Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, noise in the basement Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, yeah, yeah Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by 3Chi and Barstool Sports and the Book of Boba Fett finale edition of My Mom's Basement. We're closing the Book of Boba fett for now we might reopen it at some point but for now it's closed uh we're gonna reopen a obi-wan kenobi book very shortly
Starting point is 00:00:52 because it was announced this week that that show is coming may 25th on disney plus that's gonna be a six episode limited series um clem what did you think of the finale coming right back from la by the way shout out to clem took a six hour of the finale? Coming right back from LA, by the way. Shout out to Clem. Took a six-hour flight cross-country, hopped right back down into the basement when he got home. Came home, gave my kids their souvenirs from LA, and then just went right into the literal basement of my house to get this done. The people are demanding it.
Starting point is 00:01:18 I've seen a lot of opinions, loud, good or bad, whatever it may be. And people on YouTube would see, I was looking for a book to actually close here and say we have closed the book on the book of boba fett with the magazine of the mandalorian with a bunch of just weird shit along the way this is a very interesting this is i think the most interesting series i think we've we've reca recapped Bob. Cause it was so different. So I don't know if the word is uneven disjointed. And I think, I think that's Robert Rodriguez's style.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I haven't watched a lot of Robert Rodriguez's stuff, so I may not be used to it, but then you add in that, like we just had two episodes of a completely different show to go along the way. And if you go back to the last episode where we said how are they going to wrap this all up and we didn't know if they would and if it would kind of just transition to mando 3 they pretty much wrapped up everything as well
Starting point is 00:02:14 as they could i'm not going to say i loved it i'm not even going to say i i particularly like the book of boba fett and i am going to say the the highlight for me of the book of Boba Fett was when he sat on the throne at the end of the man. And listen, I am not including the Mandalorian magazine as part of the book. I'm saying for Boba Fett, I just think Boba Fett had kind of a rough run here when it's all said and done. I didn't dislike it, but it's like, oh, it was all right. I just think we came in with high expectations. and if we look back and we re-watch it again it's like i don't really know if if all the points landed i think especially this episode i think it's a nice piece of artwork but i if you like read everything that happened
Starting point is 00:02:55 you're like that's fucking awesome and then you see the way everything happened and you're like i don't really know if the the ends and the were, you know, on the same page there. So that was just my review for at least this episode and a series as a whole. I'm going to have to think I was going to say a fast food item. That's our movie reviews. I have to think maybe we'll go with a snack at the end of this to decide. Oh, I thought of a fast food item. Did you?
Starting point is 00:03:18 Oh, even better. Yeah. Yeah. I thought of one for it. I prepped it. What would you rate this on our baseball scale? Okay. So this episode, are we talking the series?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Just the finale. Just the finale? This one I was trying. I'm trying not to be too tough on it because I do – okay. Ball was hit. The guy ended up on second. There was an error on the way. There might have been a booted ball.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I was trying to think of like catcher's interference. I'm trying to think of like baseball terms that are out of the blue. Maybe like an error, a pop fly or something like a sacrifice fly. It's definitely, it was not clean. The result is done. We have now an entire jumping off point for Mando, for Baby Yo, for a bunch of the different characters we met this season already knew. So I think there is a good place to go.
Starting point is 00:04:03 There's a man in scoring position, but he got in scoring you're and the thing is you look in the box score in the morning and the newspaper if you everyone even reads newspapers anymore you're like all right he did he did his job there but anyone who watched i think a lot of people watch it'll be like we could have had more because i think if you hear our excitement in the first episode of this series i don't think it's going to match at least my excitement by the end of the series so that's kind of my take i would call it a triple myself this was a very very good finale in my eyes but not one where it blew my mind in a way where i was like i can't believe what we got this week i felt like the penultimate episode actually blew my mind more than the finale didn't maybe that was by design maybe they're building up the penultimates like Game of Thrones,
Starting point is 00:04:45 but it felt like this was the war. This was the big culmination. And before we go any further, I want to remind everybody about our presenting sponsor. It's 3G, of course. They are the industry leader in Delta 8 THC. They have a ton of Delta 8 THC products. They've got vapes, edibles, gummies, and more on their website.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It is the best in the business. I tell you this every single week. They created this industry. All of their products are formulated by a biochemist made in the USA with USA grown hemp, and this is a federally legal version of THC. It's a much more functional alternative to marijuana. You could fly with it. It gives you an amazing buzz and a great body feel, but with a much clearer head and less anxiety and paranoia than typical marijuana strains would give you. And it's available online at 3chi.com. That's the number three, chi.com and at retailers around the country. Remember it's not CBD. It is psychoactive. It will give you buzz. It's going to make you high. So use it responsibly. They've got Delta eight drink mixes. Now you
Starting point is 00:05:44 could mix them in they got pink lemonade flavors the tangerine lime flavors they don't recommend you use them with alcohol so keep that in mind but go to their website take a gander take a look around and use that promo code basement basement for five percent off your purchase you must be 21 or older to purchase use this responsibly but use it and then watch your episodes of the Book of Boba Fett, because I promise you, from personal experience, it goes well together. I really liked Book of Boba Fett. I would go as far as saying I loved a lot of aspects of the show, but I do hear some of the criticisms. And when people say,
Starting point is 00:06:19 did Boba Fett become cooler or less cool because we got to see all of him in this? And I don't think the answer is cooler. Like, I don't know if the answer is necessarily less cool, less mysterious, but I don't think he after watching Book of Boba Fett, you're like, he's even more badass than we thought he was. It's like in a lot of ways, he was that bumbling idiot that got sent off the sail barge and, you know, into the Sarlacc and then to the mouth of the Sarlacc. I get it now. I get how that happened, but in a lot of ways, it also opened up the character in giving him depth that I enjoyed.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I liked the Tuscan stuff. I liked the stuff about finding a tribe. I liked, I liked the stuff about wanting to rule with respect instead of fear. Although I also understand the criticisms where people were like is he really a crime leader if like he doesn't handle any crime in this episode they're like hey how about you shut down the spice trade forever aka shut down drug deals forever he was like yes we have to do that they're killing our people and mando was even like all right like i that's what i pitched but man i didn't think i was gonna get that i feel like that's a great way to put it his biggest
Starting point is 00:07:30 thing he did was just trying to kill all the other crime lords which is kind of a cop yeah he's cut boba fett's a fucking cop kind of a narc he's he's a real narc he's and like like bounty hunting i understand is kind of could be in the same elk as like law enforcement like dog the bounty hunter he's like catching down he's hunting down criminals right that makes sense but at the same point yeah this this feels very copy i shit boba fett's a fucking cop that's like 21 jump street when he approaches the mod gang he's like hello fellow kids and they're like this fucking guy said mark we're not you, bro. I feel like it was like the book of Tamora Morrison. And again, Boba Fett to me was always the guy with the cool name, the cool armor, outwitted Han Solo on the biggest of stages in one of the greatest movies ever.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And then all he did from the time the credits rolled in Empire like man we are down bad this boba feck guy is gonna be a problem for us and then we see him in fucking jabba's palace and then it was nothing but else from there on out we talked about a million times the jet pack like you said right into the sarlacc's mouth the flashback the tank had us all confused the the tuscan right like even the stuff they did good i didn't feel satisfied because it either was disjointed in terms of when we got it or like it didn't feel like the payoff was really worthy of like the amount of time we spent with them to like the change of him i was even thinking like we got seven episodes of this what a weird seven episodes we don't get
Starting point is 00:08:59 seven episodes it's usually an even number right why didn't they and maybe this is it was disjointed and they did the best they could with what they filmed why didn't they like give us an extra i don't know 15 minutes onto two of the earlier episodes and spread that out and gave us six episodes i feel like it would have been a better six episode series doing the early stuff with boba and the tuscans like kind of getting it out of the way in more one episode than stretching it out yeah i think you could have done six or you even could have done eight and you kind of getting it out of the way in more one episode than stretching it out. Yeah. I think you could have done six or you even could have done eight. And he kind of like, it just felt like it felt like that.
Starting point is 00:09:30 The, like the, the battle was never ending, but it did feel like it was almost like, I was like, all right, like let's, let's start getting some meat on this shit here.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And then maybe if they had had time to kind of flesh out the Mando stuff, flesh out the Tusken Raider stuff. So six or eight, again, I'm not even going to hold that hope for, I don't want my bonus episode to be on the book of boba fett no no disrespect boba but when i get that fucking bonus episode from disney plus i don't want it to be for you if you tell me it's a mando episode i'm cool with it um but i i i think like the biggest loser i think boba's a loser in this because in terms of the whole series just because I think people are going to be like,
Starting point is 00:10:05 you got cucked on your own show. And listen, you said it last night in the spaces perfectly. I am not one of those people who's like, the Book of Boba Fett's not good because Mandalorian had the best episodes. If you consider the Mandalorian episodes as part of the Book of Boba Fett, the Book of Boba Fett was a great series. I'm talking from Boba's point of view. It just didn't match my
Starting point is 00:10:25 expectations and it kind of hurts a guy who was so cool but then it kind of like just fell down that fucking like jeff d lowe used to always call him out he's like boba fett is like the most glorified loser and he really did nothing to stop that like and and he came in mandalorian he was awesome in season two and i feel like we just he just really lost it there um and then robert rodriguez like there's gonna be certain people that no one's gonna want to see like i don't want to see ryan johnson touch a star wars project again i really don't want to see robert rodriguez such a star and i'm almost like you almost should have to do like two episodes of a star wars tv show before they even think of giving you like an entire series or a movie.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Right. I think that has to be like the new rule. And like Bryce Dallas Howard, everything, everything. Yeah. Give her whatever she wants. And by the way,
Starting point is 00:11:12 speaking of all these great Star Wars creators, we have a new shirt out, a Favreau Filoni 24 shirt. This thing is absolute fire flames. If you watch peacemaker, you know, there's a little dialogue about what's your favorite color is your favorite color teal.
Starting point is 00:11:25 We got some teal for the teal lovers on this t-shirt. It's awesome font, kind of star Warsy font. We get the star Warsy numbers on it. I think it's an awesome shirt. So get that shirt. I'll put the link in the description of the YouTube video or the, even the podcast that you're listening to like the video.
Starting point is 00:11:40 If you're watching us on YouTube, give us a rating. If you're watching on Spotify or iTunes, that really does help out. And I think without further ado, we should get into this episode because there is a lot to talk about. I'm going to say I have a note here. Say something nice
Starting point is 00:11:54 about the book of Boba Fett before you get into the recap. So I'm going to say three nice things about it right here. Okay? Okay, yeah. Great song. Great song. Yeah. And it's not the Mando song. It's the Boba song. Great song. Mando had some pretty fucking the Mando song. It's the Boba song. Great song. Mando had some pretty fucking, Mando had some of his best moments in the entire,
Starting point is 00:12:09 you know, his entire run as a character in Boba show. That counts for something. And he made lizard drugs kind of cool. I didn't, I never thought I'd want to do lizard drugs. I kind of want to fuck with lizard drugs. That was cool.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I liked lizard drugs. Yeah. I will say, I don't think there was one episode that I didn't like as a whole like at least in every single episode we got something that i liked at least yes part of it one scene one aspect of it and that was part of the issue is it's disjointed in that way like we said like maybe you're only liking one thing from it the episode where they introduced the spy kids i felt like we were more like oh we liked all the rancor stuff in that episode like it was more of that it felt more star warsy so it's like yeah every episode at least had
Starting point is 00:12:50 something redeemable about it i would love like if like a oral history or whatever of this comes out and like we find out this was originally like a five episode series and then they like then we just shot two mandalorian episodes and we just had to just throw it in to make it better i doubt you like hilarious thing like baloney fucking finally admits it like on his deathbed you know years from now he's like yeah we knew that shit sucked so we had to kind of throw some some mando in there um and i i saw this on twitter i had a shot at sky eric said it he goes it felt like it fell victim to the wandavision syndrome where we started a little bit you know broadcasting our desires and shit like that or we thought was going to happen and for one reason or another what didn't show up or what you know
Starting point is 00:13:30 what fell flat is what we remember more so than like the good moments like you said every episode like there we're pretty fair here there was no episode where just like that was a waste of 40 minutes you know it never really was like that no and speaking of the episode speaking of things we wanted to come true that we got coming true when you booted up disney plus at three in the morning or at midnight on the west coast where you were we got to see that this was one hour long it was over an hour and that was the first thing that we said okay the finale has to be at least an hour if we boot it up and see 59 minutes we're going to be disappointed but we didn't it's over an hour and it's called in the name of honor we open in a destroyed sanctuary with boba fennec and mando this really reminded me of mando season one when moth gideon cornered them in that bar
Starting point is 00:14:16 and they were kind of like stuck and they were all hiding out and stuff mando comes back he says freetown has agreed as long as boba shuts down the spice trade as i mentioned boba's like absolutely we have to do that uh people are dying basically he mentions like the star wars galaxy has an opioid crisis and the mods tell boba we're not leaving this bar he's like how about we go back to jabba's palace regroup well it's not really jabba's palace anymore my palace we regroup and the mods say we're not leaving the people of mosas but need us they need us here and this is probably the most safe place for us anyway, now that we're cornered. So he's like, all right, fuck. Cad Bane meets with Mok Shais, the mayor who has come back to
Starting point is 00:14:54 Tatooine and the Pike syndicate. And we learned in this conversation. Pussy neck. And I actually, my note here, I wrote Mok shies is a pussy because we learned that the pikes killed the tuscans and then mock shies is like and by the way like i didn't authorize any bombs in the sanctuary we need to wrap this up quick bro you fucking went to war and now you're gonna start complaining about like a bomb went off in a bar fuck off that's like the person that starts the water gun fight and then the guy starts you know one of the people use the hose you can't use those yo we're in a water gun war right now motherfucker you started a fight now it's a war you don't get to say no bombs no explosives what the fucking pussy pussy neck pussy attitude pussy
Starting point is 00:15:35 like just mayor pussy with his shitty ass ass at assistant i hate that guy can't believe he didn't die um also i kind of wanted the mods to be like, listen, we're staying at the bar. Because, like, doesn't everyone just, like, if you went into a restaurant and you know the people, like, there's no one stopping you, I would just drink. I'd fire up the fryer. We'd get some wings. Like, you get some restaurant-quality food. You get some good drinks. You get some fucking blue milk, like, cocktails and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It would have been funny if they went back to the fridge, like, let's see what they got. Did anything survive the explosion? Can we have another moment of silence for Madam Flip, by the way? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Rest in peace. Great character, great character. She didn't deserve to die the way she did. Cad says,
Starting point is 00:16:19 I've got an idea to draw Boba Fett out and we get the title card at that moment. So it's like, oh shit, alright. Cad and Boba were going gonna get that confrontation in this episode we see an x-wing fly in and it's grogu it's not luke skywalker it's r2d2 your guy r2 and grogu and pelly moto is the one where it flies into her kind of a little area and she's like oh my god did you learn how to fly this yourself and she says to one of her pitroids, I know that the astromech flew it there. Let me ask you this, Clem. What is our guy Luke Skywalker doing sending Grogu fucking USPS?
Starting point is 00:16:55 So, Bob, when I saw this happen on the big screen, I was like angry at you. For some reason, you're the proxy for Luke Skywalker because you've met Mark Hamill. He's held your arm like a lightsaber. I'm like, Bob, what the fuck is wrong with your guy here? And then I thought about it. And this is also like Baby-O, we're very protective of him, right? So it's like any time you send him just like, oh, no, walk to the river by yourself. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:17:18 Let alone halfway across the galaxy, the mid-rim, outer, I don't know what fucking rim we're in right now. And you're just sending him alone however we've said r2 he's the big shot bob ori of the of the galaxy far far away if there's there's only one being in that universe other than luke that i would want baby yo with and it's fucking r2d2 like that guy comes through every single time i had no worries in my heart so like i was mad at first and then like other than mando and luke there's no one i trust more i guess than than r2d2 to come through with it so i actually was like oddly all right with it but again like this fucking kid is being raised by the shittiest parents ever no disrespect to skywalker no disrespect mando but what the fuck
Starting point is 00:18:02 you two guys like i know he knows the force but he's still like a baby in every other, like, way he, like, lives. He's growing up, though, because they let him go in the cockpit and they weren't worried he was just going to start hitting buttons, right? Yeah, exactly. And I'm going to throw it out there right now. R2-D2 and Baby-O are the cutest combo ever. Like, those two, like, just, like, good. You want good vibes?
Starting point is 00:18:21 You just put those two together with the fucking R2 and then Baby Yo. By the way, Robert Rodriguez, I think he knew that he might not have had his fastball with this one. He turned on the cuteness on Baby Yo onto a thousand. He was making sounds I'd never heard before. They didn't even have, usually it's Grogu Coo's, Grogu does this. He was chirping at one point. I'm like, what are we doing here? It was fucking adorable man so between him and r2 together that might have that might have been
Starting point is 00:18:48 the zenith of my star wars fandom i mean merch waiting to happen is baby grogu and r2 like that's going to be in every target every disney store in the world come a couple months from now and peli moto says that she hates his name it's funny she learns the name grogu and she's like grogu that's a horrible name i'm not calling you that and that his name. It's funny. She learns the name Grogu, and she's like, Grogu, that's a horrible name. I'm not calling you that. That was meta, right? That felt meta. Yeah, nice meta line for half the fan base basically saying the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:19:12 And she says, the baby's starving. Pitroids, go whip something up for him. And they whip him up these little squid sardine looking things. I think they should have been whipping Baby Yoda up some HelloFresh. And we've got a great promo code to give all the listeners. I believe, let me see here. Yeah, it does work in Tatooine.

Starting point is 00:20:51 Not me. I'm not the one that packages these gifts. And Fennec lays out a plan. We go back to the group in the bar. She says, the Gamorreans I've sent to the starport. The mods are in the workers district and Kersantan is by city hall. Everyone splits up, watches certain areas because we don't know what these other factions are going to do right they said that they were going to have kind of a truce with us but who knows let's spread out
Starting point is 00:21:14 winds up maybe not being the best military strategy to spread out because cad bane arrives he is here to negotiate on behalf of the pike syndicate and he's here to really kind of try to draw boba fett out into a fight. He wants the violence to break out and Boba Fett to be caught with his pants down, basically, with his helmet off, maybe, in that world. I'm actually kind of surprised Boba was never literally caught with his pants down. He is a fucking awful fucking commander. That's why he wore the jumpsuit most of the time, you know? He was like, literally, I can't be caught with my pants down.
Starting point is 00:21:43 He was caught with his pants down! In the fucking back to tank! God damn it, Boba! He is the fucking... I'm like cheater. He came in like a dad running and putting on his robe like, what's the commotion? I am like getting close to just slandering Boba for the rest of this episode.
Starting point is 00:22:00 It's just so tough, man. I really wanted him to be so much cooler. he gets some badass moments in this episode just wait for the badass yeah okay okay we're recapping we're close we're real close to it he says you should have never left cobb vance without his armor freetown ain't coming and pull was like oh fuck sick line sick line sick line and he reveals the tuscan raider tidbit to draw him into fighting he's like and by the way you thought that biker gang killed your friends no it was the pike syndicate
Starting point is 00:22:30 and now he grabs the fucking gun he puts his finger on the trigger kind of look like he looks down in our where is it yes um and fennec is like boba calm down boba calm down don't do it boba come on boba this is he's trying to draw you out. This is the old you. Don't go back to the old you. You know, Bugs Bunny meme. And he takes his finger off the trigger. And he says, tell the Pykes that our negotiations are terminated.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And he keeps his cool. And Kat is like, this motherfucker. This guy's getting fucking soft in his old age. I think he says that to him. At this moment, the locals attack the mods. They attack Kersantan. They attack our guys, the Bash Bros. And this is an unfortunate moment where the Gamorreans are walked off the cliff.
Starting point is 00:23:16 The 300 style, really, they're kind of like poked off the cliff. And I said in our Twitter spaces, it almost felt like they were setting the moment up for them to like swing it around or have a triumphant save. But no, they just get poked off the cliff and they have like this terrifying, sad squeal as they fall 100 feet to their death. It was sad. So rest in peace to the Bash brothers. They didn't get their moment. I mean, Kersen, the mods, they're overwhelmed and Fennec goes off to help. But right now it does not look good for our heroes as they were saying in the previous episodes they just don't have the numbers so for anyone that ever says like oh like if we if we like ever get a prediction right it's called bob
Starting point is 00:23:54 and clem knew the spoilers and then the amount of hype we gave to these fucking gamorrean guards only to see a blow up in our face as they plummeted to their death and like a fucking it was embarrassing the way that that all played out i said they were gonna have a fucking moment during this series where it's like oh my god not only are they loyal but they came through the biggest spots like if they had like jumped off the cliff to like save everyone that would have been good that was fucking embarrassing it was the beginning of the battle and they just got fucking just tossed like fucking garbage expect too much of them i mean were we expecting you know someone to change it's like we were expecting them to be something completely different because i mean
Starting point is 00:24:32 that is kind of gamorrean guards i i guess so like again like these guys don't even deserve to get like the getting hosed down like i give them i guess i can give them credit for being loyal but it's like either be loyal or be killed, right? So I don't know. I'm starting to walk it back, and it's no longer Mark and Jose. We are changing their names retroactively. It is Dan and Ozzy. That's Mark
Starting point is 00:24:56 McGuire's brother and Jose Canseco's brother, and they both fucking stunk. I think Dan McGuire was a football player. He wasn't even a baseball player, but nonetheless, he played football because he couldn't play fucking baseball, and they both fucking stunk i think dan mcguire was a football player he wasn't my baseball but nonetheless really we played football practice he couldn't play fucking baseball and they both fucking stunk so r.i.n.p rest in no peace ozzy and dan i fucking hate you for embarrassing me in front of the listeners here and in front of my friend bob who put his fucking we all we were in this together so we both got embarrassed and it's fucking bullshit but i hate those fucking biker kids i i just wrote fuck them kids the
Starting point is 00:25:25 michael jordan meme i just don't like them i know they weren't great their bikes and jeff jeff i love this i actually got to watch it with him obviously i was with him and jeff was like he's like those goddamn bikes like the color just pisses him off so much and i know i'm like jeff he's very detailed in everything he does and that's why the dozen is such a success because jeff is so like prideful of it but like he just that though every time those little scooters came on the scene he was so mad and i just fucking hate i people like oh i like the kids i just don't like the bikes no i hate them both i hate them both and i hope they all fucking blow up in a fucking horrible thing they should have pushed off instead of our Morian guards,
Starting point is 00:26:06 who stink, by the way. And I apologize for everyone trying to get their hopes up for this. It just was not cool. I thought the mods got better as the series went along. Like, I minded them a lot less in this episode than I did previously. Still. No! We got a little baby yoda coming
Starting point is 00:26:27 down it did sound like r2 yeah um the mods though i thought initially when i watched it i was like their bikes didn't look as bad their bikes kind of looked faster and then when i re-watched it i was like you know what they did kind of look slow again maybe the vespas are just like they're like the grocery cart vespas that's just though and that's why they're like, we don't have jobs. We can't afford fast Vespas. So I was looking at those stupid little bikes and I'm like, maybe they have a restrictor plate on them. And I'm like, no, but if you're mods who modified your human,
Starting point is 00:26:55 you could obviously modify the bike to go faster than 10 miles per hour. It's like, what's a large is sons of apathy where he drives his little Vespa. They're like baby larges. I don't want baby larges trying to save the fucking day. No offense to large, real large, but God, I just hate these fucking things so goddamn much.
Starting point is 00:27:14 And they have little hooker guns too. They have little hooker guns. I'm like, you guys don't even have cool blasters. There's nothing redeeming about them. I never watched Spy Kids. I know a lot of people make the Spy Kids connection because of robert ruse f minus i fucking hate these kids and they did nothing to redeem themselves i thought they could be cool like in a certain from a certain point of view no we're talking and then we got flashback to tuftsons without the back to tank there was
Starting point is 00:27:40 this this is when it started getting muddled for me and i started getting worried about how it was all going to come together and we talked about this on the spaces too the way cad bane was trying to like get boba all upset it did feel very much like ramsay bolton trying to piss off john snow by just you know saying awful shit obviously stuff with rickon and i honestly the way they were talking with the free town it was like the free town was like the knights of the veil where it's like if those motherfuckers don't come, we are cooked. Yeah. They said like they must show up.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Yeah. Except the Knights of the Vale are like legendary fighters and Freetown is just a bunch of people that named their town Freetown after it got freed in second grade. Not the brains, but they're the muscle, you know? The muscle. The heart. They have it where it counts, right? Yeah. The pikes arrive at the sanctuary at this moment they're really cornered we got a lot of fish heads
Starting point is 00:28:30 and mando says listen i'm gonna stay with you because of the creed he's like this is the way and boba fett's like you believe that fucking bantha fodder come on dude i'm taking the helmet off all the time you should chill out and the major domo major domo fuck face says hold on i actually went to college on coruscant and i majored in fucking negotiation so why don't you send me out there with a tablet and i could probably get us off world with maybe us paying a fee us maybe getting a little slap on the wrist and such a like shout out to riggs and our friends that went to harvard but it's such a i went to harvard you know me he's like the fucking guy in goodwill hunting who's like oh i didn't see you in all history class uh the history they teach that at harvard come on just a fuck face they sent him out with the tablet
Starting point is 00:29:13 and he starts reading it and he's like the offer is uh uh and they're like fucking read it he's like the offer's nothing and if you don't accept this boba fett is basically going to plant you in the soil and fucking water you and make the sands of Tatooine flourish once again with your bodies. Which was a bit wordy from our guy, Boba Fett. Like Ken Jack was saying throughout the series, like I wish Boba Fett talked less because that was one of the things that made him so cool in the original trilogy. This was the moment where I was like, all right, kind of a cool thing to say. Kind of wordy for Boba Fett to write on that tablet, huh? That's a good point. Like you think Boba Fett, you think, you right, kind of a cool thing to say. Kind of wordy for Boba Fett to write on that tablet, huh? That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Like, you think Boba Fett, you think, you know, no promises. You know, two, three word answers. He has a fucking, like, quill pen, and he's writing fucking shit on a tablet for this guy. I will make the sands of Tatooine flourish with you. It's like, whoa, flourish. And, again, that shit's cool. Like, maybe Fennec Shand wrote it. Maybe someone else who has, like. Maybe that's Lizard Drugs Boba, too. He's, like shit's cool. Like maybe Fennec Shand wrote it. Maybe someone else who has like.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Maybe that's Lizard Drugs Boba too. He's like creative now. I feel like Rowan would write something like that. You know, like a battle rap champion or something. I thought it was cool. I would have loved if like they're like, if they cut the Boba and she's like, why are you having him say all this? He's like, I hate that fucking fuck face. I hope they murder his ass.
Starting point is 00:30:23 I was thinking that like they aim the guns at him and then Boba and Mando come in on the jet packs. But I was like, Oh, it would have been fucking great if they just let that guy die. Yeah. Yeah. We don't need him.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Today. There's M 300 where like the guy comes, he says the shit and then they send his head back. Basically it might be, it's either that or game of Thrones. Uh, I have my crazy, uh,
Starting point is 00:30:41 war, uh, dramas mixed up there, but yeah, I was really hoping. And they called him Tailhead, right? I think there was a Tailhead line. Yeah, I think that was a racial slur in the Star Wars world, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Oh, I disavow, disavow. I didn't realize we were dealing with a racial slur here. Disavow. He was like, yeah, I've heard that one before. So Mando and Boba come out on the jetpacks. They go back to back. We get a pretty badass fight scene. The armor is coming up huge. The MVP from Mandoando to the armor they keep getting shot kind of bouncing off pew pew bouncing off them the freetown residents arrive just as they're getting overwhelmed
Starting point is 00:31:14 it's a cool arrival too they come on like a big speeder all together we get the bartender and he's like they gunned him down in cold blood we gotta got to help you, whatever. And mods and Santo show up to help. Santo is getting his ass beat. He winds up getting like shot in the legs and stuff. And they got to go help him. And they're like, we owe you a dip in the bacta tank after this is all over. And then just when they think, all right, we're safe. We get some big ass droids showing up.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Knees, I compared in the twitter spaces to the incredibles droid and you said you thought the same thing same thing bob it all clicked together feels like the villain robot from incredibles and then with the in a good way i think that's a good villain yeah yeah no because it was it had the look of it a little but it also had the like unstoppable element of it it's like no matter what you did he had an answer for you obviously syndrome which is an all-time great villain to him i gotta shout out that kid he's a little he's a fuck face too that little brat yeah but yeah i gotta shout him out the entire plan i incredibles is a great movie well you're just going to we might have to do my favorite my favorite disney movie as i said last week they should fucking have thrown in the
Starting point is 00:32:23 incredibles in his chapter seven here just to kind of be like all right it's like we went from boba fett to mandalore into the incredibles randomly but then the finale of boba fett even even eight episodes it would have all made sense in the end um but when i saw the the four of them around all right like we're bringing in some we're gonna bring in some prequels technology here like just like you do with the naboo starfighter we're gonna get people we're gonna make people love these things that were really cool it's just the actual movie made people kind of hate them um i was gonna say yeah they were always like cool in the movies they were a cool toy they were cool in the video games always so annoying to have to destroy in the lego games because you would have to like shoot their force field get that to break first and
Starting point is 00:33:01 boba's rocket firing jetpack doesn't even work against their big uh force fields the dark saber doesn't even work can't get through with the dark saber it's like oh fuck what's the dark saber good for if it's the saber that could get through everything but not this it was it was tough look for boba too like if you want to know what boba fett is and as a metaphor he is the rocket pack it's cool like the rocket launcher it's cool and like visual sides of things on practically yeah on paper awesome and then when actually shit has to like go down it's a fucking it's like it doesn't make any sense we designed this thing it doesn't work yeah exactly he's bending over to shoot it it's so good and that's boba fett in a fucking nutshell it breaks my heart to say it
Starting point is 00:33:42 but it really was i forgot about like the jet when they both took off in the jet packs and started i was like oh that's right like we can fly we're in fucking we're in the money right now i started feeling good knee rockets just out the ass yeah it's going left and right i was that the whistling birds those little bitch ass the whistling birds did make an appearance yeah they got they got it they got it too that was nice to see i and i when the bartender showed up i was like i got my face i thought he was gonna you know turn his back on us or he'd be like a real detriment to the cause he it was it was like a very the commons demands knights of the veil is definitely would have felt like and i thought big k was going out like scarface like he was just getting shot he's
Starting point is 00:34:19 like oh and i was waiting for the dude in the sunglasses to fucking take him out with the giant shotgun. And at this point, Boba's so fucking cheeky. I think he mentioned the back of the tank like five times this episode. Does he know how preposterous he sounded in the first fucking six chapters of his goddamn story that he's going to just be cheeky about it? Because that's what it felt like the entire time. He's like Joe Rogan with the sauna. When Joe Rogan first went into a sauna, every single guest on his podcast would be like ever try a sauna i mean it's really good for recovery like it's it makes you feel so good like that's boba fett with the back to tank you just can't stop recommending it boba fett got a back to tank for christmas just like people who got an air fryer for christmas
Starting point is 00:34:58 thinking of yeah yeah it's like it makes everything crispy the wings i gotta get one i can't believe people don't have them and then like yeah that's the it makes everything crispy the wings i gotta get one man i can't believe people don't have them and then like yeah that's the thing is you know in january of whatever the fucking post whatever what what is the uh like is there a christmas in the star wars universe i guess we could do the holiday life day life day yeah then so after life day everyone's social media feed is like man i got this back this back to tank. Life-changing, life-changing, game-changer. They just hear the same fucking quotes every single time, just like with air fryers.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Which, by the way, if there's any listeners on this podcast that don't have air fryers yet, big cosign. Air fryers, game-changer. Game-changer. I had one of the – I don't know if it was one of the first air fryers. I had one like 10 years ago, and I was like, holy shit. So I was still pretty – I was early on it and then hearing everyone sound exactly like i sounded i'm like man i am such a dickhead but it really does this is
Starting point is 00:35:52 all right listen if you were for someone that sells air fryers these two guys could fucking push them for you right here big time code 15 clem don't you start with 16 robbie and they will throw our hello french in there and it's going to taste incredible. It's fucking everything tastes good in the air fryer. I threw some stuffed peppers in mine today. Oh my God, it was so good. I've heard reheating pizza is a game changer in there too. I believe that because
Starting point is 00:36:16 before the air fryer, you could do the frying pan method if you want to keep the bottom crispy, but I could see if you get big enough air fryer, which I do, you could probably fit a slice in there. I bet that'd be great. Bob fox tell me i when mando mando is fucking trying to get that force field he's doing all this shit we got dark sabers we got boba's jet rocket going at it mando tried to burn god damn mando doesn't know how to use this fire let's just call it what he has no idea and we see later on like some two people really that really know how
Starting point is 00:36:53 to use the fire and actually mando has like a decent moment with it but like cad bane shows like oh here's how to use your fire it's it's like that's as soon as i saw this i was just like oh he's gonna hear it from clem he is going to hear from clem it's like i it's like i i watch a co-worker do like something that our boss has told them not to do a hundred times and i'm just like oh fuck you're digging your own grave man there's how many times where yeah it's like basically smitty does something and you're like if he sees that dave is going to call him out on it and that is that is mando come on man yeah yeah so boba says be right back when they can't get through these bubbles he's like be right back and you're like is he gonna go get the slave one or is he gonna go do what we want him to do here so we cut to the mods with kersantan we see a very controversial
Starting point is 00:37:40 moment which i laughed at in the moment i said, that was stupid. But the fact that people are making this out to be like childhood ruining, we see one of the mods at 360 no scope and people are fucking pissed about it. People are putting it. Oh, my God. This is what Disney's doing a Star Wars. I thought it was stupid when I saw it, but I was just like, huh, that was stupid. Now is it? That's as much thought as I put into it. And Peli Moto also appears on a buggy with Grogu.
Starting point is 00:38:06 And we see Grogu get to reunite with Mando. Grogu jumps right into his arms. It's adorable. He almost signals for like, take the helmet off. I want to see you, I thought. But he's like, we don't have time for this. Cover yourself up. I've seen a lot of people upset that they reunited in a show that wasn't the Mandalorian.
Starting point is 00:38:23 People are like, what if you just go Mandalorian season two to Mandalorian season three, it's going to make that payoff feel like nothing. I disagree. Cause like, if you go from Mandalorian season two to season three, without watching this, you're going to miss out on a lot of stuff. This is part of the story.
Starting point is 00:38:37 So I almost look at it like the new MCU where it's like, what if you just go from age of Ultron to infinity war? It's like, well, don't do that. There's a lot of stuff in between that you should watch instead. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:38:49 And I think those two things in terms of the shot, that shot is preposterous. But if you think that Star Wars getting fucked up by stupid shit is new, let me introduce you to everything outside of the original trilogy. And people are like, was this the worst moment i'm sorry and i know there's different takes on this carrie poppins flying through space that was like the cringe i got goosebumps i'm the biggest last jedi stand in the world even when i watched that to this day i'm like yeah they could have done that better yeah it's weird it the i think the worst part of it is the like the visual effects of it which is weird because that movie has such good visual effects but the idea of it the idea of leia using the force to save her own life in that moment cool
Starting point is 00:39:37 it should have been maybe like a split second before the thing hit like she did something like i don't know it looks a little wonky yeah and i won't bring up the last jedi again it's just that's what i compared it's but for this it's like yeah that is the metaphor for these those kids in this series where it's like just like cheesy it doesn't really make sense what were you trying to get with that i don't get it and it's like that is the internet we live in though people are going to clip you know they'll take a hour-long interview they'll clip a three-second quote and that quote will go viral and it could not mean even close to what it looks like so that's a challenge by the way someone someone clip one quote from this interview from one of us at a conference let's go viral don't get us canceled not canceled not in a canceled viral way
Starting point is 00:40:21 for sure um and like you said when baby yo and mando meet for the first time i was like i was like do we it feels like this should be earned more but then i'm like maybe we don't need an entire season of them you know grow you know baby yo's on his side of the galaxy mando's doing his thing and then they meet up maybe they were never meant to be apart that long because it sucked when they went apart and listen yeah if you you want to say Baby-O should have been training for the Force for a while with Luke and then he makes that decision and makes it bigger, I guess. Or maybe he just never was going to be on that path. Like not everyone has to go to Jedi school and fucking at least get like two years in before they drop out. And how long was he training?
Starting point is 00:41:01 Let's say from the beginning of – from the of mandalorian season two to mandalore for book of boba fett's episode five or whatever could have been a couple weeks it's longer than luke right it's longer than ray and if you yeah exactly and if you want to say the book of boba fett the biggest thing to come out of it was baby yo reuniting with mando uh yeah it was that's the whole problem that's why it sucks for boba fett fucking boba cuck cuck a fat whatever we call him like what a world we're in though now where we're like i get that you gave us the boba fett show but just give us the new disney star wars characters we love those disney star wars characters people saying that like well we flip shit on its head all right john favreau and dave floney buy the shirt. And I do have to say, man, like, again, I don't know how long it was that they were
Starting point is 00:41:46 separated, but I was gone from my kids for, I mean, like two days max. That's all it was. I left Tuesday morning at 8.30 AM and I got home Thursday night at 8 PM. So what is that? That's 24, 48, and then another 12 hours, 60 hours. And I was like, oh, I haven't seen you guys forever. I love you guys so much. He didn't know if he was ever gonna see baby yo again and then you hop down to do the podcast which is basically like mando finishing that battle exactly and then little my little baby
Starting point is 00:42:13 yo ran down the stairs from a part of the episode we had to cut out little aj came down trying to start cooing at me probably tried to force choke hold me to death and my wife had to bring him upstairs so you guys even get to see that um but again i feel like they turned up that cuteness to a million just when he jumps into his arms oh so cute so cute it was great um the rancor arrives in this moment this is the number one thing i wanted to see happen in the finale and it could not have been handled better for my money i loved the entrance of the Rancor. It reminded me of a monster movie like Godzilla, like Cloverfield, like King Kong. When they show just one body part at a time. Like we saw the back.
Starting point is 00:42:53 We saw like in Godzilla, they show you like the foot stomping down before you see the whole thing. And then we see like a claw jump over a building or grab a building. And then fully the Rancor is there on screen and boba fett is riding it and he looks like a badass he looks like a warrior while he's riding it and this was me being like yes in this moment where you could have someone swoop in and save the day a new character that everyone wants these new debuts these new characters you gave this to boba fett because he needed it he needed a cool badass moment in the finale so that the coolest boba fett thing we saw wasn't the mandalorian stuff from that episode which it still
Starting point is 00:43:30 may be to be honest the rancor stuff was amazing but it's like right up there with it and mando tries to kill one of these things with a laser once the rancor comes out and he starts like beating it and we see okay maybe the bubble is damaged a little bit. Mando runs into it. He gets in on the bubble. Sells Grogu. Stay put. And he starts slashing it up with the Darksaber. And then it turns on him a little bit. It starts to like try to stab him basically.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I think it hits his leg. It hits him in the Beskar armor. And he's like, ah. Then it goes to do it again. And our guy Grogu saves the day just like he did back in the Mandalorian. Just like he was known to in the mandalorian he rips a screw out of the leg of the droid which i thought was such a clever way to do it as well because when you see this massive droid you're like maybe yoda really gonna save the
Starting point is 00:44:16 day over this big droid like i know that's not a remote force but yeah come on like what is he gonna do here i think you can't crush that and him just removing one screw and having it fall it's very at at like just wrap up the legs and there you go so i thought that was really cool it's a cool way to get grogu to save the day yeah and i was as soon as he got there i was like we're getting some sort of force help here and i'm happy the way they did it where it wasn't out of this world crazy um and both ways he does something later on which we'll get to as well and that was also like a cool way of him using the force not an over-the-top overpowered way yeah exactly exactly and i will say though like i know some people were saying like what else would you do during it but
Starting point is 00:44:56 seeing these guys they just kept shooting at the thing i was like come on let's start thinking of some other like you said 1880 let's go ewok on these motherfuckers let's start thinking of different practical ways to break the force field or slow these things down but i just felt like everyone just kept shooting and this is i have to also admit this again i went out to la i was tired i was out of it it was midnight which was actually awesome i'll tell you anyone whoever like goes out and gets to watch like you know sports starting at four o'clock because the seven o'clock eastern game started at four that is incredible nfl sunday starting at 10 a.m a dream a little brunch and some football incredible being able to watch these things at midnight instead of 3 a.m oh bob it's
Starting point is 00:45:34 living i'm telling you pal it's living have you ever done that i don't think i ever no i haven't and i think when i went to las vegas uh before i went to abu dhabi there was like a little quarantine i had to do in Las Vegas. I think that's when like WandaVision first came out or something. So I think I maybe have, but I think they should really make it midnight on the East Coast, 9 p.m. on the West Coast. And then it's a conversation online. Everyone on the West Coast watching live because it's not that late for them. And all the hardcores on the East Coast will stay up for it then.
Starting point is 00:46:03 That would be so awesome if If we got that for moon night, I don't think they will. Cause it seems like all streaming services, Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu, they all seem to do the midnight PT, but man,
Starting point is 00:46:14 I can't imagine that would be so awesome. Had not having to stay up till three in the morning. Like, listen, am I upset that we're not getting Boba Fett next week? Of course. Am I happy to get a good night's sleep on Tuesday for the first night in in six weeks yeah yep no i'm 100 with you there and it's those fucking nerds on the west coast i mean that's where they live they get to you know they don't get to choose the time
Starting point is 00:46:34 everything is eastern time first right so they want to just stick it to us so i guess we're the the disney plus people i guess the netflix and everything else they kind of just take the l on that side of things but um that was my one criticism from this scene is it's just like shooting and it goes into the bubble and i'm like i was really tired and i'm like guys you got to give me something else there's a lot of running away taking cover shooting running away taking cover shooting and we see at least a cool moment here where the rancor rips the fucking big droid in half like so badass such a cool like i said like rank or rips the fucking big droid in half, like so bad-ass, such a cool,
Starting point is 00:47:06 like I said, like monster movie fight is the way that they basically shot this and everything. He gets the second one as well, right. As the mods are cornered in this little bar with the residents of Freetown, he like fucking spears it into a building.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And then, I mean, they really destroyed a fuck ton of moss. I saw, I mean, it was like, it was like, uh, the SpongeBob and Patrick, like, congrats, we saved Bikini Bottom as it's burning in the background.
Starting point is 00:47:29 And that was like, they changed it to Mos Espa. It was good. Cad Bane returns in this moment. He shoots the Rancor with fire. He shoots fire into Rancor's face, and it freaks the Rancor out completely. It throws Boba Fett off its back. It goes into the buildings, into the skyscrapers, the high rise, and starts kind of causing destruction to where the Freetown residents kind of fucked up. Start shooting it right away.
Starting point is 00:47:50 They're like, all right, this thing's Boba Fett's not on it anymore. Kill it. I'm like, oh, geez, just saved your life, man. Come on. And we get our standoff. We get Boba Fett versus Cad Bane, they have a really cool dialogue back and forth at first where Cad's like, I just don't get your angle on this, which I kind of agree with to do a level where it's like, I don't know what Boba Fett's angle is. Cad Bane's kind of right. Hey, Boba Fett, when did you become a fucking cop?
Starting point is 00:48:16 I would have loved to have just said that. Cop of Fett, you fucking cop motherfucker. We're bounty hunters, you narc motherfucker. And they have the standoff that everyone's been waiting to see since it never got put in the Clone Wars. You know, the unfinished standoff. Cad Bane wins it. He shoots Boba. And Boba points out beforehand.
Starting point is 00:48:37 He's like, you might be faster, but I've got armor. And that winds up saving the day at the end because Cad shoots him. He stands above him and he's like, let this be my final lesson. Never trust anyone but yourself. And Boba reverses it. I said kind of in a wrestling way. It's like if someone's getting their ass kicked and then they hit a quick, like roll up or school boy pin.
Starting point is 00:48:54 And it's like, Oh, one, two, three. And then they roll out. It's like, Oh,
Starting point is 00:48:57 they did it. Yeah. Oh my God. They can't. It's like the, when the hurricane beat the rock, it was like, what the hurricane beat the rock.
Starting point is 00:49:02 He runs out of the ring, gets out of there. Boba kind of pulls one of those and he reverses the position on cad bane and he fucking stabs him with the gaffy stick cad gets a cool final line where he's like i always knew you were a killer boom kind of proving boba right in that moment but eating a death as well i said leading into this i didn't want to see cad bane die because I wanted to see more of him in live action. I get that. They're like, let's have Boba have a big triumph and win over him.
Starting point is 00:49:30 They have so much history from the Clone Wars. It would have been nice to see more of them. I think there's still a chance we see more of them because when they cut to that shot of his dead body, we hear beeping. It's like, I don't know. They, they could say that he was being revived by his chest plate.
Starting point is 00:49:42 I don't know. I think if you bring cad bane back i wouldn't be upset if this was his death i also understand like hey it was pretty good death for an iconic character to get boba fett to be the one to put him out in that way so even though i didn't want him to be killed in this episode when it was done i wasn't actually mad at it i was like all right that was pretty well done okay i'll take the other angle i was furious i was mad i was sad i was every emotion on the bad side like you know with a little storm cloud above my head because i don't have the history with cabane that you know you do or the diehards do and i like that guy from the minute i met him in bad batch with you and ken jack that
Starting point is 00:50:19 we recapped last year and then when he came on on you know the screen i was like fuck yes let's go and we say this all the time with the Marvel shows they keep killing these awesome villains and it's like the one thing that like the one thing you can look at that was done perfectly was they never killed Darth Vader in the for in A New Hope they
Starting point is 00:50:37 had him just spinning out just spin these fuckers out and then we can have him come back they're all like imagine if Darth Vader Cad Bane has like the the rocket firing jetpack boots there was definitely a moment where i thought with boba standing above him like this he's just gonna fucking and fire himself out and you know we don't see him till ahsoka or we don't see him till whatever yep and i was there's still a chance that he's alive you gotta admit it's star wars so and bob what do you know about me i'm gonna what's clem what's your prediction for the star Wars?
Starting point is 00:51:05 Cabin comes back to life. I'm going to be saying that every series and movie until like, he does come back one day and we can get, like you said, flashbacks of him, but for the casual fans, the people that do not watch the clone Wars or the cartoons or the expanding universe shit,
Starting point is 00:51:19 like we met this awesome character and we saw him for like five minutes total and he's gone now. And I just think that's kind of a bummer. And yeah, you can go back and watch the clone wars, but I think, I just think there was more to be done for him. And I get giving Boba,
Starting point is 00:51:33 giving Boba that win is awesome, but I still don't, again, with all the other stuff, Boba caught in this fucking, even cabane was like you and your back to tank. Like he was fucking clouding him on his own show. So it's like, are you going to have, hey, Boba,
Starting point is 00:51:49 are you going to go have some fucking dreams about you being a kid and your flashback to tank, you pussy-ass cop? Like, what was going on? It was crazy. Listen, the basement boys are, we love the police officers. They're protecting Sarah. We love them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Boba fucking, it's like if Darth Vader is a fucking, not a cop.
Starting point is 00:52:02 He's fucking Darth Vader. Yeah. Boba Fett's not a cop. By the way, hey, you just brought up Darth Vader. a fucking, not a cop, he's fucking Darth Vader. Yeah. Pulp offense, not a cop. By the way, hey, you just brought up Darth Vader. I want to bring this up. And it's, I hesitate to say spoiler alert because it's not really a spoiler, but I read a report today that Darth Vader is not being overhyped in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, that he will be in episodes three, four, five, and six, and that they described him as Darth
Starting point is 00:52:24 Vader in Rogue One, but angrier. I mean, Rogue One was the angriest we ever saw that motherfucker. So I can't, well, other than like Revenge of the Sith, maybe the end of that, that was pretty fucking angry. But as Darth Vader in the suit, oh my God, Darth Vader, but angrier. So I actually had this take,
Starting point is 00:52:43 I was going to save it for the end, but I'll bring it up now. I think the biggest thing that could happen for boba fett the character is for the obi-wan show to be awesome and darth vader to crush because then we're gonna be like oh yeah boba was that year too we got the mando stuff and this kind of clump it in yeah yeah and it's just gonna be like it's so early in the year like wandavision feels like it happened 20 years ago so um i feel like boba could become like a big winner when it's all early in the year like wandavision feels like it happened 20 years ago yeah so um i feel like boba could become like a big winner when it's all said and done with wandavision was airing a year ago like right now this that's when we really started like hitting the basement a
Starting point is 00:53:14 bunch i was like oh my god that's crazy that is crazy that feels like a thousand years ago when people say hey man i you know i started getting into you guys with WandaVision. I'm like, man, long time. And I'm like, Oh yeah, a year ago. Fuck me. I mean,
Starting point is 00:53:28 we did do some Mando stuff and we did do some, you know, other stuff along the way, but we definitely ramped it up with WandaVision. Yeah. That was the beginning of a new era, the new era of the basement. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:38 So the Rancor starts wreaking havoc on the town. Like I said, the citizens have started to have turned on it. They started shooting at it. The Mandalorian tries to ride it and tame it. He's unsuccessful. The rank or fucking bites his head. Like it's an action figure or something.
Starting point is 00:53:51 And he's a toddler. And it obviously doesn't do anything to his helmet. Cause it's best guard and everything. And he uses fire successfully here. He shoots the fire right into the mouth of the rank or, and lets it unleash him. Yeah. It lets him go.
Starting point is 00:54:04 And in this moment i thought i know this is going to be a reference for maybe me and not you clem but the stoners in the basement will get it if you ever accidentally fill the bong up with non-cold water if you accidentally put hot water in there and then take a rip out of the bong that's pretty much what it feels like getting fire put right down your throat like that. Yeah, it's not something that I would recommend. If you get a bong, get one with the ice catcher, you put some ice in there, that's the good stuff. I've done a few with ice, a few bong hits with ice, and it is heavenly. It is fucking heavenly.
Starting point is 00:54:38 I didn't know if you were a previous – I've partaken in the past in a previous life, yes. You're not a cop. Yeah, exactly. I'm not a cop. First off. Yeah, exactly. I'm not a cop. First time I ever smoked was out of a bond. Do not recommend that because I was,
Starting point is 00:54:50 I actually, I think I landed on tattooing at some point. Yeah. I don't. The first time I ever smoked a bong was actually Dallas Braden's bong with Dallas Braden's weed. And I had to leave his house. I was like trying to keep it cool for a while.
Starting point is 00:55:04 And then I was like, Dallas, I gotta be honest. I'm too high. I it cool for a while. And then I was like, Dallas, I got to be honest. I'm too high. I got to go home. And he was like, all right, yeah, put me in an Uber. And we were driving through the hills of California, 60 miles an hour, me and John Kelly. And you could ask him the story. I was white knuckling the handles of that car, just being like, oh, my God, we're going to fly off the cliff.
Starting point is 00:55:20 We're going to fly off the cliff. And we weren't even close. That's funny to look back on doing your first like first time smoking weed out of a bong that's basically like oh you know what this is the first time having sex and here is a lot of roads right here and it's like our friend eddie we're both ed heads he says the first time he smokes weed he wants it to be with joey ds and me and trent were like oh my it's like i've never played basketball before so i would like to start off with a one-on-one against LeBron James what are you talking about here's Madden let's turn it out all Madden and you can be the fucking Joey Diaz would kill me
Starting point is 00:55:53 like weed it'd be the first guy to ever OD on weed if I tried this one but yeah uh as the rancor is still going crazy in town Grogugu appears. He starts waddling up to it. I have a cousin, Chris, who is a cop. Shout out, cops. And he texted me and said, Grogu has the most gangster waddle in the world. Shout out, cops. Now we're shouting him out. Shout out, cops.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Shout out, cops. We're going to have to sell bear shirts now. The force is, there's a balance in the force. We got to even things out by the end. And he said, he's got the most gangster waddle in the world. And I was like, it's fucking true. Rewatched this the way he was just walking up to it all confident and he uses the force to put it to sleep and he just has it really calmly like lay down he goes to sleep and then
Starting point is 00:56:33 baby yoda waddles up behind it he kind of pets it a little bit and then he takes a nap right beside it which reminded me of chaps's dogs you know when chaps's dog like lays the little one lays on top of the big one it's like oh this is adorable baby you want to land with the rancor people are like oh look at this creature very jedi like for him to diffuse the situation without causing any violence which he's remembering more than he learned maybe there we go yep and i i just love that that's baby yo's thing where he just like puts things this he just does his job and then he just takes a little nap he takes a nap he takes a fucking nap it's the best he just wants to sleep chill out guys being dudes guys being dudes the snoozing like killer or something they'll call him like he just murders things and then puts
Starting point is 00:57:13 them to sleep and then puts himself to sleep right after he's watching he's like most espa is destroyed huh and i was like dudes rock we fucking we won you know maybe that's i think boba kind of did like maybe that now to rebuild most espy they're gonna have to like you know turn to him for like his like help financially and then he'll be oh true true maybe but maybe boba has like the long long time you know like we didn't really get to see him do anything as a crime boss we got to see like he showed up at the sanctuary and was like if you need anything give me a call and they were like all right we're we're good man the one thing i sanctuary and was like, if you need anything, give me a call. And they were like, all right, we're good, man. The one thing I saw him do was, like, if you said, Clem, name the one thing Boba did as a crime boss.
Starting point is 00:57:50 I'd be like, melted from office space, basically dog walked. Oh, yeah. How fucking embarrassing was that? But then he kind of did the Tinder swindler, and he's like, I'll swindle you. Here's the fucking credit. Yeah, he's Tinder swindling him back. Fair point, fair point. The Pike leader we cut to
Starting point is 00:58:06 meeting with the mayor makshais and the pike leader's like hey we're gonna leave tattooing we're gonna get the fuck out of here we it was fun but we're you know and everyone else was like what the fuck they're like our troops died too we were trying to defend like your stand here they're like yeah but you know that's not the deal we have we this is dangerous we got to get off that to mean and then we start seeing motherfuckers get shot and it's like who is shooting where they where they getting shot from it is none other than fennec shand all season i was really happy for fennec in this scene because all season she's been turning to boba being like can i kill this motherfucker i want to kill him almost like dexter like she's got this dark passenger that she has to get out this urge.
Starting point is 00:58:46 And she finally gets to kill a room full of devious, conniving, evil motherfuckers, including mock Shia's, the mayor who she hangs. And our guy Holland at marauders was like, it was equal parts disturbing and funny because it's like a Muppet hanging, but it's also like someone's being hung right now.
Starting point is 00:59:01 So it's like, Oh shit, kids are going to watch this. Really, really cool scene. I liked this. She stabbed the Pike leader in the back to kill him so i was like oh that's fucking cool like he stabbed you in the back you stab him in the back and we see most espah being rebuilt we see the squad and uh boba says the bacta tank is being used right now so we're like oh who's in that thing right now the squad includes the rat catcher which i thought
Starting point is 00:59:24 was interesting the little droid oh i didn't see him who turned himself i was like oh shit so if we cut back to boba and mando season three if we get a second season i want more of him he was great we loved him in that one little scene so i was happy to see him alive happy to see him part of the squad we cut to space grogu is in that little naboo starfighter bubble he looks just as cute as we thought he would and he's banging on the glass he just wants him to go with the hyperspace it's like when uh you know a kid's like oh pick me up do this whatever that's grogu right here starts knocking faster and mando's like fucking all right finally he hits it they go with the hyperspace and we get
Starting point is 00:59:59 credits we get a little post-credit scene where we see the bacta tank we start pushing closer and i'm like oh my god could it be max rebo himself and it's not unfortunately it was uh it was just cob vanth which is cool i'm happy cob vanth isn't dead because they did kind of make it out in this episode to seem like he was dead even though you're like what no he can't be dead he got shot in the fucking shoulder i'm happy that he's surviving he's a great character and thunder catercat is with him so he's gonna make him a little metal give him a little metal shoulder or something i think that'll look cool and i hope to see him in uh mando season three i was very torn when with that reveal i mean i mean god if max rebo was in a little underwhelming right the cobb vance reveal like cool because we like that character but like that post-credit scene you
Starting point is 01:00:43 expect something with a little more meat on the bone something big's coming and i guess i can say if that is end ends up being the commercial that plays during the super bowl for obi-wan i'd be fine with it then right it's like if you're just gonna wait a couple more days all is forgiven but in kind of a fucked up way i was hoping cad bane was gonna be in there and he's like i don't know why he nursed cad bane back to health but i was and listen that was fucking cool you know how much i love cop vanth he's like he was probably my number two cad bane was my number one out of like these newer characters so it was kind of just a numbers game and i also thought maybe big k was gonna be in there i thought that as well because he mentioned it earlier in the episode like i owe you a dip in the box to
Starting point is 01:01:22 tank yeah would have been funny to see like what the fur looks like in the box to tank right like as it's like floating in there and i thought if they wanted to tease obi-wan the next star wars show that would have been a funny way to do it where we know that they got into that fight earlier on what if you have black hay you cut to a flashback him in the sand and you just hear a lightsaber go off and you hear ewan mcgregor's voice go hello there it's like oh shit that would have been fucking cool now i did say in my bulb in my obi-wan blog where i said it's coming out may 25th if the super bowl trailer is literally just the sands of tatooine the twin suns we see from a distance someone in jedi robes fucking walking through the desert right and then it
Starting point is 01:02:05 goes black and we hear darth vader breath that's all i need i'll come myself that'll be the greatest thing of all time i think they'll probably do a little bit more than that i hope but man just seeing ewan mcgregor back as obi-wan is gonna be fucking crazy now i do think after watching this i'm like more of tattooing is gonna be oh my god we after obi-wan let's retire tattooing for at least a bit yeah uh that's that's the exact point i was about to make i the i am so excited for obi-wan i can't believe that they fucking have two tattooing shows back to back after it's basically and again it's like even when you weren't in tattooing you were in tattooing right when you're seeing young ryer whatever fucking desert planet she was on.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Jakku, yeah. Jakku, yeah. It's like, come on. But all right, so I'm going to be all right with it. Unless they somehow move Obi-Wan off of there, but he's watching Luke. I don't know how they- I suppose they- And what if he visits the Organa family on Alderaan?
Starting point is 01:03:02 You get to see Alderaan thriving before it gets destroyed that might be cool we there's rumors of an inquisitor there's obviously darth vader in the show so i assume we're gonna cut to like vader in his castle on mustafar yeah so at least give us stuff where it's like boba fett was 90 percent tattooing other than that like one episode the two episodes where we went off and boba wasn't even in them but like hopefully they give us like half the show or one third of every episode is tattooing like you said you cannot say the word tattooing after boba fett until 2024 i'm giving like rest of 22 or 23 and then you know new year's 2024 you want to launch show that day and say tattooing
Starting point is 01:03:43 fine but you got to give us a fucking break from this. I mean, how many times have you heard how shitty Tatooine is? And you just keep bringing us there. That's all we fucking do. And it was like so refreshing when we weren't there the two times in this. When we were on that weird Cloud City halo ring, that was fucking dope. When we were on that green as grass Jedi planet, that was also fucking dope. So it's like even just
Starting point is 01:04:05 giving us a little taste of stuff we're like oh yes please more of the black melon we need it like get us off tattooing and again like you said with the commercial it could hit all the spots and we're gonna i think we we plan at least we'll see how it all shakes out super bowl yeah doing like a power will power rank all the commercials if we get like a batman we get this you get that um because that's going to be probably the talk of the town now that the world has gone fully nerd um and i'm going to hit up jose young's so keep an eye out we're going to do a moon night episode i think it'd be smartest to do it soon almost get people aware of them because the show doesn't debut till the end of march but we're gonna have a lot of batman stuff to talk about leading into batman and after that. So I think we're probably
Starting point is 01:04:46 going to do that soon. I hit him up last week because I saw he just like randomly tweeted like, I want to talk about comic books with people. And I was like, well, I got two people that want to talk about comic books with you. You're going to have to get your ass back down in the basement. He's like, all right, I'm there. Twist my arm.
Starting point is 01:05:02 100% need him back. I have to also say from the end of the book of boba i and i know ken jack said that they're like they're they're looked as very strong uh like criminal group the pikes i've never been less i i'm so underwhelmed with the pikes right now and we saw like a thousand getting off that spaceship there was like 10 of them this episode yeah there weren't that many are they just a bunch of cowards and like once shit goes like wait they brought lasers to this fucking gunfight and then they all just turned around i didn't understand that um they sent the two droids and they they overestimated what they would do they were like we're sending two droids but the fish people could stay off tattooing you know they
Starting point is 01:05:42 don't like going to the sandy planet. That makes sense. They're like, listen, everything's in fucking tattooing. The whole fucking galaxy. There's always wars breaking out there. It's like a movie, and the TV shows always take place there. It's like, yeah, dude, fucking tattooing. At least they had the decency to not have it exclusively in Mos Eis. They had it in Mos Espa, so at least they respected it for doing that. I was thinking that.
Starting point is 01:06:02 They did a good job of giving us different looks, and they did a lot of it in the palace. They gave us new looks at the palace, the sanctuary, bar, all that stuff. So, all right, they tried. Baby steps. Yep. And I think the biggest winner of the series was the Banthas. Like, remember how much we loved Banthas after that one episode with the mommy Bantha? I was going to say Max Rebo.
Starting point is 01:06:24 I mean, Max Rebo survives twice, not once not once but twice because he's a criminal underlord he's the one fucking self that's darth don't say that's gonna pull us for misinformation it's a theory i have like someone call it a conspiracy theory but it's a theory nonetheless that darth rebobo And Darth Banks are fucking Darth Jar Jar are going to be fucking Uniting so you better watch what you Say about him all right That was the chapter
Starting point is 01:06:56 Seven recap of the book of Boba Fett this has been a great series thank you To everyone that's been watching on YouTube Following along on the podcast it's been a lot of fun We've got series to come. So keep paying attention to the My Mom's Basement feed, whether it be on YouTube or the podcast feed, because we ain't stopping anytime soon.
Starting point is 01:07:12 We're only getting started here. The Obi-Wan show, the Moon Knight show. We got 100 movies coming out this year that are going to be great. Batman is on deck. Less than a month until Batman comes out. As we record this, tickets are on sale. So if people want to buy their tickets early, go to your local website, AMC, Fandango, whatever you use. Get your tickets to the Batman.
Starting point is 01:07:31 And I guess we'll talk to you next week. Anything else from you, Clem? We got to give the fast food review. I haven't taken mine still. I thought of mine. So I can start mine off if you want. I want everyone to leave theirs in the comment for the entire series, the book of Boba Fett.
Starting point is 01:07:46 And we're talking everything episode one to episode seven, including the post-credits scene. You lump it all together. You throw it between a bun, you deep fry it, whatever it may be. Tell us what you think it is in terms of an item. Bob Fox,
Starting point is 01:07:57 let me hear yours. So mine, and you got to listen for a sec because there's a bit of a clarification that comes after the item itself. Mine is a Popeye's chicken sandwich, which most people would be like, holy shit, that's a great item, right? With everything on it. Now, I don't like everything on my Popeye's chicken sandwich. When I get a Popeye's chicken sandwich, I have them take off the little mayo or whatever they put on it, and I have them take off the pickles.
Starting point is 01:08:21 So if I got a Popeye's chicken sandwich with everything on it, would I eat it? Yeah. And would I enjoy it? Yeah. But there would be certain things on that sandwich that I wish weren't there. Know what I'm saying? That's a good one. That's a good one.
Starting point is 01:08:35 All right. So overall, good. I give it thumbs up. I'm a Star Wars nerd. I got the fucking lightsaber on my arm. You're going to be hard-pressed to find Star Wars that I vehemently hate. You're going to be very, very hard pressed to find that. Even Solo, my least favorite Star Wars project.
Starting point is 01:08:51 I'll throw that on every couple of months and be like, yeah, I hate a couple of scenes out of this. But hey, Lando is cool. And there's a couple of cool scenes. You know, I always like finding the good in Star Wars. I like the way you preface that, too. You take stuff off. So I think you just gave me mine. And this is going to seem a little extreme here, but you've
Starting point is 01:09:07 already got my thoughts on the episode. And I think we talked about it a few episodes ago on the pod. I think the Book of Boba Fett was the air, land, and sea. The McDonald's secret menu item where you have a Big Mac, you have a Filet-O-Fish, you have a McChicken in between. There's a lot of shit going
Starting point is 01:09:23 on there, right? You have a bunch of, I mean, you have a tartar sauce. You have the Big Mac sauce. You have, I guess, mayo with the McChicken. You have three different kinds. You're getting Mandalorian episodes. You're getting Boba Fett episodes. You're getting flashbacks, right? You're getting fucking, you don't even know.
Starting point is 01:09:37 You're just from the Clone Wars where you're like, oh, shit. They're here. There's all these conflicting tastes. It's three different fucking, like, basically three different shows, right? It's like boom, boom, boom. You have young, you know, Tuscan boba. You have the war with the Pikes boba. And then you have just a fucking half a Mandalorian season out of the blue.
Starting point is 01:09:56 You put them all together. I will never eat that fucking thing. Actually, if you go to the Barstool Grown Ups channel, Chaps and Large ate it and they gave their like breakdown of it all. Yeah. Yeah. So when they put it together, was it as big as it looks in the picture? It looks like, how do you take a bite out of that fucking thing? Yep.
Starting point is 01:10:12 This is the thing that's messed up though. They give you the three items individually and you have to go with yourself. I hate that. It's so lame. It's so lame. If they offered it like together and even the crunchy McDouble, I would order that and I would give that a shot. I give hash brown egg mcmuffin a try the fact that you got to build it yourself and call me lazy just the principle of that makes me want to never order it and i guarantee that
Starting point is 01:10:33 it's probably like they probably want to make a wrapper that could fit that giant monstrosity right so it's probably like i'm guessing something silly like that i thought it was just like they didn't want to waste employees time or something but it's probably more about the rapper yeah it's like logistics kind of things with mickey d's um make me want mcdonald's yeah i really want mcdonald's but again i've never had it i it's just like i just feel like there's probably a lot going on every bite you take into that and that's you're like hey it's a bit of a disjointed sandwich right yeah and then you say what's the end game of all this, right? That's what it felt like with Boba.
Starting point is 01:11:07 We're like, what the fuck's going to happen here? So I guess that's mine. So yeah, leave yours in the YouTube comments. Or even if you want a five-star, obviously Spotify can do. And Apple, give us the five stars and just give us your breakdown of Mando. I called it Mando. Boba Fett. The Mando, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:25 The giveaway is still going on, by the way. And I've got pretty much everything compiled in the office. I put everything into smaller boxes. So I'll go in next week. I'll make a video of all the stuff and I'll announce the winners. We'll announce the winners and we'll send that stuff out. Yeah. I mean, we made it through. We had a... What was the Marvel show
Starting point is 01:11:42 that we made it through with all this? Hawkeye. And then it went into this. So that's how we got into the, so we got a Star Wars crew and a Marvel crew in this. So, and then the hashtag for this week, we'll do hashtag TheBobalorian. Does that sound good? Oh, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. TheBobalorian.
Starting point is 01:11:58 That's basically what we had there. I'll put it on the screen if that's hard to sell. I don't know if it is. Let me read some. We got some, we got some good reviews here. We got iTunes, iTunes reviews. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:09 iTunes reviews. I've been leaving those. So we're going to shout out everyone who shouts us out because that's the right thing to do here. We got Giovanni Miguel 13. We got net sweat 33 and we got, I don't think Kingley last time. So shout out to you guys cj decker 69 i believe
Starting point is 01:12:26 we had as well so you guys leave us the five star reviews we appreciate it um and so what's next what's next in the basement the batman will be the next big movie and then moon night is the next show after that moon night is the end of march and then after that's obi-wan pretty much right into obi-wan i believe i amazed. We even have a break right now. Yeah. We have like a few weeks where we don't have a show or a movie. It's weird. It feels strange.
Starting point is 01:12:51 But again, like you said, we already will probably have the stuff. And again, guys subscribe to the YouTube. If you don't see podcasts coming in, we are still going to get stuff on the YouTube. We're going to have,
Starting point is 01:13:01 we're going to probably break down the commercials. We're going to go to little Caesars, get the Batman. Calzone.izoni pizoni you called it like you called it like the pudasi or something the other day which i think yeah which is like some sort of like a you know sexual thing i was like wow what are we talking about so there's gonna be some stuff on the youtube as well again and the if you want to go to the Barstool Grownups YouTube, we've got the Land, Air, and Sea review, and I reviewed all the little WSX reviews too.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Oh, I saw the thumbnail of that. Yeah, so I'm going to have to check that out as well. All right, everybody. Thank you for supporting the Book of Boba Fett recaps. We will see you next time with probably the next video you'll see from us is the Super Bowl commercial recap.
