About the show

Hello everybody, and welcome to Rise of the Podcast. Part of the joy of loving something is sharing it with others, and that's what we want to do here. We love a lot of things: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, LEGO, filmmaking, video games, VR, 3D printing, photography, cosplaying, and conventions. Each week, we discuss a little something from one of these topics and usually have a funny story or two. Check out our YouTube channel to see our awesome video podcast!

We Tried Voice Acting | Rise of the Podcast #374

Jeremy and Chris test their voice-acting skills by re-dubbing scenes from The Simpsons, Spider-Man, The Emperor’s New Groove, The Incredibles, and The Amazing World of Gumball, with increasingly ridiculous results and the revelation that Chip absolutely refuses to say “boom baby.” Podcast 374 Before the acting begins, there’s talk about interactive smart-brick toys, Pokémon, and the usual trip through Star Wars fandom, while the back half spirals into SodaStream experiments, family stories, and assorted tangents. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

Classic Disney Hits Different | Rise of the Podcast #373

This week is a fast-moving mix of Star Wars, gaming, family stories, and pop-culture tangents. The crew talks Star Wars: Zero Company, Pokémon, streaming frustrations, and a Pokémon mod for Stardew Valley, while Jeremy and Kara share some very funny stories about Chip. The biggest nostalgia thread is classic Disney, especially why movies like Beauty and the Beast feel so effective because they are short, tightly paced, and packed with memorable moments. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

What is Military Grade? | Rise of the Podcast #370

We're back to recap Excalibur Con, argue about whether Darth Vader’s missing limbs should actually make him stronger, sample some surprisingly spicy AI-generated Star Wars romance, and learn why “military grade” might be one of the worst compliments you can give a product.
