So we're going to try something a little different here: this year represents the 40th anniversary of the debut of one Henry Jones, Jr-Indiana Jones, as I'm sure he prefers (he has a lot of fond memories of that dog!)-and so every week leading up to the actual anniversary in July, we will be doing special episodes on the topic of Indy. To kick off, we look at the first memories we have of watching an Indy movie (not an Indie movie; that's a different podcast in itself!). Spoilers.

We wrap up Mando Watch with the final episode of Season 2, The Rescue. We give our thoughts on this season as a whole, as well as this episode...and THAT ending! Spoilers.

It's nearly over, folks! Join us for the penultimate episode of this season's Mando Watch, in which Bill Burr returns, the ladies kick ass, and...no Grogu? What is this sorcery? Spoilers.

Before we wrap up Mando Watch for this season, we pay tribute to the OG Boba Fett himself, Mr Jeremy Bulloch, who sadly passed away just as the final episode was streamed. There is no cooler bounty hunter than this guy, so strap into Slave I, don the armour, put Captain Solo in the cargo hold, and remember: no disintegrations! Goodbye Jeremy, you will be missed. Spoilers for various films.

Okay, so this isn't technically a traditional Franchise Wars episode, but hey, we all like change right? In today's instalment we take a look at and discuss the differences between the original 1992 Theatrical Cut and the 2003 Assembly Cut of ALIEN 3, included in the still-perfect Alien Quadrilogy boxset. We look at the film in general as well as give our opinions on which cut we prefer. Spoilers for various films. 

Mando watch continues! This week's episode cannot be put into words. That is all we will say. Is the suspense killing you all? Watch the episode and listen to our review and you'll understand why. Spoilers.

We revisit our old friend, the Under 10 Minutes show, and discuss our thoughts on Disney's live action adaptation of MULAN. The first casualty of COVID from Disney's live action catalogue, MULAN's distribution on Disney + has maybe set a precedent for the other studios to follow. In our show we simply compare this version with the original 1998 animated version. Spoilers for various films.

Okay this is a big one. Both seemingly the "worst" of their respective series: GHOSTBUSTERS II the worst of the original cast's contribution, and GHOSTBUSTERS (2016) the...well, worst in general. Are they truly as bad as people claim? Or are they due reappraisal? We shall see...Spoilers for various films.

This week's Mando Watch focuses on Chapter 13: The Jedi. The live action debut of one of the best STAR WARS characters in a long time as well as a great cameo by an amazing 80s actor make this episode another great one. Spoilers. 

Once again, we lose another great pop culture icon. This time another from the STAR WARS family. What is there that can be said that already hasn't been said about the great figure of Darth Vader? We discuss the life and work of David Prowse and why he ranks as so iconic in the pantheon of perfect movie villains, and characters in general. Spoilers for various films.
