Welcome & Podcast Introduction
00:00:36
Speaker
Welcome back to Han Took Shots First. I'm Derek. I'm Jack. I'm Ryan.
Chapter 6 Overview: The Prisoner
00:00:42
Speaker
We are here to talk about episode, sorry, chapter six, The Prisoner.
00:00:48
Speaker
ah Just up front, first things, Han Took Shots First is now available on our main Bad Movies Worst People feed. So if you follow us over there, you'll be able to get all these episodes.
00:01:00
Speaker
Eventually, we'll move away from having a separate one because it makes my life easier. We are all about that. So if you want to keep following us, and you do, just check out Bad Movies, Worst People. It's on YouTube. It's wherever you're listening to this right now.
00:01:16
Speaker
I promise. Probably. I believe him Mostly. So this one is directed by Rick Famuyiwa again, did episode two, I think.
00:01:27
Speaker
And it was written by him and Christopher Yost, which was a name I was kind of excited to see. Because
Guest Stars & Plot Discussion
00:01:34
Speaker
Christopher Yost, I mean, he's written some movies and TV shows, but he's primarily a comic book author.
00:01:40
Speaker
Oh, nice. Okay. It doesn't ring a bell for me. Yeah. he Well, he wrote ah Thor, Dark World, and Ragnarok. And he wrote the Cowboy Bebop live action show for Netflix. Oh, okay. we have talked about this cat.
00:01:55
Speaker
Yeah. And then in the comics, I mean, he did a really great run of X-Force. It was a whole cable X-Force crossover thing that went for a long time. It was really cool. He's written a bunch of Spider-Man and ah something called Red Robin.
00:02:11
Speaker
didn't say yum after um but I'm assuming it's like a new 52 DC Robin thing but I don't okay and this one originally aired on December 13th 2019 so we're getting down to the deadline of the apocalypse guys yeah when the world kind of ended
00:02:31
Speaker
We have a whole bunch of of guests on this episode, ah like so guest stars, who are like real actors. This is going one of the few times where, because, a spoiler, we've we've watched two episodes in a row and record two episodes typically.
00:02:45
Speaker
This is going to be pretty easy to keep separate because they're so separate stories. This is its own little... what do you call it? Like kind of side quest on its own.
00:02:55
Speaker
Yeah. It's very contained. And then I think that's speaks to it being, you know, Jon Favreau or Dave Filoni not being involved as far as writing and directing goes, you know, they threw it over to these guys. Cause almost all the previous ones were them. Right.
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah. Most of them have been. We had Deborah Chow and Rick Famuyua who both of them and Dave Filoni make an appearance in this episode. um I think they're launching a spaceship. He's the least convincing X-Wing pilot. The other two said Deborah Chow and Rick. They are at least okay.
00:03:31
Speaker
He's like, oh my God, they're coming right for us. Deflector shields up. its like such I love him. It was such a pompous, like, they're all there're they're about to launch an attack on us. Mm-mm.
00:03:44
Speaker
ah Let's not let him do that. And like, I love that guy, which is going to make fun of him. If you're my friend, I'll make fun of you. He's like the modern day Porkins. He is. All that actor just had a, ah you know, ah butdy what do they call it now? When you're so heavenly birthday, he just had a heavenly birthday recently.
00:04:01
Speaker
Oh, did he? Mm hmm. God, I hate that term. I'm not happy I said that. Nah, don't like it either. It's dumb. I'm sure you guys have talked about it this season, and we talked about it in last season.
00:04:12
Speaker
This guy, you can make fun of him because you love him because look at what he's doing. He's kind of doing what you wish the movies were like, and they don't need to be now because they've been serialized like this, but that it's what you want to see out of the movies, and he's doing a damn good job starting with this episode. Agreed. Yeah.
00:04:28
Speaker
yeah and this is what happens in my opinion
Character Introductions & Dynamics
00:04:30
Speaker
when you give and we'll talk about it when we get to season 3 when it starts to actually fail but this is what happens when you give a fan ah like the power like a true Star Wars fan I'm not talking about like a fucking keyboard jockey or you know something like that like ah Dave Filoni went out of his way to try and understand Star Wars and because it meant that much him they figured out I think he did a pretty good they figured out how to hand off writing duties to some other people and directing duties to the other people and still successfully do it too Yeah.
00:04:58
Speaker
Mandalorian season one and two are really unique in the sense of like, it's, uh, the perfect amount of cooks in a kitchen, I guess, you know, and like you were just like what but Ryan was just saying, and you got the the Dave Filoni and Favreau getting out of the way.
00:05:13
Speaker
Yeah. And, and, I know part of the problem people have with Dave Filoni is that he likes to tie in a lot of the, the lore from cartoons and stuff. He's not perfect. You can, it doesn't, but it doesn't bother me because I haven't seen any of those cartoons and I've never felt lost when characters show up. Like a character shows up. Sometimes I'm like, is that a cartoon guy? It's probably a cartoon guy. Yeah. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's not, but, and I don't have a say because I know it, you know what I mean? I'm like, Oh, that's that guy from that thing from the other thing.
00:05:45
Speaker
So let us talk about chapter six, The Prisoner. Ooh. I wanted to make sure to use my cool graphic because I spent time making it. Yeah. ah Smart. So we start with a very exciting guest star, Mark Boone Jr. playing Ran.
00:06:01
Speaker
Ran or Ranzac something or other, according to internet. So I don't think we hear it, do we? i I don't know. The subtitles just say ran. And then the online that said Ranzak something.
00:06:16
Speaker
Ranzak, not sack. Yeah, Ranzak, not sack. That's a plan name. ah Mark Boone Jr. is a welcome back to our network, at least, because we talked about him when we did the quick and the dead for Patreon over on Bad Movies, Worst People.
00:06:33
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. and he's probably most known now for Sons of Anarchy, I would say. Oh, yeah. Sons of Anarchy. That's a big, big thing for most people. But it was funny because the first thing I wrote down was Batman Begins. Of course, he's that guy from Batman Begins.
00:06:47
Speaker
Of course. Yeah. Not Sons of Anarchy. Don't forget, fast is it Fast and Furious 2 when Cole Hauser puts the rat on his belly with the thing and the bucket and the heat? And of course, John Carpenter's vampires.
00:06:59
Speaker
Of course, John Carpenter's vampires. He has a couple of small roles that just pop up and he's great in them too. Like I mostly know him from Sons of Anarchy, but there were always small roles in movies that he plays that you're like, this guy's awesome.
00:07:11
Speaker
I think it was, it was SOA that got people to be like, all right, what's that dude's name? Exactly. Exactly. He's a, that guy. There's that scuzzoid guy.
00:07:22
Speaker
Yeah. Scuzzoid guy. Come on. Ransack. Nutsack. And he starts talking to Mando and starts out with like, is that you under that bucket? And the trivia actually came in helpful for once because apparently in Mandoa, which is there the Mando language, Boucher, not Bobby, but Boucher is the word for both bucket and helmet.
00:07:47
Speaker
You're wrong, Colonel Sanders. Mama's right. Uh-oh, he's going full Mando.
00:07:56
Speaker
I'll tell you what, though. Veruza Balk would make a great Mandalorian. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Should be a scary one. Absolutely. She's part of the fucking Death Watch, what came before the Children of the Watch.
00:08:08
Speaker
Dami Mammalorian. All black. She's all fucking over worshiping Darth Maul. Yeah. Oh, yeah. See? He gets it. She's got them little horns coming out of her helmet and whatnot.
00:08:19
Speaker
So he's here because ah Mark Boone Jr. has a job for him. And the only reason he invited him is because the Razorcrest is off the grid. It's not on the Imperial grid or the New Republic grid. So nobody has trackers on it. Nobody has it in their systems.
00:08:36
Speaker
Nobody knows shit because he stays out of that. You got basically a fucking car that's ah pre-emissions. I like when he's like, the only reason I let you in was the Razor Crest. And Mando gives him this look and he's like, what was that look?
00:08:48
Speaker
Is that gratitude? so I think it's it's like the god gratitude. I think it's gratitude. gratitude Mark Boone Jr. Good. and he And we start meeting our cast... Oh, go ahead. Yeah, and
Mission & Humor Elements
00:08:59
Speaker
he's just just creepy behavior. Like, his character just saw, I heard the guild, and you know, like, he's just.
00:09:05
Speaker
Oh, that's right, yeah. He's letting on this very skeezy way. he Like, I heard you had some falling out. Yeah, but he's like, you've got to work for someone. so
00:09:17
Speaker
And we start meeting our cast of many guest stars here. um First, we have Bill Burr playing Mayfeld. Oh, bro, I don't sound like Bill Burr, but I'm from the same area.
00:09:28
Speaker
fucking Look at that. I'm a fucking sharpshooter. You just got to do that without the high-pitched thing, and you got to be a little more angry, too. You got to be a little more selfie. Oh, bro, I'm a fucking sharpshooter here. Almost with a little Joey Pants on that one.
00:09:40
Speaker
Sorry, I'm just a little fucking angry. Angry Joey Pants. All right, check out. I'm little fucking angry right now. Bro, bro. I guess on his podcast, that like his solo one that he does, where he just sits in a room and yells about things that he's mad about, which I've listened to some of, and it's funny because he's Bill. You get paid for that?
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah. If you're already famous. To start a podcast, I'm an old man. I'm an old man. ah I'd listen to me. Old man yelling at clouds. ah you Old man yelling at the cloud.
00:10:12
Speaker
Ooh, I like that. That's a good play. All right. I got a new show.
00:10:18
Speaker
But I guess on there, he's well known for like, quote, not getting Star Wars and like making fun of people um who love the franchise for being big nerds and shit. Oh, yeah. And since Jon Favreau, I guess, is probably friends with him in the comedy world and whatnot.
00:10:34
Speaker
He convinced to do it because he thought it would be funny because Bill Burr actually just really hates Star Wars. Yeah. it It's you know what it works. It's fine. And I know that he got a lot of ah guff for it. People were like oh great now like why is there a Boston accent in Star Wars like why is there a fucking English one.
00:10:52
Speaker
Yeah. Why is there a fucking Australian. There's all kinds of accents running around. The brand of humor is pretty cool too because it takes you out of that typical Star Wars even if it's just like maybe cheeky Han Solo lines. But this is a little more little dirtier.
00:11:07
Speaker
Oh, little angrier. I like him. I know. i know it's kind of split, I think, from what I heard. But like, I like him. And in season two, he gets a great fucking story arc. But even this, like he's supposed to be kind of a rat. You know, he's a little shifty. He can hold his own to a degree, but he does a good fucking job that Bill Burr.
00:11:24
Speaker
So how do we feel about his backpack gun? his little fucking like the micro is droid. I love it. I guess I'll take whatever he can. He'll take it. It's droid. It's like a little macro.
00:11:37
Speaker
Whatever our version of a macro is where it's he'll take whatever edge he can get. And I love it. And I guarantee you, they were like, all right, we've got this little eyepiece you can put on and it helps you aim your little back. Not wearing a fucking eyepiece. Exactly. I'm not putting shit on my fucking face, bro. What are you talking about? You pay for Bill, bro. You get Bill Burr's fucking eyes.
00:11:53
Speaker
I wasn't a storm trooper. Wise ass. yeah Yeah, that's why this That's exactly where I was just going because he's like He's a former Imperial sharpshooter Oh cool, I guess that'll help Yeah Was a fucking stormtrooper So I wonder i'd never thought about this until this rewatch Everybody here is caught up on Andor No season 2 for me yet loser. hu All right. Without spoiling anything, there's a sharpshooter in season, the end of season two, right?
00:12:27
Speaker
There's a sharpshooter incites some shit. That would have been Bill Burr's kind of job. yeah that's ah That's an Imperial sharpshooter. He's not wearing a fucking stormtrooper outfit. He's wearing very discreet clothing.
00:12:42
Speaker
Yeah, he's just there to incite riots and cause general genocide. I mean, as long as it's your fucking team, it's not genocide, right? America. And then we meet Berg, who's played by
Unexpected Events & Tension Build-up
00:12:57
Speaker
Also, welcome back for the other show because he was in a movie we covered called Cast a Deadly Spell. ah hu And he'll be back on this one because he does multiple voices in Clone Wars, as one should with Clancy Brown.
00:13:10
Speaker
Yeah, he was in whatt Rebels, Clone Wars. ah He was in the bounty hunter Star Wars Bounty Hunter game as a Mandalorian character. And I guess he was in Ahsoka.
00:13:21
Speaker
I saw in his credits. He played like a a mayor or a governor or something. he's he's repeat He's reprising his role from Rebels, just live action. Oh, okay. All right. I kind of remember. so Because they drew him like Clancy Brown. Why wouldn't you?
00:13:34
Speaker
And most recently, he was in ah HBO's The Penguin, which was a fucking killer show. And he was really good in it. Great role. Big scary dude playing a big scary dude. Deveronian.
00:13:47
Speaker
Yeah. I have a, oh, is it this episode? No. You'll be proud of me. I think I remembered an alien race name that I've been just slurring this whole time. oh But we'll get there.
00:13:59
Speaker
Not a good way to put that. Well, I'm always describing them by their physical characteristics, which is kind of Yeah, the googly eyes guy. Old spike head. Little spiked cat.
00:14:09
Speaker
Hey, look at that. It's old bucktooth over there. Hey, bucktooth, what do you do? You got fucking bunch of killer carrots on your home planet? You got to get the buck teeth try and take down them carrots? Get over here, you googly-eyed little freak.
00:14:21
Speaker
And then we've got the droid Zero, voiced by Richard Ayoade, believe is how you say it. Yeah, that sounds very familiar. um The design of this reminds me of the, in episode five, Empire Strikes Back, the rogues gallery of bounty hunters.
00:14:38
Speaker
There's one on the deck. It's Forlom. Very similar vibes. That one's just a little bit more bug-like in its eyes, even though this one's bug-like. Oh, ah like the one that is in Obi-Wan. I think he calls...
00:14:51
Speaker
Is he the one that calls the Empire about Obi-Wan or is he that's just hanging out on a phone in the background? We talked. Oh, no, he's a bounty hunter that chases Obi-Wan. That's what it is. Yes, that might be closer to an HK model.
00:15:04
Speaker
OK, I just remember the bug eyes. See, here I am. sl Oh, no, that is that. No, you're right. You're right. That is a law model. Look at this guy. See, I'm a genius. Strike me down. This podcast will become yours.
00:15:18
Speaker
It'll become stronger than you could ever imagine taught you everything I know. ah Richard Ayoade, I think most well known for being on the IT t crowd, which is very funny. Good droid voice.
00:15:29
Speaker
We have Shion playing Jack's favorite race, a Twi'lek. Twi'lek. What is he called? Twi'lek. Calls her a Twi'lek later. I'm like, whoa. Oh, I've never heard it abbreviated. I got a little nipple hard there. Oh, my God.
00:15:43
Speaker
And this is Natalia Tenna, and she was on Game of Thrones with Pedro Pascal. She was Osha. She was ah the wildling. Yeah, you see her nerps. Oh, nice. She goes to sleep with ah Ramsey. yeah Ramsey Bolton.
00:15:57
Speaker
I just thought it was funny because she was in Game of Thrones and as she first sees him. She's like, hey, good to see you. Missed you. And I'm like, they were on TV together. Type it up. Although I'm sure they weren't on any any scenes together.
00:16:10
Speaker
she's also in Harry Potter as Nymphadora. Oh, was it's okay. Cool. I wrote down Harry Potter and I tried to write whatever name it was. My phone changed that right to Nymphomaniac. Nymphadora Tonks.
00:16:22
Speaker
Okay, well, my phone changed it to Nymphomaniac. That's kind of the character she plays, it seems like. Yeah. Do you like her brand of acting here? i like it. um she's She's all right.
00:16:36
Speaker
It's kind of irritating, but she's supposed to be tough. I think she's just i think she she was tougher in Game of Thrones when she was not really that tough. she was She was a tough-willed character, but she was kind of weak. And here she's supposed to be strong, and I don't buy her as tough as much. Okay.
00:16:52
Speaker
Well, so I give it, I actually like it, but I give it up to the fact that like, she's a Twi'lek. She's probably had a really rough life. Best case scenario, you're fighting a rebellion on your home planet.
00:17:02
Speaker
Other case scenarios, you're sold off as a sex slave and had terrible things happen. So she's not tough. She's putting a front up, you know? Yeah. It's, it's a survival thing for her, but I do see how some people wouldn't like it. Cause very over the top. It's, it's, she's making a choice. Almost, but I don't know if she,
00:17:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. That's it's it's very close to that, which a lot of people don't care for. So, yeah. And I don't hate it. I just it was just something about it struck me as weird. But all of these gart guys are not in this that much. They're mostly in the background watching Mando shoot stuff who or getting murdered.
00:17:38
Speaker
Well, not murdered, but we think they're getting murdered. It's fun. So they have to go arrest this guy or they have
Mando's Resourcefulness & Combat Skills
00:17:46
Speaker
to go rescue this guy who was arrested. You have to de-arrest him. We're trying to de-arrest him. break Rescue that man.
00:17:52
Speaker
i And the ship is the the prison ship he's on is only manned by droids, so there won't be any chance of casualties.
00:18:03
Speaker
No chance? No chance. Zero chance. Zero chance, P-Pants. Okay. Okay. Especially because Mando hates droids, so he's like, yeah okay, cool, sign me the fuck up. Even if you believe that, there's all kinds of prisoners. Something go awry, you could kill them.
00:18:17
Speaker
Yeah. Like that little furry guy that Jon Favreau played. i'm sure it's not the same one, but because he died. but Oh, yeah, it can't be the same one. Ardenian?
00:18:28
Speaker
Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, look at me turning into you. Don't do that. Don't get new hats. yeah They'll all be like fucking newspaper boy hats or whatever it is you wear. i don't know.
00:18:43
Speaker
I just meant you have to grow your hair out and then your hats won't fit anymore. No, there's no such thing as bigger hats than what I have. Why do you think I don't wear hats?
00:18:54
Speaker
I would make a ridiculous Mandalorian. You just have this helmet on that's just like... It looked like Dark Helmet. Exactly. This is the word. Watch me play with my dolls.
00:19:07

00:20:33
Speaker
So they head in and Berg is not right out of the gate. Not super happy that Mandalorian is there, I guess, because he's the tough guy and they brought in this other tough guy. He's been sizing him up since moment one, like shoulder checking him like Mando. I thought I'd be taller.
00:20:48
Speaker
Like just any moment he's checking. Tiny. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's way to walk away from an interaction to let somebody know you're not actually bothered. Tiny. You don't bother me at all.
00:21:01
Speaker
Bill Burr's like, I guess he's here because they're the greatest warriors in the galaxy. And that's when his ah Berg is like, then why are they all dead? Like, yeah you guys are lucky this dude didn't just space you. He's got a fucking helmet on. He can breathe. He's fine.
00:21:13
Speaker
You know, you're all really close to you talking a lot of shit for somebody so close to a carbonite machine. Awful, awful bold over there. Oh, and ah Bill Burr infers that maybe maybe our hero, Mando, is a Gungan.
00:21:30
Speaker
I don't think he takes too kindly to that either. Is that why you're taking your helmet off? i like I like a Bill Burr making fun of Gungans. It makes me happy.
00:21:41
Speaker
I guarantee you that he they he's done that on his podcast. He's like, what's this Yusabusa shit? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm sure he and he probably rips into the pneumonians, too. um I love the Razor Crest having a secret compartment full of guns.
00:21:55
Speaker
New goal for my van. Yeah. I mean, you might have to be careful. It's it's cold in space. It's hot in Arizona. That's true. know, it's just going to be like, here's the pipe, here's the grenade bong. Somebody finds the magic button and it's just like, here's the six foot bong, here's the three foot bong. grenade bong? I love that. Maybe it's this one. No, it's the hatch. Just pull pin and throw it the back of the van.
00:22:19
Speaker
It's a hot mark what What did you say? ah the other the other hatch is a porn hatch. I've heard of Pornhub, a porn hatch. Here we go.
00:22:31
Speaker
And ah Berg tries to take off Mando's helmet, and they get in a little scuffle, and this door opens, and they all see Grogu, and he's like, well, fuck. As Bill Burr is eyeballing this thing right away, i don't know if he, what do you want? He's like, I'm going to take this thing. I don't like pets, but I want to take this one. I like i like this pet.
00:22:47
Speaker
I need this. After just like, I know you got a thing about personal space. I do too. And then he's like, let let me go manhandle this little weird thing in your ship. the I'm assuming this is your pet or your child.
00:23:00
Speaker
watch me hang Watch me handle it. ah I feel like I think it's Berg who
Horror-Thriller Style & Music
00:23:06
Speaker
is inferring that maybe Mando is having sex with this thing because he's like, it gets lonely up here, doesn't it?
00:23:12
Speaker
I was like, oh, it was Berg. Yeah. you and lonely up there, buddy i it's It is
00:23:21
Speaker
And they get to the thing and and ah Zero is piloting the ship because they've got to do some super crazy maneuver. And he doesn't give them any warning. So he goes spinning in there as they're fighting over oh noha the baby. He gives a one second warning. And I have to call it out because this dude that's joined our podcast today, we've you've played Jackbox, right, Derek? Like where you have to draw.
00:23:42
Speaker
This dude sitting here with us has given a one second warning before. Where he looked at the team and one. What am I supposed to with that? I think I doing a three and a two in my head. did it the reverse way. One.
00:23:57
Speaker
So that's what Zero does. like Drop it out of hyperdrive now.
00:24:02
Speaker
Well, like it because we get this little fucking puppet just bouncing around this cabin. Yeah. Wow, he's a tough little fucker. oh yeah. Resilient.
00:24:14
Speaker
So they go in We do see some of the aliens that are in there. There's the the Ardenian, which I did look up, by the way. I'm not going to lie. I wrote fuzzy little Favreau alien first. Oh, Favronian would have been great. Oh, yeah.
00:24:27
Speaker
Well, already did the Favreau Laurie in last or one of the other episodes. So I meant for them to name it that. Oh, OK. And there's like a pig dude like Gamorrean.
00:24:38
Speaker
No, what didn't look like a Gamorrean. He squeals like a pig, but he has a people face. o and like a weird nose. Okay. But either way, they end up getting busted by ah little mousy.
00:24:54
Speaker
Should have brought my mouse right over here. I just love that Burke's like, come here, mousy. And even Bill Burr's like, dude, stop. Like, what are you doing? As soon as we engage, we're fucked. And he just has his gum behind his back. Like, come here.
00:25:07
Speaker
doesn't Doesn't come here. So he shoots it. Fucked up the whole thing. Yeah, the security security droids come in. There's a shootout. That's when we so see Bill Burr's backpack gun.
00:25:19
Speaker
And Mando takes off running, and Bill Burr's like, I knew that fucker was a that was a fucking pussy. He wasn't going to help us. Because he said, like he looked back to to to look at Mando. He's like, aren't you supposed to be something special? Well, where'd he go? All right, well.
00:25:33
Speaker
It's like ah episode one when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan just like zip out of one frame and zip back in the other. Never to do it again. Yeah.
00:25:43
Speaker
But yeah, he sneaks up behind them and just starts slicing and dicing these fucking things. It's really cool. He comes sliding in underneath one and like punches up. ah He shoots, he shoots one of them with his own gun through the side of his head, which is pretty sweet.
00:25:56
Speaker
This episode is not only shot really, really well, especially these scenes that make it very horror thriller. It is scored to perfection.
00:26:07
Speaker
Yeah, the score, I meant to mention that. I didn't write it down. The score through this is very synth Stranger Things style or John Carpenter style. But with that like that that like the John Carpenter, I think a little bit more. i know Stranger Things is that way too. like the John Carpenter more because it's somebody's like chasing you.
00:26:24
Speaker
It's like Mando's this unstoppable force. We just happen to be on his side. yeah And like Jason, where most people aren't on his side. There were some cool handheld shots ah with the camera where it was like behind Berg when he's looking for Mando and stuff. that were It was shot really well in that aspect, man.
00:26:39
Speaker
Yeah, just I just wanted to mention it. Like the like watching, I even thought, was like I bet Derek loves this shit because it's so synthy and just shot really fucking well. Yeah, it's it's a very it's a big change in the score from the rest of the show.
00:26:53
Speaker
I mean, they've still got the... the other stuff that's in the other episodes, you know, when Mando first drops in into the prison, it does the little whistle and everything. But most of the time they're on the ship, it's this, yeah, John Carpenter-esque.
Mando's Tactical Maneuvers
00:27:07
Speaker
fits the tone of ah the the tone of the episode. Yeah. You know, the theme song's always going to be there. But this is a very specific episode to see his kind of darker side because, uh, Xion, I think as is her name.
00:27:20
Speaker
She mentioned something where like, someone says, is he really that good? She's like, ask him about this job. Like I had, I did what had to be done. she's like, no, you liked it. So, I mean, he's been done some brutal stuff for this crew at least.
00:27:33
Speaker
Yeah. Um, so they get to the control room. Zero warns them. There's an organic signature in there and it's this new Republic, ah Operator guy, whatever, who's here with his little egg helmet. ah davinghead can i Can I talk about the actor real quick?
00:27:51
Speaker
Go ahead. I've got it here. Matt Lantner is the actor's name. He voices Anakin Skywalker in Clone Wars and and other such. Yeah, so they gave him a little... Hey, you couldnt you don't look like a voice actor. You can be honest. You're doing fine.
00:28:07
Speaker
youre he's ah He's a better live-action voice actor than most. But I like that it's like... so it's like a Mexican standoff kind of situation where he's got...
00:28:19
Speaker
This tracking beacon Both of Mando and He's like easy dude like talk to me Talk to me At first Mando and Bill Burr Both have their guns on On Davin And he's got the tracker Well I guess Bill Burr knew Nobody else did Yeah.
00:28:38
Speaker
and then yeah And then Mando puts his gun away and tries to defuse the situation. And he's like, hey, if you let us go, you can walk away with your life. And Bill Burr is like, the fuck he can. Nope. So then it's a real Mexican standoff. We jump right. It's like the end of Reservoir Dogs here because Davin's got the tracker thing, which isn't a gun, but we'll pretend it is.
00:28:56
Speaker
And then Mando's pointing at Bill Burr. billsburg Bill Burr's pointing at Mando and Davin and maybe someone else, too, because he's got this fucking... For whatever reason, the backpack gun's on his own head. He's like, i didn't know where else to go, dude. Sorry, gotta threaten somebody.
00:29:09
Speaker
it Then just goes into Blazing Saddles. Put him down, put him down. ah Do what he says. Do what he says. um But yeah, it's like...
00:29:22
Speaker
Bill Burr screams at get that blaster out of my face, Mando. And Sheehan just like, fuck this, tosses her knife at the dude and kills him. She's like, who could possibly care about this guy? These little glowy knives. I like that little detail.
00:29:34
Speaker
His? Yeah. Each of them have like a little blue light. His uniform was so dated too. was like the, you know, it was the like the 77. Very dated futuristic uniform. Bill Burr makes fun of the shoes. Belt belt matches. Oh.
00:29:50
Speaker
You know what? I bet you it's like a throwback to Alderaan. Because Alderaan was a big part of the rebellion. You know, like, they're just, as a culture, they were very rebellious. So I bet it's like that that spirit, like, we'll get them all dressed up, all egghead, belts and shoes matching and everything, man.
00:30:06
Speaker
Well, this, because this is shortly after Jedi. it's I don't know. It's been a couple years, but. It might have been five. I read about it, yeah. Okay. So it's it's not that far off. Half a decade, give or take.
00:30:20
Speaker
Yeah, like fashion might have changed, but military fashion always stays the same. Eventually you get rid of the little hat. That's about it. This is like space camouflage, dude. I don't see anybody here. Just some nerd in a leisure suit.
00:30:31
Speaker
Move on. He could be military. Look at that stupid element. an egghead. ah Can't fight a war looking like that. But he did activate the tracking. That's the French always lost.
00:30:43
Speaker
They look too good, dude. You don't need your clothes, your uniforms designed by a fancy upscale designer. You know what? What I said is not fair. Louis Vuitton. The French have won two wars. The problem is they're just both both against themselves.
00:31:01
Speaker
So you can't lose. You can't lose. Or you did. And you didn't. Oh, it's paradoxical. ah But yeah, the tracking beacon does get activated. So they take off to try to find this prisoner.
00:31:13
Speaker
I like these. You got 20 minutes, man. These big fucking hefty ass droids that are floating around. I don't have a name for these. This is the first I've ever seen a fucking turret droid. um I saw something in the trivia, but i didn't write it down.
00:31:27
Speaker
I guess they are similar to some kind of droid that was in episode four. I think when they're doing the Jawas have the lineup there. Maybe it's at the cantina. But ah those ones like rolled around on the ground. Obviously, they didn't float because it was 1977.
00:31:43
Speaker
Somebody strapped a Gatling gun to this thing. Oh, but I like that Berg picks one of these things up and just fucking hucks it at the other one. And it's this huge explosion in this hallway. And ge the walls are on fire and everything. It's just like, what?
00:31:57
Speaker
Someone died there. So one of those prisoners was looking through the little people like, what the fuck's all that rag? Bro, my face. Oh, no. Fire, one of my 16 weaknesses. He got Mount Vesuvius in there. Like, he's just a fucking pile ash.
00:32:14
Speaker
I guess these were supposed to be the only droids that were patrolling the ship. But then, like, somebody did, like, a previs mock-up of Mando fighting those other ones.
00:32:25
Speaker
And Favreau thought it was cool. So then they decided to shoot that, too. That's cool. i'm ah I'm always for adding it for for badassery. Yeah.
Grogu & Zero's Tension
00:32:33
Speaker
Yeah. So they get to their target, who is this male Twi'lek named Quinn, although it's just Q-I-N, so it would just be Kin.
00:32:43
Speaker
It's Space Quinn. Space Quinn. ah This guy... Ismael Cruz Cordova. He's in Rings of Power. He's a rondier or whatever. the Is that the the first black elf?
00:32:59
Speaker
Yeah, the blue-eyed black elf that everybody shut their pants about. Which, actually, I was re-watching Lord of the Rings recently, and I'm going to do it again soon, because I think in one of the episodes, I saw a black elf. was like, just no one made stink back then.
00:33:11
Speaker
Yeah. Now that you have them with speaking lines, you know, we can't. Well, now he's an actual person, so. Exactly. Exactly. But yeah, okay, so that's that's who I know exactly who that actor is. Yeah, and ah my wife is obsessed with him, by the way. I don't know if I'm allowed to watch Rings of Power while she's around. She's got to be alone, you know?
00:33:29
Speaker
No, no, you just use that energy. That's when Papa sweeps in. She'll come in afterwards, but then she'll be all worn out. Anyway, apparently he was also in Sesame Street, which I'm only going to mention because i saw on IMDb his character's name in Sesame Street was Mando.
00:33:47
Speaker
Oh, okay. Interesting. What year was that? ah twenty It was like between 2011 and 2014 somewhere.
00:33:57
Speaker
Weird. it there was a list you know It has like the names and it says like a year span. I don't know how much he was on it. but I had read that and I thought that was a typo. I was like, that's pretty fucking weird. okay like AI filled in Wikipedia. It fucked up. We we knew it would.
00:34:16
Speaker
But they they take him from the cell and they toss Mando in there and lock him in. And Bill Burr is like, yeah, i just fucking leave him. It's fine because the New Republic is going to come and eliminate this thing from space.
00:34:27
Speaker
I like how they're like, we're not going to kill prisoners. We're going different than the Empire. Oh, distress signal? Kill all the prisoners. Yeah. Well, get Quinn. Get Space Quinn. That's the only thing that matters. so Yeah, I just mean the New Republic is like, oh, there's a, because like their whole thing is the New Republic is going to show up and just obliterate this ship because of the distress signal.
00:34:47
Speaker
I'm like, what but what about all the other prisoners? like look What does the distress signal mean? like is it Does it mean riot? Does it mean someone's got diarrhea? This is the most dangerous of the dangerous. They don't kill for diarrhea. Get real. That's something the Empire does.
00:35:01
Speaker
There's no there's no ah refreshers in these cells, by the way. So these guys are just shitting in a corner. They have poop bots that come in and scoops it up and eat it. Oh, okay. Or one one of those little aliens that we made up 100 episodes ago that you eats all your poop inside of you and you don't have to poop.
00:35:20
Speaker
Each one of these guys gets a poop worm. All right, you're good, man. Eat all you want. Got good news and bad news. Bad news is we only got shit to eat. Good news is bunch of it.
00:35:33
Speaker
But Mando is in the cell for about eight minutes before ah he hooks this. He uses his grappling hook to grab this security droid and take his blaster and his arm. Dude, this is a brutal scene if you replace the robot with a human.
00:35:49
Speaker
Yeah. Because he sprays oil. like he rips Mando rips his arm off, and oil is just spraying on the walls. He fucking shoots him through the head. like it's it's We've talked about with the Transformers. like It can be looking like look brutal. Yeah.
00:36:01
Speaker
yeah Yeah, no, this is like That is a hard R If you are making of show with human beings and not Using his yeah severed hand to do the fingerprint like Exactly He's like, Rocket Raccoon I'm gonna need that guy's arm He would grab his severed head like, thanks for the heads up And throw it in the corner of the cell ah So they all get to the back to the control or no Mando runs to the control room and locks down the prison.
00:36:32
Speaker
Everything turns red. It's fucking cool. I love it whenever everything turns red. Like what did we just watch where that happened? Oh, it was the Punisher. Yeah. Yeah. Because you mentioned something else that did it.
00:36:45
Speaker
yeah ah much Yeah, like ah Kill Bill when everything goes black and white. Yeah, yeah dude and and I think the score escalates here, too, where it's just very now it's very intense instead of just pretty synthy.
00:36:59
Speaker
Now it's in synthy. It's in synth. It's synthious. It's so in synth. and since it's in cynthia it's so intense Uh, there's a funny line from zero. He's like, he's, he's talk, trying to talk to them over the
Resolution & Mando's Escape
00:37:11
Speaker
comms. He continues talking. He's like, it seems the comms are no longer functioning. Therefore you can no longer hear me, look but he's still talking to them. Just keep on going zero.
00:37:20
Speaker
And this is like a double horror movie thing going on here. There's the, on the ship with zero and Grogu who is going full, like Jason Voorhees on this dude. Cause like you see him in the doorway,
00:37:32
Speaker
And then Zero turns around and he's gone. it's like, what the fuck is happening with this little baby? yeah Zero found the ah message from Greef Karga. Or like he figured out that there's a bounty on this thing.
00:37:43
Speaker
And yeah, he's like, oh I see him. Let me grab my gun. wo Where'd that thing go? It's a fucking gremlin, dude. And somebody fed him after midnight. You just hear...
00:37:56
Speaker
And then on the on the ah prison ship... ah Mando is like hunting all these dudes down First it's Berg He like noose hooks him From up inside the vents or the the Yeah the ventilation up there It's so cool and you're like oh he's got him He don't got him dude Dude these things are like invincible Deveronians Well first he wastes more whistling birds These don't even hit anything He didn't have time to target I know exactly he's They're so rare and he's just shooting them off Yeah
00:38:28
Speaker
It looked cool. It looked cool. That's the end. But like he's trying to fight this dude. Nothing's happening. So he just flamethrowers him in the face like that'll do it. Nope. Uh-uh. You know, this race will literally fucking inhale sulfur. Like, they do sulfur like it's cocaine.
00:38:44
Speaker
That's how I'll sum that up. They do a fucking bump of sulfur. They're like yeah, I could drink all night. Hanging out with fucking Forrest Whitaker over there, huffing vapors shit.
00:38:57
Speaker
Sulfur, good vintage. Where did you get this from my personal cellar? It's pure uncut shit. That is the good shit. ah Sorry, I'm distracted force whittaker. Say hello to my little friend.
00:39:15
Speaker
But I like how he kills him because like he drops the door down on him and you're like, okay, cool, that's it. Nope, just starts fucking bodybuilding, lifting this door up and then the sideways one's shut on him and it's just like, oof.
00:39:26
Speaker
Well, all right, got him. But he's not splattered. I was like, oh yeah, that guy splattered when I was watching it this time. Each one of these looks like a kill though. You know, because then him and Jian have a fucking little duel where she's throwing her little canoeing knives and He's got some spots that aren't armored. And that's how she ends up getting them. Like, come on, be better.
00:39:49
Speaker
Knives are your thing. Yeah. But he just kind of grabs her and holds a knife to her. And then it cuts to Bill Burr. Well, because it like it was a maneuver was it was at her throat. Yeah. Like he she was just beat.
00:40:01
Speaker
And ah ah Bill Burr's is the the most horror movie of them all because he's walking down this hallway. There's this red strobe light going on. And then every every time they flash behind him, it's like, there's Mando.
00:40:14
Speaker
And the next flash, he's a little closer. Next flash, not there. Next flash, a little closer. oh ah And he ends up stopping Quinn from getting on the ship. And Quinn's like, so you killed everybody? And he's like, well, they got what they deserved.
00:40:29
Speaker
Which is what they said to Mando when they locked him in the cell. Yeah, exactly. He said, you deserve this. And so now he's like, they got what they deserved. Well, Quinn was already ready to dip out on his sister, too, before this, you know? You're 100% right. going to dip out on everybody. His sister, most importantly.
00:40:45
Speaker
Bill Burr's like, nice family. Mando said to him, or yeah, Bill Burr said to him, what about your sister? And he's like, and what about her? Fuck her. Yeah. Ice cold.
00:40:56
Speaker
But so he tries to bribe Mando. He's like I'll give you even more money than Rand was offering you. You know, you have to finish a job, don't you? Isn't it part of your code of honor and blah, blah, blah. And, uh,
00:41:08
Speaker
Meanwhile, Zero does find the baby. He takes aim at him. ah This is really funny because he started he reaches up and starts doing some Jedi shit. yeah And then Zero's head explodes and the baby just looks at his hand like, what the fuck?
00:41:26
Speaker
Did I do that? But no, it was Mando. He shot him. it's so cute and stupid and I laughed at it it's great this is this is easily my third maybe fourth maybe fifth time watching this I think this is my third time only my second and the first time da i was trying to get my daughter who was five at the time into it so I didn't really like there were episodes where I don't don't remember half of what was going on because I'm like she wants to eat and I'm trying to show her this shit so this is you know
00:41:59
Speaker
She's trying to show you her fucking best cartwheel. Her best cartwheel. Let's watch Mandalorian. Watch this. but Watch my best cartwheel. Yeah, because I watched it, obviously, like when it aired, and then 2020 happened.
00:42:14
Speaker
I watched them when they came out on my own, and then I was kind of in this... I had two girls in my life that both wanted to watch it with me, so I would watch it three times, each episode three times in the first week it came out.
00:42:28
Speaker
And you watched a little bit with me and Charlie as well. Yeah. Yeah. you You say watched a little bit. He was watching that. You were paying attention to your child. He forgot there was a child there because he was watching Star Wars. Yep.
00:42:41
Speaker
ah True. True. The only child i care about is fucking Grogu. be child The The child. My ah so he takes he takes Quinn back to Rand.
00:42:55
Speaker
The brand's like, where is everybody else? He's like, we did the job. No questions, right? So he gets paid, bounces the fuck out of there, and they go to kill him. They're going to launch this remote droid thing, which I feel like we saw in the prequels. Was it droid? I don't think it was a droid.
00:43:10
Speaker
I thought it was like an unmanned ship. I thought I saw a man. Oh, I thought it was an unmanned ship. Like there's some that we saw in the prequels that were like little. I'd be happy to be wrong. Did not remind me of any of the c CIS droid ships, the vulture droid.
00:43:25
Speaker
Okay. I'm not, I don't, I don't know for sure. It looked unmanned at the time, but I don't know. Doesn't matter because... Yeah, we're not going to be... It's not going to be around long enough for us to care. Yeah, because it turns out Quinn has the tracker on him. i like He looks at it, he's like, it's beeping super fast. He's like, the fuck is this thing?
00:43:42
Speaker
It's one of two things, Quinn. It's a tracker or a bomb. And fast beeping is bad on both of those. Uh-huh. My hand's taking a bomb, I'll just throw it out into fucking space and hope it keeps going.
00:43:53
Speaker
Yeah. ah But then Dave Filoni, Rick Femiwa, and Deborah Chow show up. Look at that. like Get into an attack formation because they're launching a starship. And let's go get them, boys. Win one for the Gipper.
00:44:09
Speaker
Ask not what your country can do for you.
00:44:16
Speaker
It's the least intimidating pilot ever, dude. He should be. He's the worst Disney fucking Jungle Cruise tour ever. Oh, my God. Look at the hippopotamus. Look, it's not his fault. He has undiagnosed diabetes and he gets tired randomly. He just doesn't know.
00:44:32
Speaker
Is that something that happens? Yeah. you too much Your blood sugar gets too high. You get tired. You don't know why.
00:44:40
Speaker
I just am always tired. It's my secret. It's my secret, Cap. ah But we find out after they blow this away. They they blow this. Oh, yeah. Well, you see. They take the whole station? or It looks like they're bombing the station because we see the starfighter or whatever it is blow up.
00:44:58
Speaker
Right. Yeah. Like Deborah Chow, I think she's like I'm going in and she fucking nukes this. But then we see, we never see it actually blow up, but we see the X wings kind of circling it i think they shoot it up a bit, but yeah, it doesn't look like they destroyed or anything. It's, it's, it's going to be done.
00:45:12
Speaker
i was kind of hoping it was going to be like in the army now with Pauly Shore where they have to laser paint it to do the, ah to get the suck on this at one time to get the bombing.
00:45:24
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, that'd be great. Put Pauly Shore in Star Wars, please. Probably as a droid. ah You gotta use the Force. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
00:45:38
Speaker
Okay, so here's a... I knew I saw something on the IMDb trivia, so hey, take it for what you will about the the ship. But it says he summons a modified Porex 38 starfighter ah used by the Confederacy during the Clone Wars.
00:45:53
Speaker
First seen on the planet Utapau in episode 3. But it doesn't say that it's unmanned. So but I would assume, though, if it's CIS, it's um but it's they're not only droids, but it's mostly they also served as Magna Guard fighters in the in the Clone Wars.
00:46:12
Speaker
Oh, so it's a droid. ah Flown ship. Okay, so it's not... Magna Guards are what ah Grievous had with him that were dueling Obi-Wan and Anakin.
00:46:23
Speaker
Okay, so it's not unmanned, but it has a droid in it. It's unmanned, but it's not... It's unliving manned. It's not AI sentient. I don't know how to put this.
00:46:34
Speaker
And we find out that he left Mayfield, Gian, and Berg in the prison cell together in this empty prison ship where the only human is dead.
00:46:46
Speaker
So they'll be there until this ship gets wherever it's going, minimum. I mean, there's other prisoners. Well, yeah, but ain't nobody. I mean, as far as people who would be like, hey, why are there three people in this cell? and There's supposed to be one per cell.
00:46:59
Speaker
Also, like, do these droids bring around food or does that like come out of the wall? And it's like, here's your one portion for the day. So they got to like split that up three ways. OK. Berg eats it, and then the other two eat his shit. Yeah, pretty much. You're on refeed, motherfucker. It's like a like Star Wars centipede.
00:47:17
Speaker
oh So that is it for... What was that? A Dianoga. Diarrhea? Dianoga. That's a Star Wars centipede. That's the
Conclusion & Teasers
00:47:28
Speaker
the the trash compactor, man.
00:47:30
Speaker
Monster. Bingo. Bingo. So that's it for chapter six, The Prisoner, which is a really fucking cool episode. Phenomenal. um Like I said, very independent, very self-contained.
00:47:41
Speaker
You could watch this episode and know very little about the show and still just really enjoy it. I mean, the majority of the actual story takes place on Navarro, right? So it's like one, two...
00:47:53
Speaker
three and then seven, eight. So everything else is kind of filler. I mean, we, we introduced Cara Dune, but it's it's supposed to kind of just show you though, there's nowhere to run. Like he just drifting aimlessly. He has no plan. You have no purpose. You're just trying to just paycheck to paycheck, gas tank to gas tank kind of thing. That's single father, you know, single dad trying out there, just trying to get it if he comes out with white Mandalorian boots, like new balance, fucking Mando boots,
00:48:22
Speaker
And a riding lawnmower. be excited. Who touched the thermostat in my fucking razor crest. I can go to bed hot or I can go to bed cold.
00:48:35
Speaker
And I'm not going to bed hot. And I'm not going to bed hot.
00:48:42
Speaker
Thank you for joining us, Ryan. Do you have anything you want to tell the folks at home about? um Yeah, i have I have a song on Spotify. Check out. It's Gripes is the band. I'll capitalize exclamation point at the end.

Not always the case. Thanks. Yeah. I mean, i ah we somewhat recently took a road trip up to Phoenix and back. And on the way back, I was making... Well, not making. My wife enjoys it. She's heard it.
00:49:47
Speaker
was making her sister listen to it because she was in the car with And was like, we're just listen to this. And she's like... She wanted to listen to something particular. She was tipsy. Not hardcore punk. And she's like, wanted to listen to something in particular. I was like, yeah.
00:49:58
Speaker
I was like, as soon as we're done with this, she's like, well, how many songs are there? was like, 21. Have we done about 12 minutes? Yeah, but it's like... That's like, yeah, yeah, exactly. I was like, I didn't mention they're all like ah two minutes or whatever, but like still, i want to listen to Taylor Swift and a lot of it.
00:50:13
