    YOU ANSWER TO ME B-TCH TITLE CARD HERE

    In Episode 154, hosts Alyce and Laura have* the Mandalorian and Grogu and Maul. That’s it. That’s the episode.

    JK there are a few other things:

    • The final trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu! (YouTube)
    • If you don’t want to watch the full 37-min video of Jon Favreau’s appearance at CinemaCon, SWNN has a good breakdown here.
    • Are you going to the May The Fourth preview screenings of Mando/Grogu? If so, you’re lucky because tickets went fast!
    • If you’re into model making, Phil Tippett’s creature shop, film effects and/or Star Wars ships, you’ll probably enjoy this behind the scenes look at The Mandalorian and Grogu film with Adam Savage and Jon Favreau.
    • Grain of Salt: there’s a rumor swirling about a new 2D animated Star Wars series
    • From “This is the Way” to “Have It Your Way”! Burger King’s got The Mandalorian and Grogu stuff for kids and adults.
    • Millennium Falcon meets Mando? Smuggler’s Run is going to somehow incorporate The Mandalorian and Grogu? We don’t get it, so hopefully more to come? (via SWNN)
    • BooshkeeDO you even have an elbow?
    • Recap on Tap - with SPOILERS! Maul - Shadow Lord episodes 3-6 features the galaxy’s Ugliest Lieutenant, Rook harshing on Maul’s vibe at every turn, Looti Tooti, The Fart before he became a fart (presumably) and Two Boots providing no reassurance whatsoever in any situation
    • Laura gets mad - no, stays mad - at how expensive things are
    • Come for Happy Hour, stay for Alyce’s young Boba Fett impression

    Apropos of Nothing:

    • The phone strap Alyce asked about isn’t available anymore, but this is kind of similar

    Ep 153: Maul About It

Laura whips out the good sh-t for Happy HourWe made a Sally Ride error and every woman in STEM that left an indelible mark on the world rolled over in their grave… including Sally Ride, probably. The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming out in May, a few weeks after May the Fourth. You’d think that would be a good marketing tie in, yeah?

Maul - Shadow Lord is getting a second season. Plus, Filoni talks Maul with Esquire.

    In Episode 152, hosts Alyce and Laura learn* valuable lessons about 90s Nickelodeon theme songs and where the f-ck Tosche Station is!

    • If there is one thing you take away from this podcast, it’s that you are supposed to watch all 39 hours of Daredevil before you watch Born Again.
    • Will Alyce’s prediction/dream that Taylor Swift be cast as the voice of Grogu ever come true? Here’s an update… (Gizmodo via Variety)
    • Remember in our last episode when we asked, hey whatever happened to that one trilogy? From our lips to Penguin Random House’s ears. Check out this article and the official synopsis for Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss here.
    • What TIME is it? Show time (show time), show time (show time)! Thanks, 2016 Bruno Mars. Speaking of time, they make mid-bougie Mando watches for men and not women.
    • Some poor schmuck had to drill a bar into the deepest depths of the earth for our boy Adam Driver (via SWNN)
    • Usually we regret asking for a man to mansplain something to us, but we kinda needed someone to explain Smart Bricks to us. Fortunately GamingBible was on it.
    • Star Wars dropped the episode titles for Maul, but they did it on icky twitter, so here’s a link to Star Wars News Net instead. You’re welcome.
    • Out with the new, in the with old trilogy: Disneyland’s Oga’s gets a refresh (via WDW News Today)
