00:00Riff TV presents Meltdown's Meltdown.
00:09Hey guys, tell you what, super excited! We're gonna be renting out an entire theater to watch Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker.
00:15I'm a huge Star Wars fan, you may not know that. I mean, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Captain Kirk...
00:21Whoa!
00:22What?
00:23Whoa, you're mixing up Star Wars and Star Trek.
00:25Dude, they're both in space, it doesn't really make a difference.
00:27They're not even remotely the same. One of them's a space opera, the other one's sci-fi.
00:31We're talking about The Rise of Skywalker.
00:33Is the Atlantic Falcon gonna be in this one?
00:35The Atlantic Falcon, what are you talking about?
00:37The spaceship they fly in?
00:38That's not what it's called, man.
00:40What about Baby Yoda?
00:41Don't you speak Baby Yoda's name.
00:42Dude, please, just stop.
00:44Hey listen, if you want to win your passes, check out this brand new Star Wars movie with Chuck the Freak, Andy Green, and James from The Morning Show.
00:50I'll be there too.
00:51And Ale Beck. Just keep it locked on the Riff.
00:54Don't you have something Klingon, dude? Beam me up, Scotty.
00:58Oh, you bantha fodder.
01:00Oh, great. Space humor.
01:02Hey guys, I had a chance to talk recently with Rob Helford from Judas Priest.
01:06We talked about a lot of things, including their nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
01:09And he also gave me an update as far as the health and well-being of guitarist Glenn Tipton.
01:13Glenn's doing well.
01:15Well, in fact, we stay in touch, and he's got his guitar on.
01:20He's putting down riffs and ideas for new priest music.
01:25Really?
01:26And he's a hero.
01:27You know, we have that song on Firepower called No Surrender.
01:30Glenn's with us in spirit wherever we play.
01:33And he's doing a great job in Glenn's part of the stage.
01:37And, you know, it's important to just say hi to Glenn on social media, on the priest sites,
01:45because he looks at them.
01:46You know, it means the world to him.
01:48He loves his fans passionately.
01:50And so anything like that thrown in Glenn's way is a real thrill for him.
01:56One's a space opera.
01:58The other one's sci-fi.
01:59Listen, one has the USS Enterprise.
02:01Yes.
02:02Okay?
02:03Yeah.
02:04And one has Baby Yoda.
02:05Well, yeah, Baby Yoda.
02:06Baby Yoda is a gift from the heavens, okay?
02:08Sorry.
02:10Dude, we're talking about The Rise of Skywalker.
02:13It's the conclusion.
02:14Which one is Baby Yoda in?
02:15That's what I want to know.
02:16Don't you speak Baby Yoda's name.
02:18I'm sorry.
02:19God damn it.
02:20I'm sorry.
02:21Don't you speak Baby Yoda's name.
02:24Go back and do something, okay?
02:25Oh, you're hopeless.
02:26Hey, listen.
02:27If you want to check out Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky.
02:30Is the Atlantic Falcon going to be in there?
02:32The Atlantic Falcon?
02:33What are you talking about?
02:34What about Baby Yoda?
02:35That's what I'm...
02:36You speak Baby Yoda's name.
