Send us Fan MailWelcome to our 121st episode of the Triple FFF and our early summer confab about two big Hollywood tentpole entries that crashed and burned miserably at the box office in the wake of Gen Z's love affair with indie influencer horror to the point where Gen X has to face the facts and realize our day of IP dominance is over, we're talking about 2026's Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Martin Scorcese, Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver along with Masters of The Universe, directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendez, Idris Elba, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, James Purefoy, Charlotte Riley and Jared Leto. Back again for more is Mr. 80's Showbiz Trivia himself, Dr. David Johnson, DMD. Before we let these critical fists fly in a flurry of thunder punches, the synopses: In The Mandalorian and Grogu, ace bounty hunter Din Djarin and his adorable little green pal Grogu team up with the New Republic for a dangerous mission: deliver Rotta the Hutt, the kidnapped son of Jabba the Hutt, back to his ruthless gangster relatives known only as the Twins. In exchange, the Republic will get critical intel on the whereabouts of several high-ranking Imperial loyalists, still on the run. In Masters of the Universe, the evil Skeletor seizes control of the planet Eternia and enslaves Prince Adam's royal parents, forcing the young noble into exile on Earth. Stuck living as a regular human in a soul-crushing and emasculating human resources job for a nameless corporation, Adam quietly yearns for the adventure and heroics he was born for. When Eternian warrior princess Teela shows up on Earth chased by Skeletor's mindless henchman Beast Man, Adam finally gets his chance — he returns home with Teela to confront Skeletor and the forces of darkness and to claim his destiny as the most powerful being in the universe… He-Man. Are these two phenomenal failures actually fabulous? Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/7DcNzDMNfko

It's a rare "Flop House in the Aisles," as we took to the theater to see the tepidly-received (though still wildly successful) latest Star Wars thing, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU.

In our annual Pride episode, Matthew is joined by film and culture critic Richard Lawson for a living room conversation over cocktails. Starting with Richard's fresh-out-of-the-theater reaction to He-Man: Masters of the Universe and Matthew's just-finished viewing of Richard Gadd's HBO series Half Man and what they have in common, they move into queer coding in animation, Pedro Pascal's career calculus, the relentless nihilism of Half Man versus the false resolution of Masters, and what it means when a creator tears themselves open onscreen.Follow this podcast on Instagram hereFollow Matt Phillp here / Follow Erin Hosier here / Follow Elizabeth Thompson hereGet full access to Tell Me About Your Father at tellmeaboutyourfather.substack.com/subscribe Get full access to Tell Me About Your Father at tellmeaboutyourfather.substack.com/subscribe

Ikvällens program blandar vi Aliens, skumma kontorsutrymmen, Star Wars och återbesöker en film som både fått hat och kärlek. Vi har varit på bio och sett Steven Spielbergs nya sci-fi-äventyr DISCLOSURE DAY med Emily Blunt och Josh O´Connor. Det blir konspirationsteorier, utomjordingar och en massa jakt tvärs över USA. Är Spielberg tillbaka i fin form? Thomas har varit på bio med lillson och sett skräck-fenomenet BACKROOMS. Filmstudion A24 plockade upp Youtube-fenomenet Kane Parsons och gjort en långfilm med honom på hans kortfilms-serie Backrooms. Funkar filmen i stort format? Thomas har också varit på bio med lillson och spanat in den första Star Wars-filmen på sju år : THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU. Tv-serien med Pedro Pascal som är omformat till biofilm. Funkar det eller är det bara en komprimerad variant av säsong 4? Och Tomas hade en särskild önskan att återbesöka Zack Snyders film SUCKER PUNCH så det är väl klart att vi gjorde det. Nu med äldre ögon... Tomas bjussar även på ett par rykande färska Tv-serie tips. Där har ni kvällens meny. Det är bara att hugga in!
This week on Fantastic Forum, we are heading from a galaxy far, far away to the blood-soaked battlefields of World War II with two major new releases. First up is The Mandalorian and Grogu, the next chapter in the Star Wars saga starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin alongside Grogu, the galaxy's favorite Force-sensitive foundling. Expanding the story beyond the Disney Plus series, the film promises larger scale action, new worlds, and dangerous enemies as the Mandalorian and Grogu continue their journey through a changing galaxy. We are breaking down the return of familiar faces, the future of this corner of Star Wars, and whether the jump from streaming to the big screen delivers the epic adventure fans are hoping for. Then we turn to Operation: Iron Coffin #1 from IDW, written by Kenny Porter with art by Tyrell Cannon. Set during World War II, the story follows a resurrected Dracula teaming with Allied forces on a desperate mission to stop a Nazi vampire plague from escaping a heavily fortified train packed with soldiers, monsters, and supernatural horrors. Mixing gothic horror, pulpy action, and wartime espionage, the series throws the legendary vampire into a brutal fight for redemption against an evil even greater than himself.

The release of a new Star Wars film wouldn't be complete without checking in with filmmaker Kyle Newman to get his thoughts on the latest addition to the saga. Kyle joins us In The Cantina with his review of The Mandalorian and Grogu and provides insight as both an industry insider and Star Wars superfan. We've collected a ton of cool interview highlights from Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Pedro Pascal discussing the Mando movie and screenwriter Damon Lindelof recently spoke about the Rey "New Jedi Order" film script he worked on before getting fired off the project. We hear what he had to say. Plus, listener feedback, a new RFR parody song, and we pay tribute to Marcia Lucas and Tom Kane.

Com muita ação e um fiapo de história, filme derivado da série "The Mandalorian" traz novamente Pedro Pascal no papel-título, acompanhado do pequeno e poderoso Grogu. Dirigido por Jon Favreau, criador da série, o longa-metragem traz o caçador de recompensas Din Djarin percorrendo a galáxia atrás de ex-líderes militares do Império. No caminho, ele e Grogu recebem uma missão do clã Hutt para resgatar Rotta, filho do falecido Jabba. Grogu continua roubando a cena, mas o enredo do filme não engata e frustra quem espera saber mais sobre os personagens e ver a trajetória deles avançar dentro da franquia "Star Wars".

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu” from 2026 starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, Steve Blum, Jeremy Allen White & Martin Scorsese.
Jason, Rachel and Jesh continue the Thumb War Star Wars rewatch with a spoiler-filled review of The Mandalorian and Grogu. Is it a real Star Wars movie, or does it feel like The Mandalorian Season 4 got squeezed into a theatrical release? We discuss Grogu as a character vs. Grogu as a toy, Pedro Pascal's helmet-based performance, the lack of stakes, the surprisingly strong opening sequence, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Rotta the Hutt, Dave Filoni cameos, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Baby Yoda still has the juice. Ash came in with a more generous take. Jason and Rachel came in with notes. Many, many notes. Spoilers for The Mandalorian and Grogu and the broader Star Wars universe.

THIS IS THE WAY! There's a new a Star Wars movie out now so of course Bill Z and Steve take a break from comic books to bring back our good friends podcast veteran Craig Lantz and The Reel Gay Movie's Mike Lovins to discuss The Mandalorian and Grogu!! The movie was directed by Jon Favreau, who co-wrote the film with Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor. Based on the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian, the film finds Pedro Pascal returning to star as Din Djarin/The Mandalorian alongside Jeremy Allen White, Jonny Coyne, Martin Scorsese, and Sigourney Weaver. Set after the fall of the Galactic Empire and the end of the Manadalorian series, Djarin and his apprentice Grogu are enlisted by the New Republic as bounty hunters to track down former Imperials. A new mission involving the rescue of Jabba the Hut's son does not go as planned and we find Mando and Grogu trying to set things right. So hit play to hear Bill, Steve, Craig and Mike talk about this latest tale set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!!

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt see if Disney can get Star Wars back up off the mat with ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu'—where the cuteness meter, the “is that really Pedro Pascal?” question, and at least one eyebrow-raising cameo all come into play. Then they hop over to Disney+ for ‘Punisher: One Last Kill', with Jon Bernthal bringing the rage, the trauma, and a body count that suggests OSHA should get involved. After that, Chris does what he does best: hurts Matt's bank account with the latest physical media temptations, including a fresh batch of SteelBooks and a couple of Criterion classics.00:00-25:28: Intro/The Mandalorian and Grogu25:29-36:31: The Punisher: One Last Kill36:32-42:26: Physical Media Picks42:27-44:45: Wrap UpTheme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

Episode Summary The Boys is officially over, and Frank and Thomas dig into a series finale that split the internet right down the middle. They break down why Homelander's fall hits harder than the backlash suggests, where Kimiko's powers felt rushed, and how Butcher's heel turn landed for comic readers versus everyone else, before scoring both the finale and the full 2019 to now run. From there, they jump to the big screen for The Mandalorian and Grogu, a movie they both enjoyed while admitting the plot is paper thin and the whole thing feels like stitched-together episodes. The centerpiece is a long-awaited sit down with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who returns as Uncle Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender season two on Netflix and plays Captain Carson Teva in the Star Wars universe. He opens up about adapting a beloved animated series, why he avoids the deep lore cuts when building a character, the reckoning Iroh faces in the live-action version, and the everyman appeal of Carson Teva. He also reflects on Kim's Convenience, the season six that never happened, and why he thinks tearing down something new before watching it is a waste of energy. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Intro and Weekly Catch-Up 00:03:52 The Boys Series Finale Review 00:25:27 The Mandalorian and Grogu Review 00:47:01 Interview With Paul Sun-Hyung Lee 01:20:55 Rapid Fire Questions 01:24:06 Network Updates and Weekly Recommendations Key Takeaways The Boys finale earned an 8 out of 10 from both hosts, with the full series landing at a 9, praised for ending on a hopeful note that the good guys can actually win if they stick together. Homelander losing his powers reveals who he always was underneath the facade, a takedown the hosts rank among the best villain endings on TV, even if the way he lost them through Kimiko felt like a quick fix. The Mandalorian and Grogu works as crowd-pleasing, kid-friendly Star Wars but lacks a real character arc, scoring around a 6 to 7 with both hosts feeling it plays like several episodes cut together. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee approaches adaptation by serving the scripts rather than chasing deep lore, and the live action Avatar gives Iroh a real reckoning for his role in the siege of Ba Sing Se that the cartoon glossed over. Carson Teva works because audiences connect with the grounded everyman in a universe full of Jedi, a role compared to Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, and even R2-D2. Kim's Convenience remains a point of deep pride for Lee, who still wishes fans had gotten the Appa and Jung reconciliation from the original play, but stands by going out on top. Quotes "When those were stripped away, he no longer could act like the same person." (Thomas, on Homelander) "The good guys can just straight up win." (Frank, on the finale's message) "We're so specifically Korean that it becomes universal." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on Kim's Convenience) "If you don't watch it, you can't talk smack about it." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on hating something unseen) "Go out on top if you're going to go out."

This episode of All Pop, No Culture welcomes special guest Eric before diving into three major topics: Mandalorian and Grogu, The Boys series finale, and the horror breakout Obsession. Kevin reviews Mandalorian and Grogu, calling it a fun and accessible Star Wars movie even if it doesn't feel essential to the larger story. The conversation expands into Pedro Pascal's current run, Star Wars movie strategy, and whether this should have just been another season of TV. The main discussion centers on The Boys finale, with all three hosts debating whether the show truly stuck the landing. They compare the live-action series to the comics, talk about the pacing and politics of the final season, and break down Homelander, Butcher, Kimiko, Frenchie, and the setup for future spin-offs. The episode closes with a strong conversation about Obsession, a horror film that both Kevin and Andrew found brutal, unsettling, and highly effective. They discuss the central performance, the monkey's-paw-style premise, and why the film is connecting with audiences in a big way.
Send us Fan MailThe first Star Wars film in seven years is finally here, and we're breaking down The Mandalorian and Grogu with a mostly spoiler-free review. Dan saw it opening night, Mike saw it the night before we recorded, and we are not on the same page — which makes for one of our most honest conversations yet.We cover everything: the opening weekend box office, whether the film delivers on years of buildup, how it connects (or doesn't) to the Mandalorian series, the new villain Rotta the Hutt, Sigourney Weaver's role, Pedro Pascal's presence in the film, the missing opening crawl, and what the production budget decisions may have cost the final product. We also get into what this film means for the future of Star Wars on the big screen — including the upcoming Ryan Gosling Starfighter film — and whether Disney and Lucasfilm have a real path forward.If you're a Star Wars fan who just saw the movie and want to hear two brothers who care deeply about this franchise actually dig into it, this is the episode.

*Spoilers throughout. You've been warned. Michael went to see The Mandalorian and Grogu as a lifelong Star Wars nerd and Pedro Pascal fan. He left thinking about wetland tipping points, cryosphere feedbacks, and sacrifice zones - which, for this show, tracks. This episode tours four planets as ecological field sites: a remote ice world doing load-bearing planetary work, a deliberately degraded Hutt swamp holding medicine in its margins, a neon urban underworld where ecology persists in the cracks, and a volcanic home in slow, hopeful succession. Along the way we meet characters, like Gatori, the bog-dwelling herbalist who heals Mando after a dragonsnake bite, and Grogu building a mud hut in the Nal Hutta swamp while his dad recovers is the most quietly profound act of restoration in the whole movie. We also get into who gets to decide what a landscape becomes, why the Outer Rim has always been the sacrifice zone regardless of who's running the Senate, and what the Star Wars universe has been teaching us about ecosystem health, justice, and recovery for fifty years. The hope in this film — like the hope in restoration work — lives not in institutions, but in relationships: between a Mandalorian and his foundling, between a people and their place, between pioneer species and bare rock that is slowly becoming soil. Star Wars Canon: Where to Learn More Most of the creature and character detail in this episode comes from Wookieepedia — the fan-maintained Star Wars wiki.
