Rish Outfield suggested that we watch an episode of the Clone Wars for the podcast. No, that's not a typo, but there's a reason for it. This episode was an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS, which we had just watched for the Outfield Excursions. We also had to talk about the passing of the voice of Vader himself. James Earl Jones.
