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. Hello and welcome back to My Mom's Basement, ladies and gentlemen, and another Star Wars recap edition of My Mom's Basement. I'm glad to be back. We obviously did it with The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, And now here we are, another live-action Star Wars show, this one being Andor. The first three episodes premiered this week, and we are here to recap all three today. Before we get into it, I'll read the quick series description. The Andor series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy,

focusing on Cassian Andor's journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It's an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero. Clem, how are you doing and what did you think of the first three episodes of Andor? I wish I read that description before the first three episodes of Andor Because I'll tell you Bob, I was drowning in confusion

I was just, I was like, I know this happens before Rogue One But I'm not sure the exact timing of everything And then the first scene I see, it says Morlana 1, Preox Morlana corporate zone, BBY five. And I said, what the fuck is going on? Just give me a small that everything you just read.

They had just put the old star Wars logo, had it go back. And then we just had a nice text crawl. I need text crawls as a star Wars fan. I admit it. It's not the it's, it's kind of an antiquated thing at this point, but I sometimes I need text crawls as a Star Wars fan. I admit it. It's not the, it's kind of an antiquated thing at this point, but I sometimes need my text crawls. I do appreciate they're only obviously in the real Star Wars movies, but I was a little confused as this all started out. I liked

it. I'm interested to see how it goes from here. Our boy Ken Jack, you know, he's a little bit ahead of us and he says it's really good. I boy Ken Jack, he's a little bit ahead of us, and he says it's really good. I think he said, we said this on the, what was it, She-Hulk? At this point, the basement boys are doing so much stuff. I don't even know where we said it. He said, I think he said it was like a spy thriller version of The Mandalorian, which is about as good a praise as you can get.

So it was, I don't, the way that the first three episodes were kind of put together along with everything going in i was very confused i did remember bby which for the people who do not know this is before the battle of yav yavin i'm gonna say yeah yeah um which is the death star blowing up for people that don't know yeah yes and Yes. And it's always been a very standard time for keeping time in the Star Wars universe. I just haven't seen BBY. And I mean, shit, it was like probably like prequel time. I don't know if they've ever put it on the screen during a Star Wars show or movie.

No, I don't think so. And again, I've just read it. You know, it's the only time I've ever seen it. I always see it on Wikipedia whenever I'm looking up a character or something that's what it is wikipedia is where i've seen it so i i never knew what it was uh so it makes sense so so the battle of yavin yavin all right let's just get this out of the way now because we're gonna be recapping the show a lot yavin it's yavin right i think, again, this is a Northeastern thing. A lot of people say Mario.

A good chunk of this country says Mario. I'm a Mario guy. People get very upset and offended. I don't want to have a Yavin-Yavin battle. Are you a Mario guy or a Mario guy? Honestly, I think I go back and forth. I think I say both. That might be worse.

I'm ambidextrous, yeah. I'm a switch hitter um and this show does take place in 5 bby if you're confused about the timeline at all this is five years before the death star is going to blow up about five years before robe one because that obviously leads right into a no hope so season one the entirety of these 12 episodes in season one will be during 5 bby season two is going to start to get a little bit more confusing because that's going to take place over the course of five years so they're going to start skipping forward it's going to be about a year every three episodes

what what i have to do my my voice for that oh my god i'm not i wasn't ready for that i i have to like read the the spark notes or whatever like these Synopsis to mentally get prepared I thought I could just jump into some Mindless Star Wars stuff Oh man it's like Luke Skywalker has pubes At this point of his life that's all you need to know

Like I'm trying to figure out what Luke's doing He's starting to become a man slowly but surely On Tatooine and The big thing is we're seeing the Empire probably start to get a little lackadaisical with how they're building their empire and maybe outsourcing some shit. You're starting to see some people who have been pissed about how the Empire has been ruling them. And what did they say? Pockets of dissension or something like that? That one guy, he's like, there's pockets of something dissension or something like that one of the guys the yeah that one guy he's like

there's pockets of something here bubbling up so i don't remember because i woke up at three in the morning and watched three episodes back to back so by the time i was done it was about 5 a.m and i was just like star wars fucking rules i i did i did the old morning wake up sienna watched it with me though she watched it with me at night So it wasn't like a full blown It wasn't a full blown Risky show to watch with a kid I'll say that

She just came to the room like it's Star Wars You can watch it if you want to I've learned now That's the other thing Is that this is going to be a little bit more mature Little Star Wars after dark That's what this is And I like that

That was maybe the thing I liked the most about it Was that this feels like Star Wars After Dark. That's what this is, and I like that. That was maybe the thing I liked the most about it was that this feels like Star Wars for adults. It feels like the first show since The Mandalorian that I would actually go out of my way to recommend to someone that's not a Star Wars fan and say, hey, just get into this show because it's really cool. You don't need to know anything about any of

the characters. I actually saw Dave today and I said, Dave, the new Star Wars show is really good. And he's like, I don't really remember Rogue One rogue one much he's like i saw it once and i don't remember it a lot i was like you don't need to like this is a prequel to that obviously that's a gonna be continuation of all of this but if you don't remember rogue one dive right into this watch this and at the end of the series watch rogue one again it'll be like your extra movie it'll be like el camino to breaking bad or whatever but i i really really loved the first three episodes this is a truly different take on star wars it's not casting and

or lands on a planet and finds a child that he has to take care of you know like we get over and over again in star wars it felt different felt different production wise the music was very unique towards star wars i heard like just straight up a drum kit in one episode where I was like, okay, this is fucking unique. It's very, very, very its own thing. And I like that in Star Wars. There was not a single reference. There was not a single point at the screen and go, oh, my God, that's so-and-so from episode whatever. It was just its own thing.

I liked it a lot this was i would say probably already after the first three episodes probably my favorite show since mando i think already star wars show since yeah yeah yes let's listen so we're saying we're saying book of boba fett not including the mandalorian uh side chapters that fucking ruled what else do we have bob bad batch obi-wan bad batch oh it's right obi-wan obi-wan's so good i forgot about it Mandalorian side chapters that fucking ruled. What else do we have, Bob? Bad Batch? Obi-Wan, Bad Batch. Oh, that's right, Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan's so good, I forgot about it.

I'm trying to think. Again, Clem, why are you so negative? I think we can agree we've been through the ringer here. Listen, and yeah, like I said, I loved Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan both. Like, both of those shows I enjoyed week to week. But this is just, it seems like a level above. It's built different with a little smoke and emoji coming out of the eyes.

Emoji. Yeah. For the people that are listening and we're, I guess, so we're going to post this on the podcast feed as well as the house of the dragon, which we were originally going to do just house of the dragon straight. But so many people were asking for this,

that we'll do both. Yeah. The basin boys, we could rock down. And again, if you want your she Hulk, we're still in the she Hulk on the YouTube the youtube as well every week i believe this is bob fox is wearing a star wars jacket right now i am this is the uh this is the jacket that luke

skywalker gets his medal in at the end of a new hope yes i i that's what i said that so um again if you're watching the youtube you'll know a little fun you know bob fox is feeling himself with star wars like we cover a lot of stuff here in the basement across a bunch of different universes. Star Wars is Bob's baby. So this is me at home. This is when you sink into the couch and you just get that amazing feeling.

You're like, I'm home. Chewy. We're home. We were home. Just the smells. When you go home. I mean,

you smell your mama. Fox is making something favorite meal. Rob, what's Rob, your favorite. I made you spaghetti and meatballs. I know it's spaghetti and crabs is actually a staple in the Fox household. Yeah. That makes sense. The Delabella side of things makes sense. What is your favorite meal? By the way, let's,

let's get this out of the way. What's your favorite meal that your mom makes? So it's like, if it's a big day, a birthday, you come home for the first time in a while, does mama Fox making anything for you? See, it's not like a big meal that she makes for a birthday or necessarily anything like that it's her post thanksgiving thanksgiving leftovers pot pie that's my favorite thing in the entire world it's just thanksgiving and every bite i love that this though you brought up spaghetti we saw an andor blue spaghetti it's the new blue milk sienna goes why is he in blue noodles? I'm like, this is just what they do in Star Wars.

And you know what? I guarantee you right now, you go down to Orlando, where our boss completely missed a huge part of the land in Hollywood Studios. I guarantee they're selling the most delicious $25 blue noodles you could ever find on the planet. So what's the latest on the Star Wars trip?

Someone wrote into his podcast this week and asked for an update on it. And he was like, on the podcast, he was like, oh, yeah, we got to do that.

So I was like, all right, this is my opportunity. Yesterday, I strolled on into Dave Fortnoy's office. I was like, we going to Disney? What's the update on the trip? And he looked at his calendar. He asked me what month we're in currently. I said, we're at the end of September right now, Dave. And he said, okay, right after football.

He's like, I think we should get ahead of it, plan it a couple months in advance. And he's like, right after football's over, I think we got to go. Which you're going right after football's over, aren't you? Yeah. Maybe you just stay there. Maybe you'll just do two weeks in Disney. That actually, I mean, I could save on my flight the thousands upon thousands of dollars I'm spending to go down there with my family.

But I guess it's really this trip will be about me and us. Yeah. And the other trip will be about the kids. So I guess that's all right in the end. And I'm sure I'll be living the Dave Portnoy life. I went to Vegas with a guy and I lived in a music video for two days. I was in the front row VIP for Diplo or one of those DJs, you know. And then I had like a cabana at a private pool party.

And it was, you know, on Saturdays for the boys was thriving. And that was during the Bud Light Busters. So, baby, this could be fun. It's gonna be a little different in Disney than I imagine Las Vegas. Yeah, a little bit different. Let's get into Andor. I know there's got to be some people getting antsy right now saying, stop talking about Dave, stop talking about Disney, get into Andor.

This is what we're here for. I hope there's someone there who goes, who's this Dave they keep talking about? I hope there's someone who knows a little bit about Barstool, and they're just fans of the Bates, and we love you guys. Yeah, absolutely. Love you guys. All right. The opening, kind of 2001-esque i wrote down the way

it kind of like uh crescendos the music comes in we see like a planet the this sun coming over it or whatever kind of spy notes though you get those james bond notes in the in the opening theme as well and we get we begin on morlana one that's the planet we're on like you said uh we see some hollow strippers right away. Cassian walks into a bar, and that made me write. Is there going to be VR strip clubs in the future? Is that going to be a thing? You just go to a VR hub?

It looks like a doctor's waiting room or something. You sit down, you put on a headset, and it's just strippers going everywhere? Don't hate that. That was the moment. I think they introduced us very much on purpose To this scene right off the bat And it's saying Star Wars After Dark Has arrived We're going to get some curse words

We're going to get a little bit of PG-13-ish I'm sure the people at Disney, the aforementioned mouse Are a little worried They're like shit, we have Marvel Those guys are so easy, they don't do barely anything Now we're dealing with you guys Now she holds shaking her ass So I loved that we're getting a little bit more adult there's so much shit in star wars where it's like come on this is like these people live in some tough times there has to be some

grimy shit going down yeah there's grimy shit going down on what's the name of this planet again morlana one morlana one morlana two is i heard we're the real freaks we always talk about this i got a little bit of vibes from this planet it's the old 80s trope the smoky alleys right it's it's raining it's always fucking raining people like dancing in bubbles like it almost like amsterdam-esque where it's like the red light district like it looks like there's like dancers that i don't know what they're there for but it is grimy like. Like you said, it's like very dark, dingy alleyway, smoke coming out of everything.

And some people were saying they don't like the fact that this feels like Star Wars without the hope. Like every Star Wars should have this message of hope and whatever. They're like, this is like for adults made for, like it's not made for kids anymore. How do you feel about that? Because I'm fine with it.

I feel like we got enough hope. We get enough variety in the kid department where yeah. Make the fucking weird. So seven in the star Wars universe shit. Hope's on a losing streak right now. In my mind, the star Wars universe in general is on a losing streak right now, other than basically anything Mando related and rogue one,

which at this point came out a billion years ago. Other like, again, all this stuff we've referenced in terms of the most recent projects. If that stuff has hope, if hope, we're going to take hope out and see if that's the ingredient that's giving us this little weird taste in our mouths. We've been saying forever, we've wanted the universe to expand or get a different like fiber kind of

viewpoint on it. And that's what I think we're getting here. So because of that, I'm fine with it. I am looking forward to the point where not only is it this, but we're so far outside of the timeline, either previous or in the future, in the past or the future, that we can kind of just say, all right, we're not looking for if R2-D2 is just popping in the background right now. Oh, is it the Millennium Falcon?

It's like, nope, none of that shit is there. Don't worry about it. So I personally liked it. And it's something I have been asking for. And if I didn't like it, I'd be a big fat hypocrite. So I'm going to have to like it whether I like it or not. I thought you were going to say, thankfully we're so far out of Tatooine

that we're just not going to go back there. Oh God, please don't tell me we're going to go back to Tatooine again. I don't think so. I don't think in Andor we're going to go back to Tatooine again. I don't think so. I don't think in Andor we're going to go back to Tatooine. He's going to this bar, though, because he's looking for a girl from Canary. He says, I'm looking for this girl. We find out

later it's his sister that he's in search of from this planet called Canary, which is a bit of a secret. We know we'll find out in a later episode that a quote-unquote mining accident, imperial mining accident happened there. That just seems like what the Empire says whenever they wreck shit at a planet they're like oh mining accident yeah jeda mining accident there we go um he goes to this bar though the century guards that are

sitting there looking for trouble right away they're kind of like the two guys at the cantina they're two cops that are just giving him trouble giving him a hard time they try to rob him on his walk home too where you're like oh shit something's going wrong here and something does go wrong cassian throws a punch he throws a headbutt at one of them punches one in the throat they fall down and they fucking die clem so we're getting dark right away and then the other one kind of realizes what just happened he's like he's he's dead he's not breathing oh my god and then realizes there was one witness and then the guy who killed him has a gun in his hand so he's like please please we can go in together we could say it was an accident we could say cassian don't

even fucking listen he doesn't hear him out clem he mercs him shoots him right in the face talk about dark star wars talk about star wars me you maybe shouldn't be watching with your seven-year-old daughter. This was unreal. I loved it. It's kind of fucked up that I was like, yeah, I love that he murdered him from point-blank range. That's execution style, I believe, is what they would say in the newspapers and stuff like that. And shout out to you, Bob. You didn't say I have a bad feeling about this. That's because we're living in the new Star Wars era.

We have moved on. I love that we're having mugg new star wars era we have we have moved on i love that we're having muggings i'm not gonna lie again it kind of gives that that uh 80s city vibe do you realize like if you think about all those movies that came out in the 80s it never was sunny it was always raining in those fucking places and that comes with the smoke and all that stuff so uh if he had done any other thing other than kill that guy i'd be like right, I'm a little worried about this show about if they're ready to go. If they're ready to break bad completely, no more hash measures. Let's break bad or as, as bad as you can get by still having Mickey mouse on your checks.

This almost reminded me of, and this is going to be a weird reference for some people, the pilot of the night of, which is one of the best pilots ever. It's amazing and it's just one of those shows where without spoiling it a character does something or thinks they did something where they're like holy fuck i just changed my entire life in a second and now the rest of the show is almost cassian on the run and at least the next three episodes are cassian being like holy fuck i need to correct some mistakes that I made last night. I need to cover up some tracks that I left. He goes back to a junkyard.

He meets up with this droid B2 Emo, which is kind of like a WALL-E R2-D2 mix. It has a stutter. It talks. It actually does speak not like R2-D2, not in beeps and boops, but it speaks English. And it gets pissed on by a boar or something, some kind of weird thing. We get a flashback of Cassian and a ship and immediately, or Cassian and his sister in a ship. Immediately, there's a go. Flashback to, we spent a lot of time in flashbacks.

But they do have a purpose, so I get it. I'll hang in there with the flashbacks in this. And Cassian talks to B2 Emo for a little bit. He heads into town, and he meets up with a friend who's a construction worker, and he sets up an alibi. He's like, hey, I was here last night. You and me did this and that. The friend is like, what, for a sec?

And he's like, oh, okay, yeah. And the friend helps, and he gets in on he's like oh okay yeah and the friend helps and he gets in on it this is a random thing we see a star wars construction site we see a wall where all the construction workers leave their gloves yep what a cool looking wall i want to see that in disney oh that would be sweet let's get let's get fucking crazy with this shit did you start building out some some fun ass stuff give us a sarlacc pit like like touch all the shows um like find parts of the shows that are cool that's a good call about even if there's part of the park that's under construction it would be cool to put like the star wars construction stuff around it uh we go to this security headquarters on morlano one

now this security system the security department is interesting because they're working for the Empire, but they're not necessarily the Empire. Like you said, the Empire is kind of outsourcing some things. They're getting freelancers and they've essentially gotten a freelance security team for this planet. And this one guy goes up to the head of security, or at least I think he's the head, and talks about the guard deaths we had two deaths last night in an alleyway kind of suspicious circumstances we want to look into this and the head of security is like you know what let's not look into it actually it was an accident what a shame send a message to their families i gotta give a crime rate report tomorrow and i i don't want to mention that very real life very like holy shit this is almost

a little too real with the way you're covering up these murders uh the the guy who tells him about the murder though you can tell isn't going to give up on this and he has an all-time punchable face other guy has such a punchable face my exact notes that i wrote as that scene was going on the basic boys are on i know everyone listening agrees with this too a plus casting job this guy's the he's the kid that asked the teacher you forgot about homework you know they say stuff like that you know right before you leave and you're just like fuck this kid man it's the weekend i just wanted to go home and play all weekend he's the worst and that other dude with the white hair which was like just a dude with white hair that's's my guy. I don't think

we're going to see him again. I've become back. Now that Thrones is back, we kind of just all root for our people. This guy is my maybe favorite guy in the entire Star Wars universe. He just, like you said, he tells you, like, look, I don't want to do more work. I know what happened. He's right. He called the exact thing. He's like, these guys are probably

being dicks. They got into something they shouldn't have done. They fucked with the wrong person. He's like, they fucked, they messed dicks. They got into something they shouldn't have done. They fuck with the wrong person. He's like, they fucked, they messed with the wrong, like dark feature person. And then they died. That's fucking awesome.

And it's the truth. And it's very real. It's struck a chord with me in terms of like you said, how, how realistic it is. It's like the wire where it's like the people, the people on the bottom who are, you know,

trying real hard and trying to work their way up and actually get stuff done. And then you have the people at top who have been doing it for years and are just so like broken by the system. They're just like, ah, whatever. And this guy is like, he could be a great fucking security, whatever the fuck they are. Or he's just like, ah, I know what happened. Let's just not, let's just let sleeping dogs lie. So I love that.

I think the guy who made the report who has the punchable face looks like, uh, he could be Ramsey Bolton's brother. Yes. Those like piercing eyes. Kinda. You know what I'm talking about? The dark hair,

white, uh, complexion and everything. And, or goes in visits his friend Bix, who is fixing up parts. It almost looked like pod racer parts, but I think they're some kind of speeders.

And he tells off Bix's punk boyfriend boyfriend comes over right away tim or something tom some bullshit name and he's giving big shit for talking to andor he's like ah you shouldn't be what this guy's a schmuck he's a schmuck since his his first scene and he he's a schmuck when you know we'll get to his stuff later on oh we're throwing the schmuck around schmuck is such a good word and i've i've said i'm bringing it back and i say it for like a week and then i just forget about it that dude perfect way to put it absolute schmuck hate that guy um bix i like though bix is a good character i like bix and one of my i said it i don't know i said it the entire night all three episodes b2mo which is i believe the droid right first of all i don't know this is just me you got you know like my

favorite character ever is r2d2 my second favorite character ever is the millennium falcon b2mo i fucking love this guy i think he's my favorite character in the show right now he's like a wise cracker robot yeah yeah he's got a stutter he has a stutter and that's what i kept saying i kept going but the bix but the bix that's a problem with bees which is ironic because he's a b himself he's b2mo and he kept saying but the bix but the bix and i kept saying and it was it was a dad thing i was pitts and sienna off with it i i really like this guy what's the name of the droid from Rogue One? K2SO. K2SO.

Other than R2, he's my favorite droid in Star Wars. I put him above 3PO. That says a lot. Wow. That's how much I love K2. I'm a huge K2 guy. It is very much a smaller sample size, right? And then if you rewatch, like, I'm sure the original trilogies,

you might fall back and love his C3PO. But he is a great goddamn bot uh droid and i would say you could say disney has messed some stuff up along the way with the characters they've been pretty damn good with the bot so with the droids yeah and it looks like in uh in mando season three it almost looks like r5 is going to join the the crew really yeah r5 finally getting some some some shine shine after blowing up that friggin thing uh another flash bachta everyone's putting paint on at a fire they're putting like little war paint on because they see a ship go down they want to run to the ship and whatnot uh i was a little worried when we started getting flashback after flashback after flashback, like I said, and they were the weak point of the show for me. Every time we went to a flashback, you know, I check my phone or something.

I hope they're not here for the whole season. Yeah. The the the marks on the chin. I was like, oh, they're making a butt. That's that's what i saw that they were just making them those tps and trees throw that into star wars land or like the star wars hotel or something like that yeah give me something with tps and trees were you ever uh did you have a tree house growing up or anything like that never had a tree in my backyard where we could

like make a tree house or anything like that oh Well, that's honestly the way to go for anyone. Anybody who's kind of fits into the Venn diagram of the, my mom's basement crew and the pod father's crew. Some are showing, I'm just looking for a house. The biggest mistake I did was getting a house with way too many trees in it. Less trees, the better. It's just a lot of work. It's if you're in a place that has fall and you're going to just have to rake up all those leaves, it's the absolute pit.

So the Fox family did it right. Trust my i am dreading dreading the next month of life of all the shit i'm gonna be picking up but i would just love me uh a tp t tree peas that's what i was calling them so this punchable face guard his name is cyril karn he starts looking at traffic reports from the night before clearly he's not going to let this go and we cut to andor some debt collectors come for him one of the debt collectors i liked the big alien guy who's just standing above him and he's like you told me i could just stand here like i thought that guy was funny but they they go to collect some money for from him and at the same time bix goes to run some quote-unquote errands and the boyfriend

follows to be like what he's doing with fucking andor she walks into this store and then she goes into this signal tower type thing and she calls a buyer because andor is like i fucking killed these two guards i gotta get off the planet and he has this imperial chip thing that can sell for a lot of credits and then get him off planet. Thankfully Bix has a buyer. So she calls him up. The guard puts out the call for questioning,

like fucking, I don't care what our superior says. We're going after the guy who killed our two soldiers or officers last night. And Andor swaps the chip logs and his ship Pegla in the junkyard doesn't want to know. This is one of his friends. He starts to tell him, like, oh, well, I'm here for.

And he's like, you know what? Don't even fucking tell me. I don't want to know, buddy. And then we get to end the episode. End episode one. Another flashback of him and his sister running and stuff. And just that. That'll always be the thing.

Flashback. Flashback. I had that baby giggle. I thank you so much for that, Bob, for bringing us full circle. I hesitate to give an overall, and that was episode one, and here's what I thought about it, because it does feel

like episode one, two, and three. It feels like a three-part episode. It bleeds right into the second episode. It does, and listen, I know we have die-hard Star Wars fans on here. It's a lot of shit for my old brain to take in. I'm sure we're going to forget stuff.

I'm sure me in particular is going to forget stuff. Totally. Just realize it was a lot of shit to watch in one day. I'm trying to make notes. You got me on. We were right on the same point. That guy has a punchable face. I thought Vetch had potential.

I thought Vetch had potential. And I don't know if we're going to see him much more or at all but uh i thought that was someone that could be that could be good but it also integrate what delivery yes what that made me laugh all right gotta cut the podcast off real quick to tell everyone about game time game time is the exclusive ticketing partner of barstool sports and they are the best ticketing app on the entire internet everyone from barstool uses uses GameTime.

things yeah feels a little like an avatar thing going on here, right? Oh, yeah. It is a bit Avatar-esque because you don't get any dialogue. The kids are speaking their language, and there's no subtitles for it either. You get the kids running around a lot, and young Andor sees a Grand Canyon type thing, but I think it's mining. It's square. It's a man-made canyon type thing and we cut back to this is episode two now the town square we see the bell guy has to hit the bell every morning to i guess wake people up or signify the time of day or whatever the city is shown we get a lot of cool shots of construction workers the wall of gloves again and this was part of the thing i really

loved about andor i love all of the previous star Wars live action shows, but they're all about the title character, like Mandalorian. You're not getting large scenes without the Mandalorian in it. Obi-Wan, same thing, book of Boba Fett, same thing.

Well, yeah, book of Boba Fett kind of flips back. And I didn't get enough. I didn't get, I didn't get enough. Obi-W get i didn't get enough obi-wan and obi-wan either there was like a run here with disney shows like moon knight was in it for like seven fucking minutes there was not enough of the title characters but it just feels like it's about

like the actual galaxy the actual townspeople the the people that are in the city when someone invades like there are full scenes where andor's not anywhere to be seen which is good the and the only reason why that isn't fucking with my brain because i'm with you on that it does it's different and it's named after the character the thing is why did we have to name him andor right how many good goddamn names has star wars come up they're absolutely you don't think andor is a good name it sounds just like andor it's and that is a very very big part of this this thing and i know you know someone like bob fox who is who probably could recite the entire wikipedia off the top of his head and grew up with like the clone wars and has seen all the cartoons and all that stuff

i'm a guy who had three fucking movies his entire life and 90 of that was spent on tattooing and then the rest you know we got hop we got endor that's all i had so it's like just having this name andor and i'm like i'm just basically acting like the planet is named andor at this point because it starts and you get a look at the planet you know it ends up being like the rebellion sign or whatever but i'm just gonna be like andor is just the name of the show home planet home planet's a bit Andor-esque, too. Yeah, that actually is. Jungle, greenery, yeah. Oh, God, what would you do if at the end of this series, they're like, he's like, what's my last name?

They're like, your planet looks like Andor. And it's like, oh, you have an accent. You have a New York accent. You said Andor. And then that's how he got his name. You go Han Solo on it all over again. God damn it. It's the girl from the old lady from the end of Rise of Skywalker

just shows up, and she's like, Cassian what? It what it's like what do you just want to know everyone's last name no nosy lady can we can we get like a live action star wars show where it's just not named after one of the people on the show that's actually a fair question like the bad batch that's the acolyte that that'll be one the acolyte and what what's the Jude law one, the skeleton crew. Okay. So we're really, that's definitely going to be like the name of their crew. It's like, yeah. And I'm guessing the acolyte is like, that's the, he is the accolade. I don't, I don't know much about it. Can we just get something a little,

that's all I'm at. Like rogue one, rogue one. Great name. Yeah. Yes, exactly. Wasn't called the Urso. Bix sees a message on her little computer that she wants up hiding from the boyfriend she minimizes the window when he walks over but he pulls it up and it's a message that andor is wanted for questioning it doesn't say his name or anything but it says a canary male is wanted for questioning and he knows right away who it is so this fucking asshole you see the look on his face you're like i think guy's going to go fucking report our guy. And he fucking goes and reports our guy.

What a fucking tryhard, man. I don't like it at all. I just, it pisses me off. By the way, the Canary thing, I would have never put together that the kids were, I don't know if you were supposed to put everything together about, I mean, he says you hear Casa and you kind of put it together. But if you miss that, but then with the closed captions, team closed captions, it says they speak speaking Canary. I was like, I got it. I figured it out. So I needed that again, three episodes. We're doing

time jumps without telling you we're doing time jumps. They're taught. I was still a BBY five in my head. We're still trying to figure all that shit out. So there was a lot of stuff going on. So I was very happy again, team closed captions. And not only that, but as my pal, let me scroll down the old timeline here, my friend Barry Reynolds, there's a Clem in the Star Wars universe. I don't know what episode that was in, but there's a guy named Clem. It's either the end of this one or the beginning of the next one. But yeah, there is a Clem. I can't believe I missed it in real time, but that's amazing.

In my mind, the writer's a basement boy and he's like, let me slip this little nod in a Clem. I can't believe I missed it in real time, but that's amazing. In my mind, the writer's a basement boy, and he's like, let me slip this little nod in for Clem. Oh, man, I can't wait for Robbie Fox. He's going to be the baddest dude in the galaxy when he shows up. So Andor goes and visits his mother figure. At least I wrote down it felt like his mother figure. And she has this look on her face right away,

like she's disappointed in him, like she's worried for him. And he's like, hey, what's going on? Like, oh, oh yeah everything was normal last night sorry i didn't come home or whatever she's like b2 why don't you read the message and he reads the police report out loud and she knows who it's about he knows who it's about it's one of those things where it's like we find out i think we kind of find out in this moment too the weight of canary what that means when someone says a canary male it was a big secret that he was a canary male so she's like who did you tell that you were canary so it's an interesting thing we find out later on skipping ahead a bit she was the one that found him on that planet and took him off i think it was actually like the guy she found him with i think

that was clem now oh shout out clem yeah i think you're right yeah i'm a hero we're here yeah yeah that's exactly what it was i liked this mother figure let me get her name i wrote down her marva she looks like a marva that is that the there's many like mother figures like that on earth and if you put their name and their just entire existence through a star wars translator marva is a what martha is probably their name right they probably just got real simple with it and they were like just marva we're gonna have a marva show in three years on disney it'll connect to the baru show yeah exactly baru the baddest bitch of the galaxy far far away marva strikes me as someone that would, like, smoke cigarettes in the car.

That car was a station wagon, by the way. And she would, you know, like, the meatloaf would have, like, hairs. It wasn't, she wasn't, like, the best mother figure. She does her Star Wars crosswords. Yep, yep, exactly. She wasn't, like, the greatest, but you know what? She had love, and that's all you can ask for as a fucking orphan from – what's the name of it? What's the name of the planet?

Morlana 1? No, no, no. Canary. Yeah. Marvel 1. Marvel 1. No, now I'm all messed up. The boys are all over the place.

I'm sorry. It's a lot to get three episodes worth of – Three episodes, I know. If you're like, the episode was scatterbrained, guys, we get it. This episode is going to be a little bit scatterbrained. There'll be a little bit more focused in, in coming weeks when we could just watch one episode and be like, all right,

this is what we have to focus on. With Star Wars. You're learning character names. You're learning planet names. You could be learning ship names, all this kind of stuff. And they're all kind of wonky and weird. Your Andor sounds like Andor,

which obviously we already knew Andor coming into this. It's a lot of stuff for us to crunch in to a three-episode, one-episode recap. So the guards, we cut to looking at a Cassian Andor hologram. They've learned that, okay, this one male might be Qunari, Cassian Andor, from the little message from Bix's boyfriend. They see the hologram. The music is played very dramatic in this moment. Very action movie-esque, actually.

And then Andor and Bix meet up at a cantina. She says the buyer is coming in the morning, so don't worry. I got someone to buy your little illegal imperial thing. And Bix's boyfriend followed him, watched him the whole time. He got drunk when he reported casting to the guards, too. So that's another thing. The guy made a drunk dumb decision bix goes to the boyfriend's hut to fuck after that they meet up at the cantina

it's i mean it's it's not like uh they're hiding it either she's like kind of drunk as well she she meets up to fuck and he feels bad about it definitely he's like oh man i just reported her childhood friend to the cops bix's fuck hut put it on a shirt i think we got it bix's fuck hut like it it's safe if it if the hut is a rock and don't come a knocking i want to i don't like the boyfriend we hate the boyfriend hate him he's a good guy that being said if you saw your girlfriend hanging out with her ex-boyfriend, and just they're doing a little crazy, they're already doing shady stuff. Well, it's not ex-boyfriend. It's just like childhood friend.

But let's not. Who you got suspicions about. If you're him, you got suspicions, no doubt. Gun to your, all right, blaster to your head. Let me see if I can do this on the YouTube here. Yeah. Blaster to your head. Move your head over to this side of the screen a little bit.

All right, there we go. Did they ever kiss all right over under one and a half base did they get further than one and a half base i don't think they did i i i think they got a brother you're dead i think they got like a brother sister thing going i'm gonna say no okay i i hope not she strikes me as the girl the girl in the hut next door the tree the tree pea next door that's what she strikes me but i feel like at some point you know it goes either way you know there's a fork in that road of that relationship you're drunk at the canteen all right yeah exactly uh so i kind of can understand maybe him being jealous and that's probably the reason he does it uh but i i can't really hate someone

that's just he's a dickhead but he's getting these he has a fuck hut and they're they're banging in the fuck hut that's the is that the first time we have like confirmed star wars sex i mean it's as confirmed as you're going to get yeah it's as confirmed as as we've gotten it i think because i'm thinking there's so much stuff that i've never seen in terms of but it's mostly cartoons which that would be wild it was like feloni decided the entire third season of clone wars was just basically droids are having sex with people people having sex with uh animals it was nuts yeah they gave bombing the jedi temple a whole new meaning um cyril karn is the guard's name he talks to some crazy subordinate who's like we should go

and fucking kill everyone on the planet let's let's go and show them the force that we have he's like he has that crazy look in his eyes and he's like okay all right yeah i'm listening i'm listening is that the big dude yeah the big dude is that's a very like we've all dealt with people like that in real life too he's just a fucking he's a hothead i don't like him one bit bob i don't like him one bit at all he's dangerous he's absolutely dangerous the kids go to check out the darn the downed ship in the flashback and we see who the buyer is it's get it's stellan skarsgard from goodwill hunting he's been in a ton of stuff as well he's a great actor but he's the thor guy right yeah i that's that's how i know him as and the entire selvig is that his name in uh marvel i

believe so the entire third episode that's all i was i'm just like i kept writing my notes is this the guy from floor i just kept writing it over and over i only had to write it once but i could he's awesome in star wars too his his just he has like a prowess to the way he carries himself that i'm like oh yeah he's the buyer that's perfect casting he's awesome he's a he i forgot he was in goodwill hunting too he's a fucking he has to be one of those he's like a low-key awesome supporting actor i'm trying to think of like who the gold standard that is but he is great awesome bix and her boyfriend wake up the boyfriend's definitely acting a little bit weird b2 goes to andor the mom's acting a little bit suspicious the whole time.

We could go to another flashback. One of the girls pokes a dead Imperial or whoever these guys are out of the ship. And another one is alive, starts to shoot these fucking kids. And he's in that state of being alive, but only like half alive, where it's just like shooting like crazy. They're all hitting them with blow darts. And that's going to be a bad gift. Someone gifts like what I was just doing there with the blow dart motion.

And they go and get him down. They carry his body away. And then it's revealed in real time that everyone from Canary died in this quote unquote mining accident. And Andor just somehow got off. How? Because of Marva. Thank God to Marva and Clem.

They got him off. We don't know at this point though it's just like holy shit he had an alderaan situation or something like how did he get off his planet uh it it had it just feels again a lot of avatar vibes if we have blow blow darts going to blow guns blow darts whatever you want to call it just an all-time sick weapon to use oh yeah i loved it and it was pretty i don't i'm trying to think of how many again since since it feels like the new mature star wars where you're just seeing just dead bodies on the ground eyes open and it's like just lifeless shit i remember seeing the dead ewok which obviously they're cute as hell but it kind of fucked you up. You're like, that thing is dead. When the one is like poking the other one, it's not getting up. That's the saddest moment in that movie.

Yeah, exactly. So now we're just like killing like kids and shit. Basically it's, it's fucking nuts. But the dude taking all the blow darts, it reminds me. Ace Ventura? Yes. Ace Ventura 1 is like my favorite movie ever i loved it as a kid and i saw ace ventura two in the movies and i hated it so goddamn much because they never said what happened

i always hate that about sequels when you never heard about the like i thought him and courtney cox were gonna get married and they just kind of like and ace ventura one is underrated good sports movie and as a sports fan i always appreciate that two has nothing to do with sports however there's three parts of ace ventura 2 that are fucking elite to this day one is the stupid spears in the leg that were i imagine we're talking about right yeah yeah two is obviously the rhino and then the monopoly man scene always gets me every single time yeah yeah so shout out to you i'm surprised that you didn't like ace ventura 2 because growing up i just had both of the movies obviously they were always at my disposal I didn't like wait for Ace Ventura 2 and I always loved both of them

the rhinoceros scene being like growing up that was like the number one most talked about comedic scene in my house I feel like mom and fox thinks that's the funniest thing of all time oh mom and fox loving that is just makes her even more the goat of the goat uh than that she was beforehand now this is the thing. If I grew up not even knowing, like not loving Ace Ventura 1 for years, the second one coming out, if it just both are plopped in front of me, I could love it. And I also haven't seen it since probably like the movie theater

or if I watched it once or twice on video. It's so funny. There's the scene where they're in a little hut and they're dusting everything for prints. And then when someone comes in and sneezes, everything is just like... I remember, I mean, old man Clem over here. I remember when Jim Carrey was on

In Living Color, which was like basically Fox's version of SNL. And on the credits, his name was James Carrey. And it just was there the whole time. And then just seeing that dude's career just skyrocket from there. So you guys tune in for the end or stay for the ace ventura when nature calls commentary uh but i i am going to give it another shot because i'm sure again those three scenes that carries you for a while

so shout out anyone who thought the same thing about the blow darts as they did with the two goddamn spears in the light a team the team of guards arrive for Andor on this planet. And Karn just gives a really shitty speech. It's interesting how they played that. He had no confidence. He was fumbling his words. He was stumbling. He was stuttering. And all of his guards kind of like looked at each other like, all right, I guess we'll go out and get him.

Like, it wasn't like, yeah, Avengers assemble. They were like, all right, we'll look for him, I guess. It was like the Andy Dalton speech. I have to, I don know if I could find that there's there's an old Andy Dalton speech I'll send it to you afterwards we'll see if it's worth putting in the pot and he's like he's like come on guys let's go and everyone just like the Bengals lost that day a thousand to nothing yeah you could tell he's not and he's nervous about it too like the way the actor played it with his uh lip quivering and his eyes like almost getting teary as he did it it was very very well done and then uh the scars guard on the train ends the episode there's just like an old an old grandpa that starts bothering him and

he's like if you can't make it here you can't make it anywhere i i have to say about his name is fuckface by the way right can i Can I call him just Fuckface now? I'll probably just call him Fuckface because of Fuckface and Stranger Things. He only had so much time before we could stop calling him Fuckface. He went by another name by the end. He looks, if you rewatch it,

or I'm probably moving forward if he's around the same age, he looks like the early stages of emo Peter Parker in Spider-Man 3. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh shit, that's exactly who you are and it stuck with me so we'll keep that in mind for episode four and then going into episode three

we begin this one with another flash bhakta where andor sneaks onto the ship this the down ship as a kid and there's a bunch of dead people on it they're all like greenish yellow in their complexion they're all like greenish yellow skin and complexion they're all like greenish yellow skin and he just starts smashing i don't really know why but i think it's because he didn't have technology on his planet it seemed like it seemed like technology was like oh holy thing for them and he just i don't know he treated it like it was one of those smash rooms just started smashing everything up smash rooms smash rooms means you ever go to one of those oh well yeah it means two different things

there's two different things that's all i gotta say i actually had um an idea to do one uh for barstool back in the day i think i i couldn't do it and kfc did it and he filmed it after like one of the thousands of jets losses that was but smash room i always think of uh ronnie and sam in the smash room back in the day oh the smush room oh excuse me bob i apologize the smush hut that's your jersey history right with uh someone like me on the pod if i'm going to the fucking jersey store i better fucking know what i'm talking about here jersey bob who by the way hasn't seen soprano don't act like you're all better than me robert you know what i watched for the first time this is another tangent i watched the rock for the first time, this is another tangent. I watched The Rock for the first time this week, the Michael Bay movie, The Rock.

Holy shit, what a fun time that is. I saw you. You threw it out to Twitter. People replied with The Rock, and you're like, all right, I'm in. And then like five minutes later, you're like, yep, just started, and this is exactly the kind of movie. And I was like, it's so much fun to watch people live tweet something like that for the first time, and you're watching them experience it through their eyes and their thoughts. And I was like, Bob Fox, you you're gonna have a hell of a time i was gonna um try to appeal to you and say i know you want action but something that's a little slower i

don't i think we've been over this you have not seen pulp fiction is that right no i've seen pulp fiction okay okay nights is the one that i haven't seen boogie nights yeah that that's a little that's a little bit different of a vibe i thought you would have been all right with pulp fiction but the rock a plus uh movie for what it is and i think a lot of people i i watched um top gun for the first time over the summer and it was just so over the top 80s it was incredible and and like the rock is that for the 90s if you think about it right it's the same kind of it's a different movie but it's the same uh mirror for its generation so it's it's good all right let's get back into and or cassian starts saying his goodbyes to his friends in town,

people that he knows in town because the buyer has arrived now. He's looking to sell this thing and fucking split. So the buyer talks to Bix and they talk about the risks that this is. They talk about Andor himself and whatnot, and they talk as they walk. Some ships arrive. The guards are on these ships they're clone wars era ships they look like those uh paperclip ships kind of with the two things on the sides but when they land the things go up kind of like the imperial ships which i i was like okay this is a cool blend of prequel era ships original star wars era ships evolution robert it was nice it was nice to see um another flashback marva and i think it's clem are looking for fuel on this ship and they

find the kid they hear a noise they're like what's that noise it's the fucking kid using the cockpit like it's a smash room for some reason and they go and they're like you know what let's take him they drug the kid and they take him with the stephanie man getting married they're like we're gonna take this kid bring him through a drive-thru he's ours now i just went on wikipedia and looked up clem yeah and buddy is there more than one class there are a lot Clems. Is that a popular family name in Star Wars? It's extremely to the point where I have to figure out which one is the one from this episode or from this series. There's Clem Venier. Okay.

Who is a – Yeah, tell us about Clem Venier. All right. Clem Venier is a male Klontani working for Longo 2 Guns. He earned a bounty on his head by Jabba DeSilic Tear, the Hutt, and owed the Hutt 60% of a generous loan.

The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, who was able to kill him. RIP my guy. Killed by Jango. That's alright, though. It's like losing to a great team. Oh, shit. He has a really weird face it looks like a nintendo 64 character and i didn't know um i was like i was but i i thought he was looking the other way i thought it looked like uh what is what is uh judge our banks uh gungan

gungan i thought it was a gungan at first but it's clearly not that would be that'd be great if there was a gungan clem can you see there? I threw him up on the screen for everybody here. This is what he looks like. Yeah, that does look like a Nintendo 64 character. It might be from Star Wars Galaxies, the old role-playing game. Okay, so that's him. His name is Clem the Trigger. That's pretty good, Clem the Trigger.

Clem is usually just good enough. You don't need a nickname. You get a nickname on top of the name Clem's good Clem the trigger. That's right. Clem is usually just good enough. You don't need a nickname. You get a nickname on top of the name Clem. Then we have Clem Stato, who is from the Star Wars The Old Republic Galactic Strongholds game. Then there's Clem Andor, who is our Clem. So he is. His last name. His wife.

That is his last name. His wife is Marva. So I am the stepfather i guess even though i i took the name clem andor that's sick i think i think andor is my favorite show now just because i have a clem andor it's like named after me i think he was wearing like almost like a jacket like me i think it was like an orange yellow type jacket we got to get you like some clem merch that's a clem merch lucasfilm you got to be listening if you have clem merch out there we need it we're the one podcast that needs it the most give us first dibs when then there's clem robbins with 1b and clem

robbins with 2b i think it's the same guy and he's a comic book letterer so uh from from the 70s so it would be so funny if it was two different guys in the star wars universe that's how detailed they get they're like no that's the clem robbins with one bit you're thinking a different clem robbins you gotta go to tatooine for the other guy i wouldn't put it past these fucking nerds man it's so good being back in this crazy galaxy again there's so much just wild stuff i love it i absolutely love it uh the guards arrive at marva's house and this is a scene that reminded me quite a bit of the Star Wars holiday special where Imperial stormtroopers and guards arrive at Chewbacca's house while he's not home, and they question his family and intimidate them. Cassian talks to Bea while the guards are at Marva's house over his little chip thing.

It's kind of like when Obi-Wan and what's-his-nuts're sending the messages back and forth. Leia's dad and the Imperials overheard it. And I was like, oh, shit. Goddamn morons. Yeah. So it was one of those things Cassian's trying to talk to Bea. They all hear it. The buyer arrives to meet Andor.

Stellan Skarsgård arrives to meet Andor and starts asking him a lot of questions. Like the negotiations for this thing aren't going great right away. They're just on two different pages. He's asking about Cassian more than he's asking about the item that Cassian is trying to sell. And he brings up, he's like, oh yeah, that's not really where they hung your father, is it? Cassian's like, what the fuck did you just say about my father? How do you know about me? How do you know about my father?

He's like, I want you to come with me, Cassian. And we get thrown into a whole new show basically from this moment on because it's like cassian is about to fucking join the rebellion we know it cassian don't know it but we've seen rogue one he's about to join the rebellion spoiler we've been spoiled spoiled by us already i'll be honest i had him on the sus list at this point he's still on the I don't know what to make of this shit Do we trust him like how much do we trust him Because I feel like this is the kind of show that might Even provide a different

Look at the rebellion in that like Hey maybe not all the people in the rebellion Are great people The rebellion is actually bad From a certain point of view See we're bringing it back to the old Star Wars It all ties back to the old Star Wars Like he's not around by the time we get to Rogue One right

So either he's gonna Die he's not gonna be around Or he's gonna turn Oh I mean He's on the sus list I'm not gonna say he's Number one on the sus list but I don't I like you said I don't know if I can trust him I don't know if it's

A gray area thing but there's just something like they would have made it very clear i think from the beginning if this guy was a good dude i still don't know what this fucking or do we know what the cube does or is are we just supposed to think that it's like a badass thing i probably should in my mind i kind of thought it was like the uh the thing from rise of skywalker that gets them off the planet it's like a chip that you could put in because they called it something untraceable they're like it's untraceable so it made me think it could get you past like a border or a boundary that you you shouldn't be able to with the imperial ruling or something gotcha i don't really know though it kind of looked like

it was a it was like a big box you know what it was It was the old pay-per-view box. It was a black box. It was a black box. Yes. Breaking news. It shows you the extra Twi'lek channels. It's like, I saw you at that strip club. You want to see something? You can see all the boobs you want, my friend, for free in your own living room right here. And the Imperial takes that shit seriously.

They're like, you are not. Listen, you can kill our guys, but you're not pirating our shit. Oh, there is no way Palpatine is like. He hates people. Again with the Palpatine teen is like oh no i forgot to say emperor i i've already butchered my like my the way i talk so not so much on this podcast uh god damn it but yeah paps he doesn't like when people are rubbing one out he's very much like a man of god other than like killing he can't after after mace hit him with the with the lightning and stuff it's a well-known fact that she can't jerk off she can't go now was she laying pipe is that how ray was born like remember we went over this yeah but then they were trying to say clones and shit it's like i i

kind of think she did some kind of gross like artificial insemination shit don't you say gross not not gross no no not that not that that's gross I think he specifically did some Gross shit on purpose yeah no you're probably Right about that have you ever heard of Darth Play just a gross People oh man I think I wrote a blog about the emperor

Fucking a lot like yeah There's definitely a clickbait blog for Our rise of Skywalker Movie so Oh I Was trying to make it the entire episode with Tom without There is definitely a clickbait blog for our Rise of Skywalker movie. So I was trying to make it the entire episode without talking about the emperor fucking people. But here we are. Vix realizes her boyfriend ratted at Cassian. She's like, how could you, you motherfucker?

And she's right. I mean, she really got to bed with the wrong person. Quite literally got to bed. The Smush Hut. Can we call it bed with the wrong person. Quite literally gotten the smush hot. Can we call it the smush hot? Yeah. The star Wars smush hot. Uh, and the whole town starts banging on these,

these pipes to war. I thought it was maybe to warn Cassian, but it's kind of just an overall, like fuck the Imperials type bang. And I think, and they're, they're sure they get surrounded. The Cassian and the buyer they're

like oh fuck what are we gonna do here and the buyer there's a real pulls a baller move and he's like oh i planted some slap charges before i even came in like never plan your uh entry before you plan your exit or something his exact i wrote it down it was so fucking good build your exit on the way and what a line so good so so badass and one of those lines that makes cassian in the moment be like who the fuck am i dealing with right now like oh my god i'm in over my head so he hits the slap charges they blow up and then they get into this awesome shootout where a bunch of anchors and things that are hanging up above the place that they're in start falling.

So it's like Cassian wants to go back for the box. He's like, I fucking forgot the box he's running back, but then something falls and it's like an, an anvil is about to hit him on the head. Basically. It was almost a hint of Indiana Jones in that way. And how like creative it was and how creative a shootout it was.

It wasn't just your standard. I'm jumping over something. Pew standard. I'm jumping over something. Pew, pew. I'm jumping over something. It was more unique. It was him going for something. We had the buyer being like,

are you a fucking idiot? Leave it, dude. We're getting off this planet regardless. Like leave it. Let's go. I really liked this. This was one of the highlights of all three episodes for me.

So yeah, I feel like people like me who were a little confused about what was going on or wasn't sure how much they like. I wasn't sure how much I liked the way it was. I was like, you know what? Give it the three episodes. And I feel like this is the one that they're like, everyone's going to have a good taste in their mouth by the end of this one, no matter by the end of this scene or this sequence, no matter what. And I love that.

I even love like the banging on the stuff. Like you said, it was it was like as much it was like I feel like a battle cry at first. But then it just was like, fuck everybody as well. And then when they're saying like once they stop banging that's when you have to be concerned he's like why should i and that's when like everything starts popping off i fucking love that part you know what it reminded me of a little bit too was the old nike basketball commercials like yeah and then everyone starts adding into it i i absolutely loved it or the uh was it wasn't frosted flakes as well frosted flakes the we are tigers i don't remember that i feel like there was a commercial like that

sort of maybe around the little league world series um the guards get bicks they kill her shitty boyfriend so he's out of the show fuck that guy he deserved it but the guards are absolutely scrambling the guards are like what is happening what's with this banging they're not prepared for what their guy got him into karn and marva like you said has that amazing speech where she's like you really have to worry about when the noise stops but she tells the guy that's what a reckoning sounds like she shows no fear she's just this badass old woman who's kind of like fucking, fucking with the soldier, like, putting fear into his brain. And then the banging does stop.

And we cut to Karn. And Karn is, like, looking around, kind of, like, getting a little nervous. And Cassian puts a fucking gun to his head. And he's, like, drop the weapon. Luthen, in the back, the buyer, is like, kill him. Fucking shoot him. I'll shoot him if you don't and it's like oh all right this guy means business Tony I don't think we see Cassian

shoot him because they tie him up later on so we don't see the decision he makes right away but we see one of the guards tries to escape he goes to fly away he was anchored down on his ship and they anchor everyone down they realize like the guards are now under siege from the town and everything and they're like oh fuck we like the guards are now under siege from the town and everything and they're like oh fuck we're surrounded karn is tied up using him as bait though because a speeder pulls around they all shoot that they were using that speeder's fucking bait too it's it's a hat on a hat on a hat they eventually get off on on a speeder of their own it's played very dramatic as they're leaving we see all these

character shots it's looped in with the flash bach that as well everything's woven in together and this is just a big we're getting off the planet montage cassian looks at luth and ship too where he's like this is a fucking high-tech ship he's still got a little bit of that child in him where he sees something technological and he's like whoa this is crazy ain't it brilliant move to put out the first three episodes together. Because if we just watched the first one, I think we'd be like, oh, it was good. I think if we just watched the first and the second one, I think it'd be like, yeah, it's a good show. Watching all three, getting to see the full arc of what they put together here made me go, oh, this is great.

What they're putting together here is something special. Yeah, it gives you the full experience And I talked to Ken Jack and I think he said That there's the fourth one Isn't like you're not gonna be like alright We don't need three episodes at a time It's gonna feel like it stands on its own So I agree with you

You said the fourth one you're gonna specifically love We don't know why or what that means There's a moment and he sent me A text after the Clem thing that I found that I found out. And he's like, he's like, I knew you love this one. He's like,

and I was like, is this what you're talking about? He goes, no, no. Episode four. There's a moment. And I'm with my head.

The thing I'm hoping for is low bot shows up. That's what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping for my guy. Jar Jar. You can be like, Jesus Christ. You're not hoping for that, are you?

Hoping for the truth, Bob. Yeah. I'm always hoping for the truth that's what i'm hoping for the the my favorite part of this series so far other than the smush hut was when they tied the rock the all the rubble and rock to that ship and it brought it down that is the like just seeing the like with the ewoks you saw how they were able to take down the empire using sticks and logs and and rocks and all that stuff but i like the ingenuity of tying shit to a ship and then watching it break you know crash on its own and the bring the bacta did you hear that bring the bacta that made me laugh out loud shit did you hear that yeah there was an s bomb dropped i think that's the first shit ever muttered in the star wars universe can confirm it

was so we got sex we got shit it's a beautiful thing and you get like the almost like ptsd moment where he that guy's just staring and he's like frozen like come on let's go this is this is so let's see 77 to 2022 what is that right there that's 45 years we've been in star wars for 45 years now and that was the first moment where you actually saw the total war on somebody like yeah their mental state of things it's kind of crazy when you think about it so uh i thought rogue one was the first thing to like open that door and open that door crack for us door and crack for us And Andor's kind of kicking it down Being like this is what the fucking war was like

Motherfuckers It was mean, it was gritty It's raining all the time That's the show and I like it I'm down for it I'm excited for next week I'm excited for everyone to join us next week Thank you for joining us this week

Before we get out of here Clem What are you hoping to see out of the next nine episodes this season uh let's see we know we're getting sal guerrera we know we're getting mon mothma oh really i didn't know that uh so i'm thinking let's see let's so we're thinking like uh new hope era kind of stuff so i'm trying even if it's not something specific like for me i'm hoping to see a lot more spy stuff and i assume that'll come more when he gets into the rebellion and they start like sending him on missions if they start doing that but i'd like to lean into the espionage i feel like the first three episodes were way more drama action but we've heard a lot of that like spy chatter yeah a little maybe maybe

some thronesy stuff where it's politicking and you know back backdoor deals and shit like that and because like again the fact that lando did that backdoor deal with vader was like man that was such a dirty move but i understand why you did it that should always that should work no matter what genre you're in so that and then kind of a little more degenerate shit i want to see some gambling responsibly but um some drugs underbelly right more sex i want underbelly i love underbelly we see a little bit of it and like the bad batch and stuff like that but in the cartoon it doesn't hit the same no when you're dealing with stuff where it's like a pg-13 they're dropping sex they're dropping shit you can smell the sex in the room when the vix is entering um

i know this isn't a fan service show too they said there's no fan service if it was a fan service show going to the bar from bad batch would be awesome you know the bar where they constantly drop omega off and she plays like the arcade games and eats the popcorn or whatever that it's post-order 66 so that bar is probably around in this time But I also liked we didn't see a single planet We knew That's but they all still felt Star Wars I'll tell you what I want to see

Not tattooing That's the answer I do not want to see tattooing For even I don't want to mention I don't want To even being like a thought in the brain oh there's this Kid on tattooing that's sniping womp rats No no no no no don't give me Any be like a thought in the brain. Oh, there's this kid on tattooing that's sniping womp rats. No, no, no, no, no. Don't give me any of that. Just give me some fucking under bed, some seedy shit.

I'm a barstool employee. I like the fucked up stuff in life. All right. Tune in next week for the Andor episode for recap. Supposedly the Clem episode, an episode that Clem loves. Maybe it's just like the Clem episode. Maybe it's about Clem Andor the whole time. And they're like, you're gonna love it
