The Purrgil Pod

We have been waiting for this beauty for so long and it is finally here! It's officially Ahsoka time! Let's go! Hunter and Jessica get together to discuss the first 2 episodes - over confident new republic, new prison jumpsuits, Witches of Dathomir, Rebels, 75% original parts droids, who's feeding the Loth Cat?, Pathway to Peridea...oh...and PURRGILS are taking center stage. Thrawn cal...

Full-on Filoni Fever Dream! Loth Cats and Loth Wolves, family heirlooms, double-crossing, Governors with bad haircuts, Thrawn being evil, world between worlds and Ahsoka lives!?! If this is Filoni at his animated best, we just can't wait for his live action Ahsoka series on Disney+. Along with the rewatch, we break down every purrgil-loving second of the Ahsoka trailer with great excitement. J...

Wow, what a season! Hair cuts, giant sky moose, RIP Maul, lost relatives, love interests and maybe the Geonoisans aren't gone for good? Our blue friend Thrawn comes into the picture and we visit with our other good friend Saw Gerrera. In the mean time, Kanan and Hera are in some Hallmark romance movie sub-plot and the droids get even weirder. All this and MORE as we start by discussing the new Ind...

Karabast! Yes, all 22 Episodes are reviewed here in this episode of the Purrgil Pod - it's like speed dating with Star Wars. Join us as we fast-walk thru each episode to chat about the major scenes and things that impact us down the road including our favorite episode about the PURRGILS!! We just can't get enough of those beautiful purple space whales. So if you are looking for a fast-trac...

Who else is getting ready for the Ahsoka show? I know we are! So in order to be fully READY for the show, we are rewatching Rebels, as Ahsoka is looking like Rebels, Season 5! So enjoy this trip down memory lane with a flashback to 2014.

May the Fourth Be With You!! We couldn't let THE Star Wars holiday pass by without a fitting Purrgil tribute to the day. Thank the Maker for this glorious galaxy that we love. So many people dropped me a text or comment or sent a "May the fourth be with you" gif. I love them all. So, Happy Star Wars day from The Purrgil Pod to you. Next up: May 5 is Revenge of the Fifth!

As the season comes to a close, what did we resolve, what is left open? Was this a satisfying end for Season 3? Does Din prefer sweet tea or beer? So many question, some with answers, some unresolved. IG-Grogu to the rescue! Axe to the rescue! Bo to the rescue! We are filled to the brim with hero's journeys and we are here to talk all about it! Join the conversation with our FB Group, The Purr...

The Spies - who are the spies?? This episode brings the best from many of the open story lines and we have a lot to say about it - from the return of The Mof, the continuation of Elia Kane, the Mandos, Nevarro and the best invention of IG-Grogu Yes! No! (otherwise known as IG-12!), a Pirates of the Caribbean montage, quiet moments where Din professes his love to Bo, ok, well, he didn't exactly...

Romeo and Juliette meets Alice in Wonderland meets Scooby Doo meets Mandalorians hanging out and playing catch!?!?!? Give it up to Bryce Dallas Howard for bringing the ridiculous to life in this cameo-filled episode that gave us an absurd amount of frolic while also advancing the plot along the way. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids!! What does this mean to t...

Full-on Mando madness continues here at the Purrgil Pod. This week we talk about Manadalorian S3E5 as Jessica does her best to get Hunter's approval of the episode from a 4/10 to an 8/10! We talk pirates with muppet mouths, the Leia maneuver, pockets of fomenting and Jeremy Bulloch. Then we talk about the season cliff hanger of Bad Batch where we decided that Tech is still alive and once Omega...

It's an all-out FREAK OUT for Mando this week. What the what? We find out who saved Grogu from Order 66 and it couldn't have been any better and in the history of perfect episodes, this one is TOPS! Rumor has it Jessica is still trying to collect herself. A crazy whirlwind of a Mando episode and then The Tipping Point where Crosshair tries (succeeds?) to redeem himself in between (trigger)...

These two episodes couldn't be any more different if Dave and John tried. While The Outpost is the dark and gritty tale of Crosshair finally seeing the light, is it too late for him? Why did it have to be so....sad? Compared to Pabu, which is about the lightest episode we've seen, and the BB's version of rainbows and unicorns...when will the other shoe of the Empire drop on them? Why d...

Mando-mania all around here - we've got something for everyone - from the dreadful Spider Tank to the Mando and Bo romance sub-plot, to an episode of Andor, and one too many "This is the Way"s for Bo! #PogSoupForBatuu is our mantra these days. Let's get that trending on the Twittersphere! Join us! Facebook - The Purrgil Pod Email ThePurrgilPod@gmail.com What do they say? Smash th...

Another truly zany breakdown of Bad Batch Season 2 Episodes 9, 10 and 11 where we question the titles in relation to the episode and compare them to Oliver Twist and Indiana Jones, among other things.  Why was Omega having such a hard day?  Did Tech grow a heart?  Why was Jango Fett lacking so much in Emotional Intelligence?  These clones need to get with it!  Stockholm sy...

You can imagine all the anticipation leading up to the Mando season 3 premier, and then to have PURRGILS 10 minutes into the episode - our minds are BLOWN.  Long live the Purrgils!  Of course we review the episode beat by beat, including Lake Powell, Pirates of the Caribbean and Maul, with the heart-stopping cuteness of Grogu bear-hugging Babu.  What?  Cuteness overload! Throw...

Yes!  We are back to some AWESOME Star Wars story telling!  Clone rights, political back-stabbing, do-good senators and take-your-orphaned-clone to work day!  What's not to love?  Maybe the harsh reality that doing the right thing doesn't always mean the right will prevail.  Join Hunter and Jessica as they dive head first into the latest from Bad Batch.  In Dave Felon...

What do Indiana Jones, Speed Racer and the cutest wookie ever have in common?  You guessed it, Bad Batch!  In this episode, Jessica and Hunter run down episodes 4, 5 and 6 in the Bad Batch, the good, the bad and the super cute!  C'mon.  Jedi Wookie.  You can't get much better than that!  Well, may Omega communing with the Trees, that was super cute as well.  Join...

Here we are at episode 3 of the Bad Batch - Solitary Clone.  As usual, Jessica and Hunter digress early on, get all the names wrong, and somehow manage to still review the episode and throw in a Shrek reference for good measure.  We ask, does Crosshair actually have a soul?  And what's this "Ghost Track 17" thing?  Hunter had a great guess which is now on record.  Time wil...

Join Hunter and Jessica as they chat about the Season 2 premier of Episodes 1 & 2 of the Bad Batch!  What do Pirates of the Caribbean, Pinnocchio and Mean Joe Green have in common?  Will Jessica EVER get a ship's name correct?  Does the power couple of Dedra and Syril save the day?  All that, a life lesson for Omega, a philosophical epiphany for Echo, a rotten Imperial, WAN...

Let's all look up to Maarva Andor as she gives one of the best impassioned speeches that Star Wars has ever heard!  "Fight the Empire" - and indeed we do.  This week Jessica and Hunter tackle not 1, not 2, but 6 - six - 6 episodes in this fast paced Andor speed dating podcast.  Do we love it?  You bet we do!  Join us on this final fever dream for all the romance, action and drama - yes, romance. I...

S1 E7 Spoiler alert!  This week Hunter and Jessica discuss the 6 shorts from Tales of the Jedi.  Which did we like better?  The Douku or Ahsoka arc?  Can you guess?  We're back discussing the 3 shorts for each character, what do they add to the character's whole story and why can't Hunter remember the name Yaddle?  All this and more in this Dave Filoni appreciation ep...

Let's talk Andor Episodes 4, 5 and 6.  The first rule of the Aldhani heist is that we don't talk about the Aldhani heist, right?  Well, we talk about that and more.  Will Eedy Karn force her son to break?  Will Mon ever get control of her husband and daughter?  Will Vel ever her "children" to behave?  Prolonged gun fight and more, we talk about every nuance, every cha...

We've watched Andor Episodes 1, 2 and 3, have awakened from our Andor Fever Dream and ready to talk all about it.  Fair warning, SPOILERS ABOUND in this episode of the Purrgil Pod, so if you haven't watched the show yet, and want to remain spoiler free, skip this until you've watched it.  Andor is amazing, captivating, 100% Star Wars and we LOVED IT!  Join us for our crazy discussio...

Oh, we loved the Kenobi show - could we love this behind the scene's documentary even more?  While nothing tops the Vader/Kenobi light saber battle in the Kenobi show, Ewan and Hayden still tug at our heartstrings in this amazing expose!  Who cries first?  Jessica or Hunter?  You'll have to tune in to listen for our overall impressions and our top 5 moments.  Bonus points...

We've watched the Lego Vacation special and lived to tell about it.  And the best part is that it takes place on the Halcyon!  What a crazy adventure this special is and we share our thoughts and our top moments for the show.  And we delve into a philosophical discussion about movies vs TV series.  Join us for this and more on this episode of The Purrgil Pod.
