#71: The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 14 and 15 "Flash Strike" and "The Cavalry Has Arrived"
We finally arrived at the finale. Saying goodbye is never easy, but we're so happy we got to experience this beautiful show. It left a major impact on us.
And the finale was no exception. We shared our thoughts (and lots of tears) in this one.
Since we talked about the situation in Gaza and the atrocities millions of Palestinians, including children, are facing, we wanted to provide listeners with some ways to get active:
If you feel so inclined, we've been donating regularly to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, a non-profit with the mission of providing free medical care to thousands of injured and ill children. Head to www.pcrf.net to join us in donating and learn more.

Walloping Websnappers, listeners!
No, really. They're here! On this very special crossover episode, we were joined by our very good pals and hosts of Walloping Websnappers - Derek and Doug - to discuss...Spider-Woman!? That's right, Episode 12 of 1979's Spider-Woman, "Invasion of the Black Hole," pays direct homage to Star Wars: A New Hope!
Join us as we break down the episode and have an absolute blast celebrating May the 4th with our web-slinging pals!

#70: The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 12 and 13 "Juggernaut" and "Into the Breach"
This show CAN'T END! Don't let it end!
In this, our penultimate episode dedicated to The Bad Batch, we cover everything there is to cover about "Juggernaut," including our love/hate relationship with Rampart, gush over just how bad ass Omega is in "Into the Breach," and stress over the final moments as the boys make their way to Tantis.
Plus, we give our thoughts on two other AMAZING shows we've been obsessed with - the Fallout series and X-Men 97.

#69: The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 10 and 11 "Identity Crisis" and "Point of No Return"
11 episodes down and, unfortunately, only four to go.
"Identity Crisis" gave us the first episode of the season - possibly the entire series - that doesn't feature any member of The Batch. And what an incredible episode it was as Emrie finds herself as the head of Project Necromancer.
"Point of No Return" saw CX-2 finally arrive on Pabu, decimating The Batch in a surprise attack (RIP Marauder).
In a word, we're both pretty numb (and honestly, in awe because these episodes were stellar). We cover everything there is to cover with these two episodes including our theories for what's to come.

#68: GalaxyCon Richmond + The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 8 and 9 "Bad Territory" and "The Harbinger"
Swamp monsters, the return of TWO beloved characters, and we finally have an answer to the question, "Is Omega Force-sensitive?"
...well, sort of. We give our thoughts on "Bad Territory" and "The Harbinger," talk about our hope for an Asajj Ventress animated series (Disney, please!), and continue to gush over the wonderful gift we've been given with this final season.
Plus - we talk about our time at GalaxyCon Richmond and cover some juicy news dropped by Ashley Eckstein!

#67: The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 6 and 7 "Infiltration" and "Extraction"
This season of The Bad Batch feels like a SPRINT and not a marathon, 'cause boy we're getting a LOT of episodes to talk about in a short period of time!
This past week saw a double-feature with two episodes releasing on March 13th. We talked the double release as well as all the juicy, Clone-heavy goodness "Infiltration" and "Extraction" had to offer!

#66: The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 4 and 5: "A Different Approach" and "The Return"
Cass and Tommy discuss all the beautiful themes this season is setting up for us. Crosshair and Omega have to find some common ground (or just...cause a ton of havoc!) in "A Different Approach."
And Crosshair has to deal with what was left buried on Barton IV in "The Return," a beautiful follow-up (of sorts) to Season 2's "The Outpost."
Get your "tearing up" counters ready, cause we have a feeling it's only going to get worse from here!

#64: The Bad Batch - Season 3, Episodes 1-3: "Confined," "Paths Unknown," and "Shadows of Tantiss"
The boys are back in town...for one final ride. The bittersweet, three-episode premiere pulled no punches, and we absolutely loved every second of it.
"Confined," "Paths Unknown," and "Shadow of Tantiss" gave us some of the darkest, and most somber episodes of the entire series. We don't know where this season will take us, but you know we're along for the ride.

It's time. We HAVE to go back. So we're going on a quick journey to talk about the ORIGINS of Star Wars' Clone Wars (in animation).
Part 1 is an indepth discussion of the 2008 blockbuster (?) film Star Wars: The Clone Wars with our pal, host of Are You My Mother? and Co-Host of Gimmicks pod, David Arnold! The movie...might not have aged the best, but we had a blast talking about it and all the behind-the-scenes goodness.

#59: The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special (This is how we Life Day)
We took a break from our first love, the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, to see what the newest holiday special stacks up (sorry). This cute, Lego filled adventure taught us so much about the meaning behind master and apprentice languages, and took really strange choices, like not letting Threepio speak until the end?
While not perfect, the special is great fun, and we hope you'll have a blast celebrating Life Day along with us!

Continuing our end-of-the-year detour IGNORING every Star Wars TV series ever made, we got together with our good pal and Daddy of DnD (to us, at least), Harrison, to make character sheets for some of our favorite Star Wars characters!
...in other words we got loopy and talked DnD for 2 hours.

Ready to get SCARY!? On this very special episode, we're talking all things Darth Maul, everyone's favorite Sith Lord turned crazed spider-mech, turned agent of chaos.
We're also diving into NIGHTSISTER lore - canon, legends, and everything in between. (Looking at you, Charal!)
Come celebrate Mauloween with us!

#53: Ahsoka - "Shadow Warrior" and "Far, Far Away" (This is the Clone Wars!)
Ahsoka continues to impress us with episodes 5 and 6. "Shadow Warrior" was an experience unlike anything we've seen in live-action Star Wars TV to date. And "Far, Far Away" gave us some of the moments we've been waiting for - the return of Thrawn and Ezra - and then some.

#49: The Clone Wars - The Finale (The Summer of 'Soka!)
Happy whatever day you're listening to this episode; we hope you're ready to be extremely sad and relive (in our opinion) some of the best Star Wars media, period.
That's right. We're doing it. We're covering the 4-part series finale of The Clone Wars—"Old Friends Not Forgotten," "Phantom Apprentice," "Shattered," and "Victory and Death." This arc is so pivotal in Ahsoka's character development, and is required re-watching as we prep for her series. Join us!

#47: Star Wars Visions, Volume 2 - "The Bandits of Golak" and "The Pit" (feat. Stik Braxton!)
We've reached the end of our journey covering Visions Volume 2 and boy did we pick a doozy to go out on. We're joined by the endlessly creative and talented Stik Braxton to discuss Episode 7 "The Bandits of Golak" and Episode 8 "The Pit."
We also talk to Stik about some of his creative endeavors, including his incredible collection of poems inspired by his (and our) favorite anime of all time - "Easy Come, Easy Go: A Poetic Companion to Cowboy Bebop"

We're BACK! And more importantly, Star Wars Visions is back with Volume 2! We're kicking things off by discussing the absolutely delightful "Sith" by El Guiri Studios. Written and directed by Rodrigo Blaas (Trollhunters, Ozi - Voice of the Forest), "Sith" explores the Force and confronting your past through passion, painting, and abstract art. In a word, it's wonderful. We hope you'll listen in.

And speaking of rankings, we both pick our top 3 favorite episodes and talk about the series overall. It's safe to say we're both fans!

(Reupload) #4 - Star Wars Visions - The Twins/The Village Bride
We're continuing to revisit our deep dives into Star Wars: Visions, and this week's reupload includes an appearance by a very special guest - co-host of the TooTallBoyz Podcast and host of the Clueless Vino Podcast, author, anime expert, and our friend - Stik Braxton! Since the episode aired, Stik has released Easy Come, Easy Go: A Poetic Companion to Cowboy Bebop. If you're a fan of anime, you'll want to check it out!
The Twins uses incredibly stylized animation to turn a few familiar Star Wars tropes on their heads. And The Village Bride gives us one of the most unique settings and some of the most memorable moments of the series so far. (Exploding trashcan helmets, anyone?). We really hope you enjoy our conversation!

(Reupload) #3 - Star Wars Visions - The Duel/Tatooine Rhapsody
We're taking a quick hiatus (the Season 2 finale of The Bad Batch did us in...) but we'll be back in May to talk #StarWarsVisions Season 2. In the meantime, enjoy a stroll down memory lane with a look back at Season 1!
In this episode, we dive into The Duel, a unique and inspired look at a familiar Star Wars storyline - a Force user abandoning their Order and doing what needs to be done.
We also talk Episode 2: Tatooine Rhapsody, which follows the galaxy's first pop-punk band!
(Also - there's a bit of audio weirdness in this episode. It was our 3rd episode ever, sorry! We've gotten it corrected and sound
sultry and smooth
now!)

#42 - "The Bad Batch - Season 2, Episode 15-16" (A Somber Finale)
What's this? An off-schedule episode drop!? When have we ever followed orders...
Season 2 is done. We're devastated. We couldn't wait to talk about it any longer. "The Summit" and "Plan 99" gave us a gripping, anxiety-inducing, beautifully tragic finale. We have a lot of thoughts -- and even more feelings -- about what happened and the potential direction for The Batch in the future. Listen in.

Here we are, the last two episodes before the two-parter finale! It all happened so fast. First we travel to "Pabu" in Episode 14, a Zanarkand-from-Final Fantasy X-eqsue island with an even more Zanarkard-esque climax. Then, in Episode 15, we reach the "Tipping Point," where we discuss the fascinating imagery parallels between the entire Bad Batch Second Season and the Original Trilogy.

#40 - "The Bad Batch - Season 2, Episodes 11-12" (Deep Dark Dead Space)
We're swiftly approaching the end of Season 2 of the Bad Batch! That means the show is pulling out all the stops, including bringing back the Kaiju-esque Zillo Beast from "The Clone Wars" in "Metamorphosis." Then, "The Outpost" puts Crosshair through a harrowing journey only to have him come out on the other side at his lowest point with a chance at redemption. It's one of the best episodes of the series and is truly a masterclass in Star Wars storytelling.

"The Crossing" finds the Batch crossing into a new era without the aid of Echo in an emotionally driven episode. The episode gives us really fantastic and important representation, and it's, once again, some of the best The Bad Batch has to offer. Then, it's...space Oliver Twist in "Retrieval"!

The Batch botch a mission (again!) and end up helping a familiar, furry Jedi in "Tribe." Then, we we're pleasantly surprised with a 2-episode drop this past week! "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences" give us a crash-course in space politics as Rampart, Mas Amedda, and Emperor Palpatine employ every unsavory method they can to ensure the passage of the Imperial Defense Recruitment Bill - which ultimately will give rise to the Galactic Stormtrooper program. All in all, three incredibly satisfying episodes!

What is a filler episode? Your hosts Cass and Tommy dive deep into their thoughts on that topic, whether or not the majority of what we've gotten from Bad Batch season 2 is filler, and whether any of that even matters. Then we discuss two fun, adventure-of-the-week style episodes that, we feel, offers a lot more than just padding out the time.

Season 2 of The Bad Batch is nearly here! So we decided to jump into hyperspace and cruise through the final four episodes of Season 1 - "Infested," "War-Mantle," "Return to Kamino," and "Kamino Lost." These four episodes feature everything you could want, including new threats, returning friends, and an entire planet ravaged by the empire. Be sure to listen before Season 2 drops on 1/4!
(*Minor correction. In this episode, we incorrectly say Nathaniel Villanueva directed "Return to Kamino" and "Kamino Lost." Villanueva directed "Return," but Saul Ruiz directed "Kamino Lost." Apologies!)

Cue Thin Lizzy cause the boys are back in town! We've returned to The Bad Batch Season 1 and we're discussing three episodes that all highlight just how life is changing under the newly formed Galactic Empire. Episode 10, "Common Ground," takes us to Raxus where the Batch must put aside their differences and rescue a Separatist senator. Episodes 11 and 12, "Devil's Deal" and "Rescue on Ryloth," take us back to the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth as rebellion against the Empire begins to stir. It also features two very familiar (and very beloved) faces - Hera Syndulla and Chopper!

We're packing up shop and closing out our discussion of Tales of the Jedi with Episodes 5 & 6 - "Practice Makes Perfect" and "Resolve." We're treated to two Ahsoka-centric episodes to close out the series, and boy do they pack a punch. "Practice Makes Perfect" gives additional depth to one of the most pivotal moments of The Clone Wars and explores Anakin and Ahsoka's relationship. "Resolve" follows Ahsoka after the events of Order 66, leading to her joining the resistance. It also recontextualizes many details from the E.K. Johnston novel "Ahsoka," which we discuss at length.
As a bonus, we also discuss the ADORABLE short "Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies" from Studio Ghibli.

#31 - "Tales of the Jedi - Episodes 1 & 2" (Baby Ahsoka...and JUSTICE!)
Tales of the Jedi is a brand-new, Republic Era animated series -- from none other than Dave Filoni -- bringing us short stories about some fan-favorite Jedi. And we couldn't be more excited to dig into the first two episodes, "Life and Death" and "Justice."
"Life and Death" gives us a glimpse of Ahsoka as baby, her mother, and the tribe where she was born. "Justice" shows us the relationship between Dooku, his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn, and the Jedi's introductory steps towards the Dark Side.
