Hyperfixation: A Queer Fandom Podcast

The gang chats about the very good "The Spies." Moff Gideon returns! Bo-katan reveals her backstory! Grogu gets a mech suit! Cork is saddened by the death. Could we see Pedro's face next week? Should the whole season have taken place on Mandalore? 



Briikasak is a Mando'a word meaning a social gathering among comrades during difficult times. In Briikasak: A Mandalorian Podcast, three queer comrades with varying degrees of Star Wars knowledge socially gather to discuss The Mandalorian, Mandalorian lore, and Star Wars in general. 

The gang chats about the well-directed, poorly written "Guns for Hire." Are we supposed to be a broad comedy episode but the writing was too bad? Why are Din and Bo-Katan detectives now? Bo gets the Dark Saber but why now? But hey, Lizzo got to meet Grogu so that's nice.

The Covert comes to Nevarro's aide to save it from those pirates Din and Greef pissed off in the first episode of the season. We spend a lot of time with that one New Republic traffic officer, but also get to see Elia again and get some hints to Moff Gideon's whereabouts. Bo-katan is given a quest by the Armorer and is possibly taking Din's leading character role.

The Briikasak gang chats about the Carl Weathers directed "The Foundling." Why did the covert pick such a dangerous base? Has Ahmed Best's Star Wars reputation been saved? Does Cork have a new favorite episode? Is the Armorer flirting with Bo-Katan?

The Last of Us show ended, following the exact ending of the game, which Cork loved and Marika has confusing feelings about.  Ellie's agency is taken away in multiple ways. The Fireflies reveal their turn intentions.

Bo-katan accidentally becomes a Child of the Watch. Dr. Pershing and Hot Officer, I mean Elia Kane, return and meet for the first time.  The New Republic's rehabilitation program has some red flags. Join the Briikasak gang as we discussion The Convert and try to figure out who it refers to.

Cork could not contain his thoughts so the Briikasak gang talked about Ellie and Joel's encounter with cannibal, pedophiliac cultists in Wyoming. Yay... Bella Ramsey better get that Emmy and none of us know what venison meat looks like. SPOLIER ALERT for this episode, all The Last of Us video game content, and season one of Yellowjackets.

The Briikasak gang travels with Din and Grogu to the mines of Mandalore, with its many Lord of the Rings references and possible problematic inhabitants. Bo-katan has some humanizing moments, Grogu is actually an attentive toddler, and Cork is pissed about that mythosaur.

Pedro is fully committed to being a dad and it got even gayer, so the Briikasak gang chatted again about The Last of Us. This episode includes Melanie Lynskey being terrifying, how much seeing the Jackson settlement is setting up the next season/game, and how adorable and heart wrenching the baby gays are.  SPOLIER ALERT for these episodes and all the video game content.

The Mandalorian is finally back! Din and Grogu (somehow, he returned!) start Din's quest to rejoin the Armorer and her cult. There was a lot of setup and not a lot of actual stuff, but it was fun. The gang speculates how and if the timeline makes any sense anymore, talks about how much better Bo-Katan's wig is, and if anyone is following The Creed correctly.
