On this episode, we discuss The Mandalorian Chapter 12, in which Mando swings by Navarro for some much needed spaceship repairs, only to get roped into helping Greef Karga and Cara Dune blow up what’s supposed to be an abandoned Imperial base, but in Star Wars, “abandoned” always means full of stormtroopers. Inside, they stumble on creepy cloning experiments while Baby Yoda enjoys a day at space p...

In this uncalled for remake of the 1991 classic, our characters swap surfboards for a buffet of extreme sports. We follow Utah, an FBI agent and former extreme athlete, who goes undercover to infiltrate a crew of eco-terrorist thrill-seekers led by the enigmatic Bodhi. The gang is attempting a series of high-risk, high-concept stunts around the world to honor nature (sure) and pull off daring heis...

Chapter 11 of The Mandalorian sees Mando finally deliver Frog Lady to her husband, who doesn’t seem too upset about all of his dead kids. Things improve when Mando teams up with a squad of Mandalorians led by Bo-Katan, who’s basically Mandalorian royalty and makes him look like the kid still riding with training wheels. Together they hijack an Imperial ship, toss stormtroopers around like trash ba...

SKYtember continues with another 1994 action film, TERMINAL VELOCITY. Charlie Sheen is a thrill-seeking skydiving instructor who gets tangled up in a deadly conspiracy when a mysterious student (Nastassja Kinski) seemingly falls to her death during a jump.

In Chapter 10 of The Mandalorian, Mando becomes an intergalactic Uber driver for a frog lady who needs to get her eggs home, or it’s the end of her bloodline, no pressure. Things go south fast when Baby Yoda treats the eggs like a personal snack bar, and a pit stop on an icy planet unleashes a horde of nightmare fuel spider-creatures. We get appearances from X-Wing pilots and some kick ass flying....

We kick off SKYtember with the 1994 Wesley Snipes action-thriller DROP ZONE and we're bringing our good friend and Wesley Snipes expert The Classy Alcoholic from The Mixed Company Podcast along with us!

In The Mandalorian Chapter 9, Mando returns to Tatooine in search of other Mandalorians, only to find Cobb Vanth—a marshal wearing Boba Fett’s armor and a serious swagger. The two strike an uneasy deal: help kill a massive krayt dragon in exchange for the armor. They team up with Tusken Raiders (because nothing says “bonding” like shared monster hunting) and pull off a spectacularly messy victory....

In Chapter 8 of The Mandalorian, Mando and his crew are pinned down by Moff Gideon’s forces, who come armed with big speeches and even bigger blasters. IG-11 makes a heroic comeback, zooming in like the world’s deadliest nanny on a speeder bike to save Baby Yoda. After a fierce showdown, Mando defeats Gideon and finally earns his official Mandalorian signet. The episode ends with Gideon slicing hi...

Jack chose 2001's Hardball for this month, in which Keanu Reeves plays Conor O’Neill, a down-on-his-luck gambler who takes a gig coaching a ragtag Little League team from Chicago’s Cabrini Green housing projects, mostly because he owes everyone money. Yes, the same housing project that Candyman is from! What starts as a begrudging paycheck gig turns into an "unlikely" redemption story, as Conor le...

In Chapter 7 of The Mandalorian, Mando reluctantly returns to Navarro after Greef Karga proposes a truce and a plan to take out the Client once and for all. He assembles a ragtag team, including Cara Dune, Kuiil, and IG-11, and brings Baby Yoda along for what is definitely not a 50-year-old baby safe mission. Things quickly spiral when Moff Gideon shows up, dramatically outclassing everyone and tu...

We had already planned on covering this one for our Schlock & Load segment, but we bumped it up in light of the Hulkster's passing. And, yes, we know Terry Bollea was a real-life piece of shit. In this schlock-bomb, Suburban Commando, Hogan swaps the wrestling ring for outer space as Shep Ramsey, an intergalactic warrior forced to lie low on Earth after breaking his spaceship in a hissy fit. U...

In Chapter 6 of The Mandalorian, Mando joins a crew of shady mercenaries for a prison break mission aboard a New Republic transport ship. Things go sideways fast when the team double-crosses him, because apparently, backstabbing is just part of the onboarding process. Mando turns the tables one by one, locking his former teammates up like bad space roommates. He escapes with Baby Yoda and a little...

We kick off our annual "back to school" (aka sh*tbird) month with 1993's Father Hood, in which Patrick Swayze trades his dancing shoes for a beat-up station wagon as Jack Charles, a small-time crook suddenly saddled with his two kids that he left in foster care after his wife passed. After rescuing them from a shady foster home straight out of a bad made-for-TV movie, Jack takes them on a chaotic...

In Chapter 5 of The Mandalorian, Mando makes an emergency landing on Tatooine after his ship takes damage during a dogfight. To pay for repairs, he teams up with an overconfident rookie bounty hunter named Toro Calican to track down the elusive assassin Fennec Shand, played by the great Ming Na-Wen. The plan goes sideways when Toro double-crosses everyone, proving he's more amateur than ambitious....

Our friend Tyler, from local ska-punk band Swigfoot , is back with us on this one to watch a movie he's never seen before, George Lucas and Marvel's Howard the Duck! Howard is just your average cigar-chomping, sarcastic duck from Duckworld, a planet where everyone waddles, talks, and apparently wears pants only sometimes. One day, without warning, he's beamed through space and crash lands in the o...

In Chapter 4 of The Mandalorian, Mando tries to hide out on a peaceful farming planet, but ends up teaming up with ex-Rebel badass (and real-life trash person) Cara Dune to teach clueless villagers how to fight off raiders with a terrifying AT-ST. There’s bonding, training montages, and a romantic subplot that goes nowhere because Mando’s married to the helmet. In the end, our heroes realize there...

Just your everyday PTA m...

For this episode we asked Werner Herzog himself to summarize what you can expect. "In the bleak and merciless galaxy, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter delivers his quarry — a small, ancient creature of untold power — to men whose morality is as withered as the dust on their boots. Yet as he watches the infant taken behind cold doors, a terrible melancholy seeps into his soul, for he knows: they do...
