Podcast Description
Imperial Trouble is Jason Mallory and Bunny McIntosh. Bunny and Jason like to talk about science fiction, toys, comic books and other gentlemanly pursuits. Bunny and Jason are not responsible for any ladies' swooning that may occur while listening to Imperial Trouble. Bunny and Jason will not engage in fisticuffs for any reason other than to defend the honor of a lady or the honor of the Xbox 360 or the honor of Star Wars except the prequels or the honor of whatever happens to be fascinating to Bunny and Jason at the time of recording. Intro and Outro music courtesy of The Insider via The Free Music Archive.

Customer Reviews
Tickles the geek bone
Nice rhythm. The hosts keep on topic, only deviating shortly for some laughs. I am going to stay out of trouble and listen to this podcast often.
Nerdy and funny!
I've enjoyed the first couple of episodes and can't wait to hear more. Each one is like a compressed package of entertaining, nerdy commentary. If that's not your thing, I'd suggest listening anyway as there are plenty of laughs for non-nerds as well. Highly recommended.
Awesome podcast!
Really enjoy it! Keep up the great work guys! Enjoy your Bobba Fett with FIRING MISSILE Sam, you have waited long enough!
