From the ZDM Podcast Network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod, and last night was a first for producer Carwin. Was it? And unlike Vaughn, who's done this many times. Oh, many times. Yeah, last night, the first time you've been to a Star Wars movie. A Star Wars. You went to a Star Wars.

A single Star War. Wow. Did you go to the new Grogu? Mandalorian and Grogu? Mandolarian and Grogu. I got one of the names. Wait, have you seen the Mandalorian series? No.

Do you need to? It helps. It helps. It's not like fully necessary, but it helps. I mean, the more you watch, the more you'll enjoy, I think. Yeah. What did we think? A lot of pew-pues, a lot of...

Pew-Piu! Yeah, a lot of those. A lot of bad guys, not many women in the cast or the credits, I will say I did sit there and count. They don't want to be subject to the nerd hate online. Yeah. Yeah. Sigourney Weaver. Is that a spoiler?

I don't know. No, no, no. She's not. She's in the trailer in her, really. She's like the only female character. I know that these are like not human beings, necessarily every person in this film, but there weren't really many females. I just think some of the droids that were not identified as females.

Oh, okay. Yeah. The ones that don't speak and have no faces. Right, right. So there you go, Carwin. Why don't we just convince ourselves that they're all women? Maybe some of those Stormtrooper dudes. Yeah.

Are they all men? Why, yeah, they'd have to have titty plates in If they were female stormtroppers Yeah, they'd have to wrap, yeah Yeah You'd wrap the baps You'd wrap the baps to get behind those like hard armour Yeah

So is Pedro Pascall? Pedro Pascal? He's in this, right? Do you see his face though? Yeah, for about five minutes That's nice Five months Some of the reviews

The people have had a problem with But then that's been the entire series Of the Mandalorian Whenever he's got the helmet on, it's not him Because it's normally an actor on set, right? Yeah, it's stuff, stunt guys. Yeah.

And they get named in the credits, the two guys who also do the stunt work. So he's just in the VO booth. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? What a gig. I'm like, does he get paid less because he's not there physically in person? Probably.

But probably not. He's Pedro Pascal. Yeah. Pay him all the money. So what was your rating? Because this movie hasn't been well received, has it? Has it not? Not like super well received, but you just can't play Star Wars fans.

People are just... But I feel like Star Wars fans have been pleased recently. Because, you know, the Mandalorian series was so good. And what was the other one? Andor. Everyone was like, Herm again. Andor was amazing. You see, everyone's happy about that.

Yeah. So what would you give it? How many R2s out of D2s? I'd give 3.5 Artoos out of the five D2s. Wow, that's pretty good. That's pretty good stuff from you. Honestly, it's all Grogo. He's so little cute.

What about those other little dudes? Yeah, they were cute too. What are they? No, I don't know. They're like the little, um, little, sellers. Barboos. I just call them barboos.

They look like they would be called barboos. Right. They're quite funny. Yeah. I feel like I won't watch it. I'm just going to be honest and I just feel like it will just pass me by. Yeah. I don't think it's going to be your cup of tea.

I like the original ones with the with the, um... The Skywalker's. The Skywalker saga. And Leia and all of that and Darth Vader. Like that's a bit of me. They're a classic. My wife is a brother and I still have a problem with that. I don't know.

It's weird. Yeah It's a different universe There's different rules Yeah You know what I mean I hadn't thought of it like that Still when they found out

They were brother and sister They didn't do it again Yeah yeah yeah yeah And you wouldn't would you Yeah yeah And no one saw it Apart from like Obi-1 Canobe And then he got

We all saw it Hello And then he had Darth Vader Cut him in half And he disappeared And he was like I'll keep Mum's the word

On the fact that you kissed you Brother and sister Have you seen it yet? What The movie The Mandalorian and Rogu Yeah Yeah, I went last night too.
