The Mandalorian & Grogu Review · Brainwaves

• 0:08
  Hey there, my name is Jason Riley.
• 0:09
  You are listening or watching to watching Two Shot Tuesday, the
• 0:14
  show where two guys have two shots of alcohol and talk about
• 0:17
  all kinds of things except when there's three guys.
• 0:20
  And that's what today's episode is all about with me.
• 0:23
  As always, if you can see him on your screen, to see him is to
• 0:26
  love him. Barry T Nixon and the movie guy
• 0:30
  who you could not love more. Probably our most in demand
• 0:34
  guest that has ever been at Two Shot Studios.
• 0:37
  Rob, let's start with you. How are you doing today?
• 0:38
  Well, I mean, you've just filled my head with things I shouldn't
• 0:42
  be thinking about how much I'm loves it.
• 0:44
  I got I got to go, guys. No, I feel great.
• 0:46
  Everything's. Great, Barry, how are you?
• 0:49
  I'm doing great too, Jay. Thanks for asking.
• 0:51
  We're in the middle of a heat wave at the time of this
• 0:53
  recording. Heat wave, heat wave.
• 0:55
  We should be getting to the public pool, but instead we're
• 0:57
  recording an episode and a very valuable one because Rob, you
• 1:01
  and I just went and saw The Mandalorian and Grogu and we're
• 1:05
  going to break that down and let our audience know if it's worth
• 1:09
  your movie going dollar. Absolutely.
• 1:11
  All right, gentlemen, 100% I can't wait to hear about how
• 1:13
  this movie tracked for you. And I'll tell you my thoughts.
• 1:16
  I haven't seen it, my thoughts about the franchise as a whole.
• 1:19
  But first, as always, we have a format on this show.
• 1:22
  Barry, why don't you kick us off?
• 1:24
  What are you having to consume tonight while we talk about
• 1:26
  this? This is the good stuff, Jay, and
• 1:29
  I only save it really for once a week when I'm with you and this
• 1:33
  and this case, our very valued guest, the one and only Rob
• 1:37
  Pete. So I'm having some Bushmills
• 1:39
  that's been aged for 12. Luxury luxuries.
• 1:42
  I can't even say it luxuries. 12 years.
• 1:45
  OK, 12 years baby and going to you guys, Rob, what have you got
• 1:50
  over there? I'm drinking a very special
• 1:53
  edition of President's Choice sparkling water.
• 1:56
  It's grape soda, flavored water. It's basically like drinking
• 2:00
  that stuff that you used to get at the donut store fountain,
• 2:04
  like grape drink. It tastes like that, but there's
• 2:07
  no sugar and it's just water. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's a
• 2:10
  fucking miracle, guys. Yeah, food science has come a
• 2:14
  long way, Jay, what have you got?
• 2:16
  I have got, you know, I went to my local today and just like
• 2:19
  your local, they don't have this available anymore.
• 2:21
  So I'm getting down to the last few sips of the Jameson Black
• 2:25
  barrel. A goodie, A goodie that not a
• 2:27
  lot on offer this this spring, apparently.
• 2:31
  Gentlemen, to your good health. Cheers back at you.
• 2:36
  So well aged. I mean, this is well aged guys.
• 2:39
  Yeah, and it used to just be called grape drink as well.
• 2:43
  Yeah, like they couldn't even call it any soda or anything
• 2:46
  'cause they didn't really fit that, you know, scientific or
• 2:49
  chemical definition. So they just have to call it.
• 2:51
  Juice. Grape juice.
• 2:53
  Yeah, Yeah, it's not. It's not orange juice, It's
• 2:55
  orange drink. Yeah, it's like.
• 2:58
  What do you do with it? You drink it.
• 2:59
  OK, well, that's what it is. Then.
• 3:00
  It's drink. Yeah.
• 3:02
  All right. Here we go.
• 3:04
  Look, Big, big movie. The very first Star Wars movie
• 3:07
  to debut in theaters in seven years to high anticipation.
• 3:11
  We'll get into the numbers of it a little bit later on, but let's
• 3:14
  talk about as you like. As you as you know, I like to
• 3:17
  hear is the entire journey, including the build up to see
• 3:21
  Mandalorian and Grogu. Rob, I made a prediction.
• 3:24
  I'm not sure if Barry shared it with you.
• 3:25
  We released it as a short on what you might say about it.
• 3:28
  I'm wondering how close I came. You revealed that.
• 3:31
  In your own. Time, yeah.
• 3:32
  Let's take us through the build up.
• 3:34
  I'm going to let Barry talk about the build up because there
• 3:36
  was a bit of a kerfuffle getting it together because of weather.
• 3:38
  So oh, yeah, there's a weather thing.
• 3:40
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'll let you, I'll let you
• 3:42
  take us to the theater and then we'll, we'll, we'll get in the
• 3:45
  theater. But OK, it was a small
• 3:47
  kerfuffle. It was raining, was pissing
• 3:49
  rain. It was like end of the world.
• 3:51
  It was like Noah's Ark should be built while the rain was coming
• 3:54
  down. You know, if if you were doing
• 3:55
  it, then you're already too late, you're dead.
• 3:57
  However, you know, I called an Uber and so I picked Rob up on
• 4:00
  the way, so not too bad. We got in the Uber.
• 4:04
  It's gridlock. It is gridlock.
• 4:06
  Every street you look down, it's bumper to bumper.
• 4:08
  Now at the time of this recording, the World Cup is not
• 4:11
  on. So why is it so busy?
• 4:12
  We don't know. Just because it was raining, I
• 4:14
  guess. The rain we.
• 4:15
  Eventually get to the theater, we're a little sweaty or a
• 4:17
  little angry. We're coming up against it.
• 4:19
  We're missing the commercial, Jay, and nobody likes to miss
• 4:22
  the commercials at the movies. Thankfully, we got there in
• 4:25
  time. We've got our corn, found our
• 4:26
  seats, our same seats we always have.
• 4:29
  And we didn't miss a single one of those depressing Save the
• 4:32
  Children and cancer commercials. Yeah, we got them all to.
• 4:34
  Play and we got. All six of them?
• 4:36
  Yep. Movie.
• 4:37
  Yeah, exactly. Really depressing.
• 4:40
  So that's the build up and then it started.
• 4:42
  Rob, what was your previous impression?
• 4:44
  I want to hear previous. Was there a Masters of the
• 4:46
  Universe preview before this movie?
• 4:48
  There was, wasn't there? No, but there was an Odyssey in
• 4:51
  full screen IMAX. Right.
• 4:53
  That's what it was, yeah. That's what it was.
• 4:54
  But yeah, sadly, Master of the Universe was notably missing,
• 4:57
  but I am very excited about that.
• 4:59
  Well, that's for another show, though.
• 5:00
  Yeah, of course. All right.
• 5:01
  So this was in IMAX? That's.
• 5:04
  In 3D. We're wearing glasses again,
• 5:06
  Jay. First time First time wearing
• 5:07
  glasses in quite a while. Yeah, I didn't remember the last
• 5:10
  time we did. What was this like?
• 5:12
  Take us to Rob. What did we've now begun?
• 5:15
  It, it was passable, although as far as 3D stuff was concerned,
• 5:18
  actually my glasses I have, I wear, I just wear like a sort of
• 5:22
  like HD vision, sort of like glasses that just make my, my
• 5:26
  vision pop a bit. My sight's pretty good when it
• 5:28
  when it comes to movies, so near sightedness or whatever, but I
• 5:31
  still wear them because it just makes everything a little more
• 5:33
  crisp. But I those when I put the 3D
• 5:35
  glasses on, they kind of were slipping halfway down my
• 5:37
  glasses. So I asked Barry and I knew it
• 5:39
  was a bit of a like, I don't want to do this to him, but
• 5:41
  maybe we could swap and I'll see if yours fit on my glasses
• 5:44
  better because it was they fit fine normally, but with my
• 5:47
  glasses, it became more of a thing.
• 5:48
  And he was like, well, sure. And I tried them and sure
• 5:52
  enough, those one were fine really.
• 5:54
  So 3D was fine, Barry to the rest.
• 5:56
  Of the other one again if I could just.
• 5:58
  Say. Very odd.
• 6:00
  Like a Saint Bernard bringing you some rum when you're
• 6:03
  trapped. Yeah, it's. 100 percent, 100%.
• 6:07
  All right, so we get through. We get through the debacle of
• 6:10
  the glasses. Now we've got a long time ago in
• 6:12
  a Galaxy far, far away. Does it start with that?
• 6:15
  Can you tell us that? It doesn't have that.
• 6:17
  It basically just kind of has a has a blurb about where the
• 6:20
  Mandalorians at just very quick sort of based on on the shows
• 6:25
  that have happened already. So it kind of explains where
• 6:26
  they're at and how they're they're currently out there
• 6:29
  doing bounties basically for the rebellion or for for the
• 6:31
  leftover, sort of like I don't know what they're they're trying
• 6:34
  to create. I don't know what it's called.
• 6:35
  I forget whatever. New alliance.
• 6:37
  The new alliance, yeah. The New Republic, maybe?
• 6:40
  The New Republic. Yeah, that's it.
• 6:41
  OK. So he's he's sort of running
• 6:44
  running bounties for Sigourney Weaver's character, who is sort
• 6:47
  of in charge of that, I guess in charge of doling out this this
• 6:50
  stuff. And she's an X wing pilot and
• 6:52
  and probably a commander of some kind.
• 6:54
  So that's kind of where the movie starts, and I will say
• 6:58
  that now. Now, based on your prediction, I
• 7:00
  think you were saying that I think Rob's gonna think that
• 7:02
  this is kind of a equivalent to watching a few episodes of the
• 7:06
  show. Like a good episode, but not the
• 7:08
  best episode, not the. Best of my.
• 7:09
  Thinking it would be like you've seen better.
• 7:11
  Episodes you were right on. And it's literally like watching
• 7:14
  maybe three. Yeah, have a good one.
• 7:17
  It's like it's like watching 3 back-to-back episodes, maybe 4
• 7:21
  if if maybe one was longer than the other, that type of thing.
• 7:24
  Yeah, the first, the first episode is literally the first
• 7:27
  act. You can hell where the episode
• 7:28
  would have ended. They they go on the bounty, they
• 7:31
  get they do the bounty, the bounty's done.
• 7:33
  That's the end of the episode. That's about 45.
• 7:35
  Hug it out they. They jump a hug it out,
• 7:38
  everyone's happy. Barry's getting up, then leave.
• 7:40
  Ready to leave? Well, see you later.
• 7:41
  Leave, but not yet. Yeah.
• 7:43
  So that's kind of how that went, and I guess we shouldn't get too
• 7:46
  deep into spoiler territory in case I don't know how popular
• 7:49
  this movie is, to be honest. I don't think it's doing super
• 7:51
  well so. We're stopping.
• 7:53
  Like 90 million like opening. Yeah, we're not opening at a
• 7:56
  lower budget. This is the lowest budgeted Star
• 7:59
  Wars big screen epic ever. And we're just opening.
• 8:02
  It will make money. What was that we're going to
• 8:04
  get? Into the worst opening, but it
• 8:05
  might make numbers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:07
  Alright, had the lowest. Budget.
• 8:09
  So yeah, I, I think, I think there's just not a lot of I
• 8:12
  think there's not a lot of excitement because of how Star
• 8:14
  Wars has gone recently. And then really you're giving us
• 8:17
  Mandalorian that we've been watching on Disney Plus for not
• 8:20
  for free, but kind of like for watching for free now we're
• 8:23
  paying OK. So yes, it does have a really
• 8:26
  great spectacular, sort of like action sequences, maybe more, I
• 8:30
  would say probably 25 to 30% more visual effects and stuff
• 8:35
  that make it look more like a movie, but nothing I don't think
• 8:38
  they could have really done. Maybe a couple of set pieces
• 8:41
  they couldn't have done in the TV show, but for the most part,
• 8:43
  they probably could have pulled some of it off.
• 8:46
  If you see in the commercials, there's those at the walkers and
• 8:50
  stuff that they kind of go up against.
• 8:52
  They probably wouldn't have done that in the series.
• 8:53
  They might have used smaller versions of that stuff in the
• 8:56
  series. But so I don't know that that's
• 8:58
  about it. Barry, what did you think about
• 8:59
  the first sort of like bit of the movie?
• 9:01
  Yeah, and I mean, I was in, you know, like right away.
• 9:05
  I thought the story started pretty well.
• 9:06
  I get it. Did you know it didn't drag as
• 9:10
  we got a little deeper in, though, I did find that there
• 9:13
  were a couple of sequences that maybe could have been shorter.
• 9:16
  I did like the fact that we got to meet Jabba the hot sun son.
• 9:19
  I didn't know he had a son. And he's also a son who's
• 9:21
  jacked. He's the only member of the Hut
• 9:24
  who actually has a gym membership.
• 9:26
  And now he's like a gladiator on a foreign planet.
• 9:29
  And so that's how he's making his living.
• 9:30
  So that's kind of cool. And he, of course, you know,
• 9:33
  eventually, well, right away when we meet him, he's very
• 9:36
  clear about saying I'm not like my dad.
• 9:39
  And so there's a kind of a long him trying to plead his case.
• 9:42
  And hey, my dad was a gangster, my dad was ruthless.
• 9:45
  That's not me. Even though I just killed a guy
• 9:48
  5 minutes ago in the gladiatorial arena doesn't
• 9:52
  matter, it was still cool to see and he looks just like Jabba.
• 9:55
  Basically it's like an in shape Jabba, right?
• 9:57
  His face. Rob, I don't you notice that,
• 9:59
  but the. Face the same nose and yeah.
• 10:02
  Same eyes. Yeah, exactly same.
• 10:04
  Like even mouth movements. So it's all in the arms and the
• 10:07
  and the shoulders and that's where muscles are.
• 10:09
  Chest. What about?
• 10:10
  Picture any picture. Not so much.
• 10:13
  So much. Like beefy Skip, he was beefy.
• 10:15
  Like he was, he was thicker and, you know, I mean like he was
• 10:18
  beefy all around. Yeah.
• 10:20
  Little Jack, he was like a like a long rolly, like a long thick
• 10:24
  Roly Poly guy, you know what I mean?
• 10:26
  But he could move quick, which was, I mean, that's not a
• 10:29
  characteristic you often associate with the hot.
• 10:32
  But we learned more about them, which was kind of cool.
• 10:34
  And I don't know whether we visited their home world.
• 10:36
  I asked Rob about this afterwards.
• 10:37
  Whether that was the home world, You don't really know.
• 10:39
  It was a world where they happen to be living.
• 10:42
  I don't think it was the home world.
• 10:43
  They've made their home on that world.
• 10:45
  So yeah, they have taken, no, basically taken over that world,
• 10:49
  yeah. Yeah, his in the comics, his
• 10:51
  sister is quite a major bounty hunter, I believe.
• 10:54
  Or not a bounty hunter. Like she's a major mob boss.
• 10:57
  I'm not sure if she was ever. Yeah.
• 10:59
  You're talking about Jabba's sister?
• 11:00
  Yeah, was there ever a sister? Yeah, so I think these are these
• 11:03
  are his brother and sister, correct The the.
• 11:05
  Well, there's the twins. I'm not sure exactly how they
• 11:08
  tie to him, but we, we rata is, you know, he was the main Hut
• 11:12
  and he's the son. Son.
• 11:14
  Yeah. Which again, I don't think
• 11:16
  anyone knew that he even had his son.
• 11:18
  I don't know. No, we, we did.
• 11:19
  There was, it's part of the, it's part of the Clone Wars
• 11:22
  stuff. There he was in the Clone Wars
• 11:24
  as a baby, like, like so it would have been 25 years or 25
• 11:28
  years ago, I guess somewhere around there.
• 11:29
  He was a baby and he was, he was helped by the Rebel.
• 11:32
  The rebels helped him because he was kind of outcast as a baby
• 11:36
  and and he was a bit precocious as a baby and stuff.
• 11:39
  But he's grown up obviously just doing his own thing and finding
• 11:42
  his own way. And this is this is how he's
• 11:43
  found his own way. He's actually played by Jeremy
• 11:45
  Ellen White, who's from that show The Bear.
• 11:48
  So he was voiced by a decently well liked actor, you know,
• 11:52
  Yeah. Oh, just just really quickly,
• 11:54
  just really quickly, just on the subject of voicing kind of a
• 11:56
  cool thing, Martin Scorsese voices a character in this film.
• 12:00
  A pretty minor intro character that happens near the beginning,
• 12:04
  but he's a, he's sort of an informant type character.
• 12:07
  I wonder, I guess he's a fan of Star Wars.
• 12:09
  He was. He was easily, I would say top
• 12:12
  three voices in the entire movie.
• 12:15
  Like, he was very good. Yeah, he was surprisingly good.
• 12:17
  He was engaging. No, not many other people in
• 12:20
  this movie were super engaging. I would say Jeremy Allen White's
• 12:22
  Road of the Hut was a bit engaging.
• 12:24
  He was an interesting character. But they obviously this is where
• 12:27
  the movie starts to fall apart a bit, I think, is that these
• 12:29
  characters are all interesting to some degree.
• 12:31
  They have they have places where they could be interesting, but
• 12:34
  there's not enough of them. And I think Rd. of the The Road
• 12:36
  of the fuck, Rd. of the fuck could have.
• 12:39
  He could have actually been part of the group for longer.
• 12:42
  I think he was kind of in and out of the movie.
• 12:44
  And I think that's kind of, I mean, I guess it's difficult to
• 12:47
  have a giant Hut traveling around with you everywhere you
• 12:49
  go. Well, that's.
• 12:50
  The thing you remember that one scene, again, these are minor
• 12:52
  spoilers, but there was a scene where like Rati even said he
• 12:55
  couldn't even reach the controls inside the ship.
• 12:58
  He's too big for the cockpit. So he's not really anything but
• 13:01
  ballast, baby. He would just be slowing them
• 13:03
  down. So I can I kind of see why they
• 13:05
  wouldn't incorporate. It is too bad because he was, he
• 13:07
  was an interesting character and I wish there was more of him,
• 13:11
  you know what I mean? Because it was, he was there.
• 13:13
  But he's a very sympathetic character as well.
• 13:15
  Yeah, he is. Before we move on one thing
• 13:18
  else, another thing that we want more of is a shot because there
• 13:21
  are two shots in every show and absolutely about 3/4 of the way
• 13:24
  through. So Barry, same thing for you.
• 13:27
  Same thing brother, some 12 years.
• 13:29
  Courtesy of our good friends at Bushmills, Rob.
• 13:32
  Same thing, same ZS over here. All right, here's to you guys.
• 13:37
  Cheers, cheers. Cheers.
• 13:40
  All right, so was there anything genuinely surprising about this
• 13:45
  movie that would have made it stood out and said This is why
• 13:47
  they made it a movie and not simply an extension of a season?
• 13:51
  Not in my opinion. No, Barry, Yeah.
• 13:53
  Because I didn't know anything about Jabba having a son.
• 13:57
  I guess that was the only surprise for me.
• 13:59
  And the fact that we got to learn a little bit more about
• 14:01
  the huts as kind of a species. Maybe that's that's the only
• 14:05
  thing for me anyway. But like Rob said, he already
• 14:07
  kind of knew about that from watching the Clone Wars series.
• 14:09
  So yeah, I don't know. No, it didn't really.
• 14:11
  And we talked about this on the walk home.
• 14:13
  There wasn't too much in the way of furtherance of the overall
• 14:16
  story. Like, it's not like Grogu got
• 14:18
  any closer to finding his relatives or whatever he's.
• 14:22
  Trying to get. Home eventually, right?
• 14:24
  I don't, I think. That's part of the story, right?
• 14:26
  He's supposed to be, I don't think so, kind of getting.
• 14:27
  Home No, I don't think so. I think I think the Grogu's
• 14:30
  story I'm going to get into this a bit because this is where I
• 14:33
  have the most the most problems with this movie.
• 14:35
  I told Barry on the way over that I really hope, and I won't
• 14:38
  say it right away, I'll hold it for now, but I do hope they do
• 14:41
  one thing and I think if they do that, this could be an
• 14:44
  interesting thing because otherwise it might be kind of
• 14:46
  boring. I don't think.
• 14:46
  I think. I think that we've learned
• 14:48
  through watching this series that Grogu, the character, Baby
• 14:50
  Yoda, the character has kind of accepted the fact and, and
• 14:54
  willingly decided that he wants to be with Dinjar and the
• 14:58
  Mandalorian, that he is like a father figure to him and that
• 15:02
  that he has been in his care for so long.
• 15:05
  And that they are they are in simpatico with each other to
• 15:08
  some degree. There's something there, there's
• 15:10
  a bond there. And Grogu has left the Jedi
• 15:13
  training with Luke to continue to just be with Mando, you know,
• 15:17
  and that that's that's kind of touching.
• 15:19
  So what I think they there's a moment here in this movie where,
• 15:23
  and I'm I won't get into the spoilers in depth of all this,
• 15:25
  but there is a moment where Din jar and needs some help and
• 15:29
  maybe Yoda slash Grogu is there and does his best to help.
• 15:33
  And that is a fun little sequence.
• 15:35
  I do think that's around the time where Barry might have
• 15:37
  started to get a bit bored because it was kind of the same
• 15:40
  stuff over and over again now, But there's a reason for that
• 15:43
  and I think they could have done this in a much better way.
• 15:45
  So he he helps Mando kind of recover and it is it, it has
• 15:50
  some interesting moments in him, a little bit of furtherance of
• 15:53
  character with Grogu. And I won't say what, but
• 15:55
  there's a few things that happen in that where you go, OK, he's
• 15:58
  learning, he's a, he's actually, he is taking responsibility and
• 16:01
  doing things. The one thing that they didn't
• 16:03
  do, and I think they should have done is have him finally call
• 16:07
  Dingarn or Mando father or family or something in English.
• 16:12
  He should have said because part of that character's story is
• 16:15
  that he's been, he was part of the, the order 66 where the Jedi
• 16:19
  Temple was wiped out and all the Jedis were wiped out.
• 16:22
  He was a, he was equivalent of a 5 year old at that time.
• 16:25
  He was 25 or something in, in human in our years.
• 16:28
  He's 50 now. So he's twice that.
• 16:30
  He's about 10 years old now. He's been with Dinjaran for
• 16:32
  about 5 years. He's accepted the fact that he
• 16:35
  wants to be a Mandalorian like his quote UN quote, kind of like
• 16:38
  his father, right, And that's who he's kind of following
• 16:40
  along. He's got he's got Mandalorian
• 16:42
  armor. So it would have been nice for
• 16:44
  that. I think that that would have
• 16:45
  been a nice way to give emotional impact to those
• 16:48
  characters finally having a moment together.
• 16:50
  Instead, they had Din jar and say the old help the young and
• 16:54
  then the young help the old. That was the line that came out
• 16:56
  of that. It should have been Grogu saying
• 16:58
  like family in in his voice for the first time ever, And maybe
• 17:03
  that's all he ever says. Doesn't matter.
• 17:05
  Maybe they could have expanded on it, you know, but just put
• 17:08
  that out there and I'm telling you, I would have I would have
• 17:11
  wept like a small newborn baby child.
• 17:14
  So I just think that's such an opportunity missed.
• 17:17
  Let's do that. It just ends up being no
• 17:19
  emotional impact to the entire story, you know?
• 17:21
  Yeah. All right.
• 17:22
  Well, Barry, what do you? So while we were on you, Rob,
• 17:25
  what's your star rating on this one?
• 17:28
  This is a mildly above average type film.
• 17:31
  I would give it a three out of five.
• 17:32
  I would say it's, it's OK, it's OK, It's not, It's not bad.
• 17:36
  It's a fun watch with with kids. It's just a fun action movie.
• 17:39
  But there's no depth. So if you want depth, you're not
• 17:42
  going to get it. You might get a tiny little,
• 17:44
  just a nugget of depth, you know?
• 17:46
  Well, we're going to go as deep as one of Barry's squats as you
• 17:49
  give us your star rating, Barry, and and your final thoughts on
• 17:53
  Mandalorian Grow Grow goo. Yeah, in this, I completely
• 17:57
  agree with Rob. I think we're In Sync on this
• 17:59
  one. I would say not bad.
• 18:01
  I enjoyed what I saw. I thought the 3D was pretty
• 18:04
  cool. It looked great for me.
• 18:06
  It could have been perhaps 15 minutes shorter.
• 18:09
  It was a little bit of meandering, at least that's my
• 18:11
  view. But overall, yeah, it's like 3
• 18:15
  or so episodes of the show kind of put together and yeah, I was
• 18:19
  along for the ride. I did enjoy.
• 18:21
  There was one sequence that I really did enjoy, which is where
• 18:24
  the Mandalorian has to do battle with this like dragon snake and
• 18:28
  what they called it, which is kind of like it's the most
• 18:30
  obvious thing they could call it this white snake that looks like
• 18:34
  a dragon, but they call it as to anyway, it doesn't matter.
• 18:36
  That was a really cool sequence. That whole battle was pretty
• 18:39
  awesome. So I I was.
• 18:40
  There was some, there was some great, great set pieces for
• 18:42
  sure. There was some good, good
• 18:44
  fights. That's The thing is Mando is, is
• 18:46
  the cowboy with no name kind of character.
• 18:48
  He doesn't have emotion. He wears a helmet.
• 18:51
  There's nothing that you can't see anything.
• 18:52
  That's why you need Grogu to be the emotion, right?
• 18:56
  And that's what they were. They completely failed.
• 18:58
  Otherwise it was a fun action movie, so.
• 19:00
  OK, got it. My last question for you before
• 19:03
  we wrap up, Rob, do you think there's going to be another
• 19:06
  season or another movie or do you think there's something
• 19:08
  definitive about the ending on this thing?
• 19:10
  There's nothing definitive about it.
• 19:11
  And I don't know, it's hard. It's hard to know what they're
• 19:13
  going to do because if this, if this continues down the sort of
• 19:16
  kind of, I don't know, mediocre sort of path that it's on as far
• 19:20
  as audiences want to be, you know, like taken away by Star
• 19:23
  Wars. They don't want to just be.
• 19:25
  That was fun. You know, they want to have a
• 19:26
  moment where they're transported to a, to a Galaxy far, far away.
• 19:30
  And I don't think that Disney has been doing that since they
• 19:34
  started really with with a couple of minor exceptions and
• 19:37
  with early seasons of Mandalorian.
• 19:38
  Great. All right, Well, perfect.
• 19:41
  Rob, thank you once again for being here and really breaking
• 19:43
  down the only thing you need to know about The Mandalorian and
• 19:46
  Grogu. You've heard it here today,
• 19:48
  Barry, as always, thank you. Did you give the star rating?
• 19:51
  I don't think you gave it a star rating.
• 19:53
  Oh yeah, Three out of five, three out of.
• 19:54
  Five. OK, he's already on it.
• 19:56
  All right. Well then, now we've.
