Starting point is 00:01:39 I think that was a Sash. Maybe. Oh, boy. How long do we have to wait a week? Yeah. Yeah, we were privileged enough to get access to the first eight episodes early, and it's interesting

Starting point is 00:01:56 that they would and here I normally they mathematically plan out the screeners and more interesting I think that bodes really well then next week would be like

Starting point is 00:02:08 the big return not just the big return but I think setting into motion the Mandalorian movie the Ray Skywalker movie yes sure all the above why not Mike

Starting point is 00:02:19 yeah I think it all bad bash is going to change everything it's going to blow it all over well you know you say that jokingly Greg but I in my heart of heart I don't know, actually. I've done you for years, and I still have no idea. You've got to find the right wavelength and the tones.

Starting point is 00:02:33 That way, you could sway either way, depending on the outcome of what happens. So you could be like, I was clearly just joking, or I wasn't, I just sound sarcats. It's funny because I still have no idea where we stand. No, I think everything bodes well. I mean, this episode, honestly, I would have loved for them to be like, we're going to go off and figure out how to get this information and then not follow that and then spend the entire time with the Omega Cross here. I just,

Starting point is 00:03:03 I love that dynamic so much. Likewise. And, you know, it was fun. Always fun seeing a returning character from, you know, outside the bad batch. For sure. Yeah, now I'm super curious how it all kind of connects. I really would love to see Boba in this time period, though. I mean, we're not supposed to get Bobo just yet.

Starting point is 00:03:26 I mean, the time fanic season, we know the whole origin of their encounters, the first encounters. I do, I would say out of all the episodes thus far with season three, this would be my, I liked it still. It would, there's only one that I was like, number two. Yeah, but this would be still above, there's still be right behind number two for me out of, out of them all. Yeah, I agree. Like, I, I enjoyed it. And I was able to, like, have the time passed by, having Mingnauwen come back for Fenwick Shan is a welcome, a welcome presence in my mind. And I agree with what you said earlier.

Starting point is 00:04:04 Like, such a wonderful voice talent. And I don't know, there's this, like, one of the neat things about Star Wars is being able to explore characters at various stages of their, like, personal development. And that's one of, that's been one of my favorite parts of the Mandalorian has been spending time. with these characters who we've known their younger versions and Clone Wars and to see this kind of intermediary in between it's just super interesting

Starting point is 00:04:33 because obviously she's so much more refined and I think wise and less of a jerk that she is at this chapter of things but yeah it's a lot of fun it was fun for the most part I do think though that yeah like an episode like this

Starting point is 00:04:50 well it's kind of cool to get to different locations and then really reflects like the Swamp Life, something that I have no familiarity with outside of other mediums that have explored the Swamp Life for me already, or video games for that matter. And it is like, yeah, everything was like reasonably fine. I still find, you know, Hunter and Wrecker, like while I thought it was good to give an episode of Wrecker,

Starting point is 00:05:13 where they showed a little bit more of his capability, explosive expert, and a ruthless threat when it comes to throwing down some fisticuffs, give me some aliens, some licks. Gator Wrangler is a cool byline in one's resume. Yeah, it was good. And, but, I don't know, it was just kind of like the mission itself wasn't exactly the most thrilling thing. And then the villain that they ended up fighting, I don't know, after like so many episodes

Starting point is 00:05:40 of them taking down crazy ass monsters, this just seems so small scale. And a part of me was, I didn't, I don't really feel like it justified. why Fennick would need the batch. Yeah, like this does seem like a mission Fennick could have handled herself. Unless it was just a tie into this whole thing in the ending scene. I think it was probably more so a test of trust. Fair enough.

Starting point is 00:06:11 Because if Fennick is genuinely, because now I'm really curious, who was the client? What side is Fennick really on? I don't know. There's some, like, interesting politic. I hope, I hope in my heart of hearts that it pays off in some kind of way to where it wasn't just like a lazy bounty hunter, trying to get somebody to do their work for them. And also the stuff with Omega and Crosshair, that's always a welcome to light, the power of meditation.

Starting point is 00:06:41 I like seeing that infused in Star Wars in general. I myself, love a good meditation session. Yeah. And if there's anyone who really needs it, it's Crosshair, learning to be in the moment and trust and follow your body. in your senses i think it's a great a great call and to tie it back into uh gungee for the you know that one special episode i thought was a great great call but overall yeah this is that out of them out of all the episodes of bad batch uh for this season which i have found to be a particularly stellar season this would be on the lower end and a lot does have to do with i i have lost a

Starting point is 00:07:16 lot of interest in particular with hunter and record as characters yeah more than just i don't like him. I like them more in a bigger group setting, but they constantly keep pairing them off to be on their own with each other. Yeah. And while I think the dynamic makes sense where you got your, your larger, more silly character paired up with your more stoic, badass leader. Yeah, I get the juxtaposition of putting them both together. It doesn't make for the most interest. They just don't really have much story to tell with them. I hope this doesn't come off in the wrong way. Citizens of the Reject Nation, or should I say, Royal Rejects, because that is who we call those who check out our RR apparel at Rejectnationshop.com.

Starting point is 00:07:59 We come out with new designs every month or every two months. It is personally my favorite way you can support the channel. Reason being is because we are involved with every one of the exclusive RR designs that are up at the shop. We got a bunch of designs already, such as our Super Marvel bro shirt. My sister actually designed this one, Deadpool Wolverine inspired, my personal favorite one. But then we also got our number one bestseller, The Last Daddy T-shirt, which has Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us inspired, carrying baby Grogu. We have Loki's Glorious Balloon. We also have our Doctor Who shirt, which is full of a bunch of classic Doctor Who quotes on the Tartis.

Starting point is 00:08:36 We have Space Babies of the Galaxy. We got ourselves some Star Wars-inspired shirts. We got a boys-inspired shirt, and we have a House of the Dragon one as well, pointing those out because obviously we have new seasons of those shows coming up. And then, of course, you got a bunch of other designs as well, like our bat first one, who influences the influencers, another Last of Us inspired t-shirt. And of course, you know, the classic reject symbolism t-shirts as well. Either one is an amazing way to support the channel. And like I said, you get to look good while doing it.

Starting point is 00:09:06 So thank you guys so much. Do consider going to rejectnation shop.com. And also, tag us on social media. If you end up buying a shirt, please tag us. We'd love to see it when people do end up buying the shirts. Thank you, Royal Rejects. See you guys soon. But I hope that one of them, at minimum, doesn't make it to the end of the season.

Starting point is 00:09:27 Sure. I get what you mean. Like, yeah, I just, there is not enough dimensions to these characters to make the batch as interesting as it should be. Right, right. And honestly, like, even the presence or the presence of the lack of tech, that makes any sense, I felt like has more. oomph to it than these characters that are still physically there. I'm there with you. But yeah, no, I mean, listen, I think for this many, like, knock it out of the park episodes,

Starting point is 00:10:01 like, I think they're entitled to an episode or two that are, you know, less than stellar. And I appreciate the setup, and I'm excited for next week. What do you all think is going to happen, though? I mean, do we think that Fenwick is working with a job? Jedi. Do we think she's working with Ventrists? Do we think that it's a trap? You know, like, what's the

Starting point is 00:10:27 where's this going? And I have to say, I've like, especially this season, and I feel like I guess if you've made it this far in Bad Bad Bad Badch, you're like committed. But I've like really, really enjoyed the conversations and the theories that have been going on in the comment section. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:43 It's like, it's really wonderful to see how like invested everyone is. And I think in the same way it took a while for people to see like the magic of rebels and the magic of Clone Wars, I feel like thank you to the individuals that have seen the magic

Starting point is 00:10:59 that is the bad batch when it's doing its best. But underrated stuff. Underrated stuff. Yeah. Well, do me a favor. Leave a like with the force. All you got to do is meditate

Starting point is 00:11:15 and click that notification bell. And don't forget to leave a comment below. And, man, I see why you don't let me do this, Greg. This is harder than it should be. You always take the initiative without me ever suggesting you do. And I appreciate it. I feel like to hear it from somebody else, you really stop and you're like, huh, those are words.

Starting point is 00:11:41 Anyway, please, Greg begs you. every night he goes to bed and he reads the list of every single subscriber by name and thanks to them before he goes to sleep. So add yourself to that list to be on Greg's bedtime list. Well, that was smooth. See you guys. Chase Gardner, my friend Chase, Chase, it is the spring break season. and I can only imagine what

Starting point is 00:12:14 a crazy wildcat like you is doing on this spring break event I imagine that right now you are saving people from burning buildings if there's anything about Chase Gardner is that he is one hell of a hero he goes outside with his garden hose

Starting point is 00:12:31 when the firefighters are like sir please stay behind let us do our jobs you take your garden hose you move the fire hose from the firefighters out of the fire hydrant. And you're like, let me just plug in my water hose. I got it off Amazon recently.

Starting point is 00:12:46 I'm telling you, it'll get the job done way better than this outdated government property that you have. And then what do you know? The building ends up exploding. It ends up going into Kablammy because of the fact that you let your ego get ahead of you. But hey, that's the string breaks for, man.

Starting point is 00:13:04 She's having a bitching all time. That's right, bro. Get it. Get it, Chase. Slap those buttons.
