It's Christmas time again… well at least it was two days ago when we recorded he cast. Today's Quackcast is a rambling christmas discussion of various things that take our fancy like the Secret Santa gift thread (linked down bellow), and the amazing ...

One of the great things about the original Star Wars movies was the strong sense of a grand, adventurous, and terrible history before the movie started.
