Low Blows

It's time for Ger & Kev, having covered The Last Of Us right from the start, to step back and reflect on all things season 2 as it came to an end this week.

On the agenda they pay tribute to Jesse, talk about scenes that really worked in the finale and some writing that really didn't, speculate and give (non-spoiler) hints on what may be to come in season 3 and how it's a massive risk, plus Easter Eggs from the episode from the video game.

It's time for us to get emotional as TLOU this week hit us with an emotion-packed penultimate episode of season 2, with Kev joining Ger to discuss it all!

They laud praise on the incredible performances from Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey along with some incredible guest stars (we finally got Joey Pants!!!), ask if this excellent episode made up for a structurally weird season, debated if Joel was wrong for what he did to Eugene and more!

It's time, for the last time in 2025, for the STAR GERS to talk all things Star Wars and, specifically, the epic final three episodes of Andor!

After Gerry's final recap, they chat through how this show should be discussed in terms of great TV shows, Luthen and Renault Clio's final adventure, the downfall of the empire, the infighting within the Rebellion and if we got enough Cassian and K-2SO?

They also have broader Star Wars chats like how we may never see an opening crawl again, power ranking iconic villains and what order to recommend watching Star Wars to a new fan.

We're somehow already almost at the end of this incredible content crunch with only two more episodes in The Last Of Us and Andor's series finale. But we will chat shit about it all right until the end! Kev Keane returns to talk all things TLOU as he discusses Season 2, Episode 5 'Feel Her Love' with Ger.

Andor is on our minds as we wonder if the show, despite being really entertaining, isn't clicking just because it's languishing in Andor's big fat shadow or is there something wrong? They also discuss Ellie seeing red, Dina's unexpected prominent role, the introduction of spores and some Easter Eggs and structural changes from the video games and how that affects the show.

Somehow we have just one batch of episodes of Andor left, but the STAR GERS return to discuss an incredible run that has them disagreeing on if this plus Rogue One is the best Star Wars has ever been?

They break down the Ghorman Massacre, Dedra and Syril's tragic ending, Cassian going from MVP to ghosted and Mon Mothma finally getting her moment.

Plus predictions for the finale and Ger gives a non-spoiler review of Tales of the Underworld.

The content gods keep on giving! Ger and Kev are back to tackle Marvel's latest release in Thunderbolts* as well as the season 2, episode 4 of The Last Of Us 'Day One'. Use the timestamps in the show notes if you want to listen to any specific section!

First they talk Thunderbolts and ask if it is, indeed, a 'return to form' for Marvel or are we all just happy they gave us a coherent movie? Plus did Valentina work after years of teasing her as a villain, is Florence Pugh too big for the MCU now, Bucky as a Congressman, the subtleties of Sentry and the post-credit scene.

Then in The Last Of Us they show some love for Jeffrey Wright, compare where TLOU works as a zombie show in ways other established properties don't and, in the video game section, Ger has some notes and concerns about aspects from THAT a-ha scene that the show missed from the game.
