We knew this was coming since Episode 1; pirates are coming for Nevarro this week. Irked by High Magistrate Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) and Din Djarin's (Pedro Pascal) defense of the planet from his underlings, pirate leader Gorian Shard (Carey Jones) attacks the planet. Karga gives a distress call to the New Republic, which pilot... Continue Reading →
Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) bathed in the living waters of Mandalore last episode, officially redeeming himself in the eyes of his tribe of Mandalorians. But what has Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi), who experimented on Grogu in Season 1, been up to? This episode is almost entirety dedicated to answering that question. Pershing, along with Elia...

Coming into this episode the Bad Batch (all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) are still ghosting Cid (Rhea Perlman), but in the meantime have been doing missions for her friend, Phee Genoa (Wanda Sykes). In fact, after one mission, she brings them to her home of Pabu, where she's never brought Cid. Pabu is basically... Continue Reading →
This week, we get two episodes of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch," as Episodes 7 and 8 tell a two-episode arc. Vice Admiral Rampart (Noshir Dalal) is working with the Imperial Senate to pass legislation to formally fund his stormtrooper program, even though he has already been siphoning off of funding for Kamino for about...

"Hawkeye" was a fun show. It has great action and banter between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, and they have amazing chemistry. It also has fun supporting characters that flesh out the world. And then you have "Rogers: The Musical," which is a fun little feature to the MCU that feels like a break from... Continue Reading →
Disney Plus has been out for a few years now, with its big tentpole releases being mostly Pixar, "Star Wars," and Marvel shows and movies. With any relatively new streaming platform, the central questions they face are: Has it made itself essential viewing? Does its library justify its existence? Why should consumers subscribe to it...

Quick Heads Up: There will be spoilers for the finale for Moon Knight. I normally don't do spoilers but given that this is a Marvel show and the post-credit scenes, I wanted to cover my tracks. And so, we come to the end of the season. For a show that felt slow to get my... Continue Reading →
Before we begin, a quick note: I am not an expert on dissociative identity disorder, and I don’t pretend to be. So I apologize in advance for any faux pas made here and know that I will make an effort to rectify my ignorance moving forward. I had a lot of questions with the last... Continue Reading →

Before we begin, a quick note: I am not an expert on dissociative identity disorder, and I don’t pretend to be. So I apologize in advance for any faux pas made here and know that I will make an effort to rectify my ignorance moving forward. Up until now, I was trying really hard to... Continue Reading →

If you've been reading my The Book of Boba Fett reviews, you'll know that I've been vocal about my irritation with the show's (and the rest of modern Star Wars') overreliance on fan service and legacy characters. This show and The Bad Batch were shows that came in with interesting stories, but then got bogged... Continue Reading →
And so, we come to the end of the season. And if I'm going to be honest, I wasn't too excited for it. Despite my best efforts to hope the show would tell a compelling story, the show didn't seem too interested in telling one. I cut them some slack when we first got Mando;... Continue Reading →
Last week's episode was a nice refresher as someone who loved The Mandalorian. And as the gang war on Tatooine (from what we've gotten) builds up, I've been holding onto hope that the big fight will pay off. Well, there's one episode left; but this one didn't leave me with the highest hopes. Mando is... Continue Reading →
Around this time las year, my sister gave me and my folks access to her Disney+ account; and one of the first things I've watched was The Mandalorian. It was so good, I binged both seasons in an entire weekend. It's the western I'd recommend to people who don't like westerns. And with this episode,... Continue Reading →
One thing I've heard in looking at other people's takes on this show is complaints about how the show "ruined" Boba Fett's character. And to that I have to say, "What character?" The three lines he had in the original trilogy? Or the Robot Chicken version of him? Now, I haven't seen The Clone Wars... Continue Reading →
Origin stories for villains are quite common. What started with Maleficent, has moved to villains like the Joker, Norman Bates, and even Nurse Ratched. But when I heard this movie was made, I made fun of the idea behind it. It wasn't until hearing ads for it at work I decided to give it a... Continue Reading →
After watching the last episode, I found a friend of mine comparing the series to The Godfather: Part II, and in many ways, I get it. Both follow a crime boss trying to govern and how they came to power. The only issue with that is that Vito Corleone was already established as an influential... Continue Reading →
After watching the first episode, I heard many people talk about how it feels like one of the Expanded Universe books. And I can see that with the look into Boba Fett in-between Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian. But at the same time, I've enjoyed seeing the dealings in the sci-fi underbelly. And...
