Come with us on a journey to glimpse the elusive creature known as the “Boba Fett”. Together, we will take to the sands of Tatooine, venturing into its natural habitat to catch a sight more rare than a hope chest full of spice. Be sure to gaze upon it only briefly however, for the Boba Fett is a timid and skittish creature which can be easily startled, retreating back into its hiding hole.
We’re back for another quick update on House of the Dragon. There’s some minor casting news and A.Ron has some highlights from the early-goings of House of the Dragon to deliver.
Check out our Wall Street podcast! If you enjoy watching rich and powerful people con the less fortunate out of their cash and initiate young, hungry, impressionable kids into their cult-like business culture, you’ll love this week’s prestige podcast. We probably talk more about the state of the world than the actual movie but it just felt necessary.
Steve and Anthony cover “The Body” and puzzle over the Hawkins Labs “Build-a-Will” department. Then they revisit an old Stephen King favorite: Stand By Me (1986)
The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian marks a return to form, but we’re beginning to think that’s because The Mandalorian is the new “coolest character” in Star Wars, as Boba Fett is completely absent from his own show this week. We’re also treated to a hot rod that puts the modders mopeds to shame in an excellent cameo from the prequels.
Lunchtime! It’s a snow day today, which prompts us to talk about that most nostalgic of feelings when you know there’s the possibility of an unscheduled day off from school. Then we go deep into A.Ron’s chimney to talk about the woes of remodeling. Finally, it’s all topped off by listener questions.
We went into Killjoy nearly blind but podcast commissioner Doug assured us that it was bad enough to wrap back around to good. Turns out Doug was exactly right. The creators chose the homeopathic approach to budgeting, mixing no more than 1 part money to every 100 parts runtime. Despite that, we enjoyed our time with it. Join us for the podcast to find out exactly why.
What do you say about a movie that’s better the first time around but is a little confusing even on subsequent watches, requires multiple trigger warnings, and seems to want to end about 45 minutes before the runtime expires? Join us for our The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo podcast to find out.
This time we’re capping off Station Eleven with a talk about all 10 episodes before going into the surprise hit, Peacemaker, dipping a toe into The Righteous Gemstones, and revisiting Children of Time now that we’ve both finished it. Top all of that off with a scoop of Patron Topics and you’ve got an episode of Off the Clock.
