Things go south fast when Baby Yoda treats the eggs like a personal snack bar, and a pit stop on an icy planet unleashes a horde of nightmare fuel spider-creatures.

Introduction to 'The Passenger' and Peyton Reed
00:00:37
Speaker
Welcome back to Han Took Shots First. This week we're talking about Chapter 10 of The Mandalorian, The Passenger. Ooh. I'm Trapper Wolf. I'm Frog the Bounty Humper.
00:00:50
Speaker
Let the Spotchka flow. First for things first. Very funny. Tail the tape. Very funny to me, unless they did it on purpose as like a wink wink nudge nudge.
00:01:01
Speaker
The director of this episode... is Peyton Reed. I don't know if you know that name porn star. No, but his close his biggest thing is he directed his penis the Ant-Man movies.
00:01:16
Speaker
Oh, OK. And this movie has or this episode has a giant sentient ant and he fights bugs. I didn't even think about the fucking Dr. Thorax.
00:01:29
Speaker
Dr. Mandible, dude. Oh, shit, so close. Dr. Thorax. Who am I? I went dirty. But I also found out by looking at... Because I knew he directed Ant-Man. As soon as I saw the name, I was like, that's funny.
00:01:40
Speaker
Because Ant-Man was one I had followed very closely because it was originally supposed to be directed by... Yeah, Edgar Wright. And then Peyton Reed took over, and I was like who the fuck is Peyton Reed? So I looked this stuff up, though. Nobody Apparently, he directed...
00:01:53
Speaker
ah Half of the Back to the Future animated series, that was like his first thing. So you got to start somewhere. Yeah. He directed The Love Bug, um the one with Lindsay Lohan.
00:02:07
Speaker
ah But then he directed some episodes of the weird, or I think every episode of the Weird Al show and a few episodes of Mr. Show with Bob and David, which I was at a show.
00:02:17
Speaker
Yeah, it was called. i mean, I think it more than one, but there's definitely a show called the Weird Al show. It was 13 episodes and he directed all of them. Hold
Comedic Elements in The Mandalorian
00:02:25
Speaker
on to last key vids. But yeah, he directed some Mr. Show with Bob and David, which is a fucking.
00:02:31
Speaker
top tier like sketch comedy show from the nineties. Yes. If you haven't seen it, do yourself, do yourself a favor and go fucking see it. All the sketch comedy shows that you liked that aren't named Seinfeld or ah sorry, Saturday live watch this show.
00:02:45
Speaker
Yeah. I remember when I first showed it to Whitney, um it was on HBO Max and I was like, oh shit, Mr. Show. like like well she It took me a minute to convince her and I was like, just watch an episode. It's really funny. Trust me. this first The first episode is killer. like If you're not sure, go to episode one. It's not one of those ones where it's like, check out episode six. You're saying, what a rarity. Normally it's like, well I tried it, dude. I didn't like it. No, no, no. You got to wait until season two, episode four is when it really kicks off. If you don't like episode one, you're not to like their humor.
00:03:16
Speaker
yeah I believe episode one is the one that has the ah ah don't put your dick in these holes. Anyway, ah um it's a great episode, but like we put it on and We were both laughing and she's like, let's watch another one.
00:03:29
Speaker
And then we sat there and watched almost two seasons of Mr. Show with Bob and David in one night. It's a good
Essential Workers During COVID-19
00:03:35
Speaker
night. That's a good night. ah big So anyway, Peyton redirected some of those. And then this was written by Jon Favreau.
00:03:44
Speaker
Original air date November 6th, 2020. It's almost my birthday. Still sitting at home, guys. i mean, lucky people were. Yeah, we were still going to work.
00:03:56
Speaker
Because we were were essential, damn it. I have that shirt that has the ah quotes essential. Yeah. I'm essential. What do you do? Bartender. You know what? That's actually the definition of
Is 'The Passenger' a Filler Episode?
00:04:07
Speaker
essential, especially in end times. so the government As I said, the government figured out like we have we're making people stay at home.
00:04:13
Speaker
If we can't give them booze and weed, we're going to have full-on fucking riots and rebellions. Nobody freak out. We were selling to-go's. True. Don't don't give me some comments like blood is on your hands. We got plenty of those phone calls during COVID.
00:04:27
Speaker
Yeah. So I didn't serve one fucking person. It was all to goes. So, yes, let's talk about this. Chapter 10, The Passenger. and i couldn't remember when the episode happened.
00:04:42
Speaker
i don't. But as soon as I saw the title, I was like, oh I know which episode this is. hmm. This is the one that pissed a bunch of people up I thought it was later because, I mean, the frog lady very memorable.
00:04:54
Speaker
Grogu eating the eggs, very memorable. And I think I know a little bit why people are pissed off and I'm not pissed off by it. Well, it's just
Grogu's Egg Incident Controversy
00:05:01
Speaker
this episode one of this season was such a fucking banger. So much happened that this one everyone's calling a filler episode.
00:05:08
Speaker
Look, you want to know the whole the secret? This is a filler show. This is a side quest show at this point. Yeah. Well, that was the thing. I remember when this episode aired, ah like distinctly this episode because it was the spiders and stuff, a lot of people who were talking about it because everybody was watching it were like,
00:05:28
Speaker
It just felt like you said, like filler. It's like, it's silly. Like, what is the point of this? And I was like, did you watch season one? Yeah, like it is filler. Like there's the so is everything.
00:05:39
Speaker
The mud horn and the the prisoner episode and learning how to fucking ride one of those little blurbs, dude. Like, yeah, it's I know it all comes back in a sense. And this will, too.
00:05:50
Speaker
Yeah. Well, and like in this one, i just mentioned the prisoner that comes back in this episode. ah Like it's side shit, but they work it into the lore and it can't all be if it's all important. Like if it's
Peyton Reed's Influence and Inside Jokes
00:06:05
Speaker
all main story, then your show is I mean, these are only, what, eight eight episodes a season? Yeah, eight. guess I couldn't, it doesn't really apply, but it feels tedious when your whole show is story points.
00:06:20
Speaker
But I think it's just that people were, like you need to take a breath after an episode like we just had. Fucking Greater Kray Dragon, dude, that's a that's a banger episode because it's a big thing to do.
00:06:32
Speaker
Not to say this is boring, but you need a slower. You need to take a breath. This isn't boring because we have a fucking spider chase. That's a wild sentence to say. Well, and listen to the fucking music in this episode because it varies wildly. I mean, I have a note in here about the Amblin-style dream music from the 80s, like dreamy, happy music, followed immediately by a note about horror movie music. Dude dude gets the assignment.
00:06:59
Speaker
Yeah. Ludwig? The other thing that really pissed people Ludwig Göransson? Yeah, Ludwig Göransson or Göransson maybe. He understood the assignment. Yeah. He scored some movies I didn't like, but I don't remember if the scores were good or not because I was so busy watching the movie and not caring.
00:07:15
Speaker
Yeah. um But one of the other big things that this... got people mad about and it wasn't people, anybody I knew, but apparently it was a big social media thing.
00:07:26
Speaker
Those people were really pissed off about like they were really criticizing the the child eating the frog lady's eggs because they're like horrified because it's an endangered family line.
00:07:37
Speaker
But then like I did find a piece of IMDb trivia about it that made me laugh because this person mentioned mentions that which is IMDb trivia because it is a thing that happened. But then they like editorialize it in parentheses and they're
Mando's Adventures and Negotiations
00:07:51
Speaker
editorializing is hilarious. It's like and ah seemingly they forgot the eggs are unfertilized. Beside the fact that this is all purely fictional.
00:07:58
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Yes. Well said. i mean, if if chickens were sentient, maybe we wouldn't eat their eggs, but maybe we still would. We're pretty we're pretty much an egg society.
00:08:10
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, that's I remember watching this episode with Whitney and just being like, oh, man, he is trying to extinct this family line. And like we laughed about it because it's a fucking gleep glob fucking a frog creature from space. Exactly. But everyone's everyone's looking at it like, well, this is my Grogu.
00:08:28
Speaker
This is my he's my my special boys. My good boy. He's the he's the hero says who? Right now he's a fucking 50-year-old baby with a duck butt for a head. Like, it's fine.
00:08:39
Speaker
He's been eating sentient creatures since the moment we saw him. Also, speaking speaking of Mr. Show with Bob and David real quick, that's they were the ones who said Gleep Glop. I'm giving them credit. Nice. Fuck yeah. That's the first Gleep Glop, huh?
00:08:52
Speaker
think so. Because that is just a term now. Yeah.
00:08:57
Speaker
Oh, shit. I had something to say. No, it's fine. We're talking about Grogu eating baby eggs. Yours is much better. Oh, I think that Grogu's much like a cat. Like, if my cat was big enough, she would hurt me. That's just how cats work.
00:09:10
Speaker
if they if If this little house cat was a panther, it would eat me. If Grogu could eat Mando, he would. Well, when fucking Mando fight after they crash, we'll get to the we'll get to the episode. But after they crash and Mando finds him underneath like a blanket, just nomming down on frog eggs.
00:09:26
Speaker
he's like, how many did you eat? And he just goes and pops one in his mouth. It's fucking hilarious. ah This one makes a baker's dozen. blue How many kids do they need?
00:09:38
Speaker
So if just one of these eggs makes it, I'm not saying I'm going to eat them all, but if I ate all but one, are they okay? I mean, you don't need two. what are they breeding with their sisters and brothers? That's weird. Ew. What are they, Targaryens?
00:09:55
Speaker
So I do love the way this one starts, though. It's this... You know, we talked in the last episode about the the wide aspect ratio on this. It's this big sweeping vista of Tatooine with the twin sons and Mando mobbing down on his fucking speeder bike.
00:10:11
Speaker
And it just it's a gorgeous fucking shot. Yeah. And it's probably all CG, but it looks fucking good. It looks great. It's ah it's the good CG, George. Yeah.
00:10:23
Speaker
And um we do we see these bandits, or I guess they're... Are they are
Star Wars Universe and Iconic Locations
00:10:27
Speaker
they bounty hunters? Or just bandits. Where are talking? and at the At the beginning of episode 10, these guys... They would be just bandits, I think. Okay, I wasn't sure because there's the one guy...
00:10:40
Speaker
God, he's one of the, not he, but the race is one of the pirates later. I always forget the name. Nikto. There's one of the Nikto's who we definitely saw in the Bounty Hunters Guild. there's one of the There's the little guy who we definitely saw in the Bounty Hunters. So I'm wondering if these are Bounty Hunters looking for Mando.
00:10:55
Speaker
The little robot guy ah comes back in episode seven of the, God, I should stop speaking episodes. The little robot, like Jawa-looking robot, they come back in Force Awakens.
00:11:07
Speaker
Okay. I was actually wondering while watching it. I was actually wondering while watching it if it was like, this is a battle Jawa. Yeah. But I did read something and it's a different race. It is. It is. And we'll see.
00:11:19
Speaker
I didn't even think about the fact that they could be hunt hunters. I literally just thought they're like, they heard a fucking speeder. Because, I mean, you know it's a wide, vast, open space where you would hear a speeder be like, we got 10 minutes. One of them. trap.
00:11:34
Speaker
so they set up this trip wire and they, they make Mando crash and one of them yells, get the child. So that's what, that's what made me think if maybe they were bounty hunters. and Okay. You're, I think you're a hundred percent right now that I forgot they said that because then later the rope of the battle Jawa, he has a knife to the kid's throat and, and, and Mando was able to talk him down. He's like, you can take anything you want.
00:11:57
Speaker
me thinking mistakenly that's what they were there for no it was a negotiation he's like oh fuck you just
X-Wing Chase and Icy Planet Crash
00:12:03
Speaker
killed all of my guys now it's just me i will just take your jetpack that's yeah that's fine i was i was here for the kid i was on the on the hunt from somebody paid me you know we don't know gideon's still out there he we know he does mando doesn't know gideon's still out there Yeah, and and because Carl Weathers had told him he was going to wipe his record with the Bounty Hunters Guild, but that doesn't stop Moff Gideon from hiring people.
00:12:29
Speaker
Right. so Gideon knows that precious cargo. I do love during the fight, um the little dude grabs the the... He gets knocked down, and he runs over and opens the biggest... He opens the biggest gun case and grabs this gun that's like three times his height.
00:12:46
Speaker
Just imagine Warwick Davis, who i who we love. No one's making fun of Warwick Davis. But imagine Warwick Davis doing the scene that Arnold Schwarzenegger does in Terminator 2 with the minigun just mowing down cop cars. That's what I want you to imagine for a second.
00:13:02
Speaker
I'm also thinking, ah again, Arnold in Commando with the rocket launcher with the four rockets in it. The quad rocket launcher. Okay, so imagine Warwick Davis with a minigun circa twenty ah Terminator 2, or imagine Dana DeVito with a quad rocket launcher circa Commando. Take your choices.
00:13:21
Speaker
But it's it's not like a real gun. It's like ah a grappling gun or something because he shoots a ah cable out of it. But Mando ends up grabbing it. No, Mando shoots the cable at the gun. Oh, does he? Okay. I think i miss this is a equivalent of like a 50 cal versus body armor where it's like, oh, that shit, that that might actually bust up my armor.
00:13:40
Speaker
Okay, I missed that because I saw the cable and then, yeah but I thought Mando just grabbed it. so It's a very rare time of a Mandalorian using a fucking wrist cable in a good manner. But he pulls that fucking cable over and uses it to knock out these other two dudes.
00:13:55
Speaker
And so it's just our little guy who's grabbed ah the baby and yeah, he's he's holding a knife to his throat and having negotiations with Mando. And he's like, all right, I'll give you.
00:14:06
Speaker
There's a bunch of cool shit on that speeder over there. I'll give you any of it if you give me the child. I want to imagine that that is a little, little tiny alien species using like some sort of mech suit to even look that big. Because it's all hollow.
00:14:22
Speaker
The eyes are hollow. The hands are robotic like. ah Was that Men in Black? Oh, it was Men in Black. Men in Black did have that guy that was inside the robot, yada, yada. Yeah, but he ends up going for the jetpack, yeah, and he gives it to him, and this little dude runs off with the jetpack, and I just love Mando. I win, I got something.
00:14:42
Speaker
Mando's like, hey, little kid, are you okay? And he's meh, and he goes, okay, cool. Remote start, and this fucking jetpack just takes this dude up in the air, and he hits some other shit, and you just see this little guy,
00:14:54
Speaker
so and Just plummet He's dead when you said this guy comes back in episode 7 You don't mean this guy Unless it is just some sort of drone.
00:15:07
Speaker
Yeah, fair. It's the, ah what the fuck is their name? Azaleans? Babu Frick. It was the only good part, one of the only good parts of the sequel trilogy.
00:15:19
Speaker
And they come back in the season three. Bad baby, no squeezy. Oh, those little guys. Yeah, the ones that are living living in the walls of ah Navarro. Yeah.
00:15:30
Speaker
Babu Frick is the named one that we meet in episode. damn it. And, um, rise of the Skywalker. You can say, yeah so these are chapters. Damn it.
00:15:41
Speaker
Okay. That does make better sense. Cause that's the thing. I was like, do I say season two, episode two, or do I say chapter 10? I'm going to say chapter 10. Chapter 10 is how it's written IMDb and they're always right.
00:15:52
Speaker
Yep. Trivia and otherwise. IMDb never fucks up. They've never messed up. Don't check that. I love him wandering into town. Like he takes all the shit he needs, which is like his supplies, the man, the Boba Fett armor and everything. It's the jerk.
00:16:06
Speaker
I don't need anything else. Just this this baby and that's it. The baby in the armor, just the baby in the armor, the baby, the armor and the blaster. I don't need anything else with besides my baby, my arm, my armor, my blaster and this
Spider Attack and X-Wing Rescue
00:16:19
Speaker
rocket pack. All right, fine. I need the baby, the armor, the rocket pack. It made me think of I just watched um ah Baby Cart to River Styx, which is ah the second of the lone wolf and cub movies.
00:16:33
Speaker
Oh, okay. What did you say to me? It's the second of the Lone Wolf and Cub movies. I mean, I've seen it before. I just watched it the other night. And I mean, most of the time he's got the baby in the baby cart because that's kind of the whole thing.
00:16:44
Speaker
Little bassinet thing. Every, every, or most of the episodes are named. It's like baby cart in peril, baby cart to the river sticks, whatever. But it still gave me that vibe of him walking in. He's got, um, Grogu and his like,
00:16:56
Speaker
Fucking and talking about messenger bag. you You just made Ryan real happy. He fucking loves those. I mean, those movies are so good. Like it's such a slow. I know of them because of him. The one I could recommend the most to like most American viewers who don't watch Japanese cinema would be Shogun Assassin, which is like ah they take one and two and edit them together to make a more exciting one movie.
00:17:20
Speaker
But like they're great because like it's a lot of slow burn. But when you get to the action, it's crazy. And watching those is crazy. It's seeing how much they influenced so many things. The second one, the the main bad guys are three assassins who walk around with these big ah like straw hats that hang down all the way over their head. Very weird.
00:17:39
Speaker
It's almost like i've I've seen that before. ah Cloud John Carpenter. might Yeah, exactly. Like it's. But ah and so much anime and stuff. I mean, it's yeah. But either way, you check guys out you mentioned obviously Big Trouble in Little China, but that's that's the live action version. There's so many fucking manga, animes and shit that have been doing that since that.
00:17:59
Speaker
I mean, fucking Raiden. Yeah. Yeah. you you I'm sorry. When you, I recently, I think I told you fucking the lady took me out, uh, like a month ago and we ended up watching big trouble, a little China theaters, which was a fucking hoot.
00:18:14
Speaker
It's, it's, it's a better mortal combat movie than most mortal combats. Yeah. Like it has everything that mortal combat does and it's pre that obviously. So obviously somebody is watching that like,
00:18:25
Speaker
We can make that. I mean, this new one might be the best one, but we have to wait and see it first. We'll see. That trailer looks like they're giving us combat that is mortal, though. I mean, on the regular feed, which is Bad Movies, Worst People, which where all these are going to go to eventually, so you might as well get familiar, that Mortal Kombat movie will be talked about.
00:18:44
Speaker
Oh, we could talk about all three of them so far. Oh, yeah. Annihilation is the worst one, but it's also the funnest one when you're hammered. ah But when he's wandering into town with all this stuff, that's what it gave me vibes of was ah Lone Wolf and Cub. Because it's like he's got the stuff over his shoulders.
00:19:02
Speaker
Everything's hanging off. It's just this dude wandering in like I'm going to carry all of my belongings on my back, walk into this desolate town. It's very much got those vibes. And he goes into this is the titular Mos Eisley Cantina, because the only reason I know that is because when they do a quick panning shot to set everything up, you see the IG head. It's like a drink dispenser now. Yeah. Yeah. The IG tap.
00:19:28
Speaker
um And there's a guy, ah one of these big fucking hairy dudes. um God, I can't think of what the race was now. I started saying something last week's episode about it, and I was like, oh, that's for next week.
00:19:43
Speaker
Apparently, he's got, like, stains on his fur that are the same as whatever the species was that pops up in Solo from the Kesselmines, because you had brought up the Kesselmines. I mean, ah the Wookiees are there, and the Pikes.
00:19:59
Speaker
The Pikes are the ones running Kesselmines. There's something besides the Wookiees, though. There's another... okay is it is ah Is it that same fucking species from Andor? All right, I can't find it.
00:20:10
Speaker
But I had read something about... ah it It has popped up in other shows. Oh, yeah. Gigoran. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Or whatever. um Gigoran, Gigorian. It's because they were in Rogue. Not not and or Rogue One.
00:20:26
Speaker
I think I don't know if they well, this this might be old fucker. It says here Rogue One, but this might have been written when the show came out when this show came out, which would be pre and or so. I believe it's both. like It could just be Rogue One, but I think we'll see it in both. Yeah. Like i said, this show could be or this piece of trivia that I saw could be pre and and or because the show came out before season one of Andor.
00:20:50
Speaker
So, but yeah, the Gigeren, but it says, uh, the one scene here has Kessel mine spice stains and it's for same as the Gigeren named Senna that's in solo ah star Wars story.
00:21:04
Speaker
I don't know if we actually get the name Senna or if that's just something that people made up. Cause I mean, one of these IMDB trivias has the names of all four of these fucking dudes who attack Mando. Oh, so, so there's somebody made up names.
00:21:15
Speaker
Either way, so this thing has escaped from Kessel mines or the the the spice mines in Kessel. had a rough life. Yeah. But either way, like he go in there, he he goes up to Palimoto. She's sitting there talking with this literal just giant ant called Dr. Mandible.
00:21:31
Speaker
Yeah. Sorry. Some people say Dr. Thorax. And this is another trivia thing. But, you know, when it comes to the Star Wars stuff, I tend to believe the trivia when it gets into like the the weird lore because it's somebody who read all the books. It's just somebody's life.
00:21:45
Speaker
Yeah. So he's a, it says Dr. Mandible, massive ant-like creature looks a lot like the species known as Killick. If that is in fact what the good doctor is, which is how they wrote it, which is hilarious.
00:21:57
Speaker
i didn't think you were paraphrasing. It marks the first live action appearance of the species. The creatures were first introduced in the novel Dark Nest One, the Joyner King.
00:22:08
Speaker
So it's just, I would assume that's what it is because that would be Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Yep. Probably Dave Filoni. I was going to say, being like I know this fucking ant. um I know this ant guy and he'd be great because get it. Cause Peyton Reed directed Ant-Man. It'd be funny. There's actually an ant species so we can put that in.
00:22:28
Speaker
Yeah. So now that i now that I'm coming all the way around to it, I'm like, that it was a joke. Because patley that's Dave Filoni like, ah you're known for Ant-Man. It'd be funny. And there's an ant alien.
00:22:41
Speaker
There's like 20 people that'll think is super funny. Dude, everybody who watched or everybody who read Dark Nest the Joyner King will laugh their balls off.
00:22:52
Speaker
I mean, Filoni's a real one, dude. When I talk about Star Wars ned nerds, man, that guy has read and consumed and in played every piece of content that he could because he is a Star Wars junkie.
00:23:04
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, more than you. Yeah. Which is insane. It is. It's absolutely insane. I also like having sex. so I'm sure he also likes it, too. Like, you have more than one Mandalorian helmet behind you, more than one Star Wars gun. and i got more than one yodel.
00:23:21
Speaker
This guy has a house that is just filled with stuff dedicated to that guy that he loves, whose name I thought I was going to remember. Motherfucker, if I had the money, I would walk around in the imperial the Royal Guard outfit every day of my life that I could.
00:23:42
Speaker
and you know what's funny? I mean, we'll talk about it eventually because we'll get to season... Was it the end of this or season three when um Luke shows up? But Dave Filoni had spread...
00:23:55
Speaker
daveony had spread rumors that Plo Koon was going to be the one showing up because people know that he loves Plo Koon. So they were like, oh, we believe it because everyone's like, well, we need, obviously there's going be some Jedi, some legacy Jedi from, you know, legacy.
00:24:12
Speaker
We, we know it's going somebody who's going to be, um It's going to be Plo Koon. I heard you starting with George Lucas. started with George, dude. um Actually, instead of me answering, I'm going to have Dave Filoni answer.
00:24:25
Speaker
and It's going to be Plo Koon.
00:24:29
Speaker
Hey guys, I don't want to sound needy here. i'm needy.

00:25:35
Speaker
I don't think that's what he said. i think she's just pissed because she's not going to get her money. ah So he covers the bet. He ah Dr. Mandible loses. She gets her money and gets the fuck out of there. It's a Ray dude.
00:25:49
Speaker
I love on her way out. She's like, hope you brought some of that dragon meat. I'm I'm starving. Famish. I have been at this casino for days. I'm so spiced out apparently at ah maybe it's not a galaxy's edge at some Star Wars themed thing that Disney has. Maybe it's in Disneyland. Maybe it's somewhere else.
00:26:10
Speaker
There's a restaurant. and I can't remember the name of it, but they, they claim that they cook their meat this way and they have like a big, um, pod racer engine set up with like fire coming out and stuff. And, but it's all fake. Like obviously, galaxy's edge has something like that in the Anaheim one. I haven't been to the Disney world, but Disneyland has a fake engine set up cooking stuff.
00:26:37
Speaker
Yeah, I read about that and I was like, that's kind of cool. I mean, obviously, like ah the the the it was in IMDB Tree. The person's like, it's not actually operational. And I was like, no fucking shit, dude. i didn't think it was. I didn't think it was. People joke about being able to cook stuff on an engine that's overheating. I'm not going to eat it.
00:26:55
Speaker
Well, hold on. A little fucking aluminum foil hobo packet on a car motor? Not the worst thing. There's no aluminum foil here. You're just cooking with jet fumes.
00:27:07
Speaker
it's space fumes. They don't leave no sort of residue. I don't know what kind of fuel these pod racers burn, but I would imagine that the emissions are not, uh, fit. You don't think it's carbon neutral.
00:27:19
Speaker
No, man, this dragon meets making me trip balls. What'd you have in there? Oh, it's spice infused fuel. Oh, man, you got Cobb Vance with that little chair on his jet motor.
00:27:31
Speaker
I don't know how I'm able to drive. I'm so fucked up right now. He's like, this speeder is great because it gets me places. I can cook food and I can get stoned as fuck. And that's all in one thing.
00:27:43
Speaker
Everywhere I go. I'm full. I'm fucked up. I'm there. I'm there. This thing's great. I love Pelley Moto's comment here, though, because the droid is cooking the food, one the little pit droids.
00:27:57
Speaker
And she's like, ah ah don't overcook it. i don't like it. mediumn I like it medium rare. I'm not some Rodian. Rodian's just eating fucking well-done meat. Yeah, i'm like, burn on the Rodians, I guess. I don't know a lot about Rodians, but apparently they love overcooked meat. much You know what?
00:28:13
Speaker
I do know more about the Rodians than we have one as president. That's good. That's true. See, I like my steak well done. i mean, I'm sorry, my roadie and meat well done. However you say it.
00:28:25
Speaker
I want space ketchup.
00:28:29
Speaker
There's good sauces on both sides of the table. Yeah.
00:28:35
Speaker
One is a one, the other one's relish. I relish this moment. Who relish on a steak? Oh, it's well done. You love it. It's great. You'll never have another way, any other way you ever again.
00:28:49
Speaker
I don't even want my really thinly sliced ribeye that's on my fucking Philly cheesesteak well done. yeah
00:28:57
Speaker
I want you to. do you have like a little ah little ah torch back there? you know, creme brulee torch? Hit the fucking thin ribeye with that. Put it on some bread. Call it a day. Yeah, there you go
00:29:09
Speaker
ah But she's got a contact that will help lead him to the Mandalorians. The tradeoff is the contact wants passage to the system. And the catch is he can't use hyperspace.
00:29:20
Speaker
Now, I understand that this is a science fiction show that doesn't bother. It's not hard sci-fi. But my question is, how quickly can you get between star systems? Because she says system, not planet.
00:29:36
Speaker
Sublight. This is a years long journey. No. No, sublight? Sublight, which means less than light speed.
00:29:48
Speaker
He's if I was trying to get to Jupiter sub light speed, it would take me years. And the planets are pretty close together in this universe.
00:30:00
Speaker
Like I said, I started with I understand this is not hard sci fi. I'm not that worried about it. Well, I'll always remind people. George Lucas cares nothing about the science. Dave Filoni was trained by George Lucas. He's a Sith. Yeah, I know.
00:30:16
Speaker
um He's much like Asajj Ventress. He's is evil, but not that evil. he's he's He's only evil because that's how he was taught.
00:30:27
Speaker
No, I get what you're saying, but in this for whatever reason, this universe is science. Sublight is day or two. Yeah. Couldn't be much, much more.
00:30:38
Speaker
and We'll get there. it's just ah i just have to leave this solar system and get to another solar system. No, I think it's in the same. No, they said she said that the frog lady wants passage to the system.
00:30:50
Speaker
Oh, OK. And all I'm going to say is like the Voyager satellites were launched in the 70s and they exited our solar system in like the or mid two thousand and ten Yeah. So it's a long drive.
00:31:05
Speaker
But it doesn't matter because this isn't the real world. Their engines are better. They're carbon neutral and they get you stoned. Well, to be fair, we did launch those satellites and then they quickly ran out of fuel and we're just like, well, let's let them float.
00:31:18
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. But the thing is, this the the person who needs passage, the the creature who needs passage, is this frog lady. i know yeah Right? as I thought it was a really funny picture.
00:31:32
Speaker
ah She looks like she's doing karaoke. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. if People aren't. Not everybody's watching. Yeah. ah But she has tube full of eggs that need to be fertilized by the equinoce Equinox or her family line will end.
00:31:47
Speaker
ah The Frog Lady, by the way. Talk about waiting to the last fucking minute, dude. Right. Is the end your line like why you should have been doing this a long time ago. I mean, i I think we don't get all the details, but she talks about her husband went to this other system to set up a life for them. So maybe she waited until she heard back from him. Okay.
00:32:04
Speaker
so All right. Derek's being reasonable. The frog lady ah is played by Misty Rosas, ah which I think I mentioned her in an earlier episode, but she was the one who did the bodysuit stuff for Queel.
00:32:18
Speaker
Oh, that's yeah. Makes perfect sense. I mean, Star Wars loves to use actors that they don't have to show a face for over and over again. It's a good yeah cheap way to do it. Yeah. We keep this person on. We don't have to spend all that money putting a new person on payroll.
00:32:32
Speaker
We already know her. But of course, soon as they get on the ship, or even before they get on the ship, ah Grogu is eyeballing this tube of baby eggs.
00:32:44
Speaker
What's up with that snack tube? Dude, when they do get on the ship and they leave him alone and he's with the tube, ah ah don't have like an animated thing, but he's looking into this thing like longingly at these eggs. And you even see him at one point put his hands up and use his force powers to like pull the eggs towards him.
00:33:02
Speaker
And I'm like, that's some Sith shit, dude. That is misuse of the force. If I ever saw it. He's hungry. wants some chicky chicky egg egg. i like I remember this episode very well, but I didn't remember that part of him. like You see all of them start like slowly converging at his point. It's like ah those little balls with the electricity in them. He like touches his finger to it. Or it's like in Spencer's Gives Best.
00:33:25
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. Spencer's Gives Finest. But so Mando can't communicate with this lady. We find out she can understand him eventually. Yeah. But he's telling her like, hey, strap in, whatever.
00:33:38
Speaker
It's going to be a long ride because you don't want to go to hyperspace. ah Presumably it does something with the eggs or whatever. That's that's the only thing. there's like why He's like, why the fuck can't Wayne? The eggs won't be fertile.
00:33:50
Speaker
End of story. But he got he's like, I'm going to go take a nap. He goes down. And that's when he walks in on Grogu, just nomming on these baby eggs. Nom, nom, nom. No, nope that's a bad baby.
00:34:01
Speaker
Don't eat the baby eggs. No, squeezy.
00:34:08
Speaker
And so he goes to take a nap and is awoken by an alarm because they are now flanked by X-Wings. And we've got a one returning X-wing pilot and one new one.
00:34:20
Speaker
We have Trapper Wolf apparently played by Dave Filoni. So if I'm going to be a pilot, can I get like a really cool name? Like I don't want to be called Dave anymore.
00:34:32
Speaker
What's like, what's a cool name? ah Wolf. What about Trapper? Yeah. My name's be Trapper Wolf because that's fucking awesome. No, even better.
00:34:43
Speaker
when he He was one of those kids that you went to high school with who was like... His name was like Clint or something. And he's like, no, call me Rain. Like one of the goth kids, you know? whatever. was like, no, i chose I chose my own name.
00:34:58
Speaker
it's It's Storm Thunder. And like lyn that was that was him in high school with the fucking hat. He still had the hat. This hat has not left him since he was 14. And he's like... My name's not Dave. Call me Wolf. I'm a wolf because I'm vicious and I travel in a pack of one.
00:35:14
Speaker
I'm a wolf pack of one. Dude, this hat is an early life decision. That's for sure. Yeah. We're hypothesizing, but that's for sure. like this was not a late stage life choice.
00:35:26
Speaker
this is hat You don't turn 35 like... five like I think I'll wear an Indiana Jones hat from now on. You've done this for a while. And he added the Trapper in his twenty s when he started doing cosplay. He's like, ah this character is an X-Wing pilot named Trapper Wolf. And now that he's in charge, he's like, this is now a real character.
00:35:47
Speaker
Cannon, bitch. I want to say that there's a Wolf Squadron in Clone Wars that he invented. i i think that's I think that's right. like Either there's a character named Wolf there's a Wolf Squadron.
00:36:01
Speaker
but That would make sense. That would make perfect fucking sense. And then the other X-Wing pilot is Captain Cooper, who pops up in at least at well in this, Boba Fett and Ahsoka, I believe.
00:36:13
Speaker
and This Paul Sun-Hyung Lee. The biggest thing I know from him What did you say his character name is? Because that's not right. Cooper. Captain Cooper. Carson Teva.
00:36:25
Speaker
Or Carson? Yeah, Carson. Oh, I don't know. T-E-V-A. I don't know how I wrote that. Above it, I have Wolf and Carson. And below it, I have Captain Cooper for some reason. I think you had autocorrect fucking problem. But but all the all the credits on IMDb just say Captain Carson. Sorry, that's what is. Carson, not Cooper.
00:36:43
Speaker
ah The reason I know his name because it's Carson Teva, I thought his first name was Car and his last name was Centava. That's a very Star Wars thing. No, it's Carson. dave Okay.
00:36:55
Speaker
So Captain Carson Tava played by a Paul Sun Hyung Lee, who I know the most from Kim's convenience. Have you ever watched that show at all?
00:37:06
Speaker
No. I mean, I fucking hilarious. I know him from this and then everybody, every Star Wars thing I've ever like read or listened to or watched.
00:37:16
Speaker
loves that fucking show that you're talking about because it's really funny. Everyone, everyone talks about him like he's a fucking, uh, uh, just treasure. He is, um, so it's Koreans who live, I believe they're in Canada. They're in Toronto or something and they own a convenience store. So Kim's convenience,
00:37:35
Speaker
And yeah he's he's doing the the Pat Morita thing where he's putting on the accent and stuff because he's supposed to yeah him him and his wife are immigrants to Canada. And then his daughter and son and all their friends are like so at least second generation kids. Right. So very thick accent. Yeah. So he's got the very thick one.
00:37:54
Speaker
And it also has. um Oh, I can't think of his name right now, but ah um Randall. Yeah, the Ten Rings Shang-Chi, the guy that plays Shang-Chi in the Legend of the Ten Rings Marvel movie. Oh, I couldn't tell you his name. I can't think of his name right now, but he's he's their son.
00:38:13
Speaker
They're like a strange son, and then they have the daughter. and like it's it's It's a really funny show. like i never I never really watched it because ah it's sitcom-esque, but it's like newer sitcom, and I was like...
00:38:25
Speaker
It's probably not good. Sitcoms just haven't been good for a long time. And Whitney started watching it. And then I sat down i started watching it with her. I was like, this is fucking hilarious. Yeah. All right. And he's part of it. He's part of the one of the main reasons that show is so funny. He is fucking great.
00:38:39
Speaker
Cool. But that's why everyone speaks about him so highly then. Yeah. I guess there was a, an interview that was in a star Wars insider magazine. Like, um,
00:38:51
Speaker
from a while back, like 2012. And he's talking about, um, working with Deborah Chow and, uh, cause he had worked with her like 25 years ago on something.
00:39:03
Speaker
And she approached him about working on some stuff in 2018
00:39:10
Speaker
um for the the show. I don't know. This doesn't make sense. It says it was from 2012, but he approached... Either way, the interview was in Star Wars Insider. ah Wikipedia doesn't know what it's talking about.
00:39:23
Speaker
But he had talked to Deborah Chow. She offered him a role. And he basically told her, like, um I have eight Star Wars cosplay costumes at home. And so, like, he sent pictures to he sent pictures to her. She sent them to Dave Filoni.
00:39:37
Speaker
And he was just like, holy shit, this dude could just show up in his own costume. Yeah. like So let's hire him. So do you want wear my Porkins outfit? Because I have a Porkins cosplay, dude.
00:39:47
Speaker
So I'm like, i didn't say whether or not this was one of the costumes, but like that's a thing that's a thing where Dave Filoni sees a guy who's got that many costumes and is like, I'll hire that guy. he He looked at what costumes they were. He's like, there's two at least two deep cuts in there.
00:40:04
Speaker
He's like, one This guy's already, ah i know this guy's a good actor. Two, look at them costumes. Screen accurate. Yeah. That's the part of the 501st? Vader's fist?
00:40:15
Speaker
vader's fists My God. But like there're they're basically pulling over Mando. And they're like, hey, you know you don't have a you don't have a transponder going.
00:40:27
Speaker
He's like, oh, yeah, my ship's pre-Empire surplus. I don't need a transponder. they're like, yeah, them's the old rules, dude. This is the new Republic. You're talking old Republic.
00:40:39
Speaker
But I love he's like, OK, I'll get that fixed. Sorry. You know, it's like, oh, your headlights out. I didn't know. I'll get it fixed as soon as possible. off One more thing, by the way. I'm going need you to send me them digits.
00:40:50
Speaker
Well, I do like right before that, though, he's like. ah He says to he's like, okay, I'll get it fixed, guys. May the force be with you. And we get the response that I have been doing my entire life as a beaten down, conditioned Catholic.
00:41:05
Speaker
May the force be with you. and And also with you. It's the first time I've ever heard it that I can think of other than from people I know. i think we've heard variations of it. this You're right.
00:41:16
Speaker
You're 100% right is the first way I've heard that. This is the exact call and response from every Sunday of my childhood until I was 16 years old, basically. Peace be with you and also with you. Yeah, my my older sister, who's I think she's still a good Catholic girl, but she she's told before, shes like, when you watch Star Wars, don't you also hear that? I'm like, oh, yeah, we all do.
00:41:38
Speaker
We can't not like it's not it's not our choice anymore. But I think we've heard variations of it. this is the first time that somebody involved is a recovering Catholic. Yeah. I mean, like Favreau, Favreau is probably Catholic.
00:41:52
Speaker
You think so with that hat? I mean, no, no not Filoni, Favreau. Oh, Favreau. Because he wrote this one. I mean, he's Italian, right? yeah but I'd think so.
00:42:02
Speaker
So aren't they all Catholic? I would think so. Since that's where the, you know, the Vatican is. It's like saying all Irish are Catholics. No, no, some are Protestant. Yeah, some are Protestant. I know about the IRA and all the wars. and A good chunk.
00:42:17
Speaker
Yeah. ah the The Italians are Catholic by choice. Yeah, you think so? You think so? Maybe. don't know.
00:42:30
Speaker
Not when the fucking religious capital is in your hometown. Oh, you're not Catholic? That's fine. We'll just ship you to Greece. Yeah. Get him out of here. Send him to New York.
00:42:44
Speaker
But yeah, they're like, hey, send us a ping because we're looking for Imperial holdouts. Let me get them digits, like you said. Send me them digis. And he's like, oh, it's it's not working. I love how he doesn't. They can clearly see him through his windows. He just kind of looks at his console and goes, not working.
00:42:59
Speaker
I don't know, man. He doesn't even flip a switch this time. He's like, it's not working. And then you and then the it's it's Dave Filoni who's like, ah Carson, can you switch over to channel number two? And he's like, well, that's not good.
00:43:13
Speaker
And then they're fucking as foils pop up. Yeah. Both the foils come out and he's like, oh fuck I don't think this is going to go well. And I love because now the chase starts, right? And he's fucking doing what he can. But even Carson Tava is like, where does he think he's going?
00:43:28
Speaker
It is like my van trying to outrun a Corvette or a Lamborghini. Well, or like the the newer, like the, the charger cop cars that are running around.
00:43:38
Speaker
Just imagine my van trying to run from any cop car. Like where does he think he's going? I see that giant white van. But you might be able to get away from one of those 80s Crown Vicks. And like these are not those. Uh-uh.
00:43:51
Speaker
Uh-uh. I mean, these aren't the new Chargers. These are like the 90s Crown Vicks, which you still wouldn't be able to get away from. This is yeah this is like the early 2000s undercover Impalas they were using.
00:44:05
Speaker
But I do like like when he's because he does pretend the transponder. He's like oh, look here. I sent it now. And they're like, yeah, were you at were you at this prison ship? And he's like, um, dive into plan. i like yeah What's that?
00:44:23
Speaker
That's how they're bringing it all back together. Even the little one off episodes like this is going to follow him around because Carson keeps showing up. Yeah. and it's going to be beneficial at one point. I mean, it's beneficial in this episode, but it's beneficial here. But it's also kind of like we helped you now go fuck yourself. But let' yeah, please, let's get there because I have things to say about that. You fuckers.
00:44:45
Speaker
I do think like, yeah, he does not have the advantage here, but he's got some really slick flying. And like these are obviously good pilots flying the X-Wings. But like the whole... and They're in a better machine though.
00:44:58
Speaker
And he's still... But like whipping around and hiding inside the clouds. And then like they come around and he like just shuts off the engines and like free falls down to like... a Great move by the way. When he does that... So fucking cool. He climbs. That's when Carson Taylor's like, where does he think he's going?
00:45:13
Speaker
Fucking full kill and just free fall. He is doing the maneuvers that you need. Because no not a lot of pilots... I think it shows Mando's a phenomenal pilot.
00:45:25
Speaker
yeah We saw him last season go one-on-one with the guy that looked like it was, if if it wasn't the Z90 whatever headhunter, it was a fucking killer ship, a starfighter.
00:45:38
Speaker
The guy that tried to steal his line? Yes. Yes. I want to say it was a Z95 headhunter. If not, it's still fucking... I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold. That's my line.
00:45:49
Speaker
And fucking Mando just straight up mercs that dude. So it's showing he's a phenomenal pilot. Yeah. With what he's working with again. And I'm sure like we talked about in that episode, it was done in Top Gun also. But I think of Iron Man because he does the same thing at certain points. He'll just shut off and free fall and then just come back up.
00:46:09
Speaker
Yeah. He does the same free fall maneuver. Yeah. I'm sure i'm I'm sure Tom Cruise did it to somewhere. Don't at me. But um he does escape. he gets into this canyon and he like crash lands in this little alcove like it's a controlled crash landing.
00:46:28
Speaker
Sure. And they miss him, which is crazy because there's like this burnt path of snow behind him. Like somehow the snow has singe marks on it is how hot this ship was. Pretty weird thing to have.
00:46:39
Speaker
But unfortunately for him, he's also on top of like a hollowed out cavern. So it collapses and he falls down in. And when he goes to check out the ship, there's a big fucking hole in the side.
00:46:51
Speaker
Doesn't look good. Yeah, not great. And this is when we get ah Grogu missing and he's looking around for him. And that's when he finds him just munching on the eggs underneath this blanket. Fuck, where is that kid? Also, where's your egg basket?
00:47:06
Speaker
I love that he's like, how many of those did you eat? And he just goes. brett Just burps and response. Smells like five. Smells like five eggs. On screen, we see three, I think. Five egg burp. I can smell it.
00:47:20
Speaker
There was a ah piece of trivia that was like, when she's in the warm pool, you see that there's 26 eggs. But I'm like, I would have to go back to the beginning and see how many were in that tube at the beginning.
00:47:32
Speaker
I think it fluctuates and not in a good um oh what's like ah continuity kind of way. I don't think anyone ever thought about how many were actually in there.
00:47:44
Speaker
I think they created a prop that had some floating. I think they created a hot tub that had some floating because it fluctuates up and down. Even as he's eating, what did you say, like three that we see.
00:47:55
Speaker
That's what I counted. It doesn't fluctuate by that even. Yeah, so it's kind of hard to say, although at the end it looks like there's about five. Yeah. She's like, fucking thank God.
00:48:08
Speaker
ah Jesus Christ, you starving bastard. There's a cute little moment because he's like, look, we're going to have to sleep here overnight. Like, let's bundle up because it's going to get fucking cold.
00:48:20
Speaker
And he goes, he lays down and the child comes up and like gives him a little snuggle. And that's adorable. And I hate myself for thinking it's cute. It's one of those things like as a,
00:48:32
Speaker
As a bitter adult bartending man, I'm like, I should not say anything is adorable, but this is fucking adorable. It is. Yeah. It's hugged on ah like the the remaining heart strings left that you have. Heart string. It's on your last nerve. Yeah.
00:48:51
Speaker
um And he wakes up to the frog lady using the zero head to communicate with him. Because, of course, he wakes up. because It's all Mando. There's no time to sleep. Amanda's like, ah gun pulled.
00:49:03
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Because he hears Richard. Richard. I want his voice like, hello, Mando. Part. like Excuse me. I believe I killed you. What are you doing? Speaking. And he's like, what the fuck are you doing? That thing is a killer. And she's like, chill the fuck out.
00:49:16
Speaker
Look, I know more than you. Yeah. We can't stay here overnight. This isn't going to work. So he's like, fine. Because she gives him the whole story about like, my husband set up this life on the planet. That's the only planet that's hospitable to our species, which based on what I know about Star Wars and how planets go, not great for your species.
00:49:35
Speaker
No. I've seen a planet we more than one planet completely destroyed. We know which planet it is, by the way. ah They say it later...
00:49:47
Speaker
Trask it's the home of the mom mom Calamari. Oh is it? Oh, maybe he's not a home of theirs. Maybe it's a colony. There's a bunch of mom Calamari on it.
00:49:58
Speaker
I know they say Trask at some point. Yeah, because I want to say that's the name of a villain from a Marvel comic. Maybe X-Men. That sounds right. Trask Trask X-Men is Trask. Yeah, Trask is the Oliver Trask. Yeah, he's the ceo guy. Yep. Yeah.
00:50:12
Speaker
yeah He comes back as a fucking anyway. that's So that's a different podcast. We there. But like, so he's like, because she does guilt trip him. He's like, dude, that mission is over.
00:50:25
Speaker
Like, we're lucky if we survive tonight. And she's like, oh, that's cool. I thought honoring deals was a Mando thing. But I guess I guess those are children's children's stories. I guess I go fuck myself. That's great. i thought, yeah, I'll just go fuck myself. Me and my bloodline will go fuck ourselves.
00:50:39
Speaker
Sorry. I thought you guys were honorable. So he's like, fuck off. So he goes out to make the repairs. And I do... i love the fucking Grogu puppet. Like, it's just like the...
00:50:50
Speaker
The same things, because I mentioned previously that my brother didn't like the show because he doesn't like the the kind of cheesiness of the way it moves because it's a puppet. Those are the things that I find endearing because like ah agree he's he's out there welding the ship and doing whatever he's doing.
00:51:05
Speaker
And Grogu comes out and is just looking at him. He's like, what? And he just kind of like points at the ship. And he's like, just i don't know what you want. Go inside. And he points again. And then he's like, meh.
00:51:16
Speaker
And starts walking around the ship. And Mando's like, fuck. All right, I'll go. But it's just this little tiny hands like over there. ah mean You're holding the flashlight all wrong, you little shit.
00:51:29
Speaker
Oh, man, the way you did that voice. Now I'm just like, why is Nick Cage not done Star Wars yet? We're we're going to be OK. You know what? They they missed the perfect window.
00:51:40
Speaker
That's why you recognizable to have the face in. It can't work as a face. Well, they got their droid or an alien. Perfect window because they like to underpay people if they would have been making stuff in the mid twenty ten s If there was a Star Wars show in 2010, like streaming, yeah he's in it. He's in it. like ah You got a Star Wars movie in 2014, you got an Nick Cage.
00:52:02
Speaker
But post-Mandy, he got back into demand, even though it's a lot of underground demand.
00:52:10
Speaker
And he still does a lot of dumb movies. I mean, that there's one that came out this year called The Gunslinger that was not a good movie, but he's excellent in it. That's a theme for the ones that you've told me about. like that Any of the Nick Cage movies that I have not seen, you're like, oh, it's terrible. He's enjoyable.
00:52:27
Speaker
Well, mean, there's plenty where he's half asleep, but that's like your 20, want to say like, 12, 2012, 2013 to 2017 range. He's sleepy.
00:52:39
Speaker
He's sleepy. Cause he's just like, I got to pay off them tax bills. Yeah. But like post Mandy, when people started paying attention to him again. Yeah. So we missed our chance for, yeah, we missed our chance for a Nick cage bounty hunter.
00:52:54
Speaker
No, we didn't. and We need one of his kids to be a huge star Wars fan or grandkids and he'll do it at cost.
00:53:02
Speaker
That's it. That's how it always happens. What do you think? What's his name? ah Daniel Craig did it because he wanted to. He didn't get paid for that.
00:53:13
Speaker
But the the Grogu was trying to get his attention because the frog has left. Walked away. So he follows her. There's these warm pools of water where she's trying to warm up. She's got the eggs in there.
00:53:26
Speaker
Just fucking wait. Hold on. thist ah Are you sous videing your eggs? Lady, stop cooking your eggs slowly. Well, and I understand, like, she's like, oh, it's too cold. It's going to damage the eggs, whatever.
00:53:38
Speaker
But when he walks in and she's naked in the pool of water, because she obviously she took her robes off because if they're cold, if they're wet and she gets out, and she'll die. Yeah, but it's just funny because he walks in. It's kind of like, oh, sorry, ma'am.
00:53:52
Speaker
Like, sorry, I didn't know you had all your nipples out. All 10 of them. Because they even do a thing when like he helps her gather up the eggs. And like when she goes to get out of the pool, because they she tongues her clothes.
00:54:03
Speaker
Yeah, she like whips the clothes over with her tongue and then just appears on screen with her clothes on. So it's weird. There's a lot of nipples. cause There's a lot of nipples going on in there. It's a weird thing to focus on.
00:54:16
Speaker
But like this is what I took note of the music because he's helping her gather up the eggs and Grogu tries to eat one. He's like, oh, fuck off. Stop eating. There's MREs in the Razorcrest. Stop. You were literally eating a bento box in the last scene. But like there's all these weird ah formations around the cave.
00:54:36
Speaker
And they turns out they're these little eggs and he's facehugger pods. Yeah. He starts peeling it open and eating this little spider baby out of it. But the music that's playing at this point is like it's Amblin, like which is Steven Spielberg's.
00:54:51
Speaker
um Movie company. So it's like E.T. Goonies, that kind of stuff. It's that Amblin style, like wondrous discovery music. Like he's going through and finding these little pods and peeling them open. it's like, datata da dada da it's like this little happy, playful music.
00:55:08
Speaker
And then suddenly all the other eggs start shaking and you just have. Like it the camera pulls out and it's like, no, it's not the 20 eggs that you saw.
00:55:19
Speaker
There are hundreds to maybe thousands. There's 20,000 eggs that you saw. Yeah. And they all hatch. And as soon as all these little spiders come out, Amanda was like, we should get the fuck out of here.
00:55:30
Speaker
And then out of the hallway, some slightly bigger spiders start coming. like, we really got to go. And then right behind it is Mama Spider. Just like, boom, faster, go faster. must go faster. Much, much faster.
00:55:43
Speaker
And apparently these ah are an unused concept design from Ralph McQuarrie. Yeah, I have the picture. This is his concept design. So, I mean, it's straight up.
00:55:55
Speaker
And it explains same explains why the pods are shaped, the the eggs are shaped the way they are and stuff, because it's like it's pooping them out of its little gross mouth. It's a cloaca. except ah Instead of a butt giant, it's mouth butt.
00:56:09
Speaker
They were called knobby white spiders. And basically it's a large, like it's a land speeder sized erected like organism that are native to the swamps of Dagobah.
00:56:20
Speaker
Oh, and there was some stuff that I read here that was like, These things are crazy. So we don't see much living stuff on Dagobah. There's some stuff flying around or whatever. Yeah. yeah um But apparently they are...
00:56:34
Speaker
They're actually in the in the original designs, the original thing, not these, obviously. They were supposed to be part of Gnarl Tree's life cycle. And they're basically composed of calcified wood and would break free of the parent tree, roam the swamps, devouring animals.
00:56:52
Speaker
And after they gathered enough nutrients, they would find a clear spot, anchor their legs, and eventually transform into roots and grow into a tree. Ralph McQuarrie took some drugs, y'all.
00:57:04
Speaker
Dude, Ralph McQuarrie was on some good acid. Ralph McQuarrie is a fucking real one. That's an amazing story we never got. Wild. I like it.
00:57:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's some shit. And like the fact that... like I mean, someone wrote about it, so I don't know if it's like you know there's a book of Ralph McQuarrie concept art that has the stories or if that was included in a book.
00:57:29
Speaker
like It was something I found online, and I was like, this is bonkers. This is some scary-ass Star Wars shit. It's one of the few stories that's stuck with people because they're like... This motherfucker told me a lot of things, but this one time he told me about a tree that made a spider. The spider ate and made another tree.
00:57:46
Speaker
I've never forgotten it. It's the the most terrifying version of the Ents from Lord of the Rings. yeah What happened to the Entwives? Well, I could tell you, you're not going to want to know. They turn into spider creatures, eat people, and then turn into another tree. What? Oh, my God. One of the Entwives is Shibala.
00:58:06
Speaker
The spider chick in the ah Lord of the Rings. OK, I was like, I don't know what a Shibala is. I got into, though. I'm pretty proud of myself for that, even though a very, very prominent.
00:58:18
Speaker
Everything walked to that movie, even the trees walked.
00:58:23
Speaker
Most of your Lord of Rings knowledge comes from clerks. No, no, no. I've definitely watched all of those movies multiple times. know, I know. I believe you own the extended editions. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Of the fucking nine and a half hours I spent. Oh, that's.
00:58:38
Speaker
underestimating 12 and a half hours. I spent watching those three movies. Oh, you're, I think you're still underestimating. It's, uh, what'd you say? 12, 12 and a half hours, three hours, like four hours a piece. You know what? You know, you're probably not wrong there. Okay. Okay.
00:58:53
Speaker
Yeah, the unfortunate thing was the last time we watched them, Whitney and I watched watched all three of the the Hobbit movies and then all three of the Lord of the Rings movies, and then like a month later got COVID.
00:59:04
Speaker
And I was like, well you know what we could have been doing right now? Yep, watching Kevin Costner movies.
00:59:11
Speaker
No, we instead spent our 15 days of lockdown watching every Keanu Reeves movie. Every? Well, most of them. Every? Most of them.
00:59:23
Speaker
Basically, they're trying to escape the eggs. This is when the movie the music turns to straight up like this is some good horror movie music. This is some like I'm being pursued by the guy with a chainsaw in the dark music.
00:59:33
Speaker
It's why homeboy did fucking sinners, man. He understands it. He gets it. Yeah. And ah Mando uses some detonators to stop the mama spider. And she looks like she's dead. I think she's dead because I think this one later is bigger.
00:59:48
Speaker
Oh, I think it's her again. oh I thought this one was bigger. I thought the next one was like Daddy Spider. I'm fine with being proven wrong. I thought it was the same one. It could be. it's It's hard to tell because when when it's pursuing them through these tunnels, it has to keep stopping because the tunnels are too small, so you don't really get a full scope.
01:00:07
Speaker
Yeah. But when it's on top of the ship, you do... and It looked like a bigger one, but it could be the same one. and It doesn't really matter because it's he takes this one down right now, but that doesn't stop the other 10,000 small ones falling. If you're listening, chime in.
01:00:21
Speaker
ah They get into the ship. The spiders swarm the ship. He's trying to close the cockpit, and they're they're just pushing the doors open. He can't get them out. ah Some of them crawl in and start crawling on Grogu, and the the frog lady saves him.
01:00:33
Speaker
She has the same gun that Cheki Kario uses and Bad Boys, except for it's a blaster. He has that four-barrel Derringer. She has a four-barrel blaster.
01:00:45
Speaker
I'm sorry, man. I'm a gun guy. It's a blaster. I was happy. It's so funny because there was something in in the IMDb trivia or maybe it was Wikipedia. I don't remember about the gun and like somebody identified the gun and gave it a name and everything.
01:00:58
Speaker
But then it they took time to know. They named the gun and told us what it was called, but they did not name the species or the character. yeah She's using a P 11 24. She's frog person from I don't know where. Yeah.
01:01:17
Speaker
it was in the Star Wars, the 2021 reference book, Star Wars, The Mandalorian Handbook by Matt Jones. The Frog Lady wields a Shard 3A holdout cluster blaster.
01:01:28
Speaker
However, it does not reveal her actual name or species. Frog Lady. It's like if Frog Lady had a... Shard cluster blaster. To be specific, she's a Frog Lady.
01:01:43
Speaker
But he ends up using the flamethrower to burn these out and close the hatch. And that's when the bigger the big spider shows up drops on top of the ship. And it's doing the fucking Minoc shit across the windows. Look at those rows of teeth. Yeah. I was like, except for those are much different than the Minoc teeth.
01:02:01
Speaker
Yeah. You're fucked. And then they are saved by laser fire laser fire from the side. It's the X-Wing pilots. Who could it be now?
01:02:14
Speaker
And i I got this picture because I was like, I know a lot of times they take real world guns and just add shit to them. Yeah. So I was like, I want to pull this in because Jack might be able to tell me what gun this is. mean, it looks looks like maybe an M16 or whatever it is that the uses. I don't recognize the base model actually, but it kind of looks like a little bit of the E11 I have in the back, but it's not an E11 though.
01:02:38
Speaker
Yeah, I don't recognize it I remember, do you remember when the trailer for Andor season one came out and everyone was like, that's clearly an AK-47. Yeah. Yeah. yeah Okay.
01:02:49
Speaker
Every single one of the guns from the original trilogy was World War I weapons that you just didn't grow up with. Yeah, they're all very recognizable to the people that grew up with them. Yeah, exactly.
01:02:59
Speaker
Like, let's just take this real world gun and glue some goofy shit on the outside. that's what it It had it was a stipulation, by the way, that it couldn't be permanently modified. All the weapons that he had were on loan so that you could. I think I remember talking about that. Yeah, you could add to it, but you couldn't like drill and screw things in. It was like, I'm just glue a shroud to the outside.
01:03:22
Speaker
But they these guys save them, they they kill all the spiders. We do. ah Basically, it's ah ah Carson who's like, so we ran your tags. um There's an arrest warrant for abduction of prisoner X 11, whatever as the Twi'lek from that episode.
01:03:41
Speaker
Yeah. like how However, um the records also indicate that you imprisoned three wanted criminals and that you tried to protect Lieutenant Davin from being killed.
01:03:53
Speaker
And he's like, so am I arrested? and it's like, well, you should be. But these are trying times. And Amanda, I have a theory. I have a a problem. What if I don't get a bounty and you fuck off or you help me? No, sorry. You help me fix my hole.
01:04:06
Speaker
that That's the thing. He goes, okay. um He pushes his luck and he's like, all right, I'll forego the bounties on those guys. And you see Carson just kind of like, we weren't giving you bounties on those guys. You're, oh, you're forgoing a bounty.
01:04:19
Speaker
Cute. He's like, you help me you fix my ship and get out of here. And he's like, how about you fix your transponder and we don't kill you the next time we see you? And then they just zip out of there. If we see you again, because you're still on an ice planet with an open fucking hole.
01:04:38
Speaker
ah Exactly. And they just leave. And it's just, it's Mando standing there like, what the fuck is happening here? um There's quite a giant spider on my ship, and that's not the biggest problem I have.
01:04:50
Speaker
mean... i mean Physically speaking, it is the biggest problem. But metaphorically speaking, I think the whole ship. Yeah, the whole in my whole.
01:05:02
Speaker
So he's basically like, I'm only going to be able to pressurize the cockpit guys. So if you to take a shit, take a shit now.
Cockpit Conversations and Jokes
01:05:09
Speaker
Because we are, we're about to get real comfy cozy in this cockpit. He doesn't say the refresher this time. He says, he uses military. He says, if you've got to use the privy, use it now.
01:05:20
Speaker
Weird. It's a, maybe he's like, she understands some things I'm saying. Yeah. But so he goes out, fix everything. He's like, we're going to limp to Trask. And I love when they finally get up into space and he turns to the frog lady because she can understand him, but can't understand her. And he goes, ah wake me up if someone starts shooting at us or if this door gets sucked off its rails.
01:05:41
Speaker
And she's just like, what? Just kidding. We'd all be dead if that happened. I'm i'm such a joshier. It's so funny because she's got this gape look on her face like, what? And he's like, just kidding.
01:05:54
Speaker
We would all be dead. I'll be honest. You wouldn't be alive to warn me. it's well you don't what with The reason you're not laughing is what you don't get. You'd be dead. And I love that Grogu sitting in his lap and he looks over at the frog lady and he's like, okay, I'm not going to eat more of her eggs because she saved me.
01:06:12
Speaker
But he turns around and pulls the one that he has in his pocket out and he's just like,
01:06:18
Speaker
um, as somebody that has pulled out a chicken tender of his fucking pockets before at a concert, I respect this move. Pocket attendees are so good.
01:06:30
Speaker
Pocket caviar in this case. ah That's less exciting.
01:06:38
Speaker
I can't speak to that. I've never had caviar. I'm not that kind of wealthy. Well, i can tell you right now- I'm actually no kind of wealthy. If you've ever have had it, the pocket is one of the lower forms of transportation.
01:06:50
Speaker
and so like Don't worry. I have this little spoon carved from bone to eat my caviar, but I do keep it in my cargo pocket. Is it still in your cargo shorts? Is it still- Disgusting. I'll have two.
01:07:03
Speaker
So that's it for
Speculation on 'The Heiress'

01:07:31
Speaker
Taktur Jatrevan, The Heiress, which I'm ah going to assume is where we meet Bo-Katan Kreese. I'm going to tell you it is. I don't remember the names of the episodes.
01:07:43

No, I don't either, but she's The Heiress. The Heiress sounds like, yeah. Yeah. So we'll be back next week to talk about that.

01:10:03

Your mama likes them tits and your daddy likes them dicks. How ever could you be born? i was like, well, that's the lyrics. Like there's no, no need to improve on that. You could be on a Mel Gibson's record label.
