Now I've spoken on the podcast about now 4 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.080 loving cucumbers after being indifferent on them for so many 5 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:21.719 numbers years cucumbers. Now have I morphed into a person 6 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.960 that prefers the fall over the summer? 7 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:25.640 Oh? 8 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.160 I think this is just your late to the party here, 9 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.960 I and this is maybe a very new England thing. 10 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.840 I would say a majority, maybe seventy to eighty percent 11 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.560 of the people I know prefer fall over summer. 12 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.399 Hey, over to ax.

It's my 16 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:51.880 favorite thing in the world to do. 17 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.479 You can golf in the fall, though. 18 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.640 Yeah, it's pretty much my only hobby. And summer is 19 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.840 you know, golf season. However, after like three or four 20 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.000 weeks of ninety degrees in humidity as we got, and 21 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.239 in a lot of July hasn't been as hot in August, 22 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.640 I'm kind of over it. Whereas in the fall or 23 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.519 a crisp summer morning. I love it to be like 24 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.680 sixty eight to seventy two. You know, I can wear 25 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.040 shorts in a pullover or you know, pants in a 26 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.480 long tea. I like that that that window right there, 27 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.280 and you don't get it in summer, you get it 28 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:25.719 in fall. 29 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.519 I do like how we are morphing. Our podcast is 30 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.120 also growing as we get older, into two white guys 31 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.159 talking about the weather. 32 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.519 You know, it's funny, is I think it is like 33 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.439 an old guy thing. But I very in tune with 34 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.879 the weather because also like my job sometimes it's very 35 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:46.959 affected by the weather, Like if it's going to be 36 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.719 a real scare, it's like, if there's gonna be thunderstorms, 37 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.959 I'm gonna be dealing with wires down a car accident. 38 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.200 So I'm like, I look at the weather more often 39 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:56.760 than most. 40 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.760 Yeah, I because I do the Free Friday Flame WBZ. 41 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.079 We still have three more.

I am constantly looking at 45 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.080 the weather and keeping track of the weather. And I 46 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.800 think it was the humidity of July that really broke me. 47 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.919 Yeah, it was a brutal months, that's for sure. And 48 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.719 this is I don't know what I would before because 49 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.319 last summer there was so much rain that it almost 50 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.719 like ruined the summer, like every weekend at rain extensively. 51 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.400 By the way, speaking of weather and that most recent ghost, 52 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:40.080 let's just. 53 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.800 Talk about weather. I'm really into this. Now. Let's stop 54 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:43.919 with the movie crap. 55 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.439 Frozen Empire is on Netflix, and I'll tell you what. 56 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.560 I tried to watch it, and about forty minutes in 57 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.840 I wish I had died via freezing to death like 58 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:54.479 those people. 59 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.639 I think I mentioned this on the podcast. We didn't 60 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.680 do a full episode on it. Maybe we'll add it 61 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.919 to one of your or not one of your, but 62 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.240 one of our What have you been watching lately? But 63 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.879 I made the point of saying the entire movie should 64 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.120 have been like the first ten minutes, just ride the 65 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.479 ecdo one around New York and catch ghosts. It's that simple. 66 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.479 Admittedly, the first like twenty thirty minutes, I was like, oh, 67 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.919 this isn't as bad as I thought. 68 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.960 It was gonna be, and then it immediately got back. 69 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.039 How do you find a way to make Paul Rudd 70 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.960 so Blandy. 71 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.080 The first twenty thirty minutes were solid, and then it 72 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.560 just kept going down and down. 73 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.599 And I have watched the first ten minutes of that 74 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.039 movie a hundred times. My son loves that scene. We 75 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.960 watch it over and over again, and I'm like, this 76 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:38.639 is good ghostbusting fun. 77 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.240 Swashbuckling fun. 78 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.479 Yeah, you don't swashbuckle when you catch ghosts. You don't 79 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.039 no spooky like you do spook buckle. 80 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:47.639 Yeah. 81 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.479 I like what I just did there. Let's edit that out. 82 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.400 Go back, guys, what do you think you do when 83 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.240 you catch ghosts? 84 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.680 I feel like swashbuckling fits. 85 00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.919 You can't swashbuckle in the Ghostbusters. 86 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.439 Also, I do opportunities swashbuckle anymore. 87 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.439 By the way, I am just pushing off talking about 88 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.439 the Acolyte as much as possible. I do. Like how 89 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.680 in that Saturday Night trailer that just came out, we'll 90 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.400 have it in our news dump at the top of 91 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.319 next week. But the announcer there, Don Pardo, the guy 92 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.720 playing Don Pardo. This is a movie about the first 93 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.360 episode of Saturday Night Live in nineteen seventy five, and 94 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.800 Don Pardo could not pronounce akroid. 95 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.079 Yeah, it's a it's an oddly spelled name. 96 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.839 Yes. I also asked my mother, I said, why did 97 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.079 people find Dan Akroyd funny? And she didn't have an 98 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:35.639 answer for me. 99 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.839 Yeah, you could ask that, honestly about half of that 100 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.199 original cast, although comedy was in a different place then. 101 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:42.399 Yeah. 102 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.720 But though it's like Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd are 103 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.759 just obtuse, and I think that worked in nineteen seventy six. 104 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.399 I think Chase still works. It was. I think a 105 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.199 lot of what Chase did after SNL is still funny. 106 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.519 Yeah, I guess that's true. 107 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.800 That's more true than with Akroyd, But he's a gigantic dickhead, 108 00:04:58.839 --> 00:04:59.959 and it really ruined. 109 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.279 Not acroy achoroid by all seems like a very nice. 110 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.319 Oh no, Chase. Yeah, I'm talking about Chase now. 111 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.079 It really like when I look back on stuff, you're like, man, 112 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.519 he really is a fucking asshole. 113 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.920 Huh Oh. I've heard stories of the set of Caddy 114 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000 Shack where if you weren't one of like those main 115 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.439 five or six people, Jevy Chase just treated you like garbage. 116 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.079 We don't treat our producers like garbage, even though they 117 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.399 keep on giving us these saying get to the Acolyte, 118 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.120 and I'm saying, why why are we going to get 119 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:36.560 to the acolyte? One? 120 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:37.399 Good three? 121 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:47.399 Yeah? Job three.

Today 130 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:11.959 we're talking about Goo's favorite television show series of all time. Yes, 131 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.600 The Acolyte, the latest live action Star Wars entry on 132 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.079 Disney Plus currently streaming. This was a TV fourteen and 133 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.959 Goo get this Action adventure, drama, fantasy, mystery, sci fi, 134 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:30.120 and thriller. This ran eight episodes, ranging between twenty seven 135 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.040 and thirty six minutes. It came out to about a 136 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.600 thirty three minute average, with the exception of the finale 137 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.279 that was forty two minutes. That total two hundred and 138 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.399 sixty six minutes of content, or four hours and twenty 139 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.079 six minutes of content. If that's easier for you to understand, Goo, 140 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.319 your hand was raising. 141 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.160 My hand was raised. I didn't want to interrupt you 142 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.199 if you were going back through those genres, which, by 143 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.360 the way, way too many genres. You obviously have it 144 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.920 in alphabetical order, but if you were putting it in 145 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.240 relevance of you know what. The show leaned on most 146 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.160 mystery and maybe a little too much. 147 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.120 It had a lot of promise to start with, and 148 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.240 we'll get into that in a few minutes. 149 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.240 I was hoping that it was going to be a 150 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.879 great mystery thriller. 151 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.399 Type thing, but the cat was out of the bag 152 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.120 almost immediately this show, and I think this is why 153 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.120 a lot of people aren't liking it, at least on 154 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.639 the internet, at least pretending. 155 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.480 Not like it is. 156 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.360 It really set itself up to be a great mystery 157 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.759 thriller story and then by the end, like it just 158 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.319 didn't quite get None of. 159 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.480 The mysteries really pay off. And yeah, none of them 160 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.040 I don't think a lot of them add to the story, 161 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.879 where like if you just told us at the beginning 162 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.560 what this mystery was and just like let the characters 163 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.319 develop with those as opposed to being like, oh, we'll 164 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.199 tell you at the end of this episode and at 165 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.920 the end of this episode, Like at the end of 166 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.279 every episode, I think they had a cliffhanger. You don't 167 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:50.319 need one every week. 168 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.160 Yeah, I get what you're saying. 169 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.319 I also think that the action in like sci fi 170 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.600 in this show was some of the best that Star 171 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:00.120 Wars is. 172 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:02.839 It legit had some. 173 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.360 Great Let me ask you this is, how do you 174 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.079 prefer your lightsaber? Because in this we kind of saw 175 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.480 two different versions. We saw kind of like the really 176 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:18.000 bright glowstick version, but we also saw like the remember 177 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.480 in what is the first movie with Ray I'm blanking 178 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.079 Force Awakens? Force Awakens when Ray and Kylo Wren are 179 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.199 lightsaber to lightsaber and you can hear the lightsaber sizzle. 180 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.399 We got a bit of that in this. Do you 181 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.559 prefer the sizzling saber or the super bright glow lightsaber? 182 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:35.919 I actually like. 183 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.919 When the different types are featured and not everyone has 184 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.960 the same type. I like that there's because, like in 185 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.759 if you just try to relate it to actual swords, 186 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.799 there's fucking hundreds of types of swords, and so it 187 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.480 would be dumb if everyone had the exact same sword, 188 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.759 because you know, as someone who would fight with swords, 189 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.600 you would always be looking for advantage. 190 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.600 As someone who does fight with swords, always. 191 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.279 Be looking for like an edge or a customization that 192 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.960 you give you an advantage. Yeah, so I like different 193 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.840 types being featured. We also saw a light whip for 194 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.960 the first time in Live Accident here, which I thought 195 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.879 was pretty cool as well. 196 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.240 Were people upset about that? I didn't read about what 197 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.519 people were upset about, because I know no people were. 198 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.639 Upset about that, And I think the strength of the 199 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.120 show was clearly that sort of stuff, and it definitely 200 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:31.360 fell short elsewhere. But the dialogue online has gotten so extreme, 201 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.360 and we have talked about this hundreds of times before. 202 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.399 The Star Wars fandom is so toxic you can't even 203 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.879 really you have to go into these shows with like 204 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.000 a blank slate because I have liked stuff they haven't liked. 205 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.000 I have hated stuff they've loved. And that's just really 206 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.480 what Star Wars has become at this point. And I think, 207 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.200 you know a little bit of a tease before this episode, 208 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.120 you talked about maybe you don't like Star Wars, And 209 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.480 to me, this show had a lot of the essence 210 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.000 of Star Wars, and that's why my mind was blown 211 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.399 that a lot of people did. 212 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:01.840 Not like it. 213 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.639 Yeah, I think it has to do a bit with 214 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.879 just people's vitriol towards it, and like putting certain movies 215 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.320 on pedestals and everything else sucks even before seeing it. 216 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.120 And then also I will say that these Disney show, 217 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.399 these Disney series, outside of the Mandalorian stuff, they all 218 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.879 just feel so Samesies to me, and they all feel 219 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.600 bland and to the point of like, just make some 220 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.679 movies again, put some effort into making movies. 221 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.480 That's a good segue, right there, guz so on Roddy Cheese, 222 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.519 this show has eighty percent from the critics, eighteen percent 223 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.720 from the audience. 224 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.279 On Metacritic, this has a sixty seven. 225 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.799 In general, the critics have liked all of these Star 226 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.759 Wars shows except for basically Boba Fett. 227 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:51.720 Okay, so you heavy air, and not to jump ahead 228 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:56.279 of you, but like the Mandalorian season three audience fifty percent, 229 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.279 Boba fet audience forty nine percent, Obi Won sixty one percent, 230 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.200 it's the same as those shows. 231 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.200 Yeah, so I liked it better than all of those, 232 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:06.960 and I could. 233 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.120 See that, but like, also I could see that maybe 234 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.840 someone likes those a little bit more than this, Like 235 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:14.480 there's no huge difference from what we've gotten in those 236 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:14.720 in this. 237 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.399 Yeah, and that has. 238 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.399 Been an issue with this these live action Star Wars shows, 239 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.360 for sure, but also it is a bit of an 240 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.399 issue with the fandom too of like expectations and wanting 241 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:26.720 to see this, wanting to see. 242 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.120 That, and also not stepping on what had been done 243 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.679 in the past and going against Cannon or perceived Cannon. 244 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:33.919 Well, that's why I. 245 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.399 Liked this show so much, and liked it, or at 246 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.399 least started off higher going in because this show is 247 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.679 set roughly one hundred years before anything we've ever seen. 248 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.960 Before, like before dinosaurs too right, and like. 249 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.200 Clearly they were going to make connections, but I liked 250 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.799 it was almost refreshing to have new characters not tied 251 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.000 to any expectations. 252 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.759 I think one of the issues that they actually had 253 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.840 was shoehorning in characters that we know, not to spoil anything, 254 00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.279 not to say any of the characters' names, but like 255 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.360 pushing in a couple of characters be like, hey, you 256 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.240 know that guy right. 257 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:05.559 Well. 258 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.159 I also felt like the couple they alluded to and 259 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.200 may or may not have shown it was fine the 260 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.840 way they did it. You know, they weren't really a 261 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.840 part of the show, but they were questions of who 262 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.480 was lingering. But again, like the critics have generally liked 263 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.879 all these shows, this was on the lower end, but 264 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.159 they have They've all been roughly in the same tier. 265 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:31.480 Minus season two of Mando, they have that a bit above. Obviously, 266 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.679 you know, we haven't watched and Or. The folks give 267 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.600 that a big thumbs up. And listen, if you say 268 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.519 that's the best Star Wars show, fine, I'm not gonna 269 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:38.919 fight your. 270 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.279 After seeing this, I now really want to watch and Or, 271 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.120 because I've been told by a million people, by the way, 272 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.799 I'm three episodes in, I'll get to it, but that 273 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.039 it's so much different than all of these, and maybe 274 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.120 that's what I need. I need something different. 275 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.200 Yeah, yeah, maybe that's that's the case. So yeah, to 276 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.720 talk about the other live action show. So we've had 277 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.879 The Mandalorian, the Book of Boba, fett Obi Wan Kenobi, 278 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.600 and Or and Ahsoka. The most recent one, of course 279 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.759 was Ahsoka. You and I I like that a bit 280 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.679 more than you, but we generally really enjoyed that. You 281 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.639 obviously had a hard time connecting to him because you 282 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.240 hadn't watched some of the animated stuff. 283 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.200 That was sort of a prerequisite. 284 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.039 But the Mandalorian season one ninety three percent, ninety two percent, 285 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.919 seventy on Metacritic. People really enjoyed that. I honestly didn't 286 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.840 care for it. A couple really strong episodes I gave that. 287 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.360 I think originally like twenty six hot dogs. It went 288 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.600 down to like twenty four to twenty five barely floats. 289 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.720 Which season season one of what Mandalorian? 290 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.039 You gave it? How many hot dogs? 291 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.399 Originally I gave it twenty six. I believe Tory. 292 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.279 I think you gave it like twenty eight or thirty. 293 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:43.240 I didn't care for it. 294 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.519 Wow, okay, yeah, yeah, you. 295 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.279 Gave it thirty three. You enjoyed it quite a bit. 296 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.440 And again, this has been my issue with the Mandalorian 297 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.159 is there'll be two great episodes, but in between there's 298 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.399 three or four bullshit episodes. And it's been that way 299 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.360 for three seasons, and it really you really felt that 300 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:04.080 in season three. Season two, other than the season of Ahsoka, 301 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.519 I thought was the strongest live action things Star Wars 302 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.600 has done. I gave it thirty four to thirty five. 303 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.279 You were in the thirty six thirty seven range. Season three, 304 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.960 I gave twenty four. You gave twenty nine that you 305 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.679 didn't care for that. Boba Fet I gave twenty one, 306 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.639 you gave twenty seven. 307 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:18.879 Did I give twenty seven? 308 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:19.159 Oh? 309 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.919 I did for the You want to know why I 310 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.919 really liked the Mandalorian episodes of those seasons of that season, Yeah. 311 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.039 For sure. 312 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.519 That's the only reason why that wasn't like a ten 313 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.519 for me was because of the Mandalorian influence. Obi Won 314 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.519 just fell so flat sixteen for me, twenty from you, 315 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.759 and that was literally just carried by two Darth Vader scenes. 316 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.960 That show fucking sucked. That to me, that was worse 317 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.480 than Boba fet because the little Leo just ruined everything. 318 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.799 And or of course we haven't seen Ahsoka. I gave 319 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.399 thirty seven, you gave thirty three to thirty four. So 320 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.799 with that context, like, it's really hard for me to 321 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.120 see why people hated on this show so much, considering 322 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.039 the other shows didn't get hate. 323 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.480 There was a lot of dig and discourse about it. 324 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.039 This show getting so much shape makes no sense because 325 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.840 to me, it's like, like this season is clearly like 326 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.360 the third best season they've done. 327 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.399 You might have it fourth or fifth, like, but not 328 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.240 at the bottom. 329 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.600 I have it in the window of just like it's 330 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.639 with everything else. And it's not the first two seasons 331 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.200 of The Mandalorian sure. 332 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.440 Yeah, same tire. It's just about everything else. So that's 333 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.960 why it blows my mind. It's gotten so much shape. 334 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.720 Next up live action, by the way, is the Skeleton 335 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.440 Crew that's coming at the beginning of December. 336 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.639 That'll be pretty interesting. 337 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.200 This show was created by Leslie Hedlund, who has an 338 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:40.320 extensive resume of directing a bunch of TV stuff. She 339 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.879 was also one of the creators and writers of Russian 340 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.799 Doll along with Natasha Leona and Amy Poehler. So that's 341 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:52.440 like a universally loved show. So you know, I didn't think, sorry, 342 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.559 I thought I was gonna sneeze. 343 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.080 I didn't think you used your force powers to hold 344 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:56.639 that sneeze in. 345 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.000 I didn't think writing was a serious issue here. 346 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.679 I thought like overarching stuff that she's probably not really 347 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.919 in control of was a bit of an issue. And 348 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.720 I also think the main actress was a little bit 349 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.399 of an issue, which we'll get to in a few 350 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.440 synopsis of this show, an investigation into a shocking crime 351 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.200 spree pits a respected Jedi master against a dangerous warrior 352 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.759 from his past. As more clues emerged. They traveled down 353 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.000 a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not 354 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.960 what it seems. This show stars a Mandla that's right, 355 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.840 Aia and d La Stenberg as Osha slash may On Asaya. 356 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.519 That sounds like an issue that you would have say 357 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.879 at a bar or a club, and the person's like, 358 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.840 my name is Amandla and you're like Amanda, And this 359 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.039 goes back and forth for roughly a half hour. 360 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:44.480 I will say. 361 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.919 About her, they asked her to do a lot, and 362 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.639 I don't think she was really capable of conveying what 363 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.519 they needed her too. 364 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.759 She was fine. 365 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.720 I just don't think she could convey the sinister or 366 00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.519 like mean parts well enough. 367 00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.600 It just didn't quite work. 368 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.120 Call what she did poorly a violation. 369 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:11.680 I don't know what you're referring to. Ohsha ah, I 370 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.160 hate you so much. I really don't like. 371 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.039 She was on the top rung of a ladder. You 372 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.599 can't do that. You gotta be on that second one. 373 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.720 Lead Jung Jay is master soul. He was awesome and 374 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.920 he also gw this is unbelievable. When he got this role, 375 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.200 he did not speak English. He had four months to 376 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.480 learn English before this show shot. So that's very impressive 377 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.160 that he had that dedication and where I thought it'd 378 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:37.119 even be able to do that. 379 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.559 I both found his character to be interesting and then 380 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.599 by the end boring. 381 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:43.240 I could see that. I think he did a great 382 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.079 job though, but I totally understand. 383 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.480 Just tell the story. 384 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.160 Many Jacinto as the Stranger aka Camie. 385 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.279 She would sit on her hand. 386 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.640 I thought he was. 387 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.440 The best part of the show, and honestly, what hurt 388 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.680 this show was not featuring him more. They he's the 389 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.240 most fantastic moment of the season. He's front and center, 390 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:09.000 and then he goes away essentially into the finale, and 391 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.359 that was that was a bummer. One of the big 392 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.359 players here is Rebecca Henderson as Vernic dea Rowe, who 393 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.160 is sort of sol She's like one of the head Jedi. 394 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.720 I guess I don't know what her what her title is, 395 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.759 but and what is she She's very green there green. 396 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.079 That's how you can tell who she is. She's the 397 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.960 green one. 398 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.359 Some other ones in here. 399 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:31.839 We had Charlie Bennett as your fand are Daphne Keen 400 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:36.359 as Jackie Lawn, Judas Suotamo as Master kel Naka. That 401 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.519
