The Pinoy boys are back - this time joined by first time guest, Doug Snyder, and returning friend of the pod, Jared Garalde, to chat about Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. The boys talk about their thoughts on the final MI installment, the wide reaching impact of this film franchise, and most importantly, Ethan Hunt’s battle to save the world from itself (and AI?). Tune in as we review this summer blockbuster and much, much more. Thanks for listening!

Buckle up for a long one folks because the Pinoy boys are back to bring you a THREE HOUR mega-pod about one of our favorite shows, Andor! Since releasing Season 1 in 2022 to massive critical and audience acclaim, Andor has shown us a new way forward with Star Wars and has done a brilliant job at re-contextualizing the Rebellion’s fight against the Galactic Empire. Season 2 just wrapped with the series finale and we hope you enjoy our breakdown of this continuing story of Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael, Dedra Meero, and many, many more from a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

Chris (no Harald today!) welcomes in pod vet, Jared Garalde, and pod newcomer, Jarred Mac, for a retrospective discussion on Damien Chazelle’s Babylon (2022).
