We have hit the halfway mark of season 1 of THE BAD BATCH, and it took no prisoners (har har). Crosshair is back on our screens, and he is on an Imperial mission to, ummmm, "take care" of his former squad. Tensions run HIGH this episode, PLUS we have a big deal guest star that made Collin fist pump. (Oh yeah, and he also yells about Rhen Var AGAIN.)

This week URP examines "THE BAD BATCH" Episode 7 entitled "Battle Scars". We have arrived at the midway point of season one, and it sure got tense as Wrecker's inhibitor chip finally becomes a very big problem for him and his friends. We also get a very exciting guest star in this episode, and we discuss a metaphorical moment which of course makes us happy. Plus, we perhaps uncover a subtle theme that evokes possible spirituality. Join us and let us know what you think!

Apologies that Collin has been lost in the Unknown Regions of final school projects for a few weeks, but we are back for a Death Star sized episode! We delve into episodes 4, 5 and 6 of "THE BAD BATCH", discuss how we think this show is hitting on almost all cylinders, explore the feminism of a show we had assumed would be all tough dude clones all the time, and attempt to keep to a time schedule...and fail.😂

Welp, "The Bad Batch" is really pulling no punches in Episode 3: Replacements, and we are basically loving it. We had a lot to say about Crosshair, his character arc, speculative redemption. We also discuss more on Omega, her new creature friend, her possible mysterious purpose, what we think her actions in this episode could mean to the larger story. And as always, Wrecker...please marry me.🙏

Who are our TBB biases? What do we think about Omega? (PS We have lots of thoughts about her.) Why are we SO EXCITED about Lama Su, Prime Minister of Kamino? When will Wrecker and I be wed? Join us!

Continuing our Star Wars/LOST comparison series, we're focusing on another major theme of both stories....REDEMPTION. SPOILER WARNING, please be aware we will be spoiling many, many aspects of LOST during this series!!!! As a returning special guest and LOST connoisseur, we are joined by my other offspring, DELANEY, who was eager to explore this theme! Who do we think are the major redemption arcs of both stories? How do the characters' redemption arcs mirror each other? How are they different? Which does it better, in our opinions? This was one of our favorite discussions, so we hope you enjoy!

WE ARE BACK and on an island far, far away! Apologies for the unplanned hiatus, but we are now here to make good on our threats of a series of episodes comparing Star Wars and LOST, the television series. We have long held that LOST and Star Wars are cut from the same cloth, so in Part 1 of this series we begin with a huge theme of both stories...THE BINARY, the Light and Dark, and the struggle to find the balance between them. WARNING! THERE WILL BE SPOILERS GALORE IN THIS SERIES, so we advise that you watch LOST before you join us for this comparison series. Otherwise...now boarding Flight 815 to the Unknown Regions!

URP's Clan of 2 here to dig into the penultimate episode of season 2, "The Mandalorian Chapter 15: The Believer"! Opinions on this episode are a little all over the place but that usually makes for the best discussions. Who IS the believer and what is it they are believing? Why do we need Mayfeld back (because honestly I really didn't think I did lol), and how amazing are his monologues? (Answer: VERY) What part of the episode made me grrrrr. What moment of PURE fan service made us cheer at 3:00 am? What does a Salvador Dali painting have to do with the Chop Fields? Will I ever stop seeing Greek letters symbolism in this show? What do we think will go down in the finale? Jump into our Juggernaut (but don't drive too fast) & find out!
