We love some serious drama in Star Wars and we also love a good old fashioned burping puppet in Star Wars. Tune in for one of our most unhinged episodes ever talking about that Mandalorian and Grogu teaser. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

NEW! Tune in for a truly unhinged episode as we discuss the first trailer for THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU! It’s all about puppets, dumb Disney, Amanaman, and Fat Boy Ice Cream Sandwiches! So don’t be too cool for school and listen today! Links ⬇️

As always, Jason and Gabe bring the goods about the excellent Mando and Grogu trailer, and when people are “too cool” for Mando. And I’m so glad they addressed the ugliness of the Disney stuff, and what happens when real world crap mixes with our fandoms.

the @blastpoints.bsky.social guys said it perfectly: “I might be a little full because I had my fancy French cuisine that won some Emmys. But sometimes you just want a big greasy burger and a banana milkshake. And I just saw a trailer for one today.” i can't wait for my star war calories

Wherever this king is, I hope he’s having the best day ever.

An Amanaman has just saved my life.

We’re taking at least next week off from the show. “The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil"

Oh yeah, the Michael Wolff who wrote this piece was my favorite Starlog writer - he wrote a ton of fun thinkpieces about how/why time travel or invisibility work the way they do in different franchises, and tried to make sense of those differences to create universal theories of fussy fan nerdiness.

One thing we love the most - Star Wars boats. #Starfighter

the Ghorman Dog is all we care about now.

I’m sure she was fine just fine getting through that little spat on Ghorman

SO much Artoo love in this episode, and a great case study of additive storytelling in Star Wars.

Considering changing the podcast’s name to Ghorman Pet Points.

Watched ROGUE ONE with my wife today. We had a ball. Wish I'd seen it in a theater. It has what so many action pictures lack: a beating heart.
