Drunk before you know it, you will be. 26-year-old Barton Gilley is graduate of LSU and apparently a big fan of Star Wars. During a tailgate party before a home game two years ago, a buddy jokingly suggested the idea of building a beer dispenser that resembled everyone’s favorite voice-less droid. The intriguing idea stuck [...]

One Guy Recreates Entire 'Indiana Jones' Theme With His Voice [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 19:26:38 +0000

Yeah, but could he escape a run away boulder? Nick McKaig likes covering other people’s music using only one instrument, his own voice. His YouTube channel consists of nothing but covers of other famous themes such as the themes from Star Wars, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Friends, along with covers of other artists songs [...]

Star Wars Covers "Call Me Maybe"

Big Boy — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:32:13 +0000

Okay, I swear – this is the last call me maybe cover that I will ever post. I have posted so many but this one was too good to pass up. I love Star Wars. It is by far my favorite film franchise of all time. So here you go – enjoy “Call Me Maybe” [...]

'Star Wars' I Used to Know Maybe Best Gotye Parody Yet [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:22:27 +0000

The Force is strong with this one (sorry, I couldn’t help it). The original trilogy is still some of my favorite all time movies. Even 30+ years after they debuted, they still stand the test of time with a great story and special effects that aren’t too terribly cheesy compared to today’s computer-generated fare. It’s been [...]

Car Companies Release Teaser Super Bowl Commercials

Big Boy — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:12:57 +0000

I would say a good percent of Super Bowl viewers watch the game for the commercials. I am a big fan of them. There are times I really invest in the game but only if a team I enjoy is playing. I do not see my self caring to much for the outcome this year considering all of the teams I enjoy are eliminated such as the Colts,the Eagles and the Bucs. In the end I was really pulling for Tim Tebow to make it. I have been a fan of his throughout his college career.

Star Wars Coming to Theaters in 3D

Big Boy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:30:45 +0000

Something a lot of the listeners may not know about me is that I am a total Star Wars nerd. I love everything to do with Star Wars; in fact as a kid my mom used to get mad at me for constantly breaking her mops and brooms by using them as light sabers - I always pretended to be a Jedi Knight. I still have a pretty active imag

Kat Mykals — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:03:07 +0000

This is just too darn cute! There is little else that can describe it. In fact, to do so would really be a disservice to this little girls adorable-ness. Take a look...

Royal Wedding VS. Geek Wedding

Kat Mykals — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 01:10:31 +0000

Alright, so I have to just go ahead and say that I really am not in the least bit interested in the Royal Wedding... I'm not even sure if it's worthy of capitalization! lol
