Introduction to Hosts and Ahsoka Episode
00:00:01
Speaker
I'm the Indian subconfident. That's actually pretty interesting. I might read about that. 268 to 232 BC. He, um, he ruled over. I'm not going to try to pronounce it again. Something empire that is in a modern day India. Interesting.
00:00:24
Speaker
it's just pictures of like a statue of the guy and then under it's just an action figure so really yeah well welcome back everyone episode 100 near the popcorn podcast i'm tom across the long side on the coast ryan fran
00:00:36
Speaker
And today we're here to talk about the two episode debut of Star Wars Ahsoka show. I'm not going to name the streaming service due to the writers and actors strikes. And, uh, yeah, so we're here to talk about that. And, uh, it's been a, it's been a little bit. So did an episode, we haven't recorded together an episode.
00:00:58
Speaker
Probably a month or so. It's been a while, yeah.
Comparing Ahsoka Biopic and Star Wars Show
00:01:01
Speaker
But also, I do want to cut in. It seems like in 2001, there was a biopic made of him. It's a soca. Except on Google, it spelled his name the same way. It spelled it with an H. This one doesn't have an H. It's just A-S-O-K-A. So I don't know if it's the same guy. I'm not sure. You should do some more research. Maybe that's what we'll review next. Yeah. It's got four stars on Google. And a soca versus soca comparison.
00:01:27
Speaker
Yeah, I mean it's not an English movie so it's gonna be some reading but it's got a hundred on Rotten Tomatoes. Really? Yes, a hundred. Eight. Critically? Ten. But audience score is 69% with 5,000 plus reviews. Yeah, maybe we should watch it. It's not a bad score at all. But I want to give you guys just a breakdown of what
Personal Life Updates and LA Adventures
00:01:53
Speaker
Well, we've kind of missed since the last time we did an episode together. So since the last time we recorded. Together. Tommy's gotten married, which is some big. No, I did get another tattoo. Yeah. Bit of a kid did not have a kid. But stop just putting out false information and not have a kid. So if you guys have listened to our last episode, which I'm assuming you have, or if you guys are friends or as long as podcasting, you would have heard. I made a comment about a certain girl.
00:02:22
Speaker
And we're not good, we're not gonna say any names. But I made a comment on the very last part. She hasn't listened. She has not, which is good. You're so lucky I forgot last time I saw her. No, we hadn't went yet. Oh, no, we did. We just come back. We did, yeah. But yeah, so that's still going well. What is going on? We went to LA, which is cool. We went and saw the Spider-Man Lotus premiere.
00:02:47
Speaker
We met up with Ray's Lost Podcast, recorded that episode. And oh, we finished our short film. We filmed it because we hadn't talked about that. We missed a little bit on the Ray's episode. Yeah. But we really didn't do a lot of talking about it on our own. No, we didn't. But it was a good time. I think we're both in the same boat of just thinking that it sucks because it's our first time. Everyone else tells us it's better than what we think it is. Everyone is saying that. I guarantee you it's not going to be good. But I'm glad. I'm very, very glad that we did. It was really, really fun. I don't think it's going to be bad.
00:03:17
Speaker
I think it's gonna be bad, but I Don't know. Yeah, that's also what what
Reflections on Short Film Project
00:03:23
Speaker
he say. He did. He's the first draft is done We just need he's doing the sound correction. Yeah music now. Yeah, Doug all Doug said was like it's not dog shit Which for us you slurred all those words said is something we will be happy with like proud of I
00:03:44
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe not you, but I will. No. Listen, even if it is bad, it was a very, very fun time recording and filming it. Fun? I thought, I mean, maybe not. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was fun. Yeah. But, um.
00:04:00
Speaker
Bobby was great. I was great. I'll do Kathleen was really good. Yeah. Kathleen's very helpful. Thanks for coming out. And then Ted, Anthony, and three were all great. Three was the best. Not that the other two guys were great. I wasn't going to mention. Tariq just helped me with the acting stuff, which was a big help for me. Tariq was very helpful for you. Yeah. And it was, it was, of course, I talked to us before it was something very personal for me. So yeah, but there was a lot of fun to film. Uh,
Explaining Recent Absence
00:04:27
Speaker
Ryan likes to look at things through a negative lens. I don't. You live by expect disappointments so you're never disappointed. I look at positive things through a negative lens and I look at negative things through a positive lens. No, you look at negative things through... I think you just look at negative things. No, I look at negative things and just laugh at them. That's true, because I ain't taking everything with disappointment, you laugh. Everything negative that happens in your life you tell me about, I just laugh in your face. These last two weeks have been eventful.
00:04:53
Speaker
I could kind of tell you were like, you know, a little fed up with me. It wasn't it wasn't even you. It was life. For those who don't know, I have been away with the army for my annual training event. And so, yeah, that's why we haven't recorded the last two weeks. I've been tired, exhausted, going to bed at eight o'clock. Well, some days, some days a lot later.
00:05:14
Speaker
And also not a ton of stuff has been out in the past couple weeks.
Film Discussions and Ahsoka Impressions
00:05:17
Speaker
So yeah, yeah, I guess we just haven't yeah There wasn't Ninja Turtles, which is we have so many toes. Very good hand was a lot of fun Ryan has not seen blue beetle yet. I have yeah, I enjoyed blue beetle. It's It's exactly what I think it was gonna be. It's a very Play by the books origin story, but with some really good performances and some fun action sequences But well, that's not what we're here to talk about today We're here to talk about episodes one and two of Ahsoka
00:05:44
Speaker
And, uh, yeah, right from the gecko, my original thoughts, like my first thoughts right off the. You say we're off the bit. We're off the bat, the bat. Why? It's a baseball reference. I don't know why you should love it. I'm tired, but, um, it's okay. It was okay. Start. I think, uh, there was some cool scenes and I'm excited to see where it goes. Cause I mean, we all know that there ons in it. This is on spoilers. I won't spoil anything.
00:06:14
Speaker
But there's just, I think there's a lot of cool stuff that's gonna happen. But yeah, so I'm okay with so far. Nothing crazy. Can't really judge a show by its first two episodes. Yeah. I think so far it's felt more style over substance, which is just always gonna be disappointing to me. You know what I mean? Because I've said it before, like, I'll bring up Zack Snyder again. His movies look great. I enjoy watching them.
00:06:42
Speaker
They never really have anything to like grasp onto or think about later on. It's mostly, you know, but there is something for like a just very stylistic movie. And I really liked that sometimes you look at like Scott Pilgrim was a perfect example. That movie is just style. There's not a ton of substance, but you love that movie. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. There's times for it. But overall, I definitely like the substance more than the style usually, but
00:07:10
Speaker
I still gonna keep watching the show and see where it goes, but for now I've been a little disappointed with the story No, I but also both of us are not rebels fans. Neither of us watched it. It just wasn't for me like it came out Right as I right as like Clone Wars has ended
00:07:27
Speaker
I love that show and I kind of like grown up a little bit. So when Rebels came out and it was kind of kiddier than Clone Wars, I just didn't, it didn't stick with me. I just didn't love it. So yeah, I just kind of gave up on it, but people do love it. So I don't want to knock the show at all. I don't want to say it's bad or anything because people adore that show. So if you like it, that's on you. I just, just wasn't my thing. So I never really got into it, but I've seen the important bits both of us have. So, you know,
00:07:55
Speaker
Wondering where this show is gonna go. Yeah, I really don't know I know what's gonna I think I know what's gonna I mean, we know like thrown yeah, but like overall and one thing I only know cuz I have the email open on our thing. I meant to bring up We got now a for people's choice Pretty cool. There's neat pocket best TV and film podcast. Yeah, and we the word we find out I wanna say we find out I just click on the link

Speaker
The ceremony is Saturday, September 30th at 6 p.m. You can stream live anywhere you stream. It comes out on International Podcast Day, which is pretty cool. You can go on YouTube and watch it.

I cried when I found out Ryan did not Ryan left But um, yeah, so thank you guys a lot. That means means a lot to us. We're up against Marvel's official podcast with cinematic universe
00:09:20
Speaker
Yeah, let's see this list. Yeah, you read it. I don't have my phone out. Oh, the list is 80s TV ladies. Avatar Braving the Elements based on a true story. Energize a Star Trek podcast network. HBO's Succession podcast.
00:09:36
Speaker
We're beating them. Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast. Got nothing on us. The Blacklist exposed. I don't know what the hell I did. The official Game of Thrones podcast. House of the Dragon. Lightwork. We did better reviews of their own show than they did. And then Us and then Watch If You Dare. Yeah, so I mean, some pretty cool category to be nominated for. Neither one of us were nominated for male podcast.
00:10:03
Speaker
We did not get nominated for that. We weren't? No. Is that a thing? Yeah, it's the best male, best female. Oh, really? I think that they voted us as like one. They're like, this is one brain cell between the two. Imagine we got best couple. I honestly, I wouldn't have been mad to be like, thanks. If we win, we win. Win to win.
00:10:25
Speaker
Um, but yeah, no, so that's pretty cool. Thank you guys for that That's going on my resume people. I have the same I feel truce nominations Rob handson. It's our first Academy Award. It's not Academy people's choice But we have the same as right now We're the same as Tony McGuire, isn't that cool? Same as what do you mean for sword nominations? That's pretty cool. What was his fourth?
00:10:53
Speaker
I think it's for his kiss. Oh no, that's MTV. We might have more people's choice who wears the tie. But that's funny. It is funny with the film and acceptance speech.
00:11:04
Speaker
Did we actually? Yeah, or you forfeit. God damn it. We're gonna record after this. Justin T-shirt. Justin T-shirt. I'm gonna be like, thank you, mama. Good night. Okay, back to a circle. I'm gonna go click on my circle link now. Make sure it's the show. It's the Star Wars show. Not the movie. Not the 2001 biotechs.
00:11:29
Speaker
But it is currently sitting at an 8.2 out of 10 IMDb, 73% on Google, and what does that mean? It's certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but Rotten Tomatoes isn't coming up. Where is Rotten Tomatoes? Can you pull the Rotten Tomatoes squares? And for Google user reviews, out of 5, it's sitting at 3.2, a 662 reviews.
00:12:01
Speaker
Has an 89 on Rotten Tomatoes and an 80 audience score. I wouldn't put it that high, but it's only the first two episodes. You know, you got plenty of time. Plenty of time. Wait, that's who's playing Thrawn? Yeah. I think he voiced him in Rebels. Oh, he did? I think so. I love Lars. Do they have attendance in this? Yeah, he's the big purple guy? No, he's the lightsaber robot.
00:12:32
Speaker
Who? What's the big purple guy? The robot Ahsoka's with. Who builds the light sabers? Oh, I didn't even realize that. Yeah. I mean, neither did I until I just saw this, but. Wait. Yeah. Do you see who I see? I see two people who you might be talking about. Bottom row? Yep. Oh. OK. That would be sick. That's pretty cool. But probably wouldn't make much sense. Yeah, it would.
00:13:02
Speaker
I'd probably be dead by now. Return of the Jedi? Yeah, but then five years after that. Yeah, he's still alive though. He's accelerated aging. Accelerated aging. Might be older. The chip stops that? Maybe he's like better. No, that wouldn't make any sense. Let's start with nothing makes sense. That's true. Why do the Soka help them? They return the Jedi battle.
00:13:22
Speaker
She was doing important Jedi stuff. What? What was she doing? You tell me. You tell me what she was up to that was more important than fighting the Empire. She was trying to... There's no way she was doing this. But maybe she was stuck in some some shit that like in between time travel stuff she was stuck. She could have been. I haven't watched Rebels so I don't know how the shit works. Every time I see it I'm like, I have no idea. The one thing looks like the Deathly Alice symbol.
00:13:53
Speaker
Every time I see that world I'm like I do I have no idea But shout out to the cast so far Natasha Lou who plays Sabine Ray Stevenson who's sadly best way he plays Balan and he actually
Ahsoka Cast and Character Insights
00:14:07
Speaker
looks dope so far really likes character Mary Elizabeth Winstead she plays Hera and
00:14:12
Speaker
Of course Rosario Dawson plays Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka Tano. I would say Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka Tano, right? Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup.
00:14:30
Speaker
And the rest of them kind of are important at the moment I guess the one guy even but it's not important. We didn't see enough. Oh Yeah, so far the kiss is fine. No, I have nothing to say bad about them. I think everyone looks pretty cool I guess what you're saying. It's very much
00:14:47
Speaker
Visual over substance. What is it style of substance? And it is because the sets look pretty cool. Yeah, awesome costumes are my favorite part of the show Everybody everybody looks dope and uh, yeah, so I mean Stories and I really I mean, it's too obsident. So I can't really talk about the story much that we have gotten enough on it. So style looks good CGI
00:15:11
Speaker
Okay. I didn't notice anything bad. I just thought this was robust with the lab. That could just be me. I always feel like I'm a little more of a stickler to that kind of stuff in any kind of project. Yeah. Well, I mean, CGI for Star Wars stuff is always at least like in the past couple of years where CGI is really taking a down low. Star Wars has always stayed up because I feel like they have more money.
00:15:38
Speaker
It could be someone with that, but it's also because ILM is basically Star Wars' private CGI place, and people who work at ILM want to work on Star Wars, so they're getting their own people who want to do the project, want to do the work. So that's one reason that Star Wars CGI looks better than those. No, it was nothing crazy. It was nothing like Marvel level or like Flash level. It wasn't that bad. It was just like little things. I was like, okay.
00:16:05
Speaker
Dude, none of flash is on streaming. People are showing in HD scenes. They're horrible. It's the movie's bad. The movie is bad. It is bad movie. Blue Beetle. I gave double the score. I gave the flash. It's like a 70 something.
00:16:25
Speaker
I originally gave an 80 and then as I sat there, I was like, yeah, it's like 76 But um, no, yeah, so good. It's cool. Her light sabers look dope what they always will yeah, um, I think it's gonna be cool cuz I Don't think it's a spoiler that hating Christians in his back. He hasn't been in it Reportedly badly. He's also on the cast. He's on the cast list interesting to note He's on the cast list as Anakin Skywalker, not Darth Vader. I
00:16:53
Speaker
Interesting note there. Yeah, as we gotta say and I mean he's in the trailer at this point. They showed his voice Is he I say you the clip? He tells it. Oh, that's what I'm saying to you when we first started. There's a he talks tells her how he's been training He's like, he's like, I'm only supposed to train you how to kill joys, but I'm gonna train you how to kill everything And he's like Tony's like I've been training for these moments in your life Like so I I think we're it's gonna be a flashback of him trying to train her Yeah, but um, I'm excited for that kind of stuff. I just want to
00:17:24
Speaker
I just want to see what they're going to look like. Like, is he going to have the hair? He's got to have the same hair. You think we're going to sit? I was thinking maybe like Clone Wars, like in the words. Well, I feel like Clone Wars, his hair is their attempt of doing that animated because it is very similar to what he rocks. No, it's definitely shorter. Yeah, it's shorter. Maybe they try that. No, but then in the most recent season, they make it longer. Oh, it is longer. Yeah. Yeah, I guess an in between unless the final season.
00:17:54
Speaker
We don't know. It could be anywhere. But no, I'm excited to see what they do with Hayden. I wonder if he only gets one scene to get like a couple takes in between me like a force ghost sequence of flashback sequence.
00:18:07
Speaker
I'm feeling just one flashback scene in, like, episode six. No. Like, right before the end. And then maybe the end of episode eight, he comes back like Qui-Gon did in Obi-Wan. He's like, nice. And that's it. I definitely didn't slaughter hundreds of kids. He's like, yes, I did it. But, yeah, I have nothing really good. Great. It's not good. I do like some of it.
00:18:28
Speaker
I've known the bad to really say about the project so far, nothing really bad to say. I think Rosara or Dawson is a very good choice to play Ahsoka, but this isn't the first time we've seen her. But yeah, I don't know. I don't want to sell myself, that must be bad or it's been good yet. I want to see more before I make a final decision.
00:18:48
Speaker
yeah definitely yeah because if we went off the first two episodes of obi-wan we would never finish the show and we wouldn't have got one of my favorite series finales and it's only for like that 20 minutes yeah the show obi-wan was just an overall disappointment that last the fight at the end was very good which i'm hoping this show avoids i i can't have another show that's just one scene that kind of brings the whole season like makes it okay
00:19:13
Speaker
Yeah, like I don't want eight episodes of nothing just to have one cool fight scene at the end. It's just so boring No one was only six episodes truth. Well, this is eight though. So be even worse if they do
00:19:25
Speaker
Yeah, but um, yeah I'm excited. I think Ray Stevenson looks amazing and he's probably been my favorite parts of our I agree or the other guy But we don't he doesn't have a name on the cast list Helmet dude. Oh, yeah as my theory star killer. Yeah, I think you're saying what were what I think it's just an inquisitor, but I don't know he's got to take the helmet off Maybe come on
00:19:52
Speaker
Like you wouldn't at least name the stunt guy if it wasn't someone important Stunt guys aren't usually on the cast list, but they usually put who's in the suit for someone if you go in the Mandalorian the guy sometimes I'd be shocked. They do for black and war on the boys. Gotcha. But um, yeah Yeah, it really is just style over substance in these first two episodes a lot of visuals
Critique on Ahsoka's Pacing and Action
00:20:21
Speaker
I
00:20:21
Speaker
Yeah. And I think there were points in the episodes where it was just very off-putting to me. Yeah, like there were scenes where there would be, like the scene, we watched that girl Sabine for 45 seconds and then nothing happened. Remember when she just... Oh yeah, when she's fiddling with the key thing. Yeah, and then like...
00:20:43
Speaker
two scenes later it cuts back to her and she figures it out but the scene first when she's like walking around setting stuff up just have her like look at it and then not as close of it yeah it's like a 30 second scene of her just like getting the room ready and then it cuts away from her either do that and stick with her until she figures it out or just have a quick shot of her like looking at it figuring out and then you cut and just swallowed into my mic i'm sorry everyone i pulled my mic close as i let go of the cup
00:21:13
Speaker
Yeah, there's just moments in these first two episodes that you're just like, why? Just why would you do that? And even the chase when she's, uh, she's like on the speeder going away from the ships, it was dumb. Like it could have been cool. It could have been like, why aren't they like really trying to stop her?
00:21:30
Speaker
Yeah, it felt like the dude was just like her friend and he was like commander you better pull over and then he's like Sabine stop and then she gets away and he's like That was pretty cool. See ya fun. Like yeah, if you want to make like a cool Badass like make her actually avoid things. Yeah, make her actually like cool instead of just being like oh, well there she goes again She's doing her thing like it's so boring. It's nothing. So it's like such a trope. Yeah
00:21:58
Speaker
Yeah, it could have it would have been cool if he was like really telling her like they're maybe walking down She has to try like yeah And if it wasn't just on a straightaway street like if she was dodging weave and stuff it could have been really cool And then she figures out a smart way to get by or if like instead of things stopping waiver flies towards her trying to slow down She just doesn't pull away something something interesting
00:22:20
Speaker
Something different. He could have done the Akira slide. The Akira slide. We both said it, and we were like, God, we just made it. The Akira slide would have been dope. I love Akira. I gotta watch that again. Last time was rough. Those who don't know, I was on pain medicine for my surgery, and I just started. He was on the coach. I was like drooling. It was.
00:22:44
Speaker
And then we got up to leave and I immediately kicked your ankle on accident. Oh, you did. That hurts so bad.
00:22:51
Speaker
Yeah. Because right away, I think it's the first thing you've ever apologized. Yeah, I think it is. Look, I'm sorry. If my stitches weren't even like done yet. Yeah. But you're in pain. But I will say, I'm super excited to see more of Shin. The Apprentice. Oh yeah, she was cool. Looks cool. They straight up copied the Darth Maul shot though. Yeah. From Phantom Menace of the droid coming up to his shoulder. It just copied it. It was the exact shot. Yeah, straight up. But they had a ship in the background.
00:23:21
Speaker
Yeah, you're telling me no one knows that big black ship in a grain field Nothing, but just this massive ship in
Nightsister Character Analysis
00:23:31
Speaker
the middle of it. Yeah Yeah, no, I think so far the show is just kind of and then there was a fucking plot error She kills those four robots. She kills two of them and those three standing up I want to watch that scene again because it looked like I
00:23:47
Speaker
To me, it looked like there were four. And then she cuts holes under two of them. Those two come back up eventually, but she kills two of them. Yes. She kills the two that were still up there. So there were four in the beginning. Let me explain. There were four in the beginning from what I saw. Maybe there were five. I got to watch it again. I could be wrong. What I saw was four in the beginning. And then she cuts two of them. Two of them go down. So two of them are gone. There's two left.
00:24:11
Speaker
She kills two of them. That means there's two left. They come back up, and they go self-destruct. Pan's away. She runs away. Cuts back. Now there's three of them. No. There's a shot. Two of them first kneeling. Yeah, there's a shot of two of them with the bombs coming out, and then it cuts back. And there's three of them. And they're like, no, that's a continuity error. I think they messed that up. Yeah. Because, no, she sure does destroy two of the droids. Yeah, I thought it was all right. Did two climb up. Yeah. I was thinking maybe there were five, and I just kind of forgot one.
00:24:39
Speaker
I thought there were four because two holes and then she kills them. So anywhere if one just shows up even that happens so weird Thing. Mm-hmm. Where's that thing? I just come from flies in Iron Man's it comes down Lance bomb be kind of dope But why didn't you show that that'd be kind of cool, I don't know You ever call me by my name on the show kind of thought I Don't know Tommy
00:25:23
Speaker
I haven't heard my middle name in a long time.
00:25:30

Thomas yeah, I always think Matt's is Michael. It's yours But yeah, I haven't heard it Ryan Thomas Thomas Gabriel I Mean it has to be close to like 10 12 years. I mean, I think a soak is middle name it
00:26:01
Speaker
Annoying You say snips Snips, that'd be cool. Are you looking it up? Yeah, let's see if there actually is one probably So in Star Wars lore, they definitely written something So could title middle name

I think I'm just reading a fanfiction, I don't know. I got caught like, what the hell is this? I saw your face change, so that was never a good sign. I don't think she has a middle name. I was just gonna say Snips. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. That's the big end of the show. What's your full name? Do you think they're gonna find Ezra in the show?
00:27:31
Speaker
Don't know I don't because my thought is when Sabine was looking at that hologram of them The actor definitely looked older than I feel like Ezra would have been at that point And again, both of us haven't watched the show so I don't that is what it looks like towards the end though Yeah
00:27:52
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, we're both talking out of our eyes with all the rebel stuff. But I think to me, it looked like an older casting. And then my thought in that was they cast it older so that they can just have an older version of Ezra since it's been a few years since he disappeared. But yeah, I don't know. I think he's going to show up, but we'll see.
00:28:15
Speaker
I mean, he's pretty high up on that cast list. He is. Yes. Oh, we didn't even talk about how the one girl is. Oh, the witch? Night sister. Which one is it? Which doesn't make any sense. Oh, Geneva O'Reilly. Mon Mothma. Mon Mothma. Did you? What? Mon Mothma.
00:28:36
Speaker
Do you not know who Mon Mothma is? God damn it. Who's that? God damn it, Tommy. God damn it. You're the Star Wars expert. Do you know the redhead in the Senate? She's with the Rebels a lot. She's in Return of the Jedi and she was in Andor, which still haven't watched. Banger. Oh, the woman that always wears like the white uniform. Yeah, she's red hair. Yeah, that's Mon Mothma. Why is she in this?
00:29:02
Speaker
She was really important in Andor. I mean she was really important in Andor. I mean she was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important in Andor. She was really important
00:29:21
Speaker
I think it's because I haven't been watching it. I think I'm just sleeping. That's not true. I have been watching something. We'll get to that when I get to the recommendation of the week. I started a new show. You can't recommend porn, Tommy. You got to just watch porn. I'm just making sure.
Morgan Elsbeth's Role in Ahsoka
00:29:39
Speaker
Yeah, but.
00:29:41
Speaker
No. Morgan. Wallen? Morgan. Morgan Elsbeth, I think? Yeah. Diana Lee and Nightsisters. Yes. Perfect. She's the girl from the Ahsoka fights in Mando season two. Metal Staff. She got both of them. Yeah. Yeah. Not a bad character.
00:30:04
Speaker
I don't know why she's a Nightsister all of a sudden. She doesn't look like she looks like the women from Game of Thrones said yeah, like nothing She doesn't look like nice sisters are like pale white like not even pale white just straight white like tattoo Yeah, they're creepy. They're really cool Logan and this it just looks like a normal woman. It's not cool kind of disappointing Yeah, like if you're gonna make her a Nightsister make her a Nightsister with the green light the green fire she made I
00:30:29
Speaker
Yeah, no, if she's a Nightsister, I'd love to see more like magic stuff. Nightsisters are dope. Nightsisters are always cool. Yeah, Nightsisters are dope. It's one of my favorite characters in the Jedi games. What's Maul's cousin's name? Brother? Cousin? Oh. Savage oppression. Yeah, he's cool when he goes for them. It's good to see you. I mean, I guess like if you want to think it through, then Grievous
00:30:58
Speaker
killed all the Nightsisters like 30 years before this was before this takes place so maybe like she just looks different now like over to I I don't know but is that how they got a they disappeared because of Grievous Oh Grievous do not like them very much because um I think it's because I forget when it was it's in Clone Wars you can watch it that's seen in Clone Wars yeah oh he massacres is that in the final season
00:31:28
Speaker
No. I forget when it is, but I think it's because. No, I think it's just because it just doesn't like them.
00:31:37
Speaker
No, Palpatine finds out that they made Savage of Press and Darth Maul, and they're trying to get stuff back. So he's like, Revas, fuck him up. And he does it. Oh, I do remember this, because I remember that plot line. Yeah, no, he literally just destroys them. Yeah. And then in Jedi's, not Jedi's, but Everfall in Order, you go back to Dathomir, and they're all dead, and you're fighting zombies. And then you got one left. And you're like, she's pretty cool. I forget her name. You love that mission. I do. I love that game. You do? It's a great game. Did you beat the new one yet?
00:32:07
Speaker
Yeah, you like it yeah loved it 100% of it goes the first one better better much better I don't know about much better but better yeah, I Feel like second games usually are always better like always improve on something
00:32:23
Speaker
if if
00:32:40
Speaker
You know, games, you got to get like the base perks again. Yeah. All of the skills from Jedi Fallen Order, you just get them right away. It's perfect. Yeah, it would make sense for you to lose your skills. Yeah, it's because like even like equipment and stuff like you have a rebreather, you know, climb faster. Yeah, that's awesome. It's kind of like with like the Batman trilogy. It went like I'm sorry, which is great.
00:33:01
Speaker
Which is probably the best one and our nose is still banger like that's the other one my warfare my warfare 2 original my warfare 2 yeah dumb shit we got this last year Stupid as my warfare 2 but Red Dead 2 Right that too. So good. Yeah, I feel like it's kind of got normal thing like games. It's like normal movies. It's not yeah a lot of times. Oh
00:33:25
Speaker
Another thing we're doing, uh, we're ranking top 10 video games of all time with Danny Dorito. Most of you know him from stream tech talk and Instagram where he has over a hundred thousand followers on Instagram. I don't remember how many, I know he has like 400 and something on tech talk. 400 something thousand. Yeah. Yeah. That's something interesting. Yeah. Top 10 video games of all time. It's going to be a, I'd list for me. It's gonna be an odd list for all of us. Cause I have some very specific games that like,
00:33:55
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going all the way back to the PS2. But yeah, I think that'll be a really fun episode. Yeah, no, I'm gonna have to pick some out of my ass, cause other than that, it's just like Call of Duty, Modern Warfare. I feel like you played a lot of games though. I played a good one. I could get 10. Cause NHL Slash has gotta be on your list. But I feel like there's gonna be some big time video game fans who are like,
00:34:20
Speaker
You didn't have more Mario 64 like you didn't have a wild or something. Yeah No, I have a pretty good idea what's gonna be on that list But no, that's a very fun episode because we have been talking for a while prices to start of this about doing video game episodes We just never get around Literally the first episode we were like we'll talk video games. Yeah We've never done like an episode about it
00:34:43
Speaker
Yeah, I think we will eventually spider-man that God we should do one review spider-man 2 experiment it was Sorry, I'm joking. It's very good gonna be Phenomenal. Oh, you're talking the game. Oh, I thought you meant the movie. That's okay. I just looked over and I was like
00:35:01
Speaker
No, I mean the game I said we do the game I'm pumped for the game No, we never finished Skywalker saga now we never did week week you would said dude every episode we did on here I was like you would say like we'll review it a little bit and I just stayed silent I was like, yeah
00:35:20
Speaker
I tried to play by myself. I was like, it's really not that fun. It's not getting fun after their first two secret Trilogies. Yeah, but uh, yeah, do you have anything else you want to say about circle?
Future Hopes for Ahsoka Series
00:35:32
Speaker
No Just you know, I hope it just kind of steps it up for a little bit more. When does it come out Tuesdays? I have no idea Well before we get going we gotta do of course our recommendation of the week What is yours? Mine Iran
00:35:49
Speaker
It was like a mix of like six voices I Cannot believe I have to be up in Six hours I have to be out of bed Don't know it's 9 o'clock 10 o'clock now. I think of before I
00:36:19
Speaker
I think my Netflix is messed up. I went on profiles. I hopped on Netflix and I'd go to, you know, profiles to pick mine. None of my family's name is on there. It is now Norm Carl with a K. Buford, Ferb and Baljeet. I don't know. Oh, so many of your family changes. They're facing probably characters. Oh, they are finishing first characters. Why am I firm?
00:36:49
Speaker
It's not even like pictures. It's Dr. Eggman from Sonic is the picture. You kind of are. You do give all Furb vibes. I swear to God. Furb gets the high check, bro. Actually, Furb's the Furb's realm. And you're very quiet. You said to me today, you probably said 170 words in the entire day. No, I definitely am, Furb. Bit of an engineer, too. I did some engineering today. I was trying to hook. I moved my PC off my desk. It was getting a little cluttered. So I put it on the ground right under it.
00:37:15
Speaker
And I was trying to figure out where to put my headphones. So what I ended up doing, I tried to get like a command strip hook to hang them on. I thought it'd be nice to put them on the wall, hang them there. It didn't fit. It wasn't big enough. So what I decided to do was take a clothes hanger and I snapped the hanger part off and I duct taped it to the wall. Now I hang my headphones on there. It works perfectly.
00:37:43
Speaker
Some some good engineering. It's the fact I can imagine you're good This is the move No, literally I just hell yeah, no, I held it up. I'm like, yeah, this fits perfectly Oh No, it was one of the plastic ones I had snapped it before I'd kept it just in case and that'll work out
00:38:07
Speaker
Yeah, you just kept a broken hanger. Yeah, okay. I throw out the base, but I was like you can't no Yes, I kept wrong with you. Why wouldn't I'm gonna need it? It ended up working out
00:38:21
Speaker
No, because I forgot I had it. And I was like, God, I got it. I was like, God, I get it. I got to buy another. I got to break another hanger. That sucks. And I open the closet. I'm like, yo, there's a hanger on the ground. And so I have a duct tape hanger on my wall. I hang my headphones on. It's amazing.
00:38:42
Speaker
What's your recommendation that we do? It's going to be Minecraft. We're going to stick with video games. Me and the fellows started up a realm the other day. We got our two week Minecraft kick going strong right now. All right. I'm killing it. I decided the kicks going to end.
00:38:58
Speaker
I'll keep it going. I definitely have the most playtime on. Every time I get on, I'm like, yeah, nobody's on right now. This kind of sucks. I'll get on. Yeah, get on. You can live with me. I built a nice lighthouse. You can live in the lighthouse. I'm just willing to live. No, nobody's living in the lighthouse. I'm willing to vote. That's not big enough.
00:39:18
Speaker
And asked me, he's like, are you Pattinson or Defoe? I'm like, you're Defoe. Probably Defoe. That's a good recommendation. Mine's my new show. I've been on quite a kick with. It's been the summer. I turned pretty.
00:39:36
Speaker
In the span of so I started it with my mom I said I'd watch it with her What's the first episode together second episode together? Okay, it's not terrible for themselves like pretty good and then my family won a trip
00:39:50
Speaker
And I watched episodes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 of season 1. And then I continued to watch episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of season 2. So I went to episode 6 now, the second season. And it only has 10 episodes in the second season. So how long are the episodes?
00:40:06
Speaker
an hour. What's the synopsis of this show? So wait, is this the one where the chicks get like the two boys and she's like, I'm hot now. I can be with these boys. They're brothers. Damn. That's rough. I saw the trailers for that. I know what you're talking about. Was it good? It's pretty good. I like this kind of shows. You know. Wait, there's two seasons of it? I mean, a third one. I thought it was just one. Oh, dude, people love this show.
00:40:32
Speaker
I'm team. You know, I remember seeing those trailers fan of that Tell me what team you guys are on team comrade. Don't stop don't point at them Don't point at them. This is to you though, right? It's to you I'll break that finger Bitch, I dare you that you'll get out of the army faster. No, I won't
00:40:53
Speaker
Slow down my process. I broke my middle finger Yeah, let me know if you guys are team comrade or team Jeremiah or the really cool people the niche community of team cams That's me. You don't have him. What's the show? I don't know who's cam cam. She's like the first guy that she meets He's super is he the guy that's like she kind of likes him, but like he's not a bad boy enough for her kind of
00:41:18
Speaker
Actually, that's how like all these shows go. That's like, that's the only reason I hate those kind of shows. I can't compare it to like One Tree Hill. Cause like One Tree Hill, like there was basketball. So it was kind of fun. Did you actually, did you see that reunion they had the other day? That was not the other day. It wasn't a year and a half ago. I just saw it this morning. I don't know why it goes back up in my feed today though, but it was like a year and a half ago. It's a good show. Why's One Tree Hill? The last two seasons aren't great. The first seven are pretty, pretty good.
00:41:47
Speaker
Chad Michael Murray. I don't know. You know who Chad Michael Murray is? Did you ever watch Cinderella's story? With the quarterback? I don't know why I went like this since that quarterback. No, he didn't. What's that one movie where the guy's like throwing the footballs like that? Every movie ever. No, but there's one where like they're walking and he's like, it's bad. No. Hollywood. After you fix your writers, try and pay the fucking writers and actors, you dumb bitches.
00:42:15
Speaker
Figure out, teach people how to throw a football, throw in a movie. I'm tired of seeing people go, ugh! And it goes like, and like, knuckling. Figure your shit out. Dude, my uncle can throw a knuckle football. It's pretty impressive. I can do a knuckle ball. Remember I learned with Nate? I was just standing, I realized it's just an arm angle I had to do. That was fun. But uh, we gotta play baseball soon. We could play baseball soon.
00:42:48
Speaker
October's coming red October's on the way. Yeah, baby filly's one again today three nothing But uh, I did got the sweep over the Cardinals. It was nice going to the game. Wow. Yep after I army for 12 hours. Yeah Get to see Otani hit which I'm actually excited for as much as I don't want
00:43:07
Speaker
him to hit home run. It would be kind of cool. It'd be pretty cool to see one in the first inning get destroy the rest of the game. Yeah. Sorry. But yeah. Anything else.
00:43:18
Speaker
No, that's it. Wait, so let's talk about the summer became pretty what's what's it about? All right, talk to me about this because I want to know you seem to love this show and I'm You seem to love it and I'm never gonna watch it. So explain it to me. So there's three books, right and It's about there's these two best friends two girls and the one girl is rich, you know, what's like normal like us know the road families and
00:43:47
Speaker
They become friends for like the whole childhood and then they buy a beach home, the one mom, but she has the other mom over every summer, like the whole summer. And eventually they have kids, the kids come and stay with them now too. And Belly, the girl, she's been going every year with her and her brother and then Conrad Jeremiah, the other boys.
00:44:08
Speaker
And then this is the other family. Yes, there's two boys Jeremiah and Kyra the two boys she likes but she's like family to her Which kind of makes it weird when they say that right? Um, she's loved comrades and she was like a little kid like it was her first crush first love like all this stuff and finally she kind of hits puberty and then she It's a summer I turned pretty right and uh, but it's really like even if it's late just a girl with glass on it's just her She's pretty she's pretty
00:44:38
Speaker
Like she would be pretty with the guys on cuz I'm not if anyone's watched should be weird cuz she's like cuz she doesn't when she's younger like and then I know what you know, you know what I mean? Like the truck you're trying to not I don't But then She wants to go Conrad like Jeremiah kind of Express his feelings in her right cam. Oh, it's like her first like crush now and
00:45:04
Speaker
Pretty good. And then her friend showed up Taylor. What? Not crazy. What? No. Their brother's best friends would come around Jeremiah though. Oh my god, dude. This show sounds really... Dude, I mean... Oh no, I cry at the finale. Did you? Dude, I mean, it's one of the saddest TV scenes ever. No, like... Does she just not get laid? No, it's nothing to do with her. It's nothing to do with her character. Oh. No, it's just sad. Like, I called my mom. Really? I was just crying. Just sad.
00:45:33
Speaker
Somebody just die or something? Yeah, but like not like a violent that like just a sad one It's sad It's just kind of out of nowhere. No, you know, it's coming. I think it's what makes it even worse Yeah, cuz there's nothing more 13 reasons why the counting down No, when um when what's his name died at the end of AIDS? And it just kind of happens on a note. Did you not finish that show? No
00:45:57
Speaker
Oh my god, so you know, you're the football guy Who like starts out as a bully and then kind of like becomes friends with the main guy the one who's actually gay But he doesn't really talk about it. No, that's the guy who shows the broomstick of the other kids ass Yeah, not that guy that guy's a jerk. He does get murdered in prison though, which kind of yeah they try to do like a whole like with the gay stuff to try to make him seem like Sympathetic and then he goes to jail for the broomstick thing and gets shanked and murdered in jail immediately so
00:46:24
Speaker
Yeah, but Justin I think he was a guy who was like best Yeah, yeah, so he he dies at AIDS yes Sorry, I guess it's taking a turn has he um
00:46:41
Speaker
So the main guy, the guy from Wallows, the singer, so his family adopts Justin. They end up adopting him because he has no home, he's homeless, they adopt him, whatever. He ends up, it's going good, and then like halfway through to the final season, he goes back on the drugs, he's doing heroin again, he goes out, and then he comes back and they're at prom.
00:47:03
Speaker
And I mean, like all of a sudden, as far as I remember it, it could have been some build up that I just missed all of a sudden. He just passes out. And then this is the last step. This is less like 30 minutes of the show. Maybe he just passes out. He's in the hospital. Two minutes later, he's flat lining. Like it's just out of nowhere. He dies of AIDS from like the needles when he was doing heroin. It's just crazy. Well, now there's a lot of cool shit to look up, guys. I think we did a good job.
