Thanks to Lucas Film, we go straight onto the green carpet in Berlin, where the cast and creators of The Mandalorian and Grogu gathered for one of the most energetic stops on the global press tour. With fans lining the streets, stormtroopers patrolling the entrance, and Grogu‑themed spotlights sweeping the sky, the Berlin premiere delivered a blend of spectacle, nostalgia, and genuine emotion from the film's stars. This episode captures the candid moments, creative insights, and personal reflections shared by Jon Favreau, Pedro Pascal, and Sigourney Weaver as they celebrated the next chapter of the Star Wars saga.   SAVE 17% ON PLUS  

En este programa de La Fosa del Rancor analizamos el final de temporada de Maul: Shadow Lord, repasando los episodios que nos habían quedado pendientes:  Episodio 7: La llama del olvido. Episodio 8: El miedo que acecha. Episodio 9: Insólitos aliados. Episodio 10: El Señor Oscuro. Cuatro episodios que cierran una serie que ha conseguido algo muy difícil hoy en día: unir a fandom y crítica bajo un mismo consenso. Una producción con una factura técnica sublime, una dirección impecable, una banda sonora brutal y un tramo final sencillamente increíble, que nos deja con ganas desesperadas de más. Maul, Janix, Talon y la familia Lawson tendrán que afrontar su momento más oscuro. ¿Qué precio estamos dispuestos a pagar para sobrevivir? ¿Hasta dónde puede llegar alguien cuando el miedo lo consume todo? Porque en estos episodios descubriremos que, a veces, el enemigo de mi enemigo… es mi amigo. Los protagonistas se verán obligados a realizar una insólita alianza para intentar plantar cara a una fuerza imparable formada por Darth Vader, el Undécimo Hermano y Marrok, en un tramo final donde el canon pisa el acelerador y no deja respirar. Y sí… ha llegado el momento. Vader vs Maul. Aquella pregunta que muchos nos hicimos en 1999 por fin tiene respuesta. Durante años imaginamos este enfrentamiento imposible, debatimos quién merecía ocupar el lugar dominante del Lado Oscuro… y ahora el canon ha hablado. ¿Conseguirá la familia Lawson escapar de Janix de una pieza? Nos dejamos seducir por el Lado Oscuro para afrontar este desenlace… y queremos hacerlo junto a vosotros. Eso sí, sin olvidar nunca nuestra isla. Nuestro querido “Universo Expandido”. Ese rincón perdido en lo más profundo del Caribe, entre Melee Island y Phatt Island, a la derecha de Monkey Island, donde el almirante Thrawn sigue siendo EL GRAN ALMIRANTE. Y atentos, porque si quieres saber a qué mítico videojuego de la saga homenajea en varias ocasiones Maul durante este último arco… te lo contamos en el programa. Además, hablaremos de nuestras cábalas y teorías sobre las posibles claves de la futura temporada 2 de Shadow Lord, intentando descifrar hacia dónde puede dirigirse la historia tras este explosivo final. The Mandalorian & Grogu, May the 4th y Star Wars Celebration 2027. También hablamos de la futura Star Wars Celebration 2027 y de cómo fue la auténtica guerra galáctica para conseguir entradas el pasado 6 de mayo. Repasamos además la premiere celebrada en Madrid el pasado 30 de abril de la nueva película de la saga “The Mandalorian a Grogu”, donde varios miembros del podcast pudieron asistir al evento y ver los primeros 27 minutos de la película.  Sin spoilers, compartirán sus sensaciones y todo lo vivido en la alfombra verde. ¿Tiene lo que promete? ¿es un capítulo largo con presupuesto? Además, dedicaremos unos minutos a hablar del cada vez más inexistente "4 de mayo", el día de la Fuerza, que este año ha pasado prácticamente desapercibido. Más allá de un vídeo del abuelito Lucas y un montaje promocional con varios actores diciendo "Que la Fuerza te acompañe", la sensación general es que una fecha antes especial para el fandom ha tenido muy poco impacto galáctico. Grabado en la noche del 8 de mayo, montado y editado por Paco Villa. En este programa participan: Ferrán Lloret “El Arqueólogo”, Chema Mansilla, desde la revista 3DJuegos, más “Mansillita” que nunca. Y un saludo final de nuestro padrino, Jorge Foley. Todo ello dirigido, como siempre, en clave fosera de humor por la dupla Josemi y Paco Villa. Análisis, lore, Universo Expandido, humor, referencias, teorías… y seguramente alguna cosa que se nos haya escapado por el camino. Pero siempre desde el cariño, el respeto y la pasión que esta saga merece. Nos vemos la próxima semana desde la convención “Power of the Force” en Colonia, Alemania. Y poco después en las salas de los cines con “The Mandalorian and Grogu” a partir del 21 de mayo. Un podcast hecho por fans, para fans. Que la Fuerza os acompañe siempre. ♥ ¡Dale, Pacoto! ♥ Comunidad Únete al canal de WhatsApp de La Fosa del Rancor para seguir todas nuestras novedades.

The Mandalorian and Grogu debuted early footage on May the Fourth as fans were treated to the first 25 minutes of the film in IMAX, and RFR was there. We break down all the action and look forward to the film getting wide-release in a couple of weeks. We're basking in the wake of the kickass Maul: Shadow Lord season finale and the surprise appearance of a certain "Dark Lord". We go into the RFR Sound Lab to deconstruct some audio from Maul, like Sam Witwer's anguished screams getting incorporated into the sound of the lightsaber, the lightsaber itself "talking", a sound effect known as "Bone Leather" and more. And, Nielsen has revealed the numbers behind Star Wars viewership on Disney+, exposing which shows and movies are the most viewed on the platform. Find out what your fellow Star Wars fans are watching the most.

Darth Vader shows up in Maul: Shadow Lord without saying a single word — and somehow that's the most terrifying thing he's done in years. Matthew Fox is joined by Pete Wright and AK Ahab to wrap up Season 1: the Vader reveal, Devan's accelerating fall, Spybot's acid-bath farewell, and the Crimson Dawn cliffhanger hiding a very familiar face from Solo: A Star Wars Story.The core debate here is one the show earns: is Maul an anti-hero, or is Maul: Shadow Lord just cosplaying as one? All three hosts land in the same place, Maul is a villain, full stop, who generates genuine sympathy without ever earning redemption, and the show is better for refusing to let him off the hook. They work through Vader's fighting style (blunt-force strength, no Anakin artistry), the AI voice question hanging over Season 2, Devan's Anakin-parallel point of no return, and whether Lawson's sacrificial-father arc earns its place or takes the easy road.AK Ahab raises the throughline from The Clone Wars to Rebels that reframes the whole season: this encounter is likely where Maul first starts to figure out who Vader actually is, and that context makes every frame of their confrontation land differently. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

La nueva entrega de "Sección Oficial", el programa realizado por mundoplus.tv en colaboración con Film&CoTV, vuelve a poner el foco en la actualidad del cine y las series con un recorrido completo por festivales, rodajes y estrenos que marcan el pulso de la industria audiovisual. Un formato que sigue consolidándose como escaparate imprescindible para descubrir proyectos en marcha y conocer de primera mano a sus protagonistas. En esta ocasión, el programa regresa al Festival de Málaga con una nueva entrega de Alfombra Roja, donde el equipo conversa con el director chileno Juan Pablo Sallato y el actor Nicolás Zárate sobre "Hangar Rojo" que llega a las salas el 8 de mayo. La película, ambientada en el Chile de 1973, fue una de las propuestas destacadas del certamen consiguiente 4 Biznagas de Plata, y la entrevista permite adentrarse en su proceso creativo y en las claves de una historia marcada por la tensión política y emocional. El bloque de Rodajes ofrece un amplio recorrido por algunas de las producciones más relevantes que se encuentran actualmente en marcha. Entre ellas destaca "Yerma", el nuevo largometraje de Lara Izagirre, que propone una reinterpretación contemporánea en euskera de la obra de Federico García Lorca. Su rodaje comenzó el pasado 27 de abril y se desarrollará durante siete semanas en distintas localizaciones de Bilbao También en fase de producción se encuentra "Blood Brothers", el nuevo thriller de acción de Nacho Serapio, que apuesta por un enfoque internacional con rodaje en inglés y localizaciones entre Estados Unidos y Castilla-La Mancha. Una historia que mezcla acción, drama familiar y crimen en torno a un viaje desesperado que lleva a su protagonista desde Toledo hasta Nueva York y Filadelfia. Desde Tenerife llegan imágenes de "Entre olas", el nuevo proyecto de Chloé Wallace, un coming-of-age romántico que utiliza el paisaje natural de la isla como eje narrativo. Con un triángulo amoroso como punto de partida, la película incorpora además una reflexión sobre el medioambiente y el equilibrio entre desarrollo y conservación. Completa este bloque "Mi zona", el debut en el largometraje de Cristian Beteta, un thriller ambientado en los años 80 que se mueve entre el western y el terror. Rodada en Gran Canaria y Fuerteventura, la película apuesta por un uso muy marcado de las localizaciones como elemento narrativo, construyendo una atmósfera de tensión constante. El programa regresa posteriormente a la Alfombra Roja con una cita muy especial en Madrid, donde tuvo lugar el avance exclusivo de "The Mandalorian and Grogu". Allí, el equipo pudo conversar con su director, Jon Favreau, sobre este esperado salto a la gran pantalla del universo Star Wars. La película se estrenará en cines el 21 de mayo de 2026 y continuará la historia de Din Djarin y Grogu en un momento clave para la galaxia tras la caída del Imperio. El programa termina, como cada semana, repasando los estrenos en salas más destacados de la semana, encabezados por "Yo no moriré de amor", de Marta Matute, gran triunfadora del Festival de Málaga con la Biznaga de Oro a mejor película. Junto a ella llegan títulos como "Bajo tus pies", con Maribel Verdú; "Recreación de un asesinato", de Jim Sheridan; la cinta documental "Los mejores años de nuestra vida", centrada en la carrera musical de Los Hombres G; el thriller de terror dirigido por Luis Calderón "La casa en el árbol"; la película chilena "Hangar Rojo"; la esperada "Mortal Kombat II" y la propuesta familiar protagonizada por Hugh Jackman "Las ovejas detectives". Sección Oficial es un programa realizado en colaboración con Film&CoTV, consolidando una sinergia que acerca la actualidad cinematográfica a la pequeña pantalla. Todo ello está disponible en Film&CoTV, un canal imprescindible para quienes buscan el mejor cine español independiente y de autor, actualmente accesible en Tivify, Lowi TV, Vodafone TV, Runtime España y Xiaomi TV+. Además, los programas anteriores pueden verse bajo demanda en Tivify, ampliando así su alcance más allá de la emisión lineal.

Two weeks until Star Wars returns to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu! On this episode of The Mando Fan Show we assure our fellow fans to not worry about Din Djarin dying in the movie, for one main specific reason.

We also launch our biggest giveaway contest ever, ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu Challenge' where one person will win Sideshow Collectibles GROGU Hot Toy!

Actor Hemky Madera joins us for a powerful and heartfelt season finale. Best known for his fan-favorite role as “Pote” on Queen of the South, Hemky opens up like never before about his Dominican roots, growing up in Washington Heights, New York, fatherhood, marriage, Hollywood, and the long journey to making it as an actor. In this raw and funny conversation, Hemky shares how he knew he wanted to become an actor at just five years old and reveals the many jobs he worked before landing major roles, including waiter, bartender, babysitter, and driver. While audiences know him for playing intense and dangerous characters in movies and hit shows like Queen of the South, Euphoria, and The Mandalorian, Hemky explains why he is actually the complete opposite in real life: funny, loving, goofy, and always joking around. The two also dive into Dominican pride, representation in Hollywood, their respect for Manny Perez and what Zoe Saldaña’s Oscar win meant for Dominican actors and Latinos everywhere. Hemky reflects on balancing his love for the Dominican Republic and America, staying grounded through fame, and what’s next for his career, including returning to the Star Wars universe and the new season of Euphoria. This episode is full of laughter, motivation, culture, family, vulnerability… just a beautiful conversation with one of the most respected Dominican actors in Hollywood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wondering what the Hail the Guys are up to this episode? With Jay out, Robbie and Art share their thoughts on the extremely popular movie (and book) Project Hail Mary.   What did the Guys think of Ryan Gosling's latest film? Did the filmmakers do enough to have it live up to the book?   Geeks for the week include a Star Wars veteran being brought into help with the Mandalorian and Grogu movie.   Robbie shares his views from the most recent NAB in Las Vegas. Spoiler alert: it was disappointing.  And the Guys ramble a bit about a state of their favorite sci-fi franchises, before deciding this may be a future episode.  Be sure to listen to this episode which Rocky gives an enthusiastic 2 thumbs down!

Should we all for the sequel hate ragebait? Probably not. Xbox continues to make positive changes, will it mean anything? Sony suffers a legal loss, and the speculation about GTA VI's price keeps going. Daredevil gets a new status quo, while Maul cowers away. Star Wars Celebration tickets hit the market today, and boy what a cluster that was.

Darth Vader shows up in Maul: Shadow Lord episodes 9 and 10, and not a single character in the room knows what he is. Matthew and Erin close out the first season of the Maul: Shadow Lord Disney+ series with a deep dive into the finale's most jaw-dropping choices: the silent Vader entrance, the lightsaber choreography that deliberately echoes Return of the Jedi, and what it means that this version of Vader is barely two years removed from being Anakin Skywalker.Why was keeping Vader silent both an ethical and a narrative win. How Maul starts putting together who Vader actually is, laying the groundwork for Rebels. Devon's fall to the dark side, Daki's off-screen death, and Spy-Bot's brutal final moment. The Inquisitors feeling more genuinely dangerous here than in previous animated appearances. And a real debate about Dryden Voss's arrival; was it the right call, especially with a recast voice in place of Paul Bettany?Matthew and Erin also pull out for the longer view: what Vader's inability to clean up this mission might mean for his standing with the Emperor, how the Lawson sacrifice played, and what pieces are left on the board for a potential season two. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

SUMMARYJacob and Evan break down the explosive finale of Maul: Shadow Lord, focusing on Darth Vader's terrifying arrival, Maul's long-term manipulation strategy, and Devon's emotional turn toward the dark side. Rather than centering purely on lightsaber action, the discussion dives into the psychology behind fear, revenge, grief, and corruption.The episode explores how Maul ultimately succeeds without truly defeating Vader, using Daki's death and Devon's pain to gain influence and control. The hosts also compare this portrayal of Vader to other Star Wars appearances, arguing this may be one of the strongest depictions of him outside the original trilogy.The conversation expands into Star Wars storytelling as a whole, discussing where the series ranks among Clone Wars, Rebels, Andor, and Revenge of the Sith, while also examining how music, visuals, and pacing elevated the finale into one of the most emotionally intense Star Wars stories in years.KEYWORDSDarth Vader Maul finaleMaul Shadow Lord breakdownDevon dark side theoryStar Wars finale analysisDarth Vader horror scenesCrimson Dawn explainedMaul vs Vader discussionStar Wars psychologyRevenge of the Sith comparisonsClone Wars vs Maul Shadow LordStar Wars character manipulationDevon Darth Talon theoryTIMESTAMPS00:00:01 - Why this finale made Darth Vader feel unstoppable00:00:42 - Jacob and Evan react to Episodes 9 and 1000:02:05 - Full recap of the finale and Maul's manipulation plan00:03:25 - Comedy ad break and “Dead Dads Club” joke00:04:47 - Initial reactions and favorite moments from the finale00:05:23 - Maul's manipulation of Daki and Devon explained00:06:50 - Icarus' sacrifice and the best action scenes00:09:07 - The incredible Inquisitor entrance sequence00:10:48 - Best visual shots and cinematic moments in the finale00:12:02 - Horror-style Vader entrance and Mandalorian deaths00:13:22 - Ranking Maul: Shadow Lord against other Star Wars stories00:20:13 - Maul manipulating Devon through dreams and the Force00:22:06 - Devon potentially becoming Darth Talon theory00:23:12 - Will Devon return to the light side?00:26:04 - Why Daki's death shocked the hosts00:30:21 - How knowing Star Wars canon affects tension in prequels00:33:32 - Lawson survival theory and Devon's future00:38:21 - Starkiller and Force Unleashed references explained00:40:15 - Musical callbacks to Revenge of the Sith and Duel of the Fates00:42:42 - Why Vader's appearance exceeded expectations00:44:46 - The psychology of why Vader feels terrifying00:49:01 - Fallen Order comparisons and “run away from Vader” energy00:51:00 - Best portrayal of Vader outside the original trilogy00:57:37 - Vader's theatrical intimidation tactics analyzed01:02:15 - Predictions for Crimson Dawn and Season 201:04:46 - Was Daki right to reject the dark side?

We have a PROPOSAL (Graham, the sound effect)!!! We learn the real reason Henry went to London, Fanny doubts Henry's intentions, Henry comes to dinner, and Mary and Fanny exchange letters. Topics discussed include the Crawfords' breeding and capacity for change, Fanny's sleep paralysis demon, leaving unpleasant conversations, Lady Bertram's privilege, Fanny's OOO message, and the ultimate question of why Henry is in love with Fanny.A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spoilers 39:55-42:15!!!Patron Study Questions come from Avi, Linnea, and Emily. Topics discussed include Mary's intimacy with Fanny and whether it's genuine, William's promotion and whether Henry is using it to manipulate Fanny, and whether the family will find out about the proposal.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include how this proposal is different from other proposals, why Henry proposed at this moment, what William's promotion means for Fanny, and the end of Volume II.Funniest Quote: While her heart was still bounding with joy and gratitude on William's behalf, she could not be severely resentful of anything that injured only herself; and after having twice drawn back her hand, and twice attempted in vain to turn away from him, she got up, and said only, with much agitation, “Don't, Mr. Crawford, pray don't! I beg you would not. This is a sort of talking which is very unpleasant to me. I must go away. I cannot bear it.”Questions moving forward: Will Henry try again? Will he change? What will happen with Mary and Edmund?Who wins the chapters?
