Elysia talks to Beacon 23 season 2 co-showrunner Glen Mazzara about the show, what it's like to be a showrunner (during a strike), with deep and honest reflection of how story decisions are made, and answers to some of our lingering questions. Before and after the interview, Luke joins Elysia to talk through this and other new information, and play a couple rounds of Would You Rather.

Elysia and Luke look back on the two seasons of Beacon 23 as a whole as we take our last beacon-based deep dive (for now, hopefully) into the final two episodes of season 2: episodes 7 ("Free") and 8 ("Disintegration").
What exactly happened with Harmony; what did we learn about these characters and this world; who would we Join, Jail, or Jettison; and who is the most murderous AI of them all – we attempt to answer everything!

In this quickie intro episode to The Star Wars Canon Timeline Podcast, you’ll learn not only what all those words mean (in the context of Star Wars), but also how this podcast works – how this experiment in creating a chronological timeline amidst a chaotic release order will unfold, and what to expect from the journey.
I break down the 9 eras of Star Wars history we’re covering – starting thousands of years in the past, through weekly releases of the upcoming series The Acolyte – as well as what kinds of guests to expect, essential Star Wars timeline lingo, and how this podcast is designed for both old fans and fresh faces who are Star Wars-curious.
This Is the Way.

Happy Holidays from Wool-Shift-Dust! In this winter special, Elysia and Luke explore one of the original alternate timeline stories: the iconic It's a Wonderful Life (1946), plus the other films it spawned – including remake It Happened One Christmas (1977), the amusingly terrible unofficial sequel Clarence (1990), and the looser remakes It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas (2002), The Christmas Spirit (2013), and the 2023 horror comedy It's a Wonderful Knife. Don't worry if you haven't seen any of them – we'll recap them all, and then talk about why you should care, and all the good, the bad, and the ugly within.
Also, Elysia explains "The Greatest Gift," the short story It's a Wonderful Life is based on, (with a special performance by DeadEyeJediBob) – plus the song "Auld Lang Syne" – in the Wool-Shift-Dust Book Club.
