Separatists led by Admiral Trench battle Republic forces led by Anakin and Mace Windu for the Republic shipyards on Anaxes. Rex has an idea of why things are going badly: analytics; the droids know Rex's strategies too well. They plan to take a small squad to the enemy Cyber Center, where intel is processed, to see if they can figure out what's happening. Before leaving, Rex and Cody chat about losing Fives, Echo, and Hevy during the war, which makes me feel bad for Droidbait and Cutup. Rex thinks Echo is alive, because their battle plans are old ones he and Echo drew up, and also because he has to remind us that Echo died several seasons ago.Rex and Cody leave to meet up with their squad for the mission: Clone Force 99, AKA The Bad Batch! Hunter, the leader! Tech, the smart one! Crosshair, the sharpshooter! Wrecker, the big one! These guys seem cool enough to have their own show. They join up with Rex, Cody, and 501st clones Kix and Jesse to find what the Separatists are using to outwit the Republic. Their gunship is shot down, and with a large number of droids incoming, the Bad Batch goes to work showing off their cool skills, which involve Wrecker lifting things, Hunter stabbing things, and Tech saying numbers while Crosshair shoots.The team infiltrates the Cyber Center, break into the computers and discover that the algorithm they've been looking for is a live signal from the planet Skako Minor. When they try to find out who is sending the signal, they get the answer 'CT-1409'. As the clones escape from the facility, Rex reveals that CT-1409 is Echo. Rex is trying to get support for Echo's rescue mission and Anakin suggests highlighting the goal of finding out how the Separatists are predicting their strategy. Did Anakin sexually contract politics from Padme? Then Anakin changes subjects and says that he and Rex need to do that ‘thing'. Rex excuses himself and follows Anakin.Rex watches the door while Anakin Space Times Padme who is positively glowing. Anakin and Padme have an actual conversation and look like they genuinely regret being apart. I think those two kids are going to make it. Anakin is worried about Rex being too attached to personal attachments, Padme suggests that Anakin has made the same mistakes once or twice and Anakin actually cops to it.Obi-Wan rolls up on Rex and makes him sweat trying to find excuses for Anakin's chatting with his wife. Obi-Wan lets him them the hook and says that he hopes Anakin told Padme he says hello. Anakin hasn't grown too much because he looks pissed rather than embarrassed. Is Star Wars allowed to do ‘show don't tell', because that was a great scene. While on their way to Skako Minor Wrecker is working out with a G0NK droid. We told you Dave Filoni was a fan of this podcast. The clones land and are accosted by the aliens from Crystal Skull riding small dragons. Anakin is snatched and taken to their village. Anakin is rescued and it turns out the locals don't want the war to come to their planet.Meanwhile Admiral Trench calls Wat Tambor to tell him the clones are on their way. Wat thinks that the Techno Union has corporate neutrality, but Trench suggests that a black-ops squad might not have a JAG officer to advise them on rules of engagement here. The clones infiltrate the Techno Union base, Wrecker goes absolutely nuts on some droids, suggesting that some Gronkowski DNA might have been involved in his personal mutation. That party cruise is wild. The clones find a Vault-Tec stasis pod and it was Echo all along.https://twitter.com/ClosingCrawlhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/closing-crawl/id1530133296https://www.closingcrawl.com/Merch at: https://bit.ly/spacetimetm

S3E1 - Clone CadetsFive headstrong clones struggle to complete their training on Kamino. These cadets -- Hevy, Cutup, Droidbait, Fives and Echo -- seem to be a "bad batch" and are unable to work as a team. As Shaak Ti and drill instructors Bric and El-Les debate the cadets' fate, the clones learn to work together and accept their destiny as soldiers.S3E2 - ARC TroopersThe Republic learns of an impending Separatist attack on Kamino, and Anakin and Obi-Wan hurry to the planet. After the Republic repulses the Separatists' diversionary assault, the real attack begins.

Rex, Cody, Fives and Echo lead the clones in a desperate defense of their home planet.S3E3 - Supply LinesRyloth is under siege. Trapped on the surface, Jedi Master Di rallies the local forces with the help of Cham Syndulla. Desperate to save them, the Jedi Council dispatches Senator Bail Organa and Representative Jar Jar Binks to the planet Toydaria, where they are to convince the neutral regent, King Katuunko, to send aid to Ryloth. Bail and Jar Jar must convince Toydaria that their cause is just -- before it's too late. Trade Federation envoy Lott Dod attempts to prevent the Toydarians from giving up their neutrality. Katuunko follows his conscience and secretly aids the Republic, which Jar Jar is able to keep secret from the snooping Trade Federation agents with his inimitable distractions.S3E4 - Sphere of InfluenceChi Eekway and Che Amanwe, Chairman Papanoida's daughters, are kidnapped and held for ransom. Ahsoka Tano teams up with the Senator from Pantora, Riyo Chuchi, to aid the new chairman in recovering his family before the Trade Federation can unduly influence the future of his planet. The Chairman and his son, Ion, track down the kidnapper -- Greedo -- on Tatooine, and rescue Che Amanwe. Meanwhile, Ahsoka and Chuchi find Chi Eekway held captive aboard a blockading Trade Federation battleship over Pantora, and expose Trade Federation officer Sib Canay as a Separatist conspirator.S3E5 - CorruptionPadmé, on a diplomatic mission to Mandalore, guarantees the pacifist planet the Republic's full protection, but she and Duchess Satine soon find something sinister lurking beneath the planet's serene facade. Moogan smugglers have been sneaking in supplies, including bottled tea destined for the Mandalorian schools. To increase their profits, they have been diluting the tea with a hazardous chemical.S3E6 - The AcademyAhsoka is assigned to teach a class at a leadership academy on Mandalore. Soon after she arrives, Duchess Satine's zealous nephew -- Korkie -- and his classmates uncover a nefarious plot. Prime Minister Almec is revealed to be an active part of the black market conspiracy on Mandalore, and he attempts to permanently silence Duchess Satine and the cadets before they expose his corruption. Ahsoka and the cadets defeat Almec before he can succeed.

We also delve into Droid personhood (and beef) in a two parter that separates Anakin from true series protagonist, R2-D2. It's a story that has one real lesson: Do not fuck with R2-D2.

Star Wars fans rejoiced on Friday for the return of the hit Clone Wars animated series for it's seventh hand final season. Since audiences saw the first trailer for Season 7 at Star Wars Celebration there are many storylines we have eagerly awaited on seeing wrap up. One storyline being that of Squad 99 also referred to as "The Bad Batch"! After Rex meets with the Jedi he is filled with survivor's guilt at the lost of some of his brothers Hevy, Fives, and most notably Echo. The Separatist's have been keying in on the Republic's attack formations leading Rex to suspect Echo may indeed be alive. Clone Force 99 arrives to help throw off the Separatists. The Bad Batch includes clones with favorable genetic mutations for battle. The Squad consists of: -Hunter, the leader who has heightened senses land looks like a cross between Daredevil and Rambo. -Wrecker, the teams muscle who has super-strong abilities and yells "YEAH" a lot. -Tech, a tech-genius who can slice nearly any door. -Crosshair, a dead-eye sniper who literally has a target tattoo around his eye. This group refers to the other clones as "regs". The clones go into battle and take a Separatist bunker. Before leaving Rex discovers a signal from a neighboring moon Shako Minor that suggests Echo may indeed still be alive!

When I began this podcast I would often get frustrated at how unsuitable my recording environments would be. Sitting down in a dressing room or tour bus, the perfectionist in me would get annoyed at odd sounds, like a refrigerator buzzing or traffic passing.I've learned to accept it as something of a unique feature of this podcast. There are other shows out there who can afford to ask their guests to come into a soundproofed studio or, hell, even just a room in a house, and those shows are great. Conversely, there's podcasts out there which conduct interviews over Skype, and I enjoy those too, but for me the DIY ethic is something I've always embraced in my journalistic and creative life. I think in the beginning I lost sight of that.I understand and accept that I'll probably never conduct an interview in a studio, so I've grown to enjoy the unpredictable nature of recording in the wild. A good conversation can happen anywhere at any time, not just in a studio. In fact, I've come to believe that perhaps because the guests feel more at ease in familiar surroundings, the interviews come across much more relaxed and open.Jeremy has always identified with that DIY punk ethos, and he talks a bit about this in the interview, mostly in relation to Secret Voice but also in regards to punk music more generally.It was great to finally sit down with the man. I've been trying to land this interview for a couple of years; firstly at Hevy festival in 2015 and then last year when they were in Scotland. He spoke about his love of Glasgow, touring, Secret Voice, Stage Four and so much more.It's a cracking wee chat if I do say so myself.Featured MusicIntro: David Szesztay – CombatMusic bed: Lee Rosevere - Planet DOutro: Blue Dot Sessions – InessentialI make no claim to the copyright of any of the music in this episode.Image credit: Noisey by Vice.

As anyone familiar with the band knows by now, there is a lot to be said about Dillinger Escape Plan not just musically, but also in their ethos and approach to being a band. Torrents of column inches have been dedicated to their impending demise and the deluge will no doubt continue long after, but if you've heard their latest record or seen them live, it's altogether unsurprising that they have chosen to end things on their own terms. Not because they've ran out of ideas - they're just as incendiary, captivating and straight up as mental as ever - but because everything up until this point has been thoroughly thought through.In my research prior to this conversation, Ben said in another interview that Dillinger put more thought into ten seconds worth of music than most bands do for whole albums (I would link it but when I research using old interviews they all just seem to coagulate into one big heap of words, so I've forgotten the source. Sorry). It is this calculated approach, compositionally and artistically, which has defined DEP's music since the beginning. So with this knowledge in mind, it's perhaps much easier to understand why the band decided to come to a controlled stop – if everything is laboured over for maximum effect, then it's fitting that should the book be closed with just as much precision.This is the second time I've spoken to Ben. The first, as regular listeners may recall, was back in 2015 at Hevy fest. It was the briefest of brief conversations. This is twice as long (and then some), but it's still quite short. Being in the thick of it, doing an interview back stage, is one of the coolest things, but it does mean you're often pushed for time. Which is a shame, particularly in this case cause I didn't even get around to asking Ben any of the questions I had written down. We could've sat for another 20 minute, that's how easy the conversation flowed.It was also cool that he recognised me. I never expected that to happen. I never expect anyone to recognise me after an interview – why should you? You see so many faces on tour; cities and venues start to blend into one. I think it's silly to expect someone to remember you after such a short interaction.What I can say about this interview though is that Ben does seem quite settled with the fact that this part of his life will soon be over. We're all excited to see what the band goes on to do next, and I'm sure they are too. When they figure it out.I hope you enjoy this interview. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Hill and Beez mourn the death of Hevy fest and discuss The Story So Far selfie storm, there’s a rundown of this year’s TNM friendly Record Store Day releases and chat of Guns N Roses return. There’s also reviews of the new albums from Ihsahn, Zak Wylde, Blakq Audio and Cult Of Luna albums, a report from Converge’s unique Blood Moon show and our Album Club comes courtesy of Airbourne’s Runnin’ Wild.
It’s a bumper week on TNM as Hill and Beez discuss the new BABYMETAL track and Josh Homme/Iggy Pop collaboration, the upcoming Deftones album and guitarist Steph Carpenter’s controversial comments about it, there’s album reviews from Anthrax, From Ashes To New, The Dirty Nil and a Simple Plan album review that simply has to be heard to be believed as well as a look at the new names for Slam Dunk and Hevy festivals and Biffy Clyro's Only Revolutions in Album Club. WARNING: You will laugh if you listen to this in public. You have been warned.
This is the last of the interviews I conducted at Hevy festival back at the start of August, and is a pretty great short and sweet conversations with Josh from Milk Teeth.The band had just played their set on the main stage not long before this interview, and in a bizarre twist of fate it turned out that Josh and Becky were being interviewed by the people who were in the tent next to us mere moments before this chat.You'll also be glad to know that I was sober for this one.Highlights include:Playing shows both for the fans that love it and for themselvesCreating art is selfish, even when you're doing it to a crowdBeing okay with the fact that not everyone likes your musicThey used to get angry that people wouldn't be into their music at shows but now they do just do it for themselves and for the fans that love itYou have to want to do it because you need to go through playing to people who don't care and busting your ass for very little before you get to the place where people appreciate youBeing very humble about the opportunity he and his band have to make musicElliott Smith and the way he stopped wanting to play live but had to do it anywayYou have to be realistic with yourself and your motivation because you never know when that passion will vanishWhy the band don't play songs from their first record anymoreHow the meaning of songs can change over the yearsHonesty is absolutely key on stageJosh is a really intense dude who quite clearly loves playing music more than anything else. Milk Teeth's music might be closer to grunge than anything else, but Josh's songwriting style is more akin to someone like Elliott Smith in its thoughtfulness.After this interview we spent another five minutes talking about the brilliance of Elliott Smith. I'm a big gutted that I turned off the recorder at that point but as you'll be able to tell towards the interview there was some kind of light aircraft hovering right over our heads which was making it difficult to hear anything properly.Nevertheless, despite the shortness of this interview I really enjoyed it and I hope you do too.Featured MusicIntro: Voodoo Puppets – Electric Chair Blues (used under CC licence, you can check it out here).Milk Teeth - VitaminsMilk Teeth - TrampolineI make no claim to the copyright of any of the music in this episode.Image courtesy of Noise Cannon.LinksYou can check out Milk Teeth on Twitter and Facebook.

On this episode I have Ian and Will from Southampton goth punks Creeper. At first I thought this would only be a short chat but ended up being a fifty minute half drunken diatribe on Creeper, punk, DIY and all things related as we sat around a tent at Hevy festival. And it's awesome.WARNING: I drop a "hard C". That is to say, I use the C-word.Some back story for you.When we arrived in Ashford, Kent, we procured a sizable cache of booze and jumped in a taxi bound for the campsite. Upon our arrival and much to my dismay, we found out that I was the only one on the guestlist for the festival. After contacting one of the site managers I managed to secure a pass for my compadre Craig and we made our way to the press area to pitch our tent.Originally, I had agreed with Creeper's PR person that I would interview them between 1.30 and 2pm. We didn't get into the campsite until 1.30 and by the time we finished erecting our tent we had completely missed our allotted time slot.Later that day, after I completed the hastily rearranged Fightstar interview, I bumped into Ian and Will and apologised for missing our interview slot. They suggested that we do it there and then, so after retreating to a safe area (outside our tent) and cracking open a crate of Fosters, we sat down and began talking.What unfolded is one of the most natural, open ended and honest interviews so far. It's also perhaps one of my favourites. I had no time to look out my questions because of the impromptu nature of it, but what happened when we sat down was, I think, a pretty remarkable conversation.My sound man Craig does a lot of talking. Not that that's not a bad thing. Just a notice for you.Highlights include:Funeral for a Friend and some straight edge chat.Creeper write music using tea, a crap keyboard and researching the themes of their records.The Callous Heart is the culmination of an attempt to write a punk record they hadn't heard before.Taking influence from Jim Steinman, his middle 8s and using a mellotron.“Borrowing” from Elvis Presley.“The Creeper Workshop” and how the band is very hands on about everything, particularly with references to the video for The Honeymoon Suite.Still DIY despite being on Roadrunner and how the label give them complete creative control.Having to adopt a character on stage to perform but walking a fine line between being pretentious and stepping outside of yourself.The character is basically like putting on someone else's shoes.Playing with sincerity and appreciating where they are now.The gender and race gap in punk rock – how we need to sort out equality in the punk scene.How the key to touring is not to party every night.The chorus is the most important part of the song.Caring about song craft and and trying to be better songwriters.The Bouncing Souls, Alkaline Trio, My Chemical Romance and AFI and great choruses.The “relief” feeling of a good chorus.Appreciation of Bangers.Loads of bands were mentioned too like Ink and Dagger, Samhain, Danzig, Misfits and a bunch of others.People love talking about their art and what creative influence helped shape who they are. People enjoy knowing that their voice and their art is being taken seriously, and I hope that's what I've managed to achieve with this podcast.Creeper are brilliant guys who deserve to do well. I've no doubt they'll go on to do big things in the coming months.Enjoy the episode.Featured MusicIntro: Voodoo Puppets – Electric Chair Blues (used under CC licence, you can check it out here).Creeper - We Had a Pact,Creeper - Into the Black,Creeper - The Honeymoon Suite.I make no claim to the copyright of any of the music in this episode.LinksYou can get the first Creeper EP for free here.You can pre-order This Callous Heart here.Please check them out on Facebook and Twitter.Will also mentioned a really great English punk band called Bangers who you should check out immediately after the podcast.Thank you!My thanks are eternal to you and everyone else who has listened to the podcast and helped me get it to where it is.

WILDCARD, BITCHES!So, I went to Hevy festival 2015 and recorded a few interviews. Some were long, and some were short. This is one of the short ones. I was accompanied by my handsomely bearded friend Craig who did sound for me. We briefly talk about his beard.Some quick insight into "press" life - at festivals you are not allocated very long with the artists you want to interview. I originally only had ten minutes with Ben. This then changed to one question. Which is fine, because if you're an artist and you're talking to press all day I can see why it would get tiring.We talk a little about how their music has evolved out of writing a record they hadn't heard to now doing things that people don't expect them to do.After the interview he said he hoped he could do this again the next time they play Glasgow.
