In the airlock, 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.319 we talked the Book of Boba Fett finale, ride that 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.840 rank or baby un nerd out.

It's nice to have moved from mythological status 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:41.800 to real life status. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.480 Yeah, Rosie, how are you? 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.720 First of all, Yeah, I'm doing okay, still twenty twenty two, 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.200 but we're living and there was so much news before 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.640 we started recording. It's like God, we were like, oh, yeah, 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.680 we know what we're covering today. It's gonna talk about 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.120 Boba fet. I'm gonna say some things might happen. It's 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.800 like everything is happening. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:06.040 Let's talk news. First of all, The Lord of the 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.120 Rings first look Peace dropped on Vanity Fair with a 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:15.480 byline from Anthony Brizikin and Joanna Robinson. We get a 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.560 look at the actors who are playing the various characters. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.720 We'll have more to say about this after the trailer 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.000 drops during the super Bowl, but any initial reactions, Rosy, 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:24.480 I think. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.760 It continues to prove what we thought Amazon was trying 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.160 to prove, which is like craft and texture and practicality. 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.239 It looks really good and it looks really real that 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.800 a lot of what they shared was costume focused, practical focused, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.240 smartet focused, and yeah, it looks really good. And I 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.240 think it's like people are going to be stoked that 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.200 Gladriel's really there played by who they thought it was 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.680 going to be played by, and kind of this is 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.880 our first look at proper characters and kind of how 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.280 they look in the world, and I think it looks 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:58.840 really cool. I'm stoked to see the trailer. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.680 Some of the include Owayne Arthur as Prince during the 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.720 fourth the elf Arndier played by Ismail Cruz Cordova, of course, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.840 Gladriel Elrond played by Robert Arameo, and more. I think 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.200 it's very smart to show how much of the craft 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.640 is front and center in this show, because there's no 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.640 shortage of sci fi slash comics slash fantasy adaptions that 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.200 have been sunk because the wigs look bad. You know, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.560 the wigs just look cheap, and that is not the 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.240 case with this. Everything looks really real and lived in 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.720 and I can't wait to see the trailer. Speaking of 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.400 Super Bowl trailers, some rumors for trailers that might drop 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.960 during the Super Bowl. Now, Jurassic World Dominion drop today, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:52.320 so that's out. We've got dinosaurs like in the American West. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:57.760 It is Yellowstone meets dinosaurs, Yeah, and meets a surprise 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.720 like cloning plot. I don't care. I'm in me too. 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:06.040 Chris Pratt's like riding a motorcycle through Italy being chased 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.640 by raptors, and then Laura Dunn is there looking really cool, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:10.320 and Sam. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.280 Neil's there looking really back together again. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.040 Yeah, who knows. I hope that finally we'll get to 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.240 see a romantic connection. I love those two, probably one 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.040 of my original childhood ships. But yeah, it looks absolutely 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.560 bonkers and I will be watching it. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.680 I also love the fact that it's like Chris Pratt's 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.960 character has smuggled his hit Raptor Blue like out of 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.920 the island and it is just like raising it. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.120 Yeah, and his clone adopted daughter his boiler alert. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.240 This is I'm excited. It's gonna be wild. I love 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.000 Jurassic World. I love all the Jurassics. I just like 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:51.120 dinosaurs stopping around, incredible music. It's got it all, so okay. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.200 Unconfirmed trailers for the Super Bowl, Uh, Doctor Strange in 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.920 the Multiverse of manas you think we'll see it? 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.880 It would make sense. I mean, the movie comes out pretty. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.839 Soon May sixth A Disney sizzle reel for their upcoming 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.120 Disney Plue shows, which would include some Moon Night stuff, 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.839 some Obi Wan Kenobi stuff, She Hulk, Miss Marvel, and 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.080 possibly more. I would not be surprised to see that, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.040 and possibly might we see for the Sonic fans out 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.800 there Sonic the Hedgehog two, the first trailer was released 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.719 in December, but could there be another one? 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.440 They've had some TV spots recently, like I saw one yesterday, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.120 so like, I feel like Sonic's already out there, but 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.800 I do feel like people want to see more of 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.160 Idris Alba dress Alber's knuckles, so I'm sure that people 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:35.960 will want to see that. Will it be a super 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.000 book trailer? I don't know. This year is so weird. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.080 I'm just like weird. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.680 Maybe maybe that will be the big superhero trailer. Donut 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.080 King and Sonic back again. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.159 Let's talk about Kenoby. We got a poster and a 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.400 release date and a short plot synopsis for Kenobi. A 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.960 snopsis follows. The story begins ten years after the dramatic 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.760 events of Star Wars Revenger of the Sith, where Obi 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.600 Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat, the downfall corruption of 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.799 his best friend and Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker who turned 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.040 to the dark side as the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:12.320 Spoiler for everybody who's not seen the Original Children. That 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.000 show will release on May twenty fifth. I'm extremely excited 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.279 for it. The poster looks intriguing. I would not be 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.360 surprised if a bunch of the kind of dangling ends 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:28.080 from Book of Boba Fett are picked up in this show, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.120 which of course doesn't match up timeline wise. But there's 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.160 certain things about tattooine, etc. Like references that didn't get 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.159 answered in the Book of Bovette that I think. I 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.359 wonder if we will get answers to those things in 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:39.760 this show. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.120 They're definitely they're definitely in the space of trying to 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.680 make everything really interconnected. So I think that's a really 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.800 good call. Also, I think if anyone wants to do 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.000 some pre reading, I know that we like to do 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.159 that here. So there's this comic series called from the 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.400 Journals of Obi Wan Kenobi, and they have it as 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:58.919 a trade. You can get it on Comicsology, you can 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.320 get it from your local comic shop. And the costume 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.800 he has here with the big hood over his head 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.159 and everything it's really evocative of that series, and that 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.200 series is kind of him in the desert, just like 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.960 having some adventures helping people out. So I think that 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.160 could kind of be at least an aesthetic inspiration, even 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.560 if it's not a literal narrative one. So I think 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.440 it's gonna be really exciting. I love you and McGregor. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.320 I love Benny Saftie, who for some reasons in this 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.720 movie so like in this show. So I'm just like 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.720 so ready to that. I know, unbelievable, unbelievable good time 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:29.840 to Obi Wan Kenobi. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.720 I mean, like when we haven't even like Hayden Christensen 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.600 returning as Anakin Skywalker slash Darth Vader. Just I think 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:43.360 belly Bavia Kumail does he get the shirtless like moment 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.040 in this do we get to see the rippling muscles? 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.960 One of my favorites in Dear Varma, she's so good 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.400 from Game of Thrones, from Rome, from many other things, 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.520 one of my very very favorites. Uh, super super excited 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.160 for this. Next up, Futurama returns on Hulu after runs 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.400 on Fox, reruns on Adult Swim, and a short revival 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.360 at Comedy Central. Futurama the creation of Mac Groning and 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.440 David X. Coullen will return on Hulu for a twenty 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.960 episode run for Beering in twenty twenty three. This is 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.480 important for many reasons, One because Futurama is hilarious, and 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.560 two because our sometime co host Cody zig Ziggler book 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:28.200 is on the writing seven of the show. And then finally, Rosie, 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:29.800 what have you been reading? What have you been up 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.280 to any rex for the people before we move on 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.040 to the discussion. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.160 Yes, I have been reading this book that was on 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.440 my libray'es hold list for a really long time since 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.120 it came out, called Devil House by John Darneil, and 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.520 it is so good. It's like really scary. It's about 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.079 a true crime author who moves into a house that 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.800 where a murder purportedly took place. But it's it's not 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:54.640 every time you think you know what the book is, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.559 you don't. It's like an excavation of true crime culture. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.600 It's an excavation of family seek. It's like it's really meta, 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.959 but it's really engaging, and it looks and feels like 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.400 a classic kind of seventies horror novel, but it's just 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.360 so great, Like I actually had a different book I 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.199 was going to wreck, but I started reading this and 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.160 I was just like, everyone needs to read this. It's 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.160 so gripping and immersive and spooky and very timely with 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.040 all the way that true crime kind of permeates our culture. Now, 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:23.679 what about you. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.599 I'm going to put that on my list after I 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:31.240 finish Andy Weer's Tail Mary, which for anybody that like 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.760 the Martian Andy Where is back in the Martian mode, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.960 which is like super brilliant scientist is like wow, science 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.520 while dead people are like all around him, and he's 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.400 fine with it because the science is amazing, which is 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.640 exactly what I want from Andywhere. I just finished The 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.240 Absolute Book by Elizabeth Knox. Elizabeth Knox is a New 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:56.079 Zealand author who worked mainly in fantasy and YA and 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:01.480 The Absolute Book is like just an incredible blend of 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:07.920 various mythologies and influences. It's a fantasy novel with aspects 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.520 of like true crime, much like you were talking about. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.719 There's a murder that sets the ball rolling. There is 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:21.480 Norse mythology, there's Irish mythology, all blends together in this 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.599 really unique world and take on the fantasy genre with 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.720 undercurrents of like climate change and the state of our 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.439 cultural politics. It's really cool and really well done with 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:39.199 like the opening of it is really propulsive, and a 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.400 book that I was not sure where it was going 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.040 to go at any given time. I really enjoyed it. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.160 It's long, be warned, it's like seven hundred pages, folks, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.959 but it was really good. If you're looking for a 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.880 fantasy novel, the absolute book, it's good. Also. I went 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.319 to with our good friend Malory Rubin. I went to 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.280 this rare book fair and Pasadena and picked up a 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:02.160 first edition Symaranian no Bucks first like seventy bucks. It 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.240 was great. Saw a lot of cool other books like 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:10.600 all these like super cool like astonishing science, old pulps 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.920 and stuff signed by Ray Bradbury, a lot of stuff 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.439 that was just like way too expensive to buy. But 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.319 here's the thing about rare books. The wild stuff is 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.400 like way too expensive, But why isn't it more expensive? 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.280 They had like a first folio Shakespeare from sixteen eighty 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.640 that was like seventy five thousand dollars, Like why is 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.959 that not like five million dollars? I don't understand, But 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.079 that's absolutely fine. They had like a first edition Emma 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.120 by Jane Austen. That was you know, that's like from 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.760 what eighteen fifteen, which was like super expensive also but 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.160 also like not crazy, like like if I was a 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.080 rich guy, I think i'd buy it. It was really 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.600 fun and it was great to hang out. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:51.000 Up. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:12:08.640 Next, let's talk Book a Boba Fette finale. All right, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.400 folks were stepping out of the airlock to dive into 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.520 the finale of the Book of Boba fet titled In 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.079 the Name of Honor, written by Jon Favreau, directed by 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.960 Robert Rodriguez. Let's get into the recap. We open up 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.120 with Boba and Fennick Shand in the ruins of Garca 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:31.240 Flips Sanctuary Cantina Bells. I guess for a Garca Flip, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.400 I was holding out hope that maybe she survived, that 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.720 Max Rebo survived, that the other members of the bands 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.319 were but I think everybody might have bought it. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.040 I'm still saying that Max Rebo was on his day off. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.520 I will not accept it, but I do feel like 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:54.199 they've basically returned Max Rebo to his like pre New 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.800 era or continuity where it was like we didn't know 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.920 what was Did he survive the Bodge did you know? 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.480 So I'm taking that doing this, but in my hypecanon, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.880 he is definitely still alive. I will not. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.240 I mean, my guy survived the bar, so he has 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.360 survived worse. I hope that he's still out there. Tentative 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.280 bells for Garca whip. Yeah, I'm hoping Max made it. 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.640 Fet worried about the war that is to come, the 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.800 war with the Pikes. It is here. Fet worries that 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.360 the cost of this war is going to fall hardest 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.079 of the citizens of moss Espa. Mando arrives and is like, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:34.360 good news, folks, Cob Vanph remember him, and the people 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:39.400 of Freetown. They're calling it Freetown now, okay, it's no 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.480 longer the moss Pelgos Terrictory is. This is Freetown. Now, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.880 are coming to our aid there joining the fight, folks. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.400 It's good news now. Of course, Mando does not know 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:57.400 that cad Bane wounded, slash killed Cob vmph and certainly 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:02.200 murdered the Cobb's young deputy just your moments after Dynn left, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.640 Cop Vance and Vant and his people will do the 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.000 job for free. Mando says, it's kind of free. It's 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.319 free in terms of money, but Boba needs to let 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.840 the people of Freetown shut down the spice straight. That's 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.560 the deal. Shand is like, I don't know. That's like 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.360 a lot of money, and Boba's like, don't worry about it. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.600 In the I know we're going to take an economic 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.640 hit because all of my illegal activity finances are based 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.040 on this, or at least some large amount. But it'll 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.720 work out in the long run. We don't know how, 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.200 but Boba seems confident that it will work out in 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:41.200 the long run. But still, even with Chrysanton, with the Mods, 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.320 with Finek at his side, Boba's side is outnumbered. They're outnumbered. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.640 Boba wants to wait out Van's arrival at Joba's palace, 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.800 where you know it's more defensible there. But then scat 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.720 and trash of the Mods are like, okay, coward, go 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.800 hide and you mention away from the people. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.920 A solidarity with our proletariat brothers demands that we not 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.680 retreat one step from the ruins of moss Espa's premier 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.200 nightclub sanctuary. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.200 So Boba's like, okay, fine, well we'll meet the foe here. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:15.520 Now. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.640 This is a terrible idea, terrible, terrible so the ideas 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.040 we're concerned about the citizens of moss Espa, so understanding 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.360 that Boba is the target of this fight, we should 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.320 remain here amongst the people of Mosesba so that the 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.360 battle is closest to the people we are trying to protect. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.160 Drash I don't think it's a good idea, but you're young, 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.240 and you got that fire and you care about the people, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.920 so like, let's go with it and just see where 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:44.760 the chips fall. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.760 I feel like Boba's going to stop taking as much 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.480 advice from teenagers. And I actually love I love the. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.960 Mod squad, I love the cool I do love them. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.800 We had like that's the cyberpunk stuff that we never 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.080 get to see, where people make those choices and that 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.880 makes their lives and those are like cool additions to 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.800 their bodies and the way that they live their life. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.480 So I love that aspect. But also I'm like, Boba, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.360 you could have just gone somewhere far away and made 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.800 cat Baane meet you there, so that Mosski would have 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.360 been like, Okay, as we see, this plan does go 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.440 terribly wrong, it goes very. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.560 Very sideways, but nobody ever really presses Boba on it. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.680 Later anyway, That night, cad Bane is stalking the streets 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.920 of moss Isley. He arrives at the Pike's headquarters. The 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.760 mayor is there, The mayor of moss Espa is there 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:36.200 talking with the Pike Captain. Cad reports that Free doown 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.080 will stay neutral, they'll stay out of it, and the 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.880 mayor worries that what about does Fet have any other allies? 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.640 What about the Tuscans? Where when he was with the 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.240 Tuscans for a while. Pike Captain says, Aha, guess what, 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.560 They're all dead and we kill them and Boba Fett 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.520 thinks the NCTO rators did it, and Boba committed genocide 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.800 against the NICKTO rators. So that is I completely that 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.560 that contract has closed. That is completely shut down. Don't 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.399 worry about it, Boba, We'll never find out. And all 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.960 of that is tied up with a bow. The mayor 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.480 objects to the bombing of garcif whips. The mayor is like, listen, 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.000 what am I gonna be mayor of if you guys 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.159 look just completely destroyed the city, So please stop doing that. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.440 This is obviously problems since Fet and company are holed 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.560 up in the ruins of Sanctuary and kad says. Cadman says, well, well, 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.240 hold on, I think I know how I can get 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.240 fet out into the open. And to be fair, it's 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.320 not even like a secret plan. It's literally just like 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.879 a walk up and like say some stuff. Anyway, and 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:45.840 most icley, it's nighttime and x Wing lands at Pelimoto's garage. 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.240 Pelly and her droids leap to attention. They're thinking the 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.480 New Republic POPO were here to raid the joint and 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.960 check their certificates and see if they have the correct documentation. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.919 But it's actually a Grogu and are two d at 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.879 the wheel of this ship? No cops. Pelly tells R 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.600 Two that Mando is in mos Espa, and then she 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:11.119 feeds Grogu a massive tray of eels. Grog Who's hungry. 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.560 Grogu's hungry boy and also good. I'm pretty sure this 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.080 is like such a weird, silly strig. But I'm pretty 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.000 sure this is like an episode one video game Eastrig 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.440 where I think there's dung worms and she says they're 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.680 dung worms or something like that. I'm sure one of 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.360 our listeners can get me right, but I'm pretty sure 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.840 that it's a it's a really one of those one 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.440 of those things that we've said we liked about this 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.080 show where they're constantly bringing in weird little bits of cannon. So, yes, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.040 the baby eats some more gross food. This time they 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.000 are eli worms. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.080 He said, it's just very very hungry growing boy. Back 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:49.320 in moss Espa, Fennick briefs the leadership. This is a weird, 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.880 very tell don't show scene in which Fennick lays out 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:59.920 there really not great plan, but again we're going with it. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.600 This is democracy in action. So the rest of the gangs, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:07.440 the Trandoshans, the Aquaalish Plutonians are going to honor their 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.480 packed with fet and stay on the sidelines. Shan says, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.240 very unconvincingly, the Gomorians are going to go patrol the 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.960 spaceport with like two butcher knives. Chris Hinted is at 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:24.159 city Hall by himself, and the Mods are gonna be 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.680 with their comrades in the workers district. Everyone is keeping 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:32.280 an eye out for the Pikes, and I say that 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.360 with not meaning to take a shot at scad as 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.440 you see. Fenix says, all our flanks are covered, no 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.000 one is sneaking up on us. Okay, not the case 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:46.960 that's whatever, right. Once Cobb Vant and the Freetown people arrive, 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.360 you know, FET will have the numbers and then they'll 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.720 be okay. And then Matt Berry, the voice of eight 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:57.919 D eight announces in that beautiful, beautiful, silky thick baritone 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.560 that someone is here to speak to and it is 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.320 cad Bane. Of course, Fet and Bane have a long history, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.000 and we get we get that wonderfully played out here. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.600 I thought in one of yeah, anytime Cad Bane is 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.320 on the screen and talking to Boba Fet, it is like, wow, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.840 this is great that we're seeing this. Fet gives Cad 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.960 a version of Leah's I thought, I smelled that foul 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.520 your foul stench kind of line. Bain is like, listen, 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.720 I'm here on behalf of the of the pikes. We 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:29.520 would like to negotiate your surrender. Bobasa is like, no, no, dice, 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.560 you got to clear out, and Cad is like, oh, well, 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:36.000 guess what. Cob Vance is dead and his people aren't coming. 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.200 You should never have left him without his armor. And 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.680 then Kad's backup appears on the parapets and it's clear 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:47.080 that all of a sudden, Boba is heavily outnumbered with 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:51.400 no chance of reinforcements, and Cad gives Boba one last 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:56.080 opportunity let the spice flow, as in Frank Herbert's Dune 0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:00.240 or else. Boba says, no, he's not going to talk 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.120 to the help. He's not gonna talk to Cad Bane, 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:03.960 who's just like a hired gun. He wants to talk 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:05.640 to the Pikes. He wants to talk to the Pike 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.800 syndicate leadership, and that's it. Cad then drops that, guess what, 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:10.320 you want to talk to the Pikes. They're the people 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.120 who killed your Tuscan family. What now? But you didn't 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.760 know that? And this is like a fun callback to 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.480 yet again, a moment from a New Hope in which 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.119 an in is So party is framed for the murder 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.760 of an indigenous tattooing tribe. Boba just knows deep in 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.280 his bones that this is true what Cad is telling him, 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.720 and so Kad says, like, why don't we just duel 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.800 over it. Boba is like, I can take you. He can't, 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.359 He definitely can't. Fennick shand has to come out and 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.160 talk Boba down. Bain is like, you're soft now, you cowered, 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.879 and then he walks away right then Drash Radio is 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.080 in to say something in the Worker's part in the 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.879 Worker's Quarter feels really really weird. And then boom a 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:58.440 massive ambush that is happening all across town. The Aqualish 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.520 Gangs of the Quarter ambush the Mouds, the Transdosians and 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.359 Bush Chrysantan, which you know really pisses him off, and 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.800 the Clatonians attack the Gomorians. Let me just say this 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.040 about the way Boba and his team outfitted the Gomorians. 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.240 The Gomorians die here spoiler bells for the Gmorian guards. 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.920 They get pushed over a fucking cliff. It is so 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.600 hot breaking and horrible, heartbreaking. 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:26.120 It just happens. It's just like pow, You're dead. 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:32.000 The squeal, like the squeal as they fall is terrible. Boba, 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.920 you have your two guards who are incredibly loyal to you. 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.119 You spared their lives, and they are just down for you. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.639 They'll do They put themselves in massive danger many times 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.840 over the course of the series. They don't have armor. 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.159 They're out there with no shirts on, in shorts, with 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.400 no shoes, and all you give them is like kind 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:57.840 of big steak knives. In a world in which blasters 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:04.200 and like various grenades and laser beams are possible, and 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:09.040
