Episode 23: Here Goes Nothing
This week we review the season 3 finales of two of our favorite shows: THE MANDALORIAN and PICARD. What made them great, and what could have been better? What's coming next for both franchises? What distinguishes intelligent "fan service" from gratuitous drivel? In other words, what could JJ Abrams learn from Terry Matalas?
ALSO: our lyrics for THE MANDALORIAN theme, a quick wrap-up of HELLO TOMORROW!, some great show recommendations from Brendan, and Chad's recent visit to The Daily News Building in New York City, which served as the Daily Planet when our much beloved SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE was filmed there in 1977.
