Season five is just a few days away, so A.Ron and I are back to cover what we know about the new season, where we left the story last season, and all the news about the show that we missed during the hiatus. If you want to hear more about the shape our coverage will take this season, this is the episode for you. Join us for the run-up to season five of TV’s best sci-fi series!
Season four is in the bag, but we’re not exactly in the bag for season four. We join up with our listeners on this feedback-filled wrapup to hash out our feelings on this season of Fargo once and for all. We’ll be back if Fargo comes back for another season, and in the meantime maybe check out our Bald Move Prestige podcast for all the well-dressed, respectful content we produce, unlike that lowbrow stuff we get up to over in the Bald Move Pulp podcast!
This week on The Mandalorian there are several moments that Star Wars fans have been waiting decades for. You’ve probably already seen the episode but I won’t say too much, just in case. The stormtroopers might be dumb, but they’re also up against one of the best. Join us for our discussion of The Manadalorian.
The gang war has conclusively heated up in the season finale of Fargo. Find out who lived, who died, what it all meant and what we thought of this season in general. We’ll be back next week to wrap up the season and sign off for the year. See you then.
This might be the biggest episode yet of The Mandalorian. The Ahsoka episode that everyone has been waiting for is here. And not only that, but we also get some backstory on “Baby Yoda”. Next stop, Boba-town!

This week’s Off the Clock covers A.Ron’s rewatch of Avengers: Infinity War, as well as Netflix’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and Blake Crouch’s sci-fi book “Recursion.”
In this week’s episode of Fargo, the drug war is heating up… wait, I think I’ve said that before. In fact, it’s been heating up for at least half the season now. And while things have certainly progressed, with bodies in the streets and gang shootings in the papers, the ambition of this season’s storytelling make it somehow feel like the war is still simmering away on the back burner with just a single episode left. Join us for the podcast to get our full episode breakdown.
Oh, you were expecting Ahsoka to show up the episode after she’s name-dropped? That’s just too bad. We’ve still got secondary characters to service! Like Cara. What’s she been up to since Mando left? And Greefe? He definitely needs some screentime. Not to mention Boba Fett was shown two full episodes before Ahsoka’s name even hit a character’s lips. No friend, we’ve got a LONG way to go before the Ahsoka episode. In the meantime, we do get some solid action and speculation-fodder for Moff Gideon’s plans if he ever gets his hands on Baby Yoda.
Have you seen The Wizard of Oz? If so, you’ve already seen this episode of Fargo, or some dream-like version of it anyway. Join us for our discussion of the plot and thematic similarities between The Wizard of Oz and East / West, the future of Satchel and Rabbi, and all things Cohen as we go into the final two episodes of the season.
This week’s episode is on the shorter side and, while it’s not as entertaining as the previous two episodes of the season, pushes the plot forward with the discovery of a few new Mandalorians, as well as a big reveal about Mandalorian sub-cultures that kinda blew our minds. Join us on the podcast for the full discussion.
