Rebels and Robots and Etc.

brought to you by corporate mandate and artistic apathy (both the movie and the podcast)

King Ghidorah, if you can hear me, PLEASE k*ll them.

The book club returns for yet another riveting pop-sci-fi novel with a big budget adaptation. We're are also forced back into the dredges of creatures, adultery, and crap streaming nonsense.

Highlights from 2025 reviews of Andor, the Jurassic Park series, and misc Transformers stuff plus the best out-of-context Rach and Cam quotes and Athena moments.

An apocalyptic Death Star destruction experience, annoying anime girls, and a little bit of venison talk. (Oh yeah. And Monarch Season 2 is just standing there, menacingly. Threatening to curse our screens next year.)

In the first half of Star Wars Visions 3, we see a 30-lightsaber-arm woman, a Grogu knockoff, the Good Autistic Doctor, a droideka mech suit, and Steve Busemi (so just basic anime stuff).

Disney trying to avoid paying its actors, a bizarre Star Wars VR toy-collecting game, and podcast analytics: the things we discuss instead of this week’s topic.

It’s Cameron’s birthday, he’s 30, and he wants to talk about films from his birth year. So enjoy us having to talk about Kevin Spacey, Bryan Singer, Mel Gibson, and Mr. Holland kissing a high school girl.

Rachel lists the the podcast-relevant savior figures and Cameron goes off about what people get wrong about Star Wars.

Shin Godzilla is …. a lot. Godzilla himself looks like a scabbed-over soar. The score includes every genre known to man. And the board room meetings are plentiful.

As if 7 Jurassic Park movies weren’t enough, now it’s time to see how the Transformers deal with a dino-island.

I refer you back to that perfect episode title

Time for July-rassic World: Hmm-birth – “Accurate" Spinosaurus (gross), Titanosaurus mating ritual (no thanks), & Scarlett Johansson’s lifeless plastic face (terrifying).

For June-rassic Park, we got caught up in celebrating an incredible marriage of high-level spectacle and engrossing character work, but for July-rassic World, even when we want to say something nice, we can’t help but stumble upon yet another fundamental and catastrophic flaw in this thing. …. How fun!

Dino-soar into “Lost World: Jurassic Park” and Jurassic Park 3, movies that make us want to see Jeff Goldblum back in leather, forget seeing a raptor talk, and punt a baby Pteranodon.

Break out your novels and make some tea, cause it’s time for Jurassic book club. Rachel knows all the dinos’ names. Caleb has an alternate film pitch. And Cameron gets his whirring and clicking fix.

The end of Andor is here (Endor?)

Everybody gangster until KX droids show up and start tossing fools.

Time to do some space grocery shopping, political fundraising, and French-style revolutionizing (cafés included) with Andor season 2 arc 2.

It's "Oops, all rebels" as we poorly fly, desperately dance, and awkwardly eat dinner with mom into the start of Andor Season 2.

After winning the Oscar for best animated feature, "Flow" has come to R&R to ask one very important question: Cat or Capybara?

Bizarre crackhead energy? Embarrassingly awkward voice acting? Increasingly unpredictable plots? Transformers is back, boys.

Highlights from all our seasons in 2024 plus Rach and Cam's best out-of-context quotes and sincere analysis.

Cam and Rach won't have to struggle to stay on topic today because the topic is: whatever garbage is coming out of their mouth at the moment.

After looking at the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth and before barreling forward with no plan for 2025, we’re looking back at the best of 2024: movies, tv shows, moments on the pod, and our infamous (and increasingly convoluted) season names.
