Disney Plus the Boys

Oi! It's Cruella baby! This week the boys watch the latest addition to Disney+'s premiere access catalogue, Cruella, which tells of the backstory of the classic villain from 101 Dalmatians. For this one, we record in person, in order to truly explore the depths and subtleties of the film. We discuss mania, fashion, music, and dogs. Blake likes Wink the dog, Wiese would prefer to see more absurdly long movie titles, and Hayden rebrands himself as "Hatin'."

"The strong survive, the noble overcome." It's time for another Bad Batch episode, and we're pretty excited for this one, especially after the cliffhanger from last episode. Did it live up to our expectations? Why don't you listen to find out? To prepare you for what we get into, Blake and Wiese explain to you why there's an absence of Hayden in this episode, and we talk a little about this episode, but we also discuss the series as a whole, what the show is struggling with, and what could be done better. Blake discusses the pivotal moment in this episode that is related to his Omega theory, and Wiese may have killed Hayden.

"A secret shared is a trust formed." In this week's episode, its just Blake and Hayden again, and they're discussing the newest episode of the Bad Batch, "Reunion," and this one's quite a goodie. When we get around to talking about the episode, we talk about what made this episode better than some of the previous episodes, we talk (again) about the issue of crossovers in this series and what makes good cameos/crossovers, and talk about what the last half of the series may look like. Blake continues to rant about his issues with crossovers in this show, and Hayden begs for help (ḍ̸̢̧̠̭̖̱̜͈̬̖͓̦̹̣̓̄̇̈́͆͑̏͝͝ơ̴̢̢͈̓͐̃́̑̔̈́̒̇̕͘n̵̨̯̝̺̪͓̞̻̤̗̞̪̟̫̽̓'̷̡͓̩͔̲̠͍̘̠̜͎̗̈̿́̓̐̇͐̄̋͌̍̒͘͜ţ̶̛̼̮̖̠̠̠͖̎͑̈͒͌̿̏̌͛̕͝ ̵̢̙̖̳͚̂̀͜͠l̵̲̦̗̙̳͇̞̦̠̜̣̺̰̪̎̔̍̈́̉̆̈̐̐͒͌́̚͝i̵̢̛̦̭͉͚̞̰̳̞̪̩̙͊̉͆̀͗́̅̄̏̚s̶̨͉̭̫̱̻̱͇͚͍͓̭̪̟͒̌̎̕t̷̗̹̫͔̺̜̝̙̤͍͍͚̬̻͖̅ĕ̷̡̢̛͍̼̲͈̤̳͈͓͔͔͚̝̄̈̽̔͋̍̚͝͝n̷͍̥̯̤̠͉̳͊͋̈̿̅̈̽̀ ̸̡̰̹̰̮͇̱͉̭͖̉̽͆͜͜ͅt̷͈̣̬͔͊͋̒̇̔o̸͍̞͎̫̮͇͕͓̹̼̠̔̾͜ͅ ̶͓̖̘͚̞̳̮͎̦̹̪͈̬̊͜h̶̛̛̠̳̫͙̪̑͛̄̑͆̏̈́́̎̄i̸̢̬̝̖̹̖̱̳͖̲̇̀ͅm̵̱͈͙̻̤͇̅̃̍̈́͒)

“The truth about yourself is the hardest to accept.” In this episode, it's just Blake and Hayden again, and they're coming together once again to discuss the next episode of the Bad Batch, "Battle Scars." In our episode discussion, we talk about our thoughts on the reveal that was hinted at in the last episode, a returning planet certain gamers should be familiar with, and how we feel about how a certain character moment was executed. Blake has a syrup-related issue, and Hayden's found his favorite way that you listeners can share an episode.

“Greed and fear of loss are the roots that lead to the tree of evil.” Yeah, that's just a random quote that we chose. Doesn't have much to do with the episode, but if you've seen the episode, maybe you can twist it to make it a joke. Anyway, in this episode, its just Blake and Hayden, and they're tackling the sixth episode of the Bad Batch, "Decommissioned". Before we get into our discussion, we talk about why Wiese isn't present, and how there'll be an absence of Wiese and normal Disney + the Boys episodes in the next couple of weeks. But once we start discussing the episode, we talk about our thoughts on a couple returning characters, a big moment that sets up a future event in the show, and how we feel about so many characters from other Star Wars shows/movies appearing in the show so far. Blake expresses a bit of his concern about the future of the show, and Hayden questions if Blake is cat or man.

Blake mentions a video essay about the Mandalorian Season 2; here is the video essay from Films&Stuff he was speaking of.

“Where we are going always reflects where we came from.” In this episode, Wiese, Blake, and Hayden are discussing the fifth episode of The Bad Batch. In our discussion, Blake adds a new segment about "Why Omega is Force Sensitive." We also talk about the appearance of a rancor, the lethality of non-lethal weapons, other events of the episodes. Wiese likes the thought behind Echo's helmet, while Hayden and Blake argue over whether or not Omega is force sensitive.
