No, exactly. You're not going to for a while until it's on streaming, 536 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,160 just like many people. So is this is his way to get into another thing that's going to put him back 537 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,480 in the zeitgeist. Adam Driver is one of these actors that has always, I think for most moviegoers 538 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:44,880 thought of as a very talented franchise driving actor, but has he done it? Not since Star Wars, 539 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,040 like he has not been a leading actor since Star Wars. That's the hard boiled truth. 540 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,880 And this is his way to get back into it again, with a franchise with a superhero 541 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,560 movie, which is considered taboo to some of these big time actors. Maybe, but he can do it. I think 542 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,520 he can do it. What are you laughing at? I'm sorry. I just I was doing some research on Herbie. 543 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:12,560 Okay. All right. Well, anyway, let me just say this real quick. So Herbie is it was created because I 544 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,360 guess back in the day, like the seventies or the like before the eighties, the human torch was 545 00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:21,360 optioned for like a movie. And so they couldn't use him in the cartoon. So they had to create a 546 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:27,360 fourth character, which is Herbie the robot. Right. And Herbie stands for humanoid experimental robot 547 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:36,800 B type integrated electronic. Yeah. You're really struggling for an acronym. 548 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,360 Yeah. It's also why she hawk was in the Fantastic Four for a while. Like Johnny Storm, 549 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,880 believe it or not, was like a big character in the sixties and seventies, like late 60s. 550 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:52,480 Nobody else finds that as funny as I do. That's fine. It is funny. It's crazy. You said that with 551 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,520 about as much enthusiasm as when you watch a movie that you really don't enjoy. It was it was Aaron. 552 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,600 It was fine. It was a fine joke. Great job. All right. Well, that'll do it for our news and notes 553 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,920 this week. Let's go ahead and get into our review of the Mandalorian season three. Before we do that, 554 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:13,680 though, Aaron, let's take a quick break and we will be right back.

What are we? What do we stand for? 578 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,200 Being a Mandalorian is not just learning about how to fight. 579 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,880 You also have to know how to navigate the galaxy. 580 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,160 That way you'll never be lost. 581 00:27:50,160 --> 00:28:05,440 I'm going to Mandalore so that I may be forgiven for my transgressions. 582 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,440 May the force be with you! 583 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,440 This is the way. 584 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,440 There's something dangerous about this. 585 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:20,720 And by the time it becomes big enough for you to act, it'll be too late. 586 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,720 Hang on, kid. 587 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,720 This is the way. 588 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,720 This is the way. 589 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,640 Alrighty, Aaron, here we are talking about the Mandalorian season three. 590 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,760 And I just want to add a little something here. Spoilers ahead. 591 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,800 Because we're going to go full on talking about the entire series. 592 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,840 Season or series? 593 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,920 Well, it's the series is the Mandalorian. The season is season three. Did I say series? 594 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,760 We're going to talk about the entire series. 595 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,840 Let's not talk about the entire series because that's a lot. 596 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,720 Let's talk about the season. Let's just talk about specifically season three here. 597 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,840 And my question for you is that thoughts like I said at the beginning of the episode, 598 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,200 this is kind of polarizing. 599 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,840 There are hardcore Star Wars fans that are very much on the fence with this brand new season, 600 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,880 the Mandalorian. 601 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,960 What were your thoughts on the season? 602 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,400 I really enjoyed it. I thought it was great. 603 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,000 I won't say that I loved it. 604 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,960 It definitely wasn't as good as like season one. 605 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,480 I don't think I don't think anything even future Mandalorian seasons will ever live up to season 606 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,560 one, but it was it was great. I really, really enjoyed it. 607 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,040 Yeah, I think I'm in a similar boat, maybe slightly less enthusiastic about it. 608 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,440 Like I agree. Season one is perfection. 609 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,040 It's breathe a new life into me in terms of being a Star Wars fan. 610 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,240 Like think about the time frame that that first season of the Mandalorian came out. 611 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,080 It was right around the time where the last Jedi and the rise of Skywalker was coming out. 612 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,360 The franchise was at an all time low in terms of morality. 613 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,720 The fans were at each other's throats constantly on social media or otherwise, 614 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,640 or at least, you know, that's that was the interpretation. 615 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,800 Of course, social media is not a great gauge for where one was game changing. 616 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,160 And we all know that now, because without season one, 617 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:38,160 we would not have the insane amount of Star Wars content that we are preparing for. 618 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,800 It's so crazy how impactful season one was. 619 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,320 And maybe that's why it's so polarizing when it comes to follow up seasons, 620 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,640 because you just will never have that. 621 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,280 It's like the first time you eat like your favorite type of ice cream. 622 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,920 You know, you're never going to be able to experience that for the first time again 623 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,440 and be in that same awe. But that's the way it is. 624 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,640 I mean, and season three was in my opinion, it was really good. 625 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,840 So yeah, I think that's well put. 626 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,160 You always say when you introduce something to someone, you're like, oh, man, 627 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,400 I wish I could go back and just do what you're doing. 628 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280 Like Aaron, for you with invincible, man, I really wish I could go back 629 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,040 and just read invincible for the first time. 630 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,760 Or when you went when you watch Game of Thrones, it's like, man, I envy you 631 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,040 because you're seeing this for the first time. 632 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,760 You're experiencing a lot of the great the greatness of that. 633 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,360 There's a little bit of incest and invincible, too. 634 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560 I know we didn't really talk about that, but there is one particular arc 635 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,520 that's very incestual and we will talk about it right now because 636 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,640 from the Mandalorian season three. 637 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920 But I think that will definitely get I told you we're not talking about right now, Aaron. 638 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,200 We'll talk about it on the grid. 639 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,640 But you want to hear about our incestual thoughts on invincible. 640 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,000 We'll get there eventually at some point. 641 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,160 But Mandalorian season three, kind of diving into my thoughts a little bit more is that again, 642 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:50,640 I agree with you. 643 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,600 The first season is incredible. 644 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,960 Season two is really good. 645 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,080 Season three, while I enjoyed, I wasn't excited each week. 646 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,160 Stop thinking about everyone can't see right now. 647 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,640 Aaron's like looking to the sky, trying to figure out what I'm talking about. 648 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,320 We'll talk about it in the lock in lock in the man. 649 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,480 I'm I'll stay on target. 650 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,440 Stay on target. 651 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,800 Locked lock in target. 652 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,600 The Mandalorian season three felt like to me a natural progression for the series, 653 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,680 but it's not what I love about the series. 654 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,760 The season one and we talked about this briefly and I know you want to talk about this 655 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:29,840 is the lone wolf and cub comparison of the Mandalorian and how it's kind of it's a space 656 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,160 western. 657 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,040 Let's be honest. 658 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,760 It's exactly that. 659 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,560 Absolutely. 660 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:39,920 And Mando is I feel like the cups this season brought it back to that more so than season two 661 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,040 did. 662 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,840 Well, yeah, because Grogu is like not really with Mando most of season. 663 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,120 Yeah, season two was such a kind of a step away from like I feel like, yeah, it was it 664 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,960 was a step away from what season one definitely was because they are again trying something 665 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840 new and then they realized, oh, we made a mistake for season two. 666 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,000 Let's bring back the adventures of Grogu and and Mando. 667 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,640 Yeah, you're in and and oh my God, I just had a flashback to season three and there's a 668 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,640 moment that made me like just seriously cry and it's amazing. 669 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,080 So again, I'm probably this is going to be one of those conversations where we're going 670 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,480 to talk about this season and it's going to make me realize how much better it was than 671 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,520 what I actually thought. 672 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,800 So I love that. 673 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,080 Let's get into it a little bit more. 674 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,360 Let's talk about the summary. 675 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,280 So the summary is set after the events of the Book of Boba Fett. 676 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,680 We pick back up with Din Djarin being reunited with his adopted son, Grogu. 677 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,720 Meanwhile, I mean, spoilers. 678 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,440 He's not he's not adopted yet. 679 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,000 Right. 680 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,520 He's like spiritually adopted. 681 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,920 Yes, literally adopted so much later. 682 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,320 Guardian is Guardian, his Padawan. 683 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,160 So yeah, his family is what he was. 684 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:46,640 His family. 685 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:46,960 Yeah. 686 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,640 Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. 687 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:56,400 Din eventually reunites with fellow Mandalorian Bo Katan Kryze as they team up to reclaim ancient 688 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,280 Mandalore and bring it back to its former glory. 689 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:04,640 So I kind of I know we normally just really like delve into how we feel about certain 690 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,720 things, but I really want to get through the show runners. 691 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,600 I want to get through the cast and I just want to talk about the meat of this. 692 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,320 Yeah, let's go ahead. 693 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:10,880 Is that OK? 694 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:11,840 Is that OK with you? 695 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,040 Yeah, let's switch it up. 696 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,360 OK, so the show runner, John Favreau. 697 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,720 Chris, I don't know if you want to talk about that. 698 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:23,360 Yeah, I mean, John Favreau has him and Dave Filoni have been the spearhead of this brand 699 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,280 new era of Star Wars, and it has been great since they've taken over. 700 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,280 Star Wars is in good hands, people. 701 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,840 We've got people who really care about source material. 702 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,320 Exactly. 703 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,720 Yeah, like we need this for every franchise. 704 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:40,800 And, you know, Aaron and I, we are like many a we are at the heel of franchises, 705 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,520 Disney specifically, like they have our money. 706 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,240 And if that's going to happen, if we're going to be on me, Disney. 707 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,680 Yeah, it's we're like we are just always going to be paying attention to what's going on, 708 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,960 whether we like it or not. 709 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,520 And it's nice to know that Star Wars is in good hands with John Favreau and kind of along 710 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,600 that same token, Favreau actually wrote all eight episodes of season three. 711 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,360 He worked with Noah Clore on episode three. 712 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,240 And of course, you were Dave Filoni on the fourth and seventh episode. 713 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,520 So that's good news. 714 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:14,160 The finale, which we'll get into here in just a bit, I think is from it feels very Filoni 715 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,640 Favreau, the F squared, if you will. 716 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,520 Like it's very much their brand of Star Wars. 717 00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,920 Season three had six different directors. 718 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,040 I love this, though. 719 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,320 What's that? 720 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,440 That some of the directors that we had for season three. 721 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:27,760 The fact. 722 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,560 Yeah, yeah, good. 723 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,120 No, no, go ahead. 724 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,880 You were I was going to say the fact that Carl Weathers himself actually directed one 725 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,640 of these. So you had Rick Famiua, Rachel Morrison, Lee Isaac Chung, Carl Weathers, 726 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,160 Peter Ramsey and Bryce Dallas Howard for having this many directors for a single season. 727 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,400 It really worked well together. 728 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,080 And I think they all must have like sat in a room and was like, OK, what's your thoughts? 729 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:50,880 What's your thoughts? 730 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:51,920 What are your thoughts? 731 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,200 I think I have a job. 732 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,920 Yeah, exactly. 733 00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:59,200 The consistency of each episode felt very much like, of course, you're going to have your 734 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,840 takes and things like you're directing. 735 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,040 I don't know what I'm trying to say here. 736 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,840 Like they will include their own brands into these episodes. 737 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,840 But for the most part, yeah, of course. 738 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:08,400 Yeah. 739 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:14,240 And but it felt very much like a cohesive story, like there wasn't any like lapse in tone or 740 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:14,960 anything like that. 741 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,480 It all felt very Mandalorian. 742 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,880 So Aaron, why don't you go and get into the cast here, too? 743 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:19,200 All right. 744 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,320 Let's zoom through the cast. 745 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,320 Let's let's speed her bike through the cast. 746 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,280 OK, that's right. 747 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,600 Pedro Pascal is Dinger in the Mandalorian. 748 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,760 Katie Sack off as Bo Katan Krees. 749 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,760 Carl Weathers is Grief Karga. 750 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,760 Emily Swallow as the Armorer. 751 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,760 Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon. 752 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,760 Omid Apti is Penn Pershing. 753 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,760 Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Carson Teva. 754 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,760 Simon Cassianides as Axe Wolves. 755 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,760 Mercedes Varnado as Casca Reeves. 756 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,760 Tate Fletcher as Paz Vizsla. 757 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,760 Jack Black as Captain Bombardier. 758 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,760 Lizzo as the Duchess of Plyzar XV. 759 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,760 Christopher Lloyd as Commissioner Helgate. 760 00:36:53,760 --> 00:37:05,760 So Omid Best, who played Jar Jar Binks in the prequel trilogy, he got some very and you've I'm sure people have seen this on social media, much needed redemption during Chapter 20, the Foundling. 761 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:13,760 Best plays the Jedi Master, Kellaren Beck, basically single handedly saving Grogu from Order 66. 762 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,760 So we see Grogu in his little egg flight flying through. 763 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,760 Yeah, I was going to say like a pod or something. 764 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,760 Yeah, his little flying egg, OK. 765 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:31,760 And basically he's being guarded by three Jedi who are this is happening in the temple right after Order 66 has been announced. 766 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:37,760 And all three of them die to get Grogu into an elevator. 767 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:43,760 And once it comes up, there's this this very high anticipation moment where the door opens and it's back. 768 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,760 It's Kellaren Beck. 769 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,760 And again, many people already knew that he was Jar Jar Binks. 770 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,760 And obviously, Jar Jar Binks really, really received a ton of hate for just his character in general. 771 00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:05,760 So I thought it was amazing to have this one guy just be able to take and get Grogu to safety and really just give him give him his moment. 772 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,760 And it felt so good. 773 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,760 Everything's going to be all right, kid. 774 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:16,760 ёт 775 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:55,040 Take this difference, fueled and ready to go! 776 00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:00,040 Come on! 777 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:13,400 Such a crucial moment in Star Wars, right? 778 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,600 That is a giant moment to save Grogu. 779 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,760 Grogu is all of our baby right now. 780 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:19,760 He's our foundling. 781 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,640 He told America, the world's foundling. 782 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:30,720 And Favreau and company, they rewrote Ahmed Best's contribution to Star Wars. 783 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:33,880 Again, Best did not deserve any hate that he got from Jar Jar Binks. 784 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:39,640 If nothing else, Jar Jar Binks, the character is hated not for how he was acted or anything 785 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,640 like that. 786 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,440 That's on George Lucas and the way he wrote the character. 787 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:48,240 Ahmed Best did a great job in terms of like voice acting and also character acting, you 788 00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:51,680 know, like emotion capturing the character of Jar Jar Binks. 789 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,680 And he just did what he was told. 790 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,840 And he got a ton of hate. 791 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,000 Like there should be a documentary about Ahmed Best and his journey through Star Wars. 792 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,000 Yeah, exactly. 793 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,000 Yeah. 794 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,040 But this definitely rewrites that and it makes it much. 795 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,720 I mean, he was incredible in that scene. 796 00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:06,240 It's one of the coolest moments of season three. 797 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:10,880 Steve Bloom, he reprised his role as the Rebels character Zeb Aurelius. 798 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,280 The last rebel was the pilot of the starship, the ghost in the animated Star Wars. 799 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,200 Excuse me, the animated series Star Wars Rebels. 800 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,480 Steve Bloom, I kind of want to talk about him very briefly. 801 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,600 I mean, of course, everyone knows Steve Bloom. 802 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,440 He's one of the most decorated voice actors of all time. 803 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,720 He was in Cowboy Bebop. 804 00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:30,720 He was the voice of Tom and Toonami. 805 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:34,120 To list his credits, we would be this would take an entire episode. 806 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,480 And you know, a little peek behind the curtain is that Aaron and I, we were giant fans of 807 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,120 Steve Bloom and it was really cool to see on the show. 808 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,180 Answer our emails, Steve. 809 00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:46,040 If you're listening right now, we know you are. 810 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,040 Come on the show. 811 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,040 We've sent you many emails. 812 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,040 Please. 813 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,480 We want to talk to you. 814 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,000 And it was cool to see him back as Zeb, like obviously Zeb is a giant fan favorite character 815 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,200 over on Star Wars Rebels. 816 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,240 Aaron and I are very notoriously. 817 00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:01,600 We have not seen Rebels definitely want to at some point, but even without seeing the 818 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,880 series, you know, the pervasiveness of that character just through Star Wars fandom, we 819 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:07,880 know who he is. 820 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,040 And we knew immediately when he showed up on screen, it was like, oh, that was a fun. 821 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,540 Those were fun moments in that Cantina. 822 00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:17,200 Those were such fun moments to have. 823 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,640 Like I never expected from the first time we see, you know, the Rebel Cantina, right? 824 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,640 Sorry. 825 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,640 The New Republic Cantina. 826 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,760 I wouldn't even say that was a Republic Cantina. 827 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,920 It was just, it was a random Cantina in the outer rim where a lot of New Republic pilots 828 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,920 were hanging out. 829 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:39,240 You know, it was like that bar in Top Gun, you know, just where the pilots go. 830 00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:41,200 And then like, I don't know. 831 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,320 I loved those scenes. 832 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:48,280 And the more we talk about this season, the more I'm realizing how much I actually enjoyed 833 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,280 so much of it. 834 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,680 Well, and I think this is a perfect, this is a perfect example of a great easter egg. 835 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:58,640 Like they do it later in the series as well during the episode with with a pen Pershing, 836 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,000 you know, that whole episode where they're talking about his like, you know, he creates 837 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,000 the clone episode. 838 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000 Oh, absolutely. 839 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000 Yeah. 840 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,120 He creates the clone and then under the leadership of Moff Gideon, eventually is beaten by Dinger 841 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,560 and company. 842 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,640 He is trying to redeem himself by being in this like New Republic redemption program. 843 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,960 You know, we've got Pershing on the on the table. 844 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,520 He's about to basically get a lobotomy and you've got the Mon Calamari doctor who's like, 845 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,520 no, no, no, you're good. 846 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,120 You're just getting a quick fix up. 847 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,480 And they have that scene where someone says behind behind the screen, it's a trap. 848 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,480 Take a massive action. 849 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,480 Green group, step across the whole detector from each other. 850 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:37,480 Admiral, we have any new ships in sector 47. 851 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,480 It's a trap. 852 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,800 And they just kind of pause for a second. 853 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:44,800 That is a great Easter egg. 854 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,400 And of course, you know, seeing Zeb there at the bar for a quick moment is also just 855 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,400 another good example. 856 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,720 I think they did a great job with that. 857 00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:52,720 Yeah. 858 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:53,920 So let's let's talk about that episode real quick. 859 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,000 So episode three or or or chapter 19, the convert. 860 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,240 OK, so we see Pershing and we see, you know, it was cool to see course on again. 861 00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:05,240 Yeah, yeah. 862 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:08,160 That's the opening scene from I think was an attack of the clones. 863 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,160 Yeah. 864 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,560 Which we see another we see it again. 865 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,880 We see that same place where he goes and touches the top of the mountain. 866 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:20,440 You see that same area in the I want the episode where they say, you know, the same one we 867 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,320 were just talking about with back. 868 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,920 But anyways, that's one of the reasons I loved this season. 869 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:32,040 And it's because they took that that one episode felt much like its own little like, you know, 870 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,760 obviously, sub story that kind of like filled in the whole thing. 871 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,360 Like you read a book and you have like a chapter that kind of is a standalone chapter, you 872 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,880 know, but it feeds into the overall beast of what the story is. 873 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:50,160 And I love that one with the convert because you see this guy who really looks like he 874 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,440 has not, you know, raised in the empire, learned everything was taught by the empire, was trying 875 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,800 to do something that he thought was good, wanted to just do his science, wanted to do 876 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,440 his just wanted to do his his job. 877 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,920 And there's been there's always been this discussion where like people are saying like 878 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,280 the empire was right, you know, or Vader was was right. 879 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:13,040 You know, you have these tyrants who only do it. 880 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,040 Brainwash. 881 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,040 Yeah. 882 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,960 Like Dr. Doom only does it because he knows in his heart of hearts that it may be not 883 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,680 the right way, but it's definitely not the wrong way because the ends justify the means. 884 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,680 Yeah, they're not thinking about the process or thinking about where they need to get to 885 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,760 exactly to do to make a bigger impact. 886 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,480 So that's Pershing is just like that he he doesn't necessarily believe in the empire 887 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:39,480 and what they stood for, but he believes in the progress and the betterment of all of, 888 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,720 you know, the galaxy. 889 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:45,440 And so to have that guy go through that and you can see those moments where he's like, 890 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,040 oh, I can just be here and have friends. 891 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,720 But it's not about just having friends like I can't pretend to go to a job. 892 00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:54,080 I can't pretend to go to a nine to five. 893 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,480 I can't pretend to sit and have drinks. 894 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:02,920 But also the empire is still there in the shadows, like pushing the little buttons. 895 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,920 And it's the small little maneuvers. 896 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,480 It's a small little toggles within society that they're just playing with that will lead 897 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:15,040 to an overall boff Gideon re you know, re integration into society. 898 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:20,120 And it's like I thought that that was a perfect execution of such a small idea that could 899 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,160 turn into something so big. 900 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:27,280 And the fact that they're willing to do so. 901 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:34,280 Here's where I'm confused because Dr. Pershing had not perfected his research, but the woman 902 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,520 that was working for Moff Gideon came came. 903 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,760 Yeah, just completely erased it. 904 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:41,920 Yeah. 905 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:42,920 Like what was the point? 906 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,240 Also, Moff Gideon uses that technology later in the season during the finale, where you 907 00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:50,760 see all of those four sensitive versions of Moff Gideon. 908 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:51,760 Were they? 909 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:52,760 Yeah. 910 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,320 He said he almost got there. 911 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,880 He didn't say that he had perfected it. 912 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,800 I was under the interpretation that he had gotten it and that they just weren't perfect. 913 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,040 Or maybe he hadn't gotten it, but he was extremely close. 914 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,760 And Dingeran and Grogu obviously ruined all that because they killed all of those versions 915 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:07,880 of Moff Gideon. 916 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,880 So that's what I was worried about was because to me, I wasn't sure if they actually again, 917 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:12,880 we didn't see any bodies. 918 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:13,880 Yeah, exactly. 919 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,260 Yeah, we just saw an explosion. 920 00:46:16,260 --> 00:46:19,520 And then kind of briefly before we continue on, I want to talk about the music. 921 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:24,440 Of course, it's Star Wars music is such a giant part of the franchise. 922 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,680 And Ludwig Gorson's first two seasons of The Mandalorian were perfection. 923 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:35,800 The Mandalorian theme is, in my opinion, and this is Zero Hyper Bowl, a top three Star 924 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,520 Wars tune of all time. 925 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,320 Like, it is one of the great. 926 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,320 It's like Star Wars. 927 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,320 It's iconic. 928 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,320 Star Wars theme. 929 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,000 You know, you've got Darth Vader's theme, which I'm why am I spacing the actual name 930 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,200 of the Imperial was the March. 931 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,200 Imperial March. 932 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,200 Thank you. 933 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,440 And then the Mandalorian theme like that's my top three. 934 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,400 There are many, many other great versions. 935 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:59,560 Get that Mandalorian whistle in there anytime you can. 936 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,640 But in season three here, we actually had Joseph Shirley come in and compose this season. 937 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,880 My thoughts were pretty much sounded the same. 938 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:06,880 Not much of a difference. 939 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,680 I thought there was a lot of Mandalorian whistles. 940 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,540 It was almost used as like, you know, you're watching like a sitcom on ABC or Fox. 941 00:47:14,540 --> 00:47:16,120 And it was like it's like a laugh track. 942 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,440 The person will say a thing and then you'll hear a laugh track afterwards. 943 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:26,600 It was almost the this was used as like a defining like, oh, this is a big part. 944 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,560 This is something big is either about to happen or something big just happened. 945 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:34,600 We call it the foot stomp in like military education courses. 946 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,880 Like your instructor will be like, OK, when I you know, this is a foot stomp, something 947 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,880 you should remember. 948 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,600 Maybe write down, take a note. 949 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:41,600 Yeah. 950 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,280 So but yeah, again, I thought it was great. 951 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,600 Pretty much was almost exactly like Gorson. 952 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,680 So Aaron, there was a little subsection of this that I really wanted to talk about. 953 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,200 We need to dive into this because it's a big part of the series. 954 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,720 That's the legend of the mythasaur. 955 00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:58,360 So big part of the beginning of the series. 956 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:03,480 And then, of course, the reuniting of the many different sects of Mandalorians come 957 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:09,480 together basically on the idea and the promise that Bo Katan saw a mythasaur. 958 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,760 So the mythasaur is I'm going to go through all this. 959 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,720 And this is kind of like a setup for what we get to. 960 00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:18,040 So the mythasaur's were native to a planet in the outer rim, uninhabitable by any sentient 961 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,760 species and thus their great size afforded them domination over other creatures who made 962 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,080 the world their home. 963 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,640 Many mythasaur's roamed the planet's surface unopposed until the day of Tongue, who arrived 964 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:34,160 on the world around seven thousand BBY, which is in Star Wars, Lingo or seven thousand years 965 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,240 before the Battle of Yavin, which is the battle in Star Wars and New Hope. 966 00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:41,600 So immigrating from the planet of Rune and led by the warrior known as Mandalore the 967 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:46,600 First, Tongue sought to colonize the mythasaur's world as their own. 968 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,720 Mandalore the First led the campaign against the giant mythasaur's, his warriors slaughtering 969 00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:54,800 the native beasts using swords and axe as a test of their skills until they finally 970 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,880 drove the creatures into extinction. 971 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:02,520 Tongue then assumed the name the Mandalorians or Mandaride in the Mandalorian language of 972 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:07,400 Mendoa, children of the Mandalorian, and renamed the conquered Ward Mandalore in honor of their 973 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,400 leader. 974 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:13,360 The mythasaur skull was taken as a sigil of the ancient Mandalorian Kaldal clan, renowned 975 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,040 for its combat and strength. 976 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,800 In the meantime, the mythasaur skull became a common symbol in Mandalorian society used 977 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,000 to decorate Mandalorian armor, equipment, and banners. 978 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:27,080 So all that to be said, in Chapter 18, The Minds of Mandalore, this offered some insight 979 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,320 about the fall of Mandalore and the mythasaur itself. 980 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,140 Again kind of throughout Star Wars history basically just being the symbol of the Mandalorians. 981 00:49:35,140 --> 00:49:39,960 The idea of the mythasaur wasn't really known until this newest season of the Mandalorian. 982 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,480 Bo-Katan tells a different story here saying that Mandalore the First didn't actually kill 983 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,800 these creatures but instead tamed them and kept them in the living waters of the Mind 984 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,020 of Mandalore. 985 00:49:49,020 --> 00:49:52,480 We also learn in the final moments of the Minds of Mandalore that at least one of these 986 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,280 creatures has survived and somehow remained hidden. 987 00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:01,000 Now Bo-Katan is the first and only Mandalorian in centuries to lay eyes on a living mythasaur. 988 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,640 This is a big deal for the children of, I'm forgetting the name of the armorer and her 989 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,680 clan who are basically like purists. 990 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:14,160 They are extremists within the legend and the religion of Mandalore and Mandalorians. 991 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:19,460 They're like, whoa, you should lead our people because you've seen this creature. 992 00:50:19,460 --> 00:50:25,600 Everything that we base our culture off of, you've seen one or at least we think you have. 993 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,280 So they essentially don Bo-Katan as their new leader because of this. 994 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,280 Big deal. 995 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,440 Big deal in the Star Wars universe that we finally see a mythasaur. 996 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:41,160 The other thing was like Mandalorian, Dingeran giving up the dark blade to her for, did I 997 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,880 agree with that situation? 998 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:50,100 Not necessarily, but did they see the fact that she did take it away from somebody who 999 00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:51,100 had bested Dingeran? 1000 00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:53,840 Yeah, I mean it makes sense kind of, right? 1001 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:59,040 That thing takes Mando under his, it's like about to start testing on him and Bo-Katan 1002 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,160 meets that dark saber and defeats him with it and then becomes the owner of the dark 1003 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,160 saber. 1004 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,060 So, Aaron, why don't you talk about the finale here and then that'll kind of almost round 1005 00:51:06,060 --> 00:51:07,060 out our review. 1006 00:51:07,060 --> 00:51:11,080 I'd like to talk about one more thing that was kind of polarizing during the series and 1007 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:16,000 that was my favorite one, which my favorite episode, which was episode six or chapter 1008 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,600 22, guns for hire. 1009 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:18,600 Yeah. 1010 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,160 And I'm talking about this because I don't know, there seemed to be some hate for the 1011 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:27,480 fact that Lizzo and Jack Black were in this episode, but to be honest, this was one of 1012 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:34,400 the most fun and entertaining episodes, not because of those two, of this season, simply 1013 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:40,920 because it was very much what I wanted in an episodic Western- 1014 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,160 Like adventure of the week. 1015 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,080 Yeah, adventure of the week type thing. 1016 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,080 Like- 1017 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,520 I felt like season one more than any other episode. 1018 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,520 Yeah, it was like the two cops paired together who didn't want to be, like who didn't really 1019 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,560 like you're good cop, I'm bad cop. 1020 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,040 Oh, we've got our own different methods of how we do this, but they work together and 1021 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:03,560 it was, you know, it was Bo-Katan and Dingerin solving this crime of, and also just come 1022 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,480 on like an amazing like cast. 1023 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:07,480 Yeah. 1024 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,480 Christopher Lloyd is in this episode. 1025 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,560 Christopher Lloyd, you know, Doc Brown himself. 1026 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,440 I wanted to put that out there real quick before I talk about the finale, because that 1027 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,200 honestly was my favorite episode because of what we're talking about, the adventure of 1028 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:22,720 the week style, where it was a very self-contained episode that had connections at both the beginning 1029 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:30,800 and the end to the overall season, but that just- and it didn't necessarily focus at all 1030 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,320 really on Grogu. 1031 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,720 Yeah, Grogu was just kind of along for the- or no, actually isn't Grogu like off somewhere 1032 00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:37,720 else? 1033 00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:38,720 He's hanging out with the princess. 1034 00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:39,720 Oh, that's right. 1035 00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:40,720 Yeah, he's with Lizzo. 1036 00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:41,720 With Lizzo. 1037 00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:45,920 And so I just, again, I just, I wanted to point that out because I loved that episode 1038 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,840 and I thought it was so much fun. 1039 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:54,160 And so yeah, getting into the finale, which just damn. 1040 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,160 It's awesome. 1041 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,680 What a fucking finale, man. 1042 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,680 I'm sorry, I had to step back from the mic because I felt myself getting- Chris tells 1043 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,920 me when I get excited to possibly like back up a little bit if you're going to get too 1044 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:05,920 excited. 1045 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:06,920 If you're going to get too excited, you made it into the week. 1046 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:12,120 I preemptively got really excited because this finale was phenomenal finale. 1047 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,240 Okay? 1048 00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:17,480 So after Din Duran is captured by Gideon and his Praetorian guards, which we see- 1049 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,120 We see some Praetorian guards. 1050 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,120 That's awesome. 1051 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,120 We see Praetorian. 1052 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,640 So here's the mind blowing things about this episode, man. 1053 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,720 The Praetorian guards that we see that are just kicking ass. 1054 00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:34,640 Oh, also the loss of that one of the, I'm going to call him the tank DeLorean. 1055 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:35,880 That dude was a badass. 1056 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:36,880 I loved him. 1057 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,800 Him and his fucking mini gun. 1058 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,320 Yeah, he had a Gatling gun on his back. 1059 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,320 The Gatling gun. 1060 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,320 That guy was my favorite. 1061 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,320 I want to be him. 1062 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,400 Well, I want to say really quickly, the Praetorian guards, are they really that badass? 1063 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:52,160 Because the only two times you've ever seen them, they get their ass beat by, well, they 1064 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:59,440 eventually get beat by Bo-Katan and Din Duran, but also in The Last Jedi, Kylo and Rey beat 1065 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:00,440 the shit out. 1066 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:01,440 It's like coolest scene in the movie. 1067 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,800 One of the best scenes in the Star Wars universe. 1068 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:10,880 After the Phantom Menace, this is one of the best fight scenes that's ever been created. 1069 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,400 People have the audacity to say The Last Jedi isn't good. 1070 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,360 Anyway, that's another conversation. 1071 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,640 So after Dintrid is captured by Gideon and his Praetorian guards, Bo-Katan and their 1072 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:26,000 reconnaissance squad retreat from Moff Gideon's base with assistance from Grogu. 1073 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,680 We're not even talking about the coolest part, my man. 1074 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:33,640 The fact that we have stormtroopers in Beskar armor. 1075 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,560 Like that shit was awesome. 1076 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:36,560 That was awesome. 1077 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:41,080 And we have a sector of the Mandalorian, all of the other Mandalorians have to go up, grab 1078 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,840 their ship and basically just ram into Moff Gideon's ship. 1079 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,520 With assistance from Grogu, Din Duran eventually escapes from captivity and seeks out Gideon. 1080 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:55,280 Jiren and Grogu discover cloning tanks filled with clones of Gideon who can use the force 1081 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,280 and Jiren destroys them. 1082 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,960 After a lengthy skirmish between the Mandalorians and the Beskar enhanced stormtroopers within 1083 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:06,000 the base, Bo-Katan, Jiren and Grogu make a final stand against Gideon and his Praetorian 1084 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,520 guards in which the dark saber is destroyed. 1085 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:09,520 Crush! 1086 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,280 That's a big deal by the way. 1087 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,120 Like the dark saber finally being destroyed. 1088 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,120 Wow. 1089 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,520 Wolves ram the Mandalorian capital ship into the Imperial base and Gideon is consumed by 1090 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,320 the resulting blast. 1091 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:20,320 Is he dead? 1092 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:21,320 Allegedly. 1093 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:22,320 Is he dead? 1094 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:23,320 We don't know. 1095 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:24,320 Allegedly. 1096 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,080 We've seen people get crispified before and then come back. 1097 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:29,080 Hello, Anakin. 1098 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,080 Hello, Anakin. 1099 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,200 I have the high ground. 1100 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,680 And the 13 original herbs and spices. 1101 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:35,960 That's right. 1102 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,720 Grogu protects Bo-Katan and Jiren from the blast with his force bubble. 1103 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:44,680 He used but Grogu uses bubble. 1104 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,680 It's super effective. 1105 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,600 It's super effective against the fire. 1106 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,480 OK, let's talk about this real quick. 1107 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,760 A, if you have never wanted a jetpack, I don't know why you're listening to this show. 1108 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,560 And if you have packs are in

--> 00:58:05,080 engulfing in flame, she puts that thing in front of everybody like it's supposed to do 1162 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,080 a goddamn thing. 1163 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,080 What are you doing? 1164 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,800 It's like it's like what was it? 1165 00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,000 And it was an IV sore when everybody's in the ocean. 1166 00:58:12,000 -->

and everyone I don't know why I'm making this connection, but it's in 1170 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:25,680 Batman v Superman, Donald Justice, when Doomsday is about to blow Batman away and he like is 1171 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,040 his eyes are on fire about to shoot at Bruce and he just puts his arms up like this. 1172 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,200 And then, of course, one of them comes in with her shield. 1173 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,840 Ironically enough, one of them comes in with her shield and blocks it. 1174 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,120 But like, what what do you do? 1175 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,120 Why you put your hands up? 1176 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,640 What's that going to do? 1177 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:39,640 Who the fuck knows? 1178 00:58:39,640 -->

00:58:48,920 The the you know, allegedly, Moff Gideon is dead. 1182 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,560 Allegedly his clones are gone. 1183 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,000 I highly doubt that. 1184 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,600 Just they're going to be saved the day. 1185 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,160 I highly doubt that. 1186 00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:02,760 And the next thing we see, did it go from that to the lighting of the the I think it 1187 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,040 went from that to the lighting of the the forge. 1188 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,040 Right. 1189 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:08,040 Yeah. 1190 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,720 So they basically the reformation of Mandalore, Mandalore. 1191 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:11,720 Yeah. 1192 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:16,720 So the coming together of the two clans, the Dark Watch and the, you know, and children 1193 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:17,720 of whatever. 1194 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,920 And yeah, the Mandalore offshoot, the heretics or whatever. 1195 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:26,160 And then and then the next thing we see is we see after the battle, the Mandalorians 1196 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,480 restart the great forge, the heart of Mandalore and Jiren formally. 1197 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,560 OK, so so I want to talk about this. 1198 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,840 This is this is the scene that that that I loved. 1199 00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:43,160 OK, so after they relight the forge, they go down to where Bo Katan and Jiren washed 1200 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,520 themselves in the in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. 1201 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,840 No, and in the pancakes in the living waters of the Mandalorian. 1202 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:52,840 The minds of Mandalore. 1203 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:53,840 OK. 1204 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,040 And we see that mythos or I. 1205 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,040 Yeah. 1206 00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,040 Well, come on, man. 1207 00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,040 Give me a second. 1208 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:00,040 Sorry. 1209 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,640 So the youngling that we see who like the one who gets bested by Grogu, he gives he takes 1210 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,560 his vows in the fucking water. 1211 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:12,880 This is and then and then we see Jiren bring down Grogu and they're like, well, Grogu cannot 1212 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,080 take the vow because he cannot speak. 1213 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:16,080 He's too young. 1214 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:17,080 He battles, though. 1215 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:18,080 Yeah. 1216 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,080 But what about his? 1217 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,080 What if his parents say that he can? 1218 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,120 And they're like, well, his parents are not here. 1219 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,800 They're probably very far away if they're not if they're not dead. 1220 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,000 And he goes, what if I adopt him? 1221 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:32,400 And in that moment and they call Grogu Din Grogu. 1222 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,720 And I lost it. 1223 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,400 Yeah, I fucking lost it, man. 1224 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,840 I'm like, it's not thinking, man. 1225 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,360 He's dead. 1226 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,360 And I lost it. 1227 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,920 I was I was it was like six in the morning and I'm watching this episode and I'm like 1228 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,440 crying on the couch in the dark. 1229 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:53,160 I mean, think about where where Dindran started in season one. 1230 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:59,400 A lowly bounty hunter just making his way through the outer town, walking, walking fast, 1231 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,120 faces past its homebound. 1232 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:07,080 But now and like and even at the time, although he didn't want to kill Grogu, he saw this 1233 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:13,180 as just a means to get it, get some more credits or to do a job. 1234 01:01:13,180 --> 01:01:16,800 And now he truly I mean, for a while we've known this, but he truly cares about Grogu 1235 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,800 as one of his own. 1236 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:18,800 He loves him. 1237 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:19,800 He loves him. 1238 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:20,800 Yeah, I fucking love him. 1239 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,260 And of course, not the Jedi. 1240 01:01:22,260 --> 01:01:23,260 They can have attachments. 1241 01:01:23,260 --> 01:01:24,260 Exactly. 1242 01:01:24,260 --> 01:01:25,260 Yeah. 1243 01:01:25,260 --> 01:01:26,260 Like sand. 1244 01:01:26,260 --> 01:01:27,260 You can like sand if you want. 1245 01:01:27,260 --> 01:01:29,260 Yeah, of course. 1246 01:01:29,260 --> 01:01:32,140 And then, you know, of course, as we keep going, we see the rebuild I.G. 1247 01:01:32,140 --> 01:01:36,040 Eleven, who becomes kind of like the marshal of Navarro. 1248 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:37,240 That was great. 1249 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:43,040 You've got Dindran basically saying going up to Carson Teva and saying, hey, listen, 1250 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,560 I will work for the New Republic with I want to be a contrary. 1251 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,200 He said he even says he want to I want to be like a contractor for the New Republic. 1252 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,600 Like I'll do shit, but on my terms. 1253 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:53,600 Right. 1254 01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:58,520 And then, you know, you see that Navarro or you see the Dindran gets his own little house 1255 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,680 on the outskirts of Navarro, which is pretty cool. 1256 01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,880 So from grief cargo, car weather. 1257 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,760 So yeah, no, it was a great finale. 1258 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,560 I think you were talking earlier about your favorite episode. 1259 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,340 I think the finale is probably my favorite episode. 1260 01:02:09,340 --> 01:02:14,560 It's probably kind of a great tie, a little tie, but a little bow tie at the end of the 1261 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,040 series, and it kind of opens things up for whatever they want to do next. 1262 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,920 I mean, Mandalore is back in full power. 1263 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,000 You've got Dindran and Grogu together once again. 1264 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,960 And they basically said that the next season is probably going to be just again, more of 1265 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,660 an adventure based season. 1266 01:02:29,660 --> 01:02:33,800 So I assume that there's going to be more, you know, self-contained episodes with maybe 1267 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:40,400 an overall function and overall like bad baddie, who I think, you know, we'll see because with 1268 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:45,880 Ahsoka coming out, crispy Moff Gideon, yeah, crispy Moff Gideon with, you know, extra crispy. 1269 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:46,880 Yeah. 1270 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:51,880 So, yeah, just man, I think it bleeds into, we should probably just go into our final 1271 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:53,560 thoughts because I think this kind of bleeds into that. 1272 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,080 And I'll kind of give mine off the top here. 1273 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,080 I was going to ask that. 1274 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,080 Give me yours first. 1275 01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:58,080 Yeah. 1276 01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,080 I mean, it's good. 1277 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,920 It's like you said, I think you guys can tell from our review here, everyone listening right 1278 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,800 now that we liked it. 1279 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:04,800 I really liked it. 1280 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:09,960 I think it's something that the Mandalorian is my favorite sector of Star Wars right now. 1281 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:15,160 Like it gives me a lot what I want all that to be said, though, this season felt like 1282 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,640 a slight departure from what I generally love of Mandalorian. 1283 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,080 And you kind of you said that it kind of gets back to it. 1284 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,640 I feel like it's straight so far from what makes the Mandalorian, especially season one, 1285 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:30,480 so great that it's almost the identity is completely gone, like from what it used to 1286 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,480 be like. 1287 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:35,200 But again, if we're getting back into that, if they had to tell the story with Bo Katan 1288 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,200 and with Moff Gideon and kind of tie all those bows to, you know, that there's a pun 1289 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,800 right there with Bo has to tie all those bows, you know, all together and be good to go and 1290 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:49,680 have Grogu Din, Din, Grogu and Dinger in back together, just kind of doing their thing on 1291 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:50,680 the outer rim. 1292 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:51,680 Cool. 1293 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:52,680 I'm all about it. 1294 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:57,040 But season three for me is probably I would say probably my least favorite of the three. 1295 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,040 But that's not really saying I mean, I still liked it. 1296 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:00,640 So what about you, Aaron? 1297 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:01,640 I loved it. 1298 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:02,640 I think I'm great. 1299 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:07,240 Once again, I'm grateful for what we have here, the show and discussing these things 1300 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:12,680 because I think discussing this show in depth, the season in depth has really shown me how 1301 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,480 much I really enjoyed it. 1302 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:21,380 And so, yeah, I think I think this might very, very close to almost a tie, like very slightly 1303 01:04:21,380 --> 01:04:25,600 below season one, but well above season two. 1304 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,880 OK, even more so than that weird CGI version of Luke Skywalker. 1305 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:30,880 You know, yeah. 1306 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,840 Yeah, yeah, I'll say yeah. 1307 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:37,440 Because it was I mean, again, that was a very cool, unexpected surprise. 1308 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,200 And the fact that we'll never get that back. 1309 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,200 Right. 1310 01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,200 All right. 1311 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:42,680 Well, that'll do it for our review of the manual and let's go. 1312 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:43,680 Excuse me. 1313 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:44,680 The Mandalorian season three. 1314 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,200 Let's go ahead and rate this thing out of five David A. 1315 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,200 Winer's. 1316 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:48,200 Of course, David A. 1317 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,680 Winer being documentarian, director, producer, writer. 1318 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,720 He deserves a Mandalorian sound. 1319 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:54,720 He should. 1320 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,240 He should get one of these David A. 1321 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,520 Winer out of five David A. 1322 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:00,520 Winer's. 1323 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,320 Aaron, what are you going to give the Mandalorian season three? 1324 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:03,320 Four. 1325 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:04,320 Four David A. 1326 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,320 Winer's. 1327 01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:06,320 That's your first four in a while, I think. 1328 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:07,320 Right. 1329 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,320 Yeah. 1330 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,320 Yeah. 1331 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,320 Wow. 1332 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,320 OK, I'm going to give it a three point five. 1333 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:12,320 I think it's pretty good. 1334 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,920 Again, I find it's it's not it's not fine. 1335 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:15,920 It's fun. 1336 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:16,920 I think it's fun. 1337 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,040 It's just it's slightly above fine and right. 1338 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:21,040 Right. 1339 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,040 The first stage of fun. 1340 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:23,040 And it's recommendable. 1341 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,320 Of course, if you're a fan of this series, we're not telling if you're if you're listening 1342 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:27,800 to this, you've already seen season three. 1343 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,000 So we're not telling you anything you don't already know. 1344 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:35,400 But it's it's another great entry into the Mandalorian series. 1345 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,120 So stretched and hurt myself. 1346 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,120 This is the pain of getting old. 1347 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,560 Everyone at home, don't get old. 1348 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,640 If you can help it, don't get old. 1349 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:46,880 And in a way to fight getting old, I think I think one of the best ways to get to kind 1350 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:51,600 of keep yourself young and fresh is to go on a journey with us here on the Ablobby bar 1351 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,800 into Aaron's Arcade. 1352 01:05:55,800 --> 01:06:02,400 It's time for Aaron's Arcade. 1353 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,400 What a beautiful segue. 1354 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,200 We're getting good at it. 1355 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,440 You are just a wordsmith, my friend. 1356 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,200 You have such a beautiful mouth. 1357 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,080 You want would say that I am in on Aaron's Arcade. 1358 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:16,540 All right. 1359 01:06:16,540 --> 01:06:17,920 So welcome to Aaron's Arcade. 1360 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,560 It's my five to plus minutes. 1361 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,400 I'm just talking about whatever the hell I want. 1362 01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:28,160 And usually it's video games, but today we're going to do a nice little mux, you know, because 1363 01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,360 I'm in it. 1364 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,720 So as I've talked about before, I went to Megacon. 1365 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:38,200 Chris is supposed to be there, but he is he was unable to do to sickness, cancers and 1366 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,920 such just the things. 1367 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,600 And so when I was there, you know, I took Chris's lead. 1368 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:44,600 I discussed it. 1369 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,260 We discussed it many times on the grid and in the arcade. 1370 01:06:47,260 --> 01:06:49,880 And we talked about what I should take to Megacon. 1371 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:57,000 Chris, you remember how many things I was torn with taking and 20 copies, 20 different 1372 01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:02,680 comics, things and majority of them were for Mirka and Dalfo. 1373 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,600 Very, very famed, talented Italian artist slash writer. 1374 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:07,600 Yes. 1375 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,040 Who is amazing. 1376 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:10,040 Her art is amazing. 1377 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,040 I love her art style. 1378 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:12,040 Spicy. 1379 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:13,080 It's some of it's spicy. 1380 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,340 Some of it's just normal. 1381 01:07:15,340 --> 01:07:17,240 But I had I got to speak to her. 1382 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,400 I got to speak to her husband, who is a really nice guy. 1383 01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:21,880 Just got the and I got a sketch. 1384 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:26,320 I got my first ever commission and I got it back. 1385 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:33,120 It's a nine point six, but it's just it's so Aaron's holding up in a natural blue blood 1386 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,160 sketch and yeah, it's awesome. 1387 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,040 It is my first sketch, my first commission ever. 1388 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:39,880 And I'm super happy with it. 1389 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:40,880 I love it. 1390 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,120 It was it was it was such an experience. 1391 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,920 The first time I saw it, I like I teared up because I just I was like, oh my God, this 1392 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,880 is mine and that's a really cool experience getting a commission from one of your favorite 1393 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:50,880 artists. 1394 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:51,880 I cannot wait for the next time. 1395 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:52,880 I cannot wait. 1396 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:59,800 But the other things that I got back that I wanted to show you were I got Jay Anacletos 1397 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:00,800 this predator predator. 1398 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:01,800 Yeah, that's that. 1399 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,000 And that's a nine point six there. 1400 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,400 And we talked about this, Aaron does nine point six is in CDC are a real a real I mean, 1401 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,300 I think six is still a high grade. 1402 01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:14,020 But like for a modern comic that you get signed, you're like, come on, man, like what's crazy 1403 01:08:14,020 --> 01:08:15,020 though? 1404 01:08:15,020 --> 01:08:19,040 It's like I got some back. 1405 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,760 I have some back that should not have been a nine point eight. 1406 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,640 Like clearly they should not be a nine point eight. 1407 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:31,360 But and like the only the only other one I wanted to show you was I actually sent all 1408 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:32,360 these to you. 1409 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:33,640 So you saw I've seen all of them. 1410 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:34,640 Yeah. 1411 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,320 If you want to if you want pictures of these, everyone listening right now, of course, we'll 1412 01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:38,320 post them. 1413 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:39,320 If you ask, we will put them up. 1414 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:40,320 Patreon. 1415 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,060 A lot of times we post stuff like that on Patreon. 1416 01:08:42,060 --> 01:08:45,740 So if you want to see that, Patreon.com for slash will be more fun. 1417 01:08:45,740 --> 01:08:47,200 This was absolutely my favorite. 1418 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:55,040 Just this Captain America, Cap Wolf in uncivil war that American Dolph, American Dolph. 1419 01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:59,800 It's Captain America as a wolf, like a wolf man homage to the 1980s. 1420 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:03,760 Of course, when Cap Wolf first premiered in the comics, very famed. 1421 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:08,280 It's almost like Bambasic Bambasic, Batman, like that kind of like weird departure from 1422 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:09,280 a character. 1423 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:10,280 Yeah. 1424 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:11,280 Yeah. 1425 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:15,040 So the next thing I want to talk about is I'm still playing Mighty Doom on the phone, 1426 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,080 like just like on my mobile devices. 1427 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,200 So if you haven't checked it out, make sure you guys give that a check real quick, especially 1428 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,000 if you're a fan of of the Doom franchise. 1429 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:29,760 Again, I don't pay anything when I play like a like a mobile game and I haven't paid anything 1430 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:30,760 in this game. 1431 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,420 I'm still having a great time. 1432 01:09:32,420 --> 01:09:37,760 So I highly recommend that if you're looking for a quick, you know, game to play when you're 1433 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:43,880 on the can taking a poopy, just pull out some some doom, Mighty Doom and just, you know, 1434 01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:45,800 rip and tear until it is done. 1435 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:46,800 And we mean it done. 1436 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,240 I mean, you're number two saying that. 1437 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:55,440 Let's go into my favorite section of this show, which, oh my God, is getting so nerdy. 1438 01:09:55,440 --> 01:09:56,440 You fucking weeb. 1439 01:09:56,440 --> 01:10:01,120 Let's go into Chris's corner. 1440 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:09,480 It's time for Chris's corner. 1441 01:10:09,480 --> 01:10:13,160 Alrighty this week for Chris's Corner, as we kind of teased earlier, I generally talk 1442 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,960 about comics during Chris's Corner or movies or television series. 1443 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:20,680 But this week we're going to be talking about an anime and Aaron and I we've talked about 1444 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:21,680 often. 1445 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:22,680 Aaron's more of the anime guy. 1446 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,800 I like anime, but I'm kind of a passive fan. 1447 01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:25,800 I like a lot of the big ones. 1448 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:31,400 You know, your your Pokemon's your Dragon Balls, your Yu-Gi-Oh's and One Punch Man's 1449 01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:32,720 all that kind of stuff. 1450 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:36,640 But I decided to step outside of my comfort zone just a little bit and try a new thing 1451 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,360 that Aaron's been trying to get me to watch for quite a while. 1452 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:44,120 And that is My Hero Academia over on Hulu or as the weeds. 1453 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:52,040 Well, actually, well, if you're reading actual here, it's actually Boku Hero Boku No Hero 1454 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:53,480 Academia, right, Aaron? 1455 01:10:53,480 --> 01:10:56,600 Yes, actually, Boku No Hero. 1456 01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,840 And what's the what's the weeb? 1457 01:10:58,840 --> 01:10:59,840 We are. 1458 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:00,840 Oh, man. 1459 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:07,800 So my hero academia, this is it feels like a slam dunk idea for me. 1460 01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,800 Everyone knows I love superheroes and I love comics. 1461 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,400 My Hero Academia, of course, was a shone and jump manga for a very long time. 1462 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,920 I think there's 37 volumes of My Hero Academia. 1463 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:23,280 And of course, now it's a very successful, very popular show or anime. 1464 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:24,280 Very popular. 1465 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,760 So if you're not familiar with My Hero Academia, and I wasn't until here recently, let me go 1466 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,460 and give you a little synopsis here. 1467 01:11:29,460 --> 01:11:33,640 So in a world where most of the population is gifted with special powers known as quirks, 1468 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:38,320 Azuka Midoriya is a young boy who always dreamed of becoming a hero despite not having a quirk 1469 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:43,380 himself until one day he is attacked by a villain made of sludge and is rescued by none 1470 01:11:43,380 --> 01:11:47,760 other than All Might, the most famous hero ever and his idol since childhood. 1471 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,920 And I even put the plus ultra because that's at the end of every episode. 1472 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:57,720 So I am currently on episode 12, which is ironically named All Might, where All Might's 1473 01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:58,720 arrival to the USJ. 1474 01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,200 OK, this is a slight spoiler. 1475 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,280 If you've not seen My Hero Academia thus far, I'm not very far. 1476 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,200 I'm only up to episode 12. 1477 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:09,780 And the show kind of moves kind of somewhat slowly as most animes do. 1478 01:12:09,780 --> 01:12:11,080 Like it's only 30 minutes. 1479 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:16,320 And a lot of times you've got like a 12 minute long intro and outro on both ends. 1480 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,160 And there's like a break in between a lot of, you know, I'm a Hulu subscriber, but I have 1481 01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:24,560 the commercial version, so I still get commercials, which is annoying. 1482 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:30,560 But up to this point, All Might has, you know, he arrives at the USJ where the League of 1483 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,240 Villains are attacking the school. 1484 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:39,320 And I'm going to say this name wrong, but Tamura Sigeraki unleashes a secret weapon, 1485 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,360 the multi-quirk monster known as NOMO against All Might. 1486 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:47,920 After All Might looks to be defeated, Azuku, Kasuki, and a couple of the other students 1487 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,240 come to All Might's aid against the League of Villains. 1488 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:52,240 So pretty cool stuff. 1489 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:58,480 Of course, All Might in the series kind of has like a spawn power where he only has like 1490 01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:01,440 a, he has a time limit to how, when he can be, when he can be All Might and when he can 1491 01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:04,600 be his normal self because he's been injured in battle. 1492 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,240 Basically and the only person that knows that is Azuku. 1493 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:12,400 And he, so Azuku basically gets into fight and as soon as he gets into the fight with 1494 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:18,640 NOMO, his arch rival in the series, Kasuki comes in with a couple other students and 1495 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:19,840 they try to help out All Might. 1496 01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,400 So I'm really enjoying it. 1497 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,040 I really liked the series thus far. 1498 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:28,000 I kind of, it's almost like making me want to invest in Hulu plus or whatever, whatever 1499 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,440 the non-commercial version is, because I feel like I'm not getting through it very quickly 1500 01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:36,380 because I'm breaking again constantly for you, the intro, the three minute commercial 1501 01:13:36,380 --> 01:13:39,600 break in the middle, and then the 12 minute outro as well. 1502 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,220 Cause that's all anime is. 1503 01:13:41,220 --> 01:13:43,720 So Aaron, great recommendation. 1504 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:44,720 I really like it. 1505 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,400 And everyone out there, if you have like even a slight interest in anime or manga, definitely 1506 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:53,760 check out My Hero Academia or again, as the Weaves call it, Boku no Hero Academia. 1507 01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:58,520 That's the one thing that I love about, about My Hero is the fact that it's most of the 1508 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:03,840 time you have this like story where you're, you're following a main character or a group 1509 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,360 of characters and like they're on their journey to figure out like, am I a good guy? 1510 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,520 Am I a bad guy? 1511 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:10,520 Like what is my journey? 1512 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:11,800 Like where am I going? 1513 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:16,780 Like the best example I can give is Full Metal Alchemist. 1514 01:14:16,780 --> 01:14:19,040 You know, they're on a journey. 1515 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,080 You know they're good guys. 1516 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,080 They've made mistakes, but there's just so much going on in the world. 1517 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,360 It's like sometimes you have to like blur that line between good and evil. 1518 01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:33,440 Whereas in My Hero, you know exactly like these are hero students, like they're the 1519 01:14:33,440 --> 01:14:37,680 good guys and you just root for them to get better or to be the best they can be. 1520 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:42,960 And I just think that that's a phenomenal, just different look at like a character development 1521 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:47,000 when you know they're a good person and they're just doing their best and they have to learn 1522 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,680 to make it to those different levels. 1523 01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:52,960 And I just, I thought, I think it's such a great, a great concept for a show and I've 1524 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,080 enjoyed watching all of it as well. 1525 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,560 Well, and it's also these are, gotta remember these are kids. 1526 01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:58,560 Yeah. 1527 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,000 So remember what you were like at 10 years old, right? 1528 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,720 Like imagine being a 10 year old with these powers and you just want to make it. 1529 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,760 You don't, a lot of times you don't even care like how you make it. 1530 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:09,760 Yeah. 1531 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:13,360 For instance, like his rival in this, in the show, and I'm so sorry, I'm still trying to 1532 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:19,600 learn names here, but Katsuki, he like just wants to be recognized as powerful and I don't 1533 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:23,860 know this yet, but I assume he's going to go down a path of probably evil at some point 1534 01:15:23,860 --> 01:15:27,080 or maybe slight, maybe not totally good. 1535 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,480 So yeah, I'm like I said, I'm enjoying it. 1536 01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:30,480 I'm going to keep watching it. 1537 01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:34,360 Of course, I'll keep you guys updated on my progress as we go. 1538 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,520 And yeah, my hero academia, that'll do it for Christmas corner. 1539 01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:41,600 And Aaron, I think that'll probably do it for episode one 16 of the oblivion bar podcast. 1540 01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:42,600 We've done it once again. 1541 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:48,640 I want to say that for everyone keeping track at home, we did not talk to Kevin Smith on 1542 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,920 this episode and we're not sure if we will. 1543 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,340 The guy is extremely busy. 1544 01:15:53,340 --> 01:15:55,080 Of course he's doing a lot of things. 1545 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:59,080 We don't hold that against him, but if we can get him on the show, we will and we'll 1546 01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,360 keep you guys updated if and when that happens. 1547 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,400 If not, honestly, Aaron, as much as it saddens me to say this, this will probably be our 1548 01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,800 last episode for a while. 1549 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:12,480 Of course, many people who have been keeping track, I found out that I have stage three 1550 01:16:12,480 --> 01:16:16,240 colon cancer and I have surgery coming up in two weeks. 1551 01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:20,000 So if we don't get that conversation with Kevin Smith, maybe we do another one. 1552 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:21,000 Maybe we stop at one 17. 1553 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,880 Well, obviously Aaron and I will talk about it and figure it out. 1554 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:28,940 But as of right now, this will be our last episode until after I recover from surgery. 1555 01:16:28,940 --> 01:16:33,260 So yeah, as much as I don't want to take a break, I do not want the quality of the oblivion 1556 01:16:33,260 --> 01:16:34,820 bar to ever suffer. 1557 01:16:34,820 --> 01:16:40,180 And if I'm recovering from that, I just don't think that we can keep up with everything 1558 01:16:40,180 --> 01:16:42,360 and we will live stream his surgery, though. 1559 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:46,100 Yes, Aaron will be there and he will be live streaming the entire thing on Twitch. 1560 01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:49,720 So make sure you subscribe to better actions on Twitch. 1561 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:51,840 It's not happening. 1562 01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:52,840 But yeah, no. 1563 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,640 So I'm glad that this was a great this. 1564 01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:56,640 I think this is a great episode. 1565 01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:00,120 I'm glad that we're stopping at this one if if you have of course, Kevin can't come on 1566 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:01,120 the show. 1567 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,360 But but yeah, that'll do it for episode one 16. 1568 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,240 Aaron, why don't you go and take us out of here? 1569 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:06,240 Absolutely. 1570 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,320 Subscribe to our podcast, Apple Podcast, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Podcast, Amazon, Amazon Music
