Shark And Goon: A pop-culture podcast

Two words.  Luke Skywalker. Is it awesome?  Of course it's awesome.

Bill Burr is back in what Shark calls THE BEST EPISODE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES.  Plus we get some more Boba Fett.  

Boba Fett has crawled out of the sarlac pit and is here to kick stormtrooper armor.  Is it good?  Did you miss the part where this says BOBA FETT IS BACK?!

Live action Ahsoka Tano finally happens!  Is it good?  Yes.  Plus some cool pseudo-samurai action.

Take Spider-Man and add in Transformer style robots and a flying car and Professor Monster and Kaiju and - yes it's crazy and yes it is a real thing!

It's not THE Holiday Special but it is A Holiday Special.  What's canon and what's not?  Is Rey really training Finn?  Do the portals count?  Why does Rey have a trash accent now?  Why won't Disney release the OG Holiday Special?  Why won't Disney release Star Wars: Detours?

While you drive home from Thanksgiving you and your family can argue in the car - is Die Hard a Christmas Movie? Obviously it is no matter what Goon says.  Is Die Hard 2 a Christmas Movie? Obviously,  Die Hard 3? Not so much.

Mando hooks back up with Carl Weathers and Cara Dune...Titus Welliver...Darktroopers....Horatio Sanz....another solid episode of The Mandalorian. Along the way Shark and Goon talk about how Jon Favreau GETS IT and how Star Trek doesn't....and a side conversation about how Favreau made people care about Marvel properties nobody cared about back in the day.

Mando and Baby Yoda go get some chowder, and we all break out our fisherman sweaters for a nautical episode...plus Katee Sackhoff!!!

A Frog-Lady!  Spider Monsters!  It's another rollicking episode of The Mandalorian.

The Mandalorian returns for Season 2 with a great kickoff episode....a pure Western!

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is a new animated series on Netflix.

Disney+ reportedly is developing a Nick Fury series that would star Samuel L. Jackson.  

Goon takes a look at The Walking Dead's future, including the Daryl and Carol spinoff.

It's like Rick and Morty except not at all.

Did the end of The Clone Wars make up for a mostly brutal season?  Yes and no.

Shark and Goon start talking about the Snyder Cut which somehow turns into an episode about them discussing The Rise Of Skywalker.

Who are the real Fantastic Four?  What's your X-Men lineup? What about the Avengers?  How old is Peter Parker anyway?  We discuss our head-canon for the "real" Marvel superheroes.

Which iteration of Batman do you consider to be the "real" one?  What about Superman?

Shark and Goon have mixed opinions about the latest sitcom from Greg Daniels.

What if instead of just doing Space Hitler, Star Trek: Discovery had done a more nuances version of the Mirror Universe that was more like Sliders than the Space Hitler and Evil Abed version we got?

A discussion of the general look and feel of Star Trek: Picard.  Does it look and feel like Star Trek?

The latest from Ricky Gervais is wonderful, but warning it will leave you in a funky mood.  You should watch.

Leading into today's finale, The Clone Wars has had it's best run of episodes ever after a really disappointing season leading up to the return of Maul.

What We Do in the Shadows documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén). You should watch.

Han and Chewbacca hire six misfit spacers to help them with the task, including Don-Wan Kihotay, an old man who thinks he is a Jedi Knight, and Jaxxon, a rabbit-like creature with a mean disposition.

Star Wars announced Doctor Aphra: An Audiobook Original, an expanded adaptation of the kinda good, kinda bad archaeologist’s introduction in Marvel’s Darth Vader series. In the story, Aphra makes a deal with the Sith Lord — never the best idea — and begins a memorable (mis)adventure

Shark & Goon discuss MARVELS, a podcast that takes place in the aftermath of the Fantastic Four’s battle with Galactus, high above New York City, for the fate of the world.

Jonathan Frakes commented on Star Trek fans not liking the recent iterations of Star Trek.  Shark and Goon do not agree with Mr. Frakes.

A farm-boy teams up with a wizard, a smuggler, a bigfoot, a princess and two robots to defeat The Man In Black and his space station.  It's a good film.

Goon has a new show he likes - War of the Worlds on EPIX.  Also a sidebar conversation about Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise.       

Well, they finally destroyed Star Trek.  Picard ends with a mess of an episode, and yeah (spoiler thing).  We get some nice moments by Brent Spiner but wow what a mess.

Shark and Goon finally talk about Season7 of the Clone Wars.  Why haven't they been talking about it?  Because it's pretty boring.  And man is Anakin is an abusive relationship.

The Mandalorian will be adding Rosario Dawson as a live action version of Ahsoka.  Is that good?  Is it small-universe?  Is it both?

All the plot lines magically come together, and Brent Spiner is given something to do.  It's both bad and somehow arguably the best episode of Picard yet.  And don't worry about murdering Bruce Maddox, we all got over it.

Hey is that Padme?  That looks like Padme?  How could Padme be back?  You saw The Phantom Menace, right?  Figure it out Anakin.

Fast and Furious 9 delayed by a year.  The Falcon and the Snowman Winter Soldier delayed.  Disney+ might have nothing coming.  Shows suspended production.  What are we gonna watch in a few months if nothing is being made?  Star Trek: Discovery?

After a relatively good week of Picard, this show is desperately in need of the Emergency Writer Hologram.

Finally, Picard visits the Rikers and some of the old magic comes back.  It's clearly the best Picard has been....but does that make it good?  Plus we talk about the Sexy Romulan being sexy despite her terrible ears.

Disney released the digital version of The Rise Of Skywalker so we would have something to watch on Coronavirus Weekend.  Upon watching the movie again....oh that thing everyone was mad about....they actually did explain it in the film.

For those of you who think @sharkandgoon hate everything....we both gave this game an 11 out of 10.  Our super-enthusiastic review awaits your download!

There is a very simple solution on how to reboot the Indiana Jones series....and James Bond has the answer.

We start with an observation about the fans by Dave Filoni, which leads to a broader discussion of the wackos who don't enjoy Episodes VIII and IX.

What the world really needed was another zombie TV show.  SyFy gets in on the act with Day of the Dead.  Meanwhile, can The Walking Dead just get the ball back to Negan?

Star Wars announces a major expansion...and maybe it's all just too much.

Dave Filoni suggests Ahsoka is still alive at the end of Rise of Skywalker.  OK then, how about helping us out against the Empire? No?  How about helping stop The First Order?  No?  What are you doing Ahsoka?

J.J., why didn't you tell me? It would have taken two seconds to explain that Palpatine was a clone in Rise of Skywalker.  Instead, we needed to read the novel for it to make sense.

Picard makes it to the Borg Cube and we get some more Sexy Roman Time.  We hang out with Hugh and the Borg have some series destroying technology.

A discussion of Harley Quinn on DC Universe leads to Shark and Goon wondering why Luthor even bothers with the other people in the Legion of Doom.

Padme is mad that there isn't any fruit for her party, so she yells at Anakin who takes out his rage on the droids.  The droids head to the mall where R2-D2 visits the massage parlor and gets a rather interesting bath.  This really is the plot.  Also Cad Bane is in this one.  This may be the best Clone Wars episode of them all, and explains why Anakin went from a nice young man who then couldn't take his girlfriend's nagging any more and decided to become the most evil person in the galaxy just so he wouldn't' get yelled at about fruit.
