You listen to it. If you're coming up with questions, you throw some 3C in, like let's get a little intergalactical with the My Mom's Basin while we're down here.

So I like that. It's winter. We got some snow coming. We're going to be inside. 3C is the way to go. I like that. You remember last week, Rogu on his little stone

where he was like all concentrated. That's going to be you with your 3C. Nobody's even going to be able to bother you listening to my mom's basement the the mando in your life trying to walk up to you boom bounced right away by the three chi cloud those guys i just picture people like sitting on their computers and there's just a fucking force force field coming off of them going into the sky like that's you see a blue butterfly it's like's like up probably must be dipping into the three chi right now we just had a blue force butterfly go through when my mom's basement blows up to call her daddy levels we need to have a commercial like with a million dollar budget where it's like oh what's jim doing it's like oh he's listening to my mom's

basement and he's just got the grogu beam and an office all right let's get into the mandalorian chapter 15 this was directed by rick famuea i i believe i said his last name wrong there i don't know how to pronounce it but this guy's a beast so i i apologize because he did the bill burr episode last season he did the bill burr episode this season and man i loved both so we opened up in a tie fighter scrapyard we saw prisoners breaking these ships down very cool star warsy you know vibe we haven't really seen before and we get a close-up on migs mayfeld this is bill burr's character from last season if you don't remember he kind of betrayed mando double cross mando crossed him locked him up put him in prison cara dune approaches him she says

hey we're gonna let you out he's kind of annoyed. He's like, I'm fucking what? Come on. I'm doing something here. And Boba Fett walks out of the ship out of the slave one with a brand new paint job. He either buffed the shit out of his armor or he repainted it. I don't know what he did. It looks tremendous though. Mayfeld has a great line. He goes, Oh, I thought you were another guy. And then Mando walks right out and he's like, Oh fuck. Mando lays out the plan he's like listen i gotta find moff gideon bilber calls him crazy but he says if you want me to do this we have to find an imperial access terminal on morak he said there's this planet morak pretty abandoned but there's one secret imperial base there and if he gets to that they'll be able to find moff gideon

this is the whole setup for the episode we know right off the bat that hey this is going to be Bill Burr from the start I was happy with it obviously as a Bill Burr fan and I dug seeing Boba Fett's armor all clean that was my first note Boba looking clean and that's something we've never seen before and I love that they you know obviously the Boba we all know and love he was always that scrappy dude and he had those those chinks in the armor for lack of a better term um it was it was awesome i mean it kind of makes boba like even more badass in my mind he starts as this dude just beating people with a stick without his armor and now he is fucking boba up you know ten thousand fold uh and again it's best car so it's like he's clean and he's strong we have a full fully operational Boba Fett at our hands here, which is awesome.

I wrote down inmate 34667 because I felt like that was definitely some sort. I know Star Wars does a lot of funky stuff with numbers and stuff like that. Turns out I don't think that was anything. I was like, I was hammering it down. Yeah, I don't know. That's nothing, right? I don't think so. Okay, cool.

And again, I mean, we say this every episode. I just love seeing like junked tie fighters i just thought that was so cool just seeing the remnants of them and stuff like that uh that that was a pretty cool visual that's the one thing there's been a lot of debate lately about formulaic stuff with mandalore and all that stuff like just like if you just sit back and just enjoy how fucking cool it is like this is all fictional you know what i mean and it's like they just make these worlds like they do such a good job making you feel like you're on these planets and they do a much like it's just incredible so i was a huge fan of just the the junkyard and all that stuff i feel like specifically they make you feel like you're in the star wars

universe like it all feels right it all feels like it fits this was i said in the lights camera barstool recap it felt like the Star Wars version of, like, prisoners stamping license plates. That was exactly what I compared it to. I was thinking, like, man, God bless those prisoners for just taking care of that shit. Like, I don't know. Prisoners do anything other than, like,

license plates is what I feel like is the thing that everyone thinks of because that's what I thought of as well. What else do they do? Like, has any of the listeners, you guys been to prison do you have anyone in prison like tell us what else do we have what else can we tip our caps to the prisoners of this country for because license plates that that seems like a pain in the ass and whatever bill burr was doing that that fuck is i mean obviously they pick up garbage right we see the people picking up garbage it's like a side of the road yep yep but like other than that garbage and license plates they

have those industries on lock what What else do they do? What else can they do? My buddy always thought – this is kind of a fucked up – not fucked up, but my buddy was always like snow removal. He thought homeless people should – they wanted to get into homes or whatever. They just go out and eat all the snow. I don't think that really the amount of work it takes to do that would really equal getting a house. Wait. He thought homeless people could eat snow he always thought homeless people should eat the snow for snow removal if they couldn't like get it all done i don't it was a very flawed plan it didn't

make sense but that was the first thing that came out i was like let's have prisoners eat snow to get it out of the way but it's on hoth that's what they're doing yeah they're like they're just fucking pac-man going through the snow you just see president of three four six six seven in hoth and they're just you know eating away all the snow so they can set up their little shield generators in the spots they want to um i saw someone with a theory about boba's armor on twitter and i wish i remembered their name so i could give them credit for it but i don't they said boba may have repainted his armor because when it was in Cobb Vanth's hands, all of the markings and all of the scraps represented his fight. And Boba now wanted the armor to once again represent his struggles,

his battles, and it's kind of like a mark of honor to have it marked up. Ooh, that would be cool. And then if by the end of Boba's quest or his time on Mando, it's like all dinked up again. Right. And it kind of like, like, Oh, that was that, that episode in this. And that's cool. I didn't think of that. And maybe, you know, if Boba repainted his armor or did whatever, does that open the door to Mando painting his armor? Like, will they be like, Oh, I've got some Beskal paint in the back.

Keeping up with the Joneses, the Mandalorian version keep it up with the joneses the mandalorian version to keep up the joneses i like that or it's like what's the uh what's the pottery scene and what is it ghost the patrick crazy movie like we're gonna see like boba right behind mando just like painting the armor showing them how to do it i mean that's a fucking ober move if i ever heard it you know getting nice and close so i can see imagine oh my god i have this mental visual of fucking mando and boba fucking making their little car oh my it's like everyone's talking about uh mando and his little love on sorcon or whatever that planet boba and fennec no uh uh uh it's boba and mando that would it was that one of the shows that was announced don't

you tell me that there's a love show that i'm about to get dropped on my head no no no so mando and migs infiltrate this imperial juggernaut it's basically like this big giant tank it's kind of a long tank kind of a train style vehicle and they had a great back and forth where they were deciding who was going to go in for this mission. And it's dependent on, you know, hey, what if they see our face? Will they recognize my face? Will they recognize your face? And it wound up being Bilber and Mando because they looked at Boba

and he was like, something tells me they might recognize my face, which is great. Like, he's the fucking clone. Yeah, everyone's going to be like, oh uh he's the fucking clone yeah everyone's gonna be like oh he's a clone trooper um he had it and then fennec had outstanding warrants and caradune had outstanding warrants and they all had that so they go down and the big thing was hey how are we gonna get in if you're not gonna take that helmet off mando he's like listen i'm not gonna show you my face but i'll take the fucking helmet off they They do a little Luke and Han from A New Hope.

They steal some Stormtrooper outfits. They throw that on. I loved Mando. He had like a hockey bag full of his gear at the end that he just threw on, like the Beskar thing. And they had a great back and forth as they went into town before any chaos unraveled. Just where Mando was kind of given Ms the cold shoulder and migs was cracking jokes

like bill burr cracks jokes and it was there's already so many great memes of just like my uber driver trying to talk to me me trying to listen to my music in the back um but this was just classic bill burr and we even got a little back and forth here that reminded me of the last jedi not to trigger you where he started saying hey we're all the same to these people, like people of this planet. They want us to leave them the fuck alone. The Republic, the Empire, they don't want order. They want freedom.

I enjoyed the character-building moment between Mayfeld and Mando here. Yeah, so the fact that it's almost like a meme at this point or the old cycle or the – it's almost like a meme at this point or the the old cycle or the it's like in trouble what do you do it's like the arrow find stormtroopers kill stormtroopers arrow and then like wear their gear and sneak into place like that is that the empire had many faults you know in having these clones one of them was people could just act like stormtroopers it's happened i think like every series we've ever had with star wars but again it makes sense seeing mando actually take off the armor was like a holy shit like he truly cares about this child and stuff like that it was it was obviously a big step

um i loved that mando calls him fet he just called him fet for short he didn't call him boba or anything he just called him fet and again it is always weird when they call him mando when he's just a mandalorian it's not like you know the only guy um uh traveling on the slave one was just like oh shit we're just like traveling in the slave one that's just what we're gonna do it's like our home ship now basically we lost the razor crest now we have the uh the slave one the the way he sheds the armor and we're like all right he's shedding the mvp of the season so far so that was the first thing I thought of. I also love that Bill Burr just took the helmet off. I was like, fuck it.

I'm not driving with this thing on. I'm just going. I mean, we've all been there. When you're driving, you got to be comfortable. No matter what it is. You can keep the windows down. If you need to have your little snacks, you need to do whatever, your radio on your station.

If you need a cold, whatever it is, driver gets to choose whatever it is. So Mando, as a co-pilot so um mando as a co-pilot how are you as a co-pilot i wanted to ask that when you're going on like long road trips i think i'm pretty good co-pilot i think i'm good with the tunes i could always put on a good playlist if you know the driver needs something to switch and i would say a good co-pilot yeah i think i'm a really good one too um i'll go in i'll get you the snacks i think i'm good at the snacks i i will i'll just yield to whatever you want to talk about. We can, you know,

we'll keep the conversation going. And again, I think tunes is a very important part. And also I, I can fucking, I know my way around a GPS. I'll get us there. I use the phone. I'll fucking, I'll waste it. I'll get us there as quick as possible. I know she doesn't listen to podcasts. My wife is like the worst fucking co-pilot of all time. I do tell her a lot. I'm like wife is like the worst fucking co-pilot of all time. I do tell her a lot. I'm like, you are so bad at co-pilot.

Like we have to turn around five times. And she's terrible at reading the GPS. She's like, oh, it's, you know what? Like it won't turn the right way. It's like, it's showing you, you know, upside down or it's like a left, but it looks right. Cause of the way the map has gone. It happens to us every time. And I'm like, I can't do everything right now.

I have to drive. So I, I kind of like, I love having a good co-pilot because i know what it's like having a bad co-pilot and i guess you know we'll get into mando and all this stuff you help with but i just love bill burr like bill burr is such a dude he's like i'm not wearing that fucking helmet like i'm going in to save it we're risking my life for this so we can get out of the junkyard like fuck you mando uh but yeah them kind of going back and forth very big bill burr it was a very big star wars social construct of what the universe is like and um even like it was almost a little bit of religion talk in there i felt at some point and i felt like it was almost like eating no meat on friday it's like all right i kind of believe in this stuff i'm not super into

it but uh you know it's like the people who don't even on fridays but also don't go to church and i love that megs called him out on his code and he was like it's like your code he's like you changed he's like you first you said you can't take the helmet off now you can't show your face which one is it and Amanda was just silent it's like you fucking got me there I don't want to answer that one man so I love that he actually like kind of called him out on that and had a point yeah that's I think that's kind of like the big um takeaway from this season i'm sure you know whenever people like you know they teach college courses on simpsons and the wire and all that stuff they ever teach a course and i'm star wars shit if they ever teach a course on mando

it's like the the you know differences and what you perceive your religion to be and then as you learn and all the different you know ways that has split over the years like mando's entire world has basically changed now that he's seeing all these not even just like people but mandalorians all the different you know ways that it has split over the years like mando's entire world has basically changed now that he's seeing all these not even just like people but mandalorians who have different views and he's fucking hanging with the fat man who completely has a different thing but then you you mentioned it the thing with boba casually like referencing how like of course they fucking know what i look like they'd be like you're every fucking idiot in the galaxy right now um that was very cool so i thought

that was a cool little nod that not every like fan would pick up on immediately yeah that was great as this thing is going well they have explosives in the back they're kind of it's it's like speed but reverse you know they have to stay going very slow they can't go too fast because they they got i think it's called like ridonium or something it reminded me of the the solo thing the coaxium from solo where it's like this stuff is super explosive we got to get it there fast they get attacked by pirates these pirates from the planet um show up on these skitters that kind of reminded me of the ones from rise of skywalker actually the ones from like the pisana festival that they traveled on okay come up alongside them they jump on top of the ship that they're on the juggernaut and they

all got thermal detonators they're trying to blow up the coaxium they're not even really trying to steal it i think they're just like fuck the empire down with the empire mando jumps up and now he's in stormtrooper armor so he's like oh fuck he immediately gets hit and like the shoulder plate shatters you know and it's like ah like i wish i had this best car right now he's starting to fight all these guys off. Bill Burr in the front seat is losing his mind. Talk about an anxious mess. He's like, are you kidding me?

Are you shooting me in the stuff? Are you shooting a blaster? And they just have this absolute all-out war on top of it. Wave after wave of pirates came, and it got down to the end. They were super close to the, I don't know what you called it. The Imperial base, I guess the secret Imperial base and all of these pirates light up thermal detonators.

They go to throw them. And what do we get to save the day for the first time ever? A TIE fighter. We're lucky and happy to see a TIE fighter. It's pretty cool to get the roles flipped like that and then see Imperial celebrating. It was like the end of A New Hope when the X-Wing gets back in and all the Rebels are celebrating Luke. Like we kind of got that scene flipped.

We saw Stormtroopers so happy. I love being on the bad guy side in this case, right? Because you're hoping these guys get there. And it is kind of cool to see how they're like, yeah. What's the Empire forever? They empire forever they're they have like their phrase or something like that like long live the empire long live the empire yeah that's what it is um and i had made a note too i was like uh i never thought i'd be happy to see tie fighters and stormtroopers and i think they said that in the episode and it was definitely a rick dolan

meme moment um mando used to that best car there and having it like wiped away losing the mvp that's having your backup quarterback he's like oh shit like this this isn't so easy right here um i guess it kind of like speaks to mando being a little bit more of a you know pretty decent fighter hand to hand because he doesn't have all these bells and whistles with his armor it's the second episode in the row where he was you know at a disadvantage he didn't have the jet pack last week and stuff like that and this week he loses everything basically right um that was that was pretty interesting and he fucking it was a little bit over in martel he was fucking wielding that stick like the viper i kind of loved that i noticed that i felt like they were trying to show us like

hey this guy's pretty good in hand-to-hand combat so eventually in the next episode when he pulls out that fucking beskar spear to go against that moff gideon fuck it's like oh it makes sense that he can actually hold his own that moff gideon fuck bob's fired up right now i love what bob has like you know we all are rooting for the good guys against the bad guys but like moff gideon is just like the bane of your you just probably wake up you have a dartboard in moff gideon's face on you're throwing darts at it all i mean we didn't even get to see the little guy this week, Clem. I'm losing my mind.

It's been like, oh, we didn't even get to see a little peek of him. Fucking Moff Gideon. I mean, listen, if we don't get this baby back by the season, Moff Gideon better watch his fucking back. I will manufacture a way to go to space before I wait until season three to see Grogu. So this is the second to last episode right so the we got one more the penultimate we have to call it the penultimate episode even if

nothing fancy fun happens in it like uh you know the usual game of thrones penultimates there's gonna be a real chance that baby is going to be in a place we don't want him to be and we're gonna have to wait a long time do we know what the deal was with Three's production? Because, I mean, COVID was in the midst of all this. Are we waiting this for long? December? Like Christmas, I think. Like next Christmas. So it'll be longer.

Somebody actually tweeted me. I don't have the thing in front of me. They said that they thought, I don't know if this was announced during the Star Wars stuff, that Mando might debut on Christmas Day. And that would be a Saturday, which then brings us to the point from last week where we need mandos on saturdays because if god forbid something bad

happens to baby yo it doesn't ruin the work day you can just kind of get through it on your weekend which is very important so actually i'm kind of interested to see how that goes but this is what what i thought of if this is like an empire-esque cliffhanger is god bless i mean i don't know many people who were in this boat i know ra i know um large anybody who left that theater you got han and kryptonite and carbonite luke lost a hand shit's fucked you'd wait three years for jedi god bless those people that had to go through all that i don't even like before like when i used to switch the vhs is that to go from empire to jedi like that that just felt like the pit in your stomach. I could imagine three years,

let alone, you know, give or take a year if that's when it's going to come out. And if our boy baby, yo is kind of just, uh, in a, in a bad place.

So Mando and Mayfeld, they're welcomed with open arms. Everyone's fucking high five at him. They're like, this is fucking best stormtrooper we've ever seen. This guy's a great shot. He's dodging things. He's good. maybe what school did he go to unreal they walk and they see this imperial access terminal which immediately i was like it kind of looked like

you know how we have that little uh bedding terminal in the office now i was like we need one of those imperial terminals right next to it for the nerds locate moff giddy and that fuck and they they spot it mayffeld goes oh i can't go in there that's my fucking former boss i used to report to that guy valen hess and mando's like all right well what the fuck can we do he goes mission's over you got to take your helmet off to access that thing it's got to scan a face so i think we got to call this thing mando goes i'll be right back give me that thing and here we see more than any other time in the series that this guy really gives a shit about Grogu.

He cares about Grogu more than his code at this point. He goes in. I love that he gave it a shot with the helmet on first. He's like, I don't know. Maybe this will fucking work without the helmet on. It did not work. It immediately alerted everyone in the room that something was up because it was like, did not work.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6. He has to take it off. He looked a lot better than he did last season when he took his helmet off because last season he was on the verge of death. This season, he kind of just looked like Oberyn Martell, looking like a snack Pedro Pascal. He inserts the little three-cheap pen. He locates Moff Gideon.

I know some people are speculating that the region that like it was either above uh the hut area which is supposed to be like in chaos after the death of java it was known to be like complete anarchy after java died either that or they said it was very close to camino we may be going back to the home world of boba and the cloning planet the cloning planet would make a little bit of sense so he locates him and just as he gets that this imperial officer valen hess walks up to him he's like sir can i ask you a few questions he's got a western accent for some reason and this guy actually if you didn't recognize him he played joe chill in batman begins he's the guy that shoots batman's parents that's what i knew him from i didn't recognize him he played joe chill in batman begins he's the guy that

shoots batman's parents that's what i knew him from i didn't recognize him right away but afterwards placed it and mando is so anxious he's so uncomfortable and he just he's just like uh uh uh right as it's getting dicey bill burr comes in to save him and he's like oh this is my commanding officer he's tk1275 whatever his thing was he's like we call them to save him and he's like oh this is my commanding officer he's tk1275 whatever his thing was he's like we call them all all brown eyes he's like you got to speak up to him we lost pressure and uh this hearing's bad they try to get him out but this guy demands let's go sit down for a drink as they sit down they start talking about operation cinder bill burr may i just i'm gonna call him bill burr I keep going to call him Mayfell, but he's fucking Bill Burr.

Bill Burr says, listen, I was there. And Operation Cinder comes from Battlefront II, the video game. And this was part of the Emperor's contingency plan where he decided, if I die, we need to wipe out a lot of our own because I don't want the Empire to ever get as strong as it was with me without me. So in Operation Cinder, it is to be assumed that this guy, Valen Hesse, killed a lot of his own troops just for the sake of killing his own troops. And Bill Burr was on a planet where he could have been one of them. He was showing signs of a lot of people are bringing up PTSD. Sort of that was a narrative of the episode and then eventually when they get to a toast he can't hold it in any longer in a peter quill and thanos moment he just in a

fit of rage fucking shoots this guy he shot first bill burr shoots first yeah he that's i i didn't think of the ptsd side of things bill burr plays that role too perfectly of like yeah he was you know on the empire side he's a bad guy this and that but you can tell he he's a changed dude and he he i mean by the end of it like a great monologue like a very good acting scene from bill burr yeah it really was um first of all when you said camino with uh boba we were gonna go back there i thought that was the casino planet from the last jedi and if you hadn't corrected yourself and said it was, well, I was honestly just going to walk off this podcast and be like, I'm done with the Mandalorian.

I don't care. Just send me the baby Yoda like scenes for the rest of the way. I am fucking hashtag done with that goddamn planet. Um, Pedro Pascal's face. I know he's under the suit. I understand that when I saw it, I was like,

Oh shit, it is over in Martell. Like I knew it was him, but it just never seemed like him until everything was off right like am i crazy no i'm with you it's like it's every time it's like oh yeah huh yeah that guy looks like you just like assume that like the helmet is his face yeah exactly and his voice doesn't sound like how i know him as over and so it's always kind of really fucked me up and like now that his face is in the registry i'm trying to figure out how that's gonna work and if that can come back to bite him you wouldn't

think so but it's just interesting that it's now out there right because it's like that face goes in and then there's probably like something in the data that says oh yeah after this face went in a minute later like a hundred fucking emperor empire guys died or maybe the whole thing got blown up so maybe they're safe oh if the empire doesn't have the cloud they're safe yeah and they're like if people in the empire have to know how to use the cloud the cloud is one of those things where i don't know what the fuck i'm doing and it makes me feel but i feel like none of you kids know what you're doing either on that i feel like there's neither no i don't know anything about it i feel like the people that like made the technology it just makes

it probably makes perfect sense in their crazy engineer minds. It just didn't, they didn't do a good job bringing it down for just the common folk. So thank God for that. They fucking dropped the TPS reports line. I mean, straight out of office space. That was incredible. And I understand, you know, I'm sure there's, again, it's Star Wars.

Half the fan base loves it. Half the fan base hates it, I imagine. I personally loved it. It was an innocent Wars. Half the fan base loves it. Half the fan base hates it, I imagine. I personally loved it. It was an innocent remark. It didn't steal from it. But just shout out to TPS Reports, Lumberg, that motherfucker. And Billy Goodheart. That's what I'm calling him, man.

Just the fact he fucking smoked that dude. I did not see that coming. I kind of like that the dude had an accent too. I don't know why. It just seems so out of place. Like, what the fuck is that accent on this guy? know i said oh shit out loud when he shot him i really didn't think he was just gonna lose his cool like that i was just like oh oh my god and i love the way they cut to the other stormtroopers like it took him a second to even like know what was going on

they cut to like almost the comedic like uh uh i don't know what i'm doing and then they all got shot and i love to talk about billy goodhart my favorite line of the entire episode when bill burr gives him the helmet back and he goes he did what you had to do i didn't see your face let's go and it was just oh shit he is a fucking good guy i know last season he was messing with our guy grogu and he was like oh i'm gonna drop him up i'm gonna drop him you know what you just won me over bill burr you won me over that's a that's a that's a stand-up move i feel like fabro knew and like anyone who casted bill burr they're like listen no matter what we do with this guy the fans are gonna love him so let's just give him a redemption story like if he fucking i'm not gonna say what i was gonna say if he had done something very very very bad

that we didn't want to see i would still be like ah it's bill burr though he's fucking i fucking love him like it's still real life. I mean, fuck, Bill Burr did a rough and rowdy with us. I mean, like as just a – forget about Bill Burr fan, the shit he did with Chappelle's show. And he's obviously been a barstool. Like he's been good to us. He could have done some pretty – he could have just fucking given

like fucking shot Mando heavy. Like he probably deserved it, that fucking asshole Mando. Like that's how I am with Bill Burr. So, yeah, the scene, the the whole like breakdown of it i thought was really cool and i mean it sounds like it was just a good old-fashioned war criminal so it's like killing that guy deserves to fucking goes to whatever hell they have in the galaxy far far away so as soon as he shot that guy everyone was after him in the base they kind of kick out a window they go out the side cora dune and fennec shander up top kind of sniping down the imperials from up top very cool sniper scene you don't get to see some of that star wars so i enjoyed that and as they

escape boba swoops in they jump onto his ship for a second they kind of telegraphed that mayfeld may not make it i thought but he made it it was all good and after they start to fly away he goes give me that cycler rifle he fucking shoots that thing blows it all up and Cara Dune now realizes oh he's not all we thought he was he probably is on our side in this whole thing now here was the moment where a lot of prequel stands and Star Wars fans lost our minds two TIE fighters emerge from the wreckage they're following the slave one and boba unleashes a seismic charge on their asses this is one of the most beloved scenes from the prequels i would say the whole slave one obi-wan chase in the asteroid field and just that sound that i i said to jeff the three seconds where he drops that seismic charge

and it makes that – before it makes the actual noise are like the three seconds where a three-pointer is in the air, a buzzer beater, where it's just like we're waiting for it to hit. And then the swish hits, and we lost our minds. I absolutely loved it. Now I feel like an asshole for having us get the bang, bang for last week. I feel like I kind of went there and just was hanging up up there and then he fucking banged it mike breen style um that i that was in my notes just awesome in all uppercase letters which i'm writing these on my phone at

this was 6 a.m was this week's i woke up realized the kids were still sleeping i looked it was like a half hour episode i was like all right i can bang this out pretty quick sienna jumped in bed she watched she watched with me and to put all awesome in all caps that means i was fired up because i even did like the double tap to get the cap locks just awesome when he drops the fucking size of the charge um i just love being a part of the slave one right now i kind of love getting yeah being part of this whole boba world we're seeing the inside we've never seen the inside like that that's cool it just feels cool just being a passenger on the slave one there was something i didn't think would happen i thought we'd get a i thought it would be more of the outside looking in a bulb i didn't realize we'd be you know

traveling alongside him and rooting for him so i absolutely that that was that was so fucking awesome and also the snipers that was cool i thought it was kind of weird how like they just happened to come i don't know if that was part of the plan i guess they knew where the terminal was so they could have the snipers there. It was like, what? They just are, are just chilling there and see them pop out. But I always love like a good sniper scene or whatever, like Barry Pepper in Private Ryan or like even playing sniper missions in like video games, like GoldenEye and Call of Duty and shit like that.

I wish I had like the patience to do that in Call of Duty multiplayer, but I'm always the dude who's just running in guns a-blazin' and trying to get points for the team. And then, obviously, Bill Bird fucking snipering too. So, I don't know, man. Snipering is some cool-ass shit. I love that stuff. Yeah, we finally got a payoff to the line from last season where they were like, he's an ex-Imperial sharpshooter,

and then Bill Bird's like, I wasn't a stormtrooper. All right, jackass. That was such a great line, too. They brought it back. That's so good. Our ending to this episode is fantastic payoff to both of our storylines here. The Cara Dune-Mayfeld storyline and then the Mando storyline.

They eventually say, man, it was a shame that Mayfeld died. He was great in that mission but he died in the records there and he's like wait a minute you telling me i could can i go are you because i'll leave if you're telling me i could leave may just let him go off so you know we'll see him next season i hope that every season just has like oh this is the bill burr episode because he really is a great character like all of the character development they did making him on our side in a big bad way i would love for him to come back in a big team up and then on the mando side he sends moff gideon this fucking liam neeson-esque message where he just repeats the exact thing moff gideon

said to him in the finale last season he says you have no idea what you are in possession of it means more to me than you will ever know i'm coming for it and fucking goes off and we see moff gideon's face there's a little bit of fear in those pussy ass eyes you know there's a little bit of fear in those eyes clem oh i know bob you are and i'm scared of you that's the way i'm looking at you right now i'm fucking scared of you you are fired up i haven't seen you like this is like damn near thanos 11 now he does have you know the child right now so i understand but this is how you were about thanos and granted i was admittedly on the genocidal maniac side at that point so um you're very much fired up about i love to see it i love that he

basically recited that you know verbatim the the speech gideon gate so badass i haven't oh so awesome i always say it's like using a wrestler's finishing move against them i always love when someone does that i always mark out on that shit i am such an asshole i would have been just like i'm like wait is does this mean i can go like i'm not i i don't take clues very well you know what i mean my wife probably dropped 10 clues on me before our first kiss you know what i mean so it's like i'm i'm a fucking i'm a hard-headed idiot and i love that he was just the same kind of guy, which is why we love him.

I mean, that's a Bill thing. So it was awesome. Shout out Bill Burr. Shout out Rick Femme UA for directing this episode. Fantastic job. That was the episode. No Grogu.

Like I said, we're not going to do questions this time. Cause we got a ton to talk about star Wars announcement wise, Marvel announcement wise. And I guess we can get into it. Let me ask you this before we even get into this stuff. Just one more question. Leading into the finale, do we trust Boba Suss?

Boba Suss. So this was the thing. This is my issue with Boba Suss or the idea of Boba Suss. See, the bounty went up on baby yoda but the guy who has the bounty for him has baby yoda so it's like does he try to steal him to then sell him back to him it it doesn't make sense but like he's fucking bald i know the only way the only way that would work is if someone else wants baby yoda and Boba wants to give him to someone else. Yes.

You know what I mean? Yes. Or Boba just wants to fucking, yeah, he just wants to have a fucking trophy that anyone will just pay for. And he's like, ah, I kind of want to have the whole, like, just a little bit of Best Girl. I want to have the whole fucking collection. It's almost too good to be true. That's what I feel. Boba's clean as shit.

We're fucking dropping fucking charges out of the slave one we're living fucking boba fantasy camp right now we're best friends with the guy this is exactly what boba wants you to believe boba suss i feel you're just setting us up to have our hearts broken um so let's see out of a scale of of one to ten how confident do i feel that boba's on our side i mean it's like a a seven at that i was gonna side? I mean, it's like a seven at best. I was going to say, I feel like I'm at like a seven. I'm right with you. I think we're neck and neck there.

And like pre A New Hope redemption at the end when he takes out the TIE fighter, it's like Han Solo. Like you can't trust these fucking guys. Anyone that's ever stepped foot in fucking the Mos Eisley Cantina, you can't trust them. And like Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan, right? guys anyone that's ever stepped foot in fucking the most isolated cantina you can't trust something like luke skywalker and obi-wan right everyone else fucking hive of villainy and scum or whatever it is so uh yeah it's like a it's a hard seven a soft seven whatever it is like it's a soft seven that's what it is it's a sus it's a sus seven good way to put it all right that was the last

mando recap before the finale next week when come here, we will have seen the entire season two. It's bittersweet. Oh, my God. Wow, that flew by. Again, shout out. It got us through this little period of quarantine. I will say this. It was a good episode.

I enjoyed it. You know, Bill Burr. This was kind of the episode I expected to, like the previous episode, where I thought it was going to be like, you know, not formula, but it's kind of like this was a Mando episode and nothing crazy happened. But like, you know, we got some stories. We had something with the character. More character stuff, yeah.

Yeah. Also, the name of it was The Believer. I noticed that too. Who were they talking about there? I don't know. Who was The Believer? Like Bill Burr wasn't The Believer, was he? Like I guess.

Maybe. I feel like Mando, like he's no longer believing in what he used to believe and so i feel like that's not even it um i don't know who the believer was i guess i i feel like bill burr makes the most sense just because it was like his episode but it doesn't really make like i don't know maybe a listener can point that out to us tweet us if you kind of understand what they were going for there maybe we missed something in the in a mon can point that out to us. Tweet us if you kind of understand what they were going for there. Maybe we missed something in a monologue on that ship or something. All right, let's get into these announcements, Clem.

This is really, really exciting. We're going to start off with the Star Wars ones. I have them all listed out, and I kind of wrote all we know about it. Tell me if you know it. Tell me if you don't know it. React to it, whatever. We'll get into the Marvel ones afterwards. The one I think we have to start off with on the Star Wars side

was the one that made me the most excited. It's a show that we knew about, but they announced a casting addition to the show. It's the Obi-Wan Kenobi show directed by Deborah Chow, who's done a couple episodes of The Mandalorian. She did a couple episodes in season one. And they announced that Hayden Christiansen will be back as darth vader this was shocking news sent shivers throughout the entire universe some more details about this

it will take place 10 years following revenge of the sith hayden christiansen has a quote he says it feels good to be back and kath and Kathleen Kennedy has called this the rematch of the century so we don't know if Obi-Wan and you know we never knew if Obi-Wan and Vader had ever crossed paths between three and four Vader just says I haven't you know sensed that since and that's where they leave it I always assumed they never saw each other between three and four. Seems that ain't the case. That's pretty cool. Again, when you rewatched A New Hope after seeing Sith, you're like, oh, shit, is this the first time he's seen him

since he basically left him for smoldering dead on Mustafar? This is one I did know about, but I only knew that Hayden Christensen was coming back because, I mean, that was everywhere. It was plastered. Of course, yeah. The next day I woke up with Darth Vader killing everyone on fucking in the Rogue One ending just because that and people are like I said listen guys I'm sorry I I blogged this back in March

when everything was hitting the fan just I figured we could use some like crazy fun in our lives and so I was like you could blog this every single week I'm gonna watch every time like yeah me too I fucking love it I go crazy for it um I didn't know it was 10 years i like that i like because i feel like it's the first few years like you see it at the end of sith where he's getting used to his body and it's like he's half machine now oh this will be prime darth vader like more prime than we've ever seen darth vader i would say more prime than technically rogue one even because that's basically a new hope darth vader right and at that point he's he's a little older so you know at this point luke and lair I would say more prime than technically rogue one, even cause that's basically a new hope Darth Vader. Right. And at that point he's, he's a little older. So, you know,

at this point Luke and a layer, obviously 10 years old. So just to give you an idea where he is. So I love it. I, so this is my question. I like it. I understand why, you know, people didn't, didn't like the prequels, all that stuff. And Hayden Christensen, however, I wanted to know what was the vibe from the star wars fan base when that was announced i would say a hundred percent positive welcoming with open arms maybe 99 to one percent but i saw more than ever even people tweeting i was an adult when the prequels

came out i went to see them i hated them i hated hayden christiansen at the time and i am so excited for this people are just ready to give him a shot at redemption i think time heals all wounds more than ever here yeah and this is one of those things i don't think i mean just because mando's been good it doesn't mean i don't think star wars is like by any means like marvel where it's like any move they make i feel like everything's gonna be fine like natalie portman right who's another prequel bomb was you know she's come back in thor you're like oh she's gonna be much better when she comes back in thor love and thunder um i wouldn't just say oh instantly he's gonna be good but like if you got if these guys have talent and it's just cool that

he's gonna be back to then instead of learning another darth vader um i'm a fan of it uh i actually and this guy uh at tom grand's he he hit me up after I blogged the Rogue One scene. And he made a good – this is the sports comparison of the week. He did it. He said – now that I thought. He said Hayden Christensen is Ryan Tannehill. He was with Gase in the prequels, basically. So when Ryan Tannehill was with the Dolphins, it was a fucking disaster, right?

And everyone's like, oh, fuck this guy. He sucks. He's a joke. Now he goes to Tennessee and a fucking new offense. Like, you're getting this new star. We're going to have a new thing. Everything's different now. You don't need it to be great. You just need them to like pick his spots. And when he picks a spot, he can be fucking awesome. And like, that's all you need. Like fucking,

you know, let, let Obi-Wan be Derrick Henry, who was just, you know, trucking fools. And if, you know, whoever's, you know, tied to the project, I don't know who's in charge of it, but that could be your Derrick Henry and your whole Tennessee Titans. And Peyton Christensen just kind of plays that role good enough. Throws a couple of first downs, scrambles a little bit, throw someone up to AJ Brown. We're fucking money here. So, uh, and again, Adam Gase is kind of George Lucas in this,

which is kind of a disrespectful slur, you know, slander towards like an all time great, but I mean, let's call the prequels what they were. So I thought that was perfect, man. I think it's going to be great. Don't fucking, the word sand could not be an any scope. I do not want to hear about sand one fucking time, but when we talked

was it Kevin Smith that said they wanted Darth Vader to almost be like Jaws? I think so, yeah. Like show him very little. he doesn't have a ton of screen time in a new hope like he has a couple minutes literally yeah and again with prime vader i just want to see him fuck shit up real quick i don't need to see scenes upon scenes now i'm sure they can make that work too but um i don't know man uh we we were saying as after

rogue one like holy shit can you imagine a darth Vader movie? And this is before Disney Plus became a thing. I mean, Prime Vader, that's, I mean, that's sold. Like, just call the show. Obi-Wan, that's gone. It's just called Prime Vader. I just want to see Prime Vader dunking on motherfuckers, Michael Jordan style, 1984 Jordan, you know, or that's, I guess, Rookie Jordan.

But yeah, give me fucking early 90s Michael Jordan just dunking on motherfuckers. So I would have to imagine James Earl Jones is going to come back and do Vader's voice, which makes me question, 90s michael jordan just dunking on motherfuckers so i would have to imagine james earl jones is going to come back and do vader's voice which makes me question you don't just get hayden christiansen for the body at that point just to come back and literally be a physical man in a suit did they cast him to play anakin and flashbacks and if that's the case could they be bringing back natalie portman as well and just well and just do an entire prequel reunion in flashback sequences of Padme, Obi-Wan, and Anakin? Will Obi-Wan be seeing them in nightmares?

Will he be seeing what could have been with him and Anakin if Anakin hadn't turned to the dark side? I don't know. I have a lot of questions as far as casting Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader because I don't think he'll do the voice, but I also don't think he'll just be the body. So will we see him without the helmet on at certain points? I'm not sure about that. Another rumor about this, which I find very interesting, is that Darth Vader will not be the only villain.

There will be a death squad of clone troopers led by Commander Cody searching for Obi-Wan. He was obviously the orange clone trooper, if you'reody searching for obi-wan he was obviously the orange clone trooper if you're not aware from revenge of the sith that initially received order 66 with obi-wan and started shooting at him uh and we actually saw this death squad in the trailer for the bad batch which was an animated show also announced uh this was i don't have a ton to talk about so we kind of just transitioned to this we saw fennec shand in the trailer we saw this death squad with commander cody they're kind of

black stormtroopers they remind me of the death troopers from rogue one a little bit and this is apparently going to be the bad batch that we saw in the last season of the clone wars making their way through the galaxy in a post revenge of the sith world i wasn't super stoked about the the bad batch getting their own show i thought they were in the clone wars i was ready to be done with them by the time their arc was over but the trailer looked really cool the animation looked really cool it's dave filoni so i'll definitely give it a shot so commander cody makes me laugh every fucking time for like such an important like part of this entire thing like Cody is just like a surfer bro's name and it's

because growing up I watched um was a step by step where the dude like the the wacky cousin is Cody and he's just in his he like lives in his van or something like that's what I associate you know Cody is basically like the 90s Brad and Chad of names right so that really kind of fucks me up the Bad Batch I I don't know anything about this. This is completely like outside looking in. I'll have to look at the trailer. I know like as I'm looking at the cartoon and stuff, like I definitely know of these people. But I mean, at this point, I'll follow you guys.

I also realized that there's probably going to be shows. I think we're all in this Mando together, right? And I wonder if they're going to, did they announce if they're doing everything like Mando where it comes out on one day? Are they doing like full releases for some of these? Has that been announced or is it too early for that still? Too early for that. I would assume they're going to keep the Mando structure though. I feel like it's so successful with what they're going with so far that how could you change it? I'd love it too. It just makes you feel like it makes it much more important in television.

And it feels like you're, you're in this this together with people even if you don't want to tweet spoilers and stuff like that i will say going back to the the other thing about uh hayden christensen i would like to see like the human side of darth vader when you know he's i mean at this point he's probably fucking pure unadulterated rage and evil but you just see that glimpses the and even if they're even you don't have to show the good in him that padme talks about that luke talks about like i do want to see the human side of it and just like i mean the emperor is probably going to be such a dickhead boss too he's like oh fuck this guy like again and he has like have to put his mask back on put his you know this kind of shit he has to learn how to masturbate with two robot hands it probably doesn't feel very good all these kind of things like that's the real human side of being fucking

uh darth vader in this world so um i'm interested to see i i i would rather see that than see like flashbacks flashbacks would feel cheap unless like i guess i guess by doing flashbacks you're like rebooting the podcast without rebooting the podcast you're like oh no guys it's a lot better now don't worry like we don't have george lucas going fucking haywire and worrying about trade wars and stuff like that i would kind of like to see them in their clone wars like that kind of like half armor half rope they wore in the cartoons i would love to see that and even if they could just acknowledge ahsoka doesn't have to be in a flashback sequence doesn't have to be just if you say her name, if you have Anakin or Obi-Wan say her name at any point, that's what

I need. Ewan McGregor or Hayden Christensen just acknowledging her existence in live action, I think would be so awesome. The Bad Batch is a cool name. I will say that. I'm interested. Every time I read it, I think the bad bitch. Yeah, the bad bitch. That's what I'm thinking too. Even like the logo here I see. I will say

right now this is currently leaving the clubhouse of shows i'm probably going to miss out watching unless like again if there's two ways to get me to watch show either everyone says it's fucking awesome or there's enough memes of it going around where i feel like i have to understand what the memes are that's what got me into stranger things all the different ways people would write the different words for the the title screen coming together so uh i could be down for bad batch if either of those things are true all right up next i'm going to tell you about two shows together because both of these shows are produced executive produced by dave

filoni and john favreau both of these shows are going to be threading in and out of the mandalorian and according to the disney, will intersect with future stories and culminate into a climatic story event one day. This is Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic. Ahsoka will be written by Dave Filoni entirely, executive produced by Filoni and Favreau. Rangers of the New Republic will just be executive produced by them. We don't know who the writers or directors attached are.

We assume that that one will be sort of the X-Wing pilots that we saw this season. Maybe they were starting to introduce them there. I think this is a pretty unexpected show. I don't think anyone expected them to get their own show. But if you want to establish how that formed and sort of give us more into how the galaxy got the way it was during the sequels, fill in the gaps.

I'm okay with that. I also like the idea of them building something up there and then one day bringing them back into the Mandalorian for this big event. Like they said, the climactic story event, whatever that may mean. Ahsoka, I think we all assumed was coming,

but it's just nice to get that official. Yeah. And as Rosario Dawson been linked to that to get that official yeah and has rosario dawson been linked to that is that official yeah it'll be okay and that's feloni's baby right ahsoka which is like baby so i mean again kind of the opposite of the bad batch it's like i'm gonna have to watch it just based on what all you guys have told me about ahsoka i enjoyed her when i saw her um and if feloni and favro are linked to it um i'm in now you said feloniavreau are linked to it, I'm in. Now you said Filoni and Favreau are linked to this New Republic one as well? Yeah, both of these shows are kind of their shows.

Those are the ones that are turning out their own Mandalorian universe within. Okay, so this is going to be the, I think, what I imagine a lot of people thought the day of the announcements. I do get worried about oversaturation with just, again, it was like when, it was like, we had all those stories when we was come out, you know, we had some flops, the sequels divided the fan base. Solo was a bomb and they were like, all right, hard stop. We have to kind of start back Mandalorian. We're like, all right,

we get restarted. It's like, all right, 10,000 new things. And I think I imagine, is that what everyone was like, you know, or at least some people were like, some people were, but what is kind of reassuring some people is that they didn't even announce dates for a lot of this which makes us think that like some of it might be for 2025 2027 like some of this stuff is going to be so far out in advance that i think we're still only going to get like as much mando as we get this year i don't know how much more we'll get like per year it might just be like one show per year like it's still yet to be discovered though we still don't know yeah okay i as long as like these guys can not only like focus on these things and and make them the right

way which i have no doubt they will do and i mean i would imagine if you're john fabbro you're you're like you're just like all right they're probably not going to do any probably this is their dream right you know what i mean like if if you were like the hottest filmmaker a hot filmmaker in hollywood i'd be like hey hey bob you want to do this one today it's like listen next three years we're just doing star wars this is my fucking life look at my fucking look at my tattoos like this is my world right here i imagine they're in the same boat i just don't want anything coming off of mandalorian i don't want you know this is like the game of thrones thing where you know after that whole thing went down it's like you guys weren't you know this is like the game of thrones thing where you know after that

whole thing went down it's like you guys weren't focusing on kind of like the bread and butter here that everyone fell in love with but um you know these guys are so fucking talented i i i think we'll be just fine but that's the first thing that popped up um the new republic thing them being there makes me feel like it's in good hands as someone that didn't enjoy the sequels though like i'm kind of like all right make this this era of star wars interesting and fun to me because i honestly don't really give a fuck about all that kind of stuff just because i didn't enjoy the last two movies but i mean i'm gonna go with an open mind i mean i think that's all you can ask for and they've those two guys have done enough bringing us back in with mando to kind of like make give them a chance like everyone

has to give a chance another show that we knew about already but they just gave us a little bit more on it was andor the cassian andor prequel this will be uh created and directed by tony gilroy who did the born ultimatum all Bourne trilogy movies. And it's being described as a tense, nail-biting spy thriller. We got a trailer for this. It was sort of a half trailer, half interviews with Diego Luna talking about how excited he is to be back. And we are told it will be coming 2022. This will be spy espionage for the first time in the Star Wars universe.

Something that really excites me, because I just feel like this could be, I've always said, treat Star Wars like it's even bigger than a genre where you could put multiple genres within it. You could do an action show. You could do a spy espionage show. You could do a thriller. You could do whatever. I love that they're expanding it in that way. So I'm excited for Andor, but to to be honest we still don't know that much about it it's not like a ton of new stuff got unveiled yeah um i don't really remember much

about this i'm just looking at the the release now if you said it yeah this is probably like if we're if we're power ranking this is probably bottom half right now in terms of stuff i haven't looked at that i can see the trailer here but like i i think but you kind of have to do that though like if you're gonna announce 10 fucking but you kind of have to do that though. Like if you're going to announce 10 fucking things, you have to have some set in, you know, this period, that period, and then going back as well. So. I don't think there's any set in the prequels.

Like you could say that this is sort of, I guess, prequel because it is, you know, a little bit, but like they haven't announced anything. That's just straight up like, Hey, we're doing a prequel show. This is going to play for fans of the prequels, Clone Wars, I guess the Bad Batch made announced anything that's just straight up like hey we're doing a prequel show this is gonna play for fans of the prequels Clone Wars I guess the Bad Batch made but that's animated you know I will say the cool thing about anything that's prequely Rogue One time period or anything just before the original seek the original trilogy is that you can just kind of do whatever the fuck you want and everyone can just die at the end of it and it's like all right well that you know this X got us to Y and that's all that matters in the long run just kind of do whatever the fuck you want and everyone can just die at the end of it. And it's like, all right, well that, you know, this X got us to Y and that's all that matters in the long run.

I kind of like that. They can be a little like free and loose with it where it's not like everything has to have this huge, crazy impact on the future. We don't have three Skywalkers walking around and, and all that kind of stuff. These guys can all handle their little important parts of the story. Let's just not go crazy here. Let's not, all right, we know how the Death Star exhaust port got there.

Let's not fucking paint out every single thing. The whole point of this prequel is how Greedo would never shoot first or something. Let's have some fun with it, but let's not get too crazy here. So the next one, this kind of just one of these announcements that's like oh interesting but i'm not super crazy about it's called visions star wars visions and this is going to be 10 short films from japan where for the first time star wars anime is being made let's get fucking weird with it man i i listen i i've never gotten into anime it's just one of those things yeah and did, what did Dave call it? Anime. All time crazy Barstool video.

If you want to see what Barstool used to be like for anyone that's, you know, relatively new in the last, I don't know, five years or so, just look at Dave and Feidelberg anime convention, where the fuck it was Dave. Feidelberg's just a banana. That was the banana peel one where he was just a banana peel, right? And fighting people in pillow fights. I mean, just saying all that stuff makes no fucking sense i'd love to be able to like just get into an anime conversation or someone it's like oh you're an anime guy yeah me too ever hear of vision star

wars and then they'd be talking is is like head tie tentacle porno is that anime too because i know that that's something i don't know what it is i hope we're not just uh like rubbing people the wrong way when we say that they're like anime is sacred yeah exactly it's like i i'm honestly clueless in it i just love to like be like oh yeah i'm kind of an anime guy myself like just throwing that on like my street my nerd street cred you know what i mean it's like a little bit of a uh some points some nerd points i can get here by saying i watch it so i check it out um i people are so passionate about anime it's one of those things it's like i want to get into a little bit just to kind of like because it seems fucking awesome people like it's millions of millions of people love this shit because it's fucking entertaining so um i mean i'm kind of excited

to this i'm kind of see kind of excited to see what's going to come out of it i'm i put this in like the it's like my my like little mystery project here i'm gonna put this in the middle of my list in terms of excitement it made me feel better about the oversaturation part where it's like oh this is one of the shows just 10 short like anime films that's what we're talking about here okay that makes me feel yes this makes me feel a lot better and they're all independent are they all independent of each other that That's awesome. So yeah, 100%. And another thing, this is like, speaking of which, I always want to get into Kung Fu. But I'd watch like two minutes of it. I'm like, eh, it doesn't really like grab me.

But like if I just sat down, put my phone away, and just watched an episode of Kung Fu, I would imagine I'd love it. And I just want to see the thing when the guy's going, is anime the one with the guy going, ah! And then it like breaks to just the guy yelling. That's an anime thing, right? Like I, I want to see that shit with a fucking lightsaber or some kind of crazy Star Wars shit. You know, I'm excited for Visions. I am moving Visions up to number four right now.

I don't even have my list created, but it's at the four spot. All right. This one was very, very surprising for me. I mean, I tweeted it right before they announced it, but it was such a long shot i really didn't expect it to be announced lando from the creator of dear white people justin simian we are getting a lando calrissian mini event we don't know much about it we don't

even know if it's going to be a uh event that has multiple seasons it may just be a mini series but it's fucking happening clem we're getting a lando show holy shit how did i miss i avoided a lando fucking announcement the last few days i had no idea so nobody's been announced to be attached to it either so we don't necessarily know if this is going to somehow continue the rise of skywalker story when billy d williams lando was like hey let's see you know we got more story to uncover here. Or if what we're all hoping for, I think would be the Donald Glover Lando. What I think would be the best of both worlds is have, and this isn't my original idea. I think I heard someone else bring this up in the past, have every episode begin with Billy Dee Williams

opening up his old star log that he was recording during solo and be like, huh, I remember this mission. And he clicks on it. And then we flash back to Donald Glover. And then at the end of the episode, we could come back to Billy Dee Williams. Like, huh, what a great time that was. And he fucking puts it away or something. I feel like, like, give us both.

Why not get weird with it? Like you said, I, I'm never going to say no to any Billy Dee Williams. Like Billy, you know how you just sit in the house. I was talking about the Christmas glow. You turn the lights off. You turn the Christmas lights on. He just sit in the glow. It just makes you feel good inside.

That's just Billy Dee on the screen is going to make me feel. However, at the same point, I do not want the advancement of that fucking rise of Skywalker. That was fucking creepy. Like that. Even you have to admit that was fucking a weird way to end that i don't know why they put that in the movie yeah he wanted to fuck his daughter is what

it seemed like let's call it what it was and that was very creepy um the donald glover i'd be down for that if they had to go with someone else if donald glover didn't want to do or they want to go in a different direction i like donald glover um again donald like learning about who childish gambino and donald glover were the same person, it made me feel like I kind of knew it was going on in pop culture a little bit. So I kind of like, oh yeah, I haven't seen Atlanta yet, but I've seen Donald Glover in a few projects

and it's all Star Wars stuff. But I would be fine if they even went another direction and went away. But shit, man, I'm excited for Lando. Rob, if you were a good friend, you would have said, I thought you were going to say, what I'm hoping for is we get to learn how he met lobot because that's what i've been asking for for like fucking five years now yeah we got to figure out who i mean lobot's got to be in the show if you're making a lando show you gotta give us lobot and maybe the origin of non-nub yes yes

we could do that that definitely works um and. And again, the show you came up with where he's going back, he's like, let me tell you about the time I met Lobot. And Lobot is like, you know, he's just like throwing girls off of him. He's so fucking like, they just love the Lobot. They can't get enough of the Lobot. And he's like, Lando knows Lobot. Cause like Lando was like, shit, there's one guy in this entire galaxy that's getting more chicks than me, and it's fucking Lobot. Who would have thought?

Like, that's – oh, ride or die. All right. I was hoping we'd get a Lobot show announced. I hope that was going to be the surprise. This is the next best thing. Lobot appearing in Lando as – and Billy D has to be drinking a Colt 45 when he's doing it, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've got to have that old Colt 45 ad. I just think that side of the galaxy, the Lando Calrissian sort just think that side of the galaxy the lando calrissian sort of sleazy side of the galaxy is going to be so much fun to explore like i love one of my favorite parts of solo is the actual sabacc game the like environment the crowd around the table that whole thing i thought that was great even at the end when they go play sabacc and han wins the falcon off of him in that tropical forest. Great stuff. So I'm excited for that.

Up next, we've got The Acolyte. This is a show developed by Leslie Hedlund of Russian Doll. She made that show for Netflix. And it's live action. It is a mystery thriller that will take place at the end of the High Republic era, exploring the dark side powers emerging in its final days. So this will be seemingly our first sith show we're going to see just straight up sith stuff and the high republic era is the new era of star wars that's just being introduced it's like 400 years prior to the prequels so the the jedi were at their peak back then but this this is like just when the Sith is starting to come back, I believe.

And we'll be exploring that with the Acolyte. The Acolyte. Okay, that's the name. You know what? I'm very intrigued by this one. Because, I mean, I think a lot of shows, like the anti-hero or whatever you want to call it, like that shit just plays. It played with Breaking Bad, with Walter White. It played with Tony Soprano.

It played with fucking Stone Cold Steve Austin, right? Like, and granted, like, a Sith isn't exactly like, you know, Tony Soprano or Stone Cold. He's a little more evil than that. But I'm always down to, like, getting that side of things. And listen, we've talked about this in the pod. The Jedi, like, their ways are so extreme the other way that, like, you could,

I want to kind of see the sys side of things because i do think there's someone to be said for that again this is a guy that was sympathizing with the guy that destroyed half the life in the universe in marvel so um i don't know i'm i'm kind of stoked i feel like we've just left so much on the table with the sith and i always love fucking shit up in the video games when you're a sith that like i kind of want to see like them do some crazy shit and we go to like you know oh the jedi planets are so beautiful they're lush and green and shit's fine i want to see fucking rock and fire and just like evil and pain and like snakes fucking slithering around i want to see crazy ass this shit uh i'm excited for that

just please i do not want anything that makes me think of the emperor's weird little throne like the this is in rise of skywalker that shit was so i didn't like the exegol i like that planet i thought that was sick i didn't like like the the the fucking crowd who like they're all like screaming from the the i want like worshippers the worshippers yeah and like the the lightning with all the the star destroyers that came out of the ground. I didn't dig that. I want to see – I'm excited for the accolade. And who's attached to this one?

So this was – we have no actors, I don't believe, but Leslie Hedlund, who is the creator of Netflix's Russian Doll. I know people love that show. I haven't seen it. Okay. I haven't seen it either yet. That's one thing I'm actually – my New Year's resolution, I think, two years ago was to get better at Netflix because everyone always talks about Netflix, and I'd be like, I don't seen it either yet. That's one thing I'm actually, my, my New Year's resolution, I think two years ago was to get better at Netflix. Cause I always talked about Netflix

and I'd be like, uh, I don't know them, but it's cause I never had a smart TV. I would always, I had Chromecast. You'd like beam it from your phone. Now that I have a smart TV and I use everything through the new Chromecast, Google TV, Netflix is right there on my, so I go there. I'm, I cut the cord. So everything is through there now. So I'm going to get better at Netflix. Fuck. I might just watch Russian Doll, just to fuck around and get ready for the acolyte then. Yeah, it's got one of the girls from Orange is the New Black, like a really good actress.

So like, it was actually a show that I was interested in. I just never got around to it. This next one, I think you are going to be stoked about. I hope you don't know that this one exists yet. It is an animated movie coming to Disney Plus, where, and I don't even know what this means, the way they're describing it. They're saying that Lucasfilm Animation is teaming up with Lucasfilm's visual effects team to show us what happens when you cross the two,

called A Droid Story, where R2 and C-3PO will lead a new hero through the galaxy. Yes! Yes! They listened to us, Bob! Bobby Iger, you were listening to me and robbie thank you thank you thank you oh now this is what we said we literally said it's one movie so far it's called the droid story but we said last season on on my mom's basement we were saying just give us r2 and c3po on an animated show we would watch those two do anything yeah i would have been fine if it was a show some shorts i'll fucking you know what they

do they get the movie movie fucking does gangbusters just who the fuck doesn't love r2d2 and c3po it's unbelievable and then they're gonna be like all right well we gotta start pumping out the shorts that's what they do at disney plus i know that's again as i have this connect the smart tv now i just go on disney plus there's so many like five minute little episodes for all these like little tchotchkes basically right i just throw it on for the kids and they watch and then i watch everyone's having fun by the way little podfather tip to anyone out there who needs one for their kids that guys like me and robbie your your nephew needs to love it too bluey great show unbelievable show it works for kids it works for adults it works for everyone involved it's a disney plus show that um it's just

like a fun little dog family it's it's so much fun but this this makes me so goddamn happy i i have r2d2 um like dolls and stuff upstairs from when sienna was a baby and aj is getting into them now we have a bb8 as well and um i'm just like man these guys just fucking hit with with r2d2 like they really did c3po i've noticed that sienna and our sienna is rc3po she's the smart one she's always and then aj is just a little rambunctious like basically it was r2d2 like damn it's not too fun when r2d2 is an actual human form that is always like pissing on you and shitting on you not literally literally i guess when he was a little younger um man i am so excited for this let me just say this too let me get my soapbox i have to say this bob and i i don't want to bring us down here but i came to the realization i think

can we admit can we at least agree on this bb8 was what bb8 ended up becoming was a little bit of a disappointment i thought he was going to be the next r2 and i just feel like he i thought like not i'm not talking like what he did in the movies i just feel like i feel like no one really talks about bb8 you know what i mean he's kind of like forgotten compared to where r2 were and c3po were like you know people love those guys yeah i don't know i feel like i see bb8 merch more than i see anything from the sequels but i feel like i don't feel like people are buying i feel like it's just like oh we have to make the bb like i don't know i just i never thought i just didn't think he resonated as much I thought he was going to resonate.

And I like the Force Awakens, like, oh, this guy is going to be fucking huge. And I just feel like those last two movies, he kind of went to the background a little bit. But anyway, I'm sorry. That was a tangent. I thought about that the last few weeks and I had to bring it up

because we were talking droids. I love this. So they're bringing another hero. We don't know the time period. Could be before, during, after. I mean. Could be any time period really prequels originals after the sequels r2 and c3bo could be around forever they should be

really they should be right there there's there should not be like a year it's like all right like what are we doing for this year it's like all right now where is our r2 and c3bo content like there's one of those has to be out every year without fail. Fucking, I love it. I'm thrilled. That was another great surprise. Wow, I can't believe I missed that one. All right, so movies. We got Taika Waititi's officially announced, which we knew about already.

So that wasn't really an announcement for like diehard Star Wars fans. They called it fresh, unexpected, and unique, which again, isn't really, shouldn't surprise you being it's Taika Waititi. And now this one was really surprising this didn't get out anywhere at least as far as i could tell lucasfilm has got patty jenkins of wonder woman one of the best directors in the game right now to do rogue squadron a fighter pilot movie we

believe this will be during a sequel trilogy um at some point they said it's a new era so it may be right after the sequel trilogy as well and in the announcement video patty jenkins says that she is the daughter of a fighter pilot her father was a fighter pilot and it's been her lifelong dream to make a fighter pilot movie she said she's been searching and searching and searching for the right story to come along and she's finally got it 2023 rogue squadron will hit theaters. This will be the next Star Wars movie in theaters. I could get down with that. I'm thinking of like war movies where you have like the fighter pilot.

Who was it? Dunkirk. Like you had like the little fighter pilot side of Dunkirk, which I thought was very cool. I'm thinking Top Gun from the video they put out. Okay. I got high Top Gun vibes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. See, this is the thing is I the video they put out. Oh, okay. I got high Top Gun vibes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Okay, yeah. See, the thing is I have to check these out. I could have a completely different thing on that. There's no footage or anything. It's just Patty Jenkins on an aircraft hangar, but she's wearing the Maverick jumpsuit and shit. So I'm getting those vibes. Again, whenever it comes to sequel era stuff,

I get very concerned. But it's like there's really no reason to it's just a different part of the star wars stuff um and i can't imagine many if any of the characters will be in it uh yeah i again like a good director like fucking let's rock and roll the more talented that's actually this is first female director in star wars history as well really first? First one? I thought they – so where are we at with all the other shit that was announced like years ago? Like Game of Thrones, those guys are gone from the Star Wars, right? They don't have their Star Wars trilogy?

Those guys are gone. I mean, Rian Johnson still is supposed to have a Star Wars trilogy at some point. It's still just in the air. It's a Strodinger's trilogy. It's happening, and it's not happening at the same time until we figure out something on it so that was nothing announced with that nothing's announced with that i have to guess so much shit has been reworked like i think the james mangold boba fett movie was reworked into the mandalorian because the rumors about that were like boba fett hunts down someone that has taken his armor and is using it as a marshal and it's like oh so i think maybe

the ryan johnson trilogy just gets reworked into a disney plus show because it seems that's the direction everyone's going i also feel like like that might work better for ryan johnson he did breaking bad episodes so he's used to tv and you can let him get weirder on tv people will be less reactionary to jump down his throat if he wants to try some fucking wonky shit give him a sith show that takes place you know 700 years before everything and say go nuts it's like putting milton in the basement of uh office space it's like just do whatever you want man yeah i mean like this that's like the worst thing about all this like when the last jedi happened it's like Brian Johnson, like Ozymandias,

like crushed a part of my soul. I didn't know it was possible to be crushed by a fucking fictional television show. Right? Like knives out. I is one of my favorite movies of recent years. And I liked the loop. I didn't love it,

but like, I liked it. And like, it just sucks that when I hear Ryan Johnson, I like boil in rage and I'm like, it's motherfucker. So yeah, give them something on., and I'm like, this motherfucker. So, yeah, give him something.

I think it would work with Disney+. Let me just say this. Rian Johnson does not get to handle any – doesn't get to handle Baby Yoda. Nope. Nope. Hard no. Hard no. Doesn't get to handle any – he doesn't even get R2-D2. That's my guy.

R2's my guy. He doesn't touch Lobot. He can touch everyone. No Lando. No Lando either. And, I mean, he can't really touch any of the OG uh no lando no lando either and i mean he can't really touch any of the ogs like han i mean is he the actors what about broom boy from the end of that movie there we go fucking go to town and you know what like brian i'm gonna give you a chance

to make broom boy something i'm 100 in on broom boy if you want to make him like cool bad whatever i'm 100 interested in broom boy if that's your thing he'd just be like me the mark for luke skywalker he's just always telling his friend stories about luke he's like fucking luke skywalker comes in saves the day he's gonna get a lightsaber tattoo on his arm i mean listen i'll audition for the role ryan bob's name is in the is in the resume i mean that's that's kind of where this all ends up bob right your career here at barstool, it's not really, you know, to go on to this, to go on to that, build the company. It's just to get in a fucking Star Wars. How to get to that galaxy far, far away. Got it. The protocol droid.

I don't even want my face in it. I'm not asking for that recognition. I just want to be in that protocol droid suit. All right. Are you ready to get into Marvel news? That was all the Star Wars news we got. All right. So, all right. So let me ask you this. Most excited out of all those. What is like, all right, this is, you know, clear the calendar. For me, it's far and away Obi-Wan Kenobi with Hayden in it.

As a kid of the prequels, that's going to hit every nostalgia bone there is for me. I hope they bring back Natalie Portman to give us that trinity. I hope they give us an acknowledgement of Ahsoka. I hope they give us a lightsaber battle that it's like, you know, the one that we've always wanted out of Darth Vader. I think we'll finally get here. Yeah, I mean, Prime Vader is such the

main inventor of all this. I mean, think about Rogue One. Think about the massacre in Rogue One. Now think, Obi-Wan Kenobi's on the other side of that. Not a bunch of helpless rebels and they're gonna be fucking matched up like evenly matched i mean it's gonna be fucking awesome they're gonna redo like the mustafar battle in a different setting and they're gonna make us all come our pants biggest rematch since the game bowl basically which was like the one good part of that entire fucking season was how that go back and listen

yeah you haven't yet we got the mountain on the pod. Hell yeah. I think I'm the same way. I think it has to be. And it's, it's so fucked up that it's the Obi-Wan series that I'm like calling it prime Vader. Like I'm just,

you know, brushing aside the, you know, biggest Jedi in the galaxy at that point, who actually shares a fucking name with my Knicks. Number one draft pick who I basically have to just become an Obi-Wan stance. That shirt is awesome. By the way way we got obi-wan shirts for sale so if you're a next fan and a star wars fan go to store.barstool sports.com right now that shirt in the galaxy that shirt in

the galaxy um i do love that shirt it came out so much better than i was expecting i like put it out there and i was like oh shit you guys are that's like why you guys got design degrees and shit like that you guys are really good at what you do. I'm trying to think of, so other than Obi-Wan, I don't, I guess it's the droids, the droids. Lando, you seem pretty excited about Lando. Yeah, I really need the Lobot origin story and some sort of visit to Bespin

because I just love everything about Bespin. But yeah, it's probably Lando and then the droids. And then again, getting into some... I fuck Acolytes with the Sith. I'm excited for that. And I'm excited to be an anime guy. I'm going to be an anime. And this is the thing.

I feel like anime is one of those things. You get looped in. It's like Star Wars is going to be my gateway anime. And then I'm'm gonna be fucking i already have like the this i'll say the stereotypical body of what an anime fan people think of i might just be never coming out of the basement literally bob i'm gonna be living in my basement watching anime kids are gonna not even know what their dad looks like because i'm just fucking anime till my eyes bleed and again i'm sorry anime fans if i'm feeling i'm picking on

you but i feel like anime is one of the things you could just become a diehard for yeah we're gonna give it a shot guys trust me we're at the week that comes out you'll see my mom's basement art with me and clem with giant anime eyes and manga you know all that we'll get into it we'll give it a real shot this marathon podcast if all that comes out of is me and you in anime form it'll be a hundred percent worth it and it is one of those things i feel like you get all the time it's like really pop you're not an anime guy you get that a lot on twitter right yeah people are like you never watched dragon ball z you never watched naruto what no neither i've never seen an episode never seen a second of them all right let's get into marvel news we haven't talked marvel in a hot minute clem since we're like hey black widow

is coming out next week can't wait you know um one of my favorite things to do is you go back to the barstool park podcast around february i was listening to old twisted histories and it's like oh yeah you know like there's this coronavirus thing but i mean don't worry about that you know everything's gonna be fine and then it's just like oh fuck oh fuck you just hear us getting beaten down i can only next week it's like all right joining us via zoom today uh so to kick us off on the marvel side i'll ease us into it we just got a new trailer for It's like, all right, joining us via Zoom today. So to kick us off on the Marvel side, I'll ease us into it. We just got a new trailer for WandaVision and a full trailer for the Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

WandaVision with a release date coming January 15th, which we knew already. And the Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be coming in March, which I think was a little sooner than we anticipated after the reshoots kicked in, which I think is great for the basement because right after Mando's over next week, you know, we're going to have a sad goodbye to the Mando recaps. We'll do an award show the next week where we're going to award MVP and Eva send us in. Like, if you guys think of funny awards, we could give for the Mandalorian season. We're going to try to get a panel on maybe Jeff D'Lo, Ken Jack,

Joey Molinaro in January, we'll be able to do wandavision recaps soon as that's over in march we'll be able to do falcon and winter soldier recaps kind of sick we're living in the fucking basement right now and i i absolutely love it i so did they do the reshoots for uh winter soldier during corona was that like they kind of had to bring them back in i remember hearing something about that i can't remember exactly how the timeline matched up um i didn't yeah i didn't see that coming at all i didn't see march i i imagine disney was like shit that i this whole thing i i made the meme of it where it's like it was the uh water leaking out and it was profits from coronavirus and then it's just slap fucking 20 marvel and star wars pieces of content to fucking

clog it all up um i i think they had to kind of get it going because you're you don't want to lose us once um you go mando go to winda vision and you go to you know falcon and winter soldier once people's subscriptions were up in march they were probably they could easily bail right you got to keep that shit going and then they forget about it in a year um i so i haven't seen the trailer yet i i'm honestly i'm not i'm not stoked for falcon and winter soldier they're just not my they they didn't do anything for me i know you're a cap guy you're not gonna get into a cap fight right now i like the trailer they mentioned in the trailer uh falcon has a line where he looks at sebastian stan and he's like you don't understand the weight that this shield carries and it's like oh shit it's like he's trying to live up the whole show is going to be him trying

to live up to the moniker of captain america where captain america's gone and they're against baron zemo who is i love civil war so I'm excited that he's coming back. Visually, it looks really, really cool. Yeah, but not as interesting as WandaVision though. WandaVision looks so out there that I feel like that's capturing everyone's attention right now. WandaVision really interests me because Scarlet Witch,

I feel like there's so much about her I don't really know and how powerful she really is. And I mean, I think, I don't know if this isn't, it's definitely not a spoiler. It's a theory, I guess, is like this is all just in her brain, i would make kind of sense the way it looks um i feel like this is one one of it just be one for the reddit boards where people are just trying to figure out what the fuck's going on and and uh like true detective season one and the thing that

everyone's guessing might end up being better than the actual show um but yeah i i'm excited i think we're gonna get really weird in the basement it might be like five minute episodes where we're just like i don't know what the fuck that was it was cool and and blah blah blah um by the way we learned there was a big breaking news story that i covered a few months ago that vision's dick is purple and it changes density. So I don't know how that's going to affect Wanda vision, but I feel like he was tired of people asking him, like, does vision have a penis? I always just pictured it was a little USB that he could plug in. I always thought it was the Ken doll. It was the Barbie doll,

just straight patch of plastic, nothing there. Um, but I, we always said, like, that was, you know, they killed Scarlet Witch's dildo. That's why when she said, you took everything from me, you took everything from her. I mean, Tony Stark made him, you know he had a sense of humor about that. He threw a USB port in there. He threw a USB port in there. Definitely threw a USB port in there.

So Marvel's making sure that after this this people aren't canceling their disney plus subscriptions because then in may we're getting loki already in may oh wow there's a full trailer for loki have you seen the trailer for loki i have not seen the trailer for loki i didn't know we got a fucking a release date and a fresh like this is a legit trailer we're talking now like this is a legit trailer i would suggest you watch it i'll pause the podcast i'll do a little buffer and we'll come back and we'll get clem's instant reaction to the trailer oh jesus he is such a motherfucker he's gonna be such a motherfucker that trailer really really gave me such heavy just mcu vibes

where i watched that i felt like the trailer for a marvel cinematic universe movie i was like oh man this is gonna be fucking awesome when they start to weave in the television shows and the movies together oh and it's the thing too like i don't know any of the you know um like there's other marvel shows is there like is is like um shield and those kind of shows are they all technically part of the mcu and they could get touched by all this because i don't know any of that stuff i i technically i think agents of shield was but they never really acknowledged any of that shit these they're heavily heavily implying that they're going to be acknowledged and we'll get into even later

like miss marvel has a show that has been announced i don't know much about that character she's a very recent character to the comic history and they already announced the girl that plays miss marvel will be in captain marvel too so it's like these are such massive they're gonna have massive massive implications on the marvel cinematic universe almost the next phase of it will be more focused on tv than movies it seems and that you said it too that trailer after like you don't realize it like you said we were like all right black widow next week and then gone. And God knows when it will actually come out. That was like a breath of fucking like fresh oxygen.

Like, oh, we finally got another Marvel thing. And it's just like we ended on such a high note with Endgame. I mean, I know there was like Spider-Man and whatever. And there was like, you know, a little dribbling out of all the other stuff but and then it just disappeared and thank god endgame came out when it did and we didn't have to watch it streaming or we were still waiting i'm ready to wait like another year for endgame oh my god but it's just like oh that just felt so fucking good and even just the way they changed the way the word loki around and he's talking about brother and heidel's dome and all this shit and he's gonna and they fuck you see the uh frost what's it called the the bit froster or the

by frost by frost by frost um that just just fucking made me feel alive again for the first there's there's only certain things that kind of give you like a a little boost after you're just living in this weird corona world i told you i had to watch the trailer you got an endorphin rush for like the end of the podcast get you through the end of this thing i i really did and like out of everyone to get the test the last person on the in the universe you'd want is that fucking shady son of a bitch so i just love how that's all gonna do and i don't know how that would impact potential multiverse shit because that's i think gonna be kind of the direction they go in a lot of these movies.

That dude's going to fuck a lot of things off. Yeah, he is. I think even the multiverse brings in the possibility of like bring in Robert Downey Jr. For a cam, like a two second cameo of like he pops into a universe and he's like, Oh,

wrong one. Sorry. And he like goes back, you know, you could do anything with stuff like that. Up next. We've got the announcement of Hawkeye made official. Haley Steinfeld will play Kate Bishop,

and this will come out in late fall 2021. They're filming it as we speak currently on the internet. If you subscribe to the Marvel Studios subreddit or anything like that, I'm sure you see casting photos every day or photos from the set of these two with their bow and arrows. Exciting, but we don't know anything about it. We don't know. Timeline, I think, is after the snap. It's going to be after Endgame and everything. bow and arrows exciting but we don't know anything about it we don't know you know timeline i think is after the snap it's going to be after end game and everything but other than that we don't know

anything we haven't seen a poster trailer nothing like that yeah hawkeye i think everyone's kind of pretty similar hawkeye i'm sure they're i would love to meet like hawkeye diehards you know i think there are like diehards of this kate bishop character i'm not super familiar myself but i think she's like the new age spider gwen type character of hawkeye and i know people love her so i don't know i i can get down with that i mean i think the the clint the original one kind of went his way and uh what's the when he just goes fucking crazy starts murdering people oh ronan that was yeah when he becomes ronan like that's a cool twist on a character so just because like he was boring as hawkeye does like i kind of like when they recreate these guys and make them better

cooler and stuff like that um so no release date just it's coming and fall 2021 fall 2021 okay which okay okay up next we get a trailer for what if this is a show that we've talked a lot about on the podcast we've been like what is it going to be like what stories are they going to go through we see a lot of different possibilities it's one and one of those where if you want to pull a trailer up you can as well because the animation style is really cool the storylines that they wound up picking very cool give it a watch clem all right i'm watching it right now i am fucking stoked for whatever that was awesome right that was awesome ah man i used i kind of want to go back and like read the comic books now too because like i always just love not even like the the story's always fun

but just the the i the the question you know what i mean though the way they came up with these questions are always so fucking cool what if this person was given the adamantine clause instead of that person oh god let's for those who haven't seen the trailer we get some glimpses of what if stories such as what if yondu stumbled upon t'challa in wakanda instead of peter quill and what if he became star lord or what if peggy instead of steve rogers were made into the super soldier and became Captain Britain? We even saw Captain America as a zombie in there. They're going to do what if there's a zombie outbreak in the Marvel Universe? We saw Doctor

Strange battling his evil self. We saw Loki in there addressing the UN. Apparently there's even some concept art that wasn't in the trailer of Iron Man in some gladiator gear on Sakaar. And we know Jeff Goldblum did an episode so there might be an episode like what if iron man was the one sent to sakaar instead of thor had to battle the

hulk on that planet would be pretty sick i think what if is going to be amazing i think what it's going to be great it's going to be a lot of nerd out moments they also have i know they have a lot of the real characters that a lot of the real actors are doing the voices. I believe, sadly enough, that this is Chadwick Boseman's last performance, technically. The voice performance in this story. Damn. That's heavy. I don't know, man.

I even like that we saw The Watcher, too. I always liked those comic books. Even when the what-ifs, I didn't really follow the characters they were talking about. I always just loved the way they mixed it up. i could be 100% wrong i feel like stan lee was a big fan of him that's probably just something i made up in my mind but um or i think it's probably because he's talking to the watchers in that one fucking deleted you know cut scene or whatever man because we've been talking about this forever to actually see it the animation looks

fucking sweet i'm stoked i want to see what-ifs as soon as possible i want to come up with what ifs i oh man i'm so happy that's that's that's the thing is that so that's disney plus and it has to be all this stuff will be disney plus yeah did they say when it's coming out i don't think there was a date on that i think it's just this year i think it's or next year i mean 2021 okay all right i'll take i'm not sure if there's a date awesome yes all right i forgot about what is all right the next portion of this i'm going to rattle off three shows one of them is real two of them are false you tell me which one is the real show okay first up secret invasion starring samuel l. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn.

Next up, Ironheart. Engineering protege Riri Williams tries to live up to the moniker of Tony Stark. And finally, Armor Wars, the war machine show. Tony Stark's technology falls into the wrong hands. Ooh. I would be interested in Armor Wars because i feel like that's kind of like what happens with mysterio and um spider-man i'm gonna say this is the first what's the first one called secret invasion so i heard secret wars was gonna be one of the was gonna be like the big overarching story for the next phase here so i'm gonna guess that's real i got some news for you clem they're all real oh you told you mom that was good that was well done sir tip of the cap wow wow okay what's the

two because i i was so focused on that's ironheart that was we actually talked about ironheart a little bit after sadly iron man passed away after he sacrificed himself for the entire university entire galaxy this is who Iron Man basically in the comics now they call her Ironheart and it's a very Shuri-like character it's this girl Riri Williams who's just an engineering genius almost a Peter Parker type and that she's just so brilliant and she builds her own Iron Man suit we speculated hey maybe they take that Riris character and they sort of give traits to shuri but it looks like they're just gonna like make the character themselves which is pretty cool

this is another character i don't know a ton about but i know is very very beloved in the comics so is this all three animated no all three live action all three live action holy yeah so secret invasion will have samuel l jackson as nick fury and Ben Mendelsohn as his Skrull. We'll probably see them start to build S.W.O.R.D., right? Which is the space version of S.H.I.E.L.D. I assume that'll be like that. And like you said, Secret Wars is going to be the next big Infinity Saga-like event for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At least it's heavily rumored to be so. Explain that to the people what that is.

The people who don't understand. Because I kind of am starting to understand it all. See, I don't even know a ton about it, but I know Secret Wars was, I think it's the origin of the Venom suit in the comics, actually, for Spider-Man. But it's a lot of superhero versus superhero. All the Skrulls from Captain Marvel, Ben Mendelsohn, they're going to play the biggest role in that. Yeah, see, that's going gonna be some crazy ass shit and if you saw captain marvel like whether you loved it hated it whatever it may be like that shit is going to be very important here and sword is gonna you know it's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of i think everything's gonna

be very spacey i don't know if there's any other space shit that got announced out of those three that i am i'm i'm i'm stoked for i, I Samuel Jackson just fucking chilling back as Nick Fury, man. Fucking awesome. Um, and I love Ben Mendelsohn. I'm a complete Ben Mendelsohn Stan, that scene in captain Marvel,

where he's like, you're supposed to be my science guy. Crack me up. Like my favorite scene in that movie. Yeah. I forgot about the iron heart thing. So, and then the set up too i think it's such a natural

setup where you could be like yeah iron man his action inspired so many that this girl wanted to build her own iron man suit then you get into that and then the final one was armor wars which was armor wars it's gonna be don cheetle coming back as war machine roadie's getting his own show tony stark's worst fear comes true his technology falls into the wrong hands that i mean i'm always down for tony stark shit doing awesome stuff um my nephew's gonna lose his mind over that he's got you know the entire iron legion and those are his favorite toys i'm just thinking like oh my god he's gonna be going crazy that's what i was gonna say uh disney's like all right that one's definitely coming out because we need to sell a shitload of toys because we don't have people going to our parks and spending $60 on a pair of Mickey ears, basically. Yeah, they're like, we're not done making Iron Man toys, guys.

Iron Man may be gone, but we're making Rhodey his own show, Ironheart. We're going to keep making these suits because they look awesome. All right, up next, this was a huge announcement. Tatiana Mansley has taken the lead role in She-Hulk. Not only that, Mark Ruffalo will appear in the series alongside Tim Roth, reprising his role as Abomination from the Ed Norton Incredible Hulk movie. Kind of an unbelievable out of left field Tim Roth. I never expected him to come back. I didn't see the Hulks.

I was told when both of them came out, it was like the, the critical acclaim or lack thereof. That kind of scared me off of my feet. That was also around the time when life went dark with kids where I couldn't really go out and do anything. No, that was way before. Oh, that was, no, that was 2008. That was when I was just living like a fucking, just a jerk.

I could do, I had a life back then. I was with the giants for good last time the giants were good um i guess they wouldn't love it anyway tim roth yes so i didn't see that so it's worth re-watching just to like it's not as bad as people make it out to be definitely isn't really yeah it's worth watching because it is like it's not mcu quality in terms of they were still working out the kinks figuring out like what kind of movie works for them but it's fucking ed norton he's a great actor playing the hulk yeah and tim roth it's kind of like with the everything we've talked about with hayden christensen coming back and portman like i always like when people come back once the franchises kind of got their sea

legs and and figured it out uh she hulk i mean i'm always down for the hulk in general so you throw she hulk in there i i i i've read some of her stuff when i was younger sienna loves her like we play the lego we play the lego marvel game and you know she always likes being the girls if she can be and she likes when the hulk smashes shit so it's kind of like two birds one stone she likes having a badass i mean when your fucking favorite comic book character is gomorrah like someone who just is like look she has these crazy powers she's just a really good fighter um she can definitely get down with you know the hulk she's the same hue as gomorrah so i guess it kind of makes sense up next we've got ant-man 3 officially has a title it will be called quantum

mania peyton reed will be returning to direct he did the first two and kang theton Reed will be returning to direct it. He did the first two. And Kang the Conqueror will be the villain. He is one of the biggest villains in the entire Marvel echelon. I don't know a ton about him personally, but I know people are stoked about Kang the Conqueror coming in here. Kang the Conqueror. This fucking guy. The aforementioned Lego game.

This guy has caused a whole bunch of shit for me in this Lego game, and I don't know who he is, but he has just caused chaos. He's turned the, I won't go into the video game, but Kang, I do not enjoy Kang cause he's a pain in the ass, but he's pretty fucking bad-ass. So that's what everyone says. Yeah. People are stoked. I'm stoked for him as well. Just I only know him from that game. I,

there's a lot of these villains I have a blind side for, especially if they were like Avenger villains. Cause again, I wasn't an Avenger guy growing up um ant-man is tough because you guys tell you've told me a million times you gotta watch it it's a funny movie it's a good movie it's an important movie all things considered i just i have a blind spot the minute i turn it on i just like doze off it like there's something my body and it do not not mix. I really, maybe I just have to watch the third one, love it, and then go back and watch the first and second. Because I didn't watch Guardians until after Infinity War.

And I was like, these guys are fucking great. I got to learn more about them. So I almost feel like I have to do that with Ant-Man here. Maybe I'll just watch three and it'll get me to watch one and two. Yeah, maybe. I am Groot up next. It's a series of short films starring Baby Groot.

I don't believe these will be animated in terms of cartoons. I think they'll be kind of like we saw Baby Groot, like visual effects animated. Again, excited for these. Give me as many I Am Groot little shorts as you want. Everything we said about R2-D2 carries right over to Baby Groot. Exactly, yes. Basically, everything we said about r2d2 carries right over to exactly yes basically everything we said about baby baby g little g man baby yoda carries over to baby groot as well i was very quiet on this subject and i didn't want to get into it i'm not going

to get into it right now so if you guys tweeted me i'm not i'm just going to ignore it i think there's a case we made the baby group can be cuter than baby yoda at certain times because i now this is also listen to this this is a dad yeah this is a dad who associates baby group with his children that he loves so i am very like we are the guardians of the galaxy that's what we watch we listen to the songs in the car that is my children baby group i am so fucking excited for this right now i could not even put into words oh so so are they gonna just pay fucking vin diesel millions of dollars oh man no way does vin diesel get paid for this i mean like listen i love it like it's a straight up boondoggle

enough with the getting paid for the iowa anyone could do that oh man so we're gonna so it's not animated so we're gonna have i think yeah i think it's just gonna be kind of like uh you know like we saw him in the post credit scene like dancing around give me everything give me that in 20 minutes give me it in 20 seconds whatever it is baby grew everywhere i turn on fucking disney plus baby grew just as fucking dancing around says i and grew and we keep going I can I am stoked for this I don't care what kind of nonsense you have him get into I mean just watching the when he has to push the button and I am Groot oh he's just the best he's just the best listen I know I didn't I missed out again that's Guardians the big Groot I knew everyone loved this guy named Groot, and it was like this funny meme thing and everything.

Little Groot is so much better than Big Groot. I'm sorry. I love Big Groot. When he did the moment. We are Groot. Yes, Teenage Groot is great too. But We Are Groot is like one of the all-time biggest tear-jerker moments in cinematic history.

Fuck MCU history. Baby Groot, home run. Home run, Disney. Home run. So to keep it on the guardians train and i know you are aware of this one because i saw your tweet about it i would say this might be my most excited announcement in terms of marvel you said at the end of the star wars announcement what am i most excited for it was obi-wan for marvel i think it's the fucking guardians of the galaxy holiday special due out holidays 2022 they will film this alongside guardians of the galaxy holiday special due out holidays 2022 they will film this

alongside guardians of the galaxy 3 apparently this is a story that james gunn has been bugging kevin fuggie about for years he said he's just been saying can i please make the story can i please make the story he even said as a kid he unironically loved the star wars holiday special i cannot wait i'm such a sucker for a good holiday special i mean we'll talk about the lego star wars holiday special next week we can't do it this week because we're almost two hours in as it is but i loved that i think i'm gonna love this i'm a real sucker for a holiday special and i'm just excited for james gunn to get his shot at his i i forget how much i loved when um just tv shows would have their annual holiday special. They'd have their Halloween one,

like TGIF or whatever sitcoms you were watching. I saw this on Instagram first. I was just scrolling and I saw James Gunn put it and I was like, Oh, like that would be funny. That's a joke. And then I went to his Twitter. I'm like, it's just a joke. And I'm like, even though he had put it on both social medias and like said, like 10 times, like this is real. It's not a joke. I was like, that's a pretty good joke, James. I still cannot believe it's real.

I almost wish I had, like, if I had revealed this, my head would have exploded. It's probably better that like, I, I wouldn't have believed you after especially after you pulled that trick on me with the other three. It's just so delightful. I love the guardian so much. You would give me anything, let alone a holiday special by James gun. It it's like i mean it's a it's a four-point play it's not even a slam dunk it's it's as good as it can fucking get oh i cannot wait for this right now i wonder if it's gonna be peter quill teaching them about christmas because he's he's from earth right so he's got christmas it could be a straight up christmas show oh man yeah and, it could all make sense because Peter is, yeah, from Earth.

Oh, man, this could be a – this is going to be so fucking – now I'm worried now with Guardians. Now that I love these movies, I've seen them. I've never seen a fresh one, you know what I mean, in the theaters or whatever. I'm going to go with such high expectations. I'm a little scared that I could go with that. Because I am one of the rare ones that likes Guardians 2, not only more than one, a lot more than one.

We actually just watched it again the other day. And I don't know. I just think the villain is so – Ronan the Accuser is just so – He goes way better than Ronan. Way, way better. Yeah, I agree with that. So, I mean, yeah, this might be –

out of everything we've mentioned so far, it's hard to put it above Obi-Wan just because that's going to be so much more content, right? But this might be number two for me, and there's some pretty heavy things behind it. All right, Clem, we've made it to the end. One more announcement left. They announced that finally everyone's favorite family

will be coming to Marvel. The Fantastic Four four directed by john watts who directed homecoming and far from home they said listen you fucking crushed it with spider-man you crushed it with that property that we're bringing into marvel why don't you give fantastic four a shot all right it's his deal on some morning shake the head i know you were hoping for x-men weren't you i was hoping for x-men so fucking badly god damn it i mean i shouldn't say i'm fantastic for i know listen i like fantastic for that i was kind of into their stuff i you know the first movie i dug um they were really important i guess the infinity war War, like Mr. Fantastic was a big part

of it. That's really tough too. That's so unfair to the Fantastic Four that I wish just X-Men had been announced too. Damn it. I was wondering if I had missed it too, because I was saying I want the animated show to come out. I was like, I want the animated show to come out. And then I went off Twitter for a while and there was a thousand other denouncers. So maybe it had gone back under the radar. Fuck. I can't believe. If this makes you any more excited, our guy,

Justin Kroll, big time Hollywood film reporter. He's been on the show before actually said when this got announced that there's been a lot of talk in Hollywood, if them bringing in the other properties. So I think if they're bringing in the X-Men, I think it might be in this movie. This might be the soft launch, you know, how they brought in ahsoka through mandalorian they might be bringing

in the x-men through fantastic four i could fuck with that i could fuck and again fantastic four you just have to you know hit the four of them obviously and then whoever okay okay i'm talking myself into this fantastic four thing listen guys i'm a big x-men guy that was my shit growing up it's a i and the way it kind of went off the rails at the end there really bummed me out but fantastic four i feel like if they can make the fucking avengers turn into what the avengers became they can crush the fantastic four and we need again i didn't really know much about him in the comics but i know how awesome dr doom was we need dr doom causing some shit now. And he's the fucking thorn in their

side. So sign me up. Obviously, there's really nothing else to tell you. But again, if that's a director, I mean, we're in good hands right now. I imagine everything is very much up in the air in terms of time, cast and everything else, right? It's just that was the whole announcement. Yeah. And Justin Kroll, this tweet, so I could just give everyone the word for word thing. He said, heard rumblings from a handful of people that news on the former Fox properties could be included in this presentation. Feel after this news, it's only a matter of time before we get some X-Men news too. So maybe it's not that they'll be brought in through this, but maybe we'll get X-Men soon. Maybe it could be in this, maybe it could not be in this we'll have to wait and see let's fucking go all right all right you know fantastic four that opens up i feel like they're they touch all these things like galactus and um silver surfer like don't and this is all going to be part of shield and the space stuff we're going to be going um we're going we're leaving earth i think for the

most part with a lot of these properties and even though X-Men is pretty much based on Earth, I think Fantastic Four does make a lot of sense with this next phase. And I imagine, I mean, again, Disney's not going to be like, oh yeah, those like money-making guys that, you know, made Hugh Jackman fucking this huge name and all that stuff. We'll just take our time with that. X-Men's coming. I'm not concerned. Bring back the show.

Bring back the theme song. Okay. So, damn it. Like, it's like when you have your mindset on the gift and you've got an awesome gift under the tree and it's like all right there's a chance you know when i see you know my grandma later she's gonna be the one that gets me the gift i'm gonna like hold that hope that you know mickey's gonna give me a nice gift in a little while so i'm gonna be happy with my fantastic four you know i'm gonna smile for the pictures i'm gonna show it up to the

camera put a nice happy face on okay i can get down with that and again it's an important thing it's an important phase okay i'm talking myself in the fantastic way all right i'm excited i'm excited for the sensor i want it on the record clem we've made it the extravaganza is over the future is bright the next few years of nerdy content i I mean, 2020 was a rough one. We didn't get a ton in the Marvel. I mean, we didn't get anything in the Marvel realm. We got a little bit in the Star Wars realm. Mando has held us over.

Thank you to Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, everyone involved in that. Thank fucking God that they got this out. Next week, next Friday, we get the finale, which, like I said, bittersweet. You know, we don't want the season to end, but at the same time, I want fucking Grogu in our possession more than I don't want the season to end but at the same time i want to fucking grogu in our possession more than i don't want the season to end so we got to get that guy back moff gideon we're coming for you you motherfucker we're on your tail you know you you got the tracking device on us well now we got the fucking tracking device on you we do the fucking we do the fucking go to 3g.com right now.
