Is this The Way? This week we venture to a galaxy far, far away to unpack "The Mandalorian & Grogu," the return of Star Wars to the big screen. Join us as we unpack Mando's jump from TV to the cinema and whether or not it works. We take a deep dive and look at the performances, special effects, and its episodic structure, and we conclude with a discussion on fan culture and the reactions to this film.

Thanks as always for listening. Like & subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you next Monday.

May the Force be with you.

We're back with a very special bonus episode. Today has particular significance for sci-fi fans as the 21st of May is the day that The Last Question is first asked in iconic author Isaac Asimov's brilliant short story of the same name.

Join us as we unpack the story and stick around till the end for a short discussion on its distant relative, The Last Answer, also by Asimov.

We'll be back on Monday for our regularly scheduled programming. See you then!

We're executing a burn maneuver this week and returning to Mars orbit as we catch up on the last few weeks of "For All Mankind". We begin with a short recap of our feelings of the season so far and various threads we're keeping an eye on. We begin with episode 6, "No Sudden Moves," (4:38) as our characters, in the wake of their actions last time out, ask "what's the plan, now?" We then unpack the explosive episode 7, "The Sirens of Titan," (36:12) and question certain story choices before Titan reveals his Worst Science Moment of the entire show. Finally, we look at episode 8, "Brave New World," (01:19:25) a tense episode that lays down some very exciting groundwork for the final two episodes of the season.

As always, we hope you enjoy and ask you to like, comment, and subscribe wherever you find us!

Look out for us on Thursday for our first bonus episode! See you then!
