We close out the first year of this podcast by finishing our review of The Boy and the Heron along with a look at our podcast-relevant Christmas gifts and a look back at all of those we lost in 2023.

Allison joins us for a discussion of the fantastic and dream-like “The Boy and the Heron” and some more so-so episodes of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters that is moving mountains to try to keep us hooked.

We’re walkin’ in a winter monster land as we review the beautiful sight of Godzilla Minus One, dream by the fire of Godzilla x Kong trailer, and face unafraid Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Ep 3 and 4.

The pod is now off the rails! We can talk about whatever we want as we REBRAND to “Rebels and Robots and Etc.” To initiate the “Etc,” we’re talking the first two episodes of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” from the Godzilla/Kong KaijuVerse with Cameron’s formally unnamed wife, Allison!

Good vibes only as we share our three favorite moments from Ahsoka plus what we will be covering in the future outside of Starformers content.

The tale of two Clone Wars: one is Genndy Tartakovsky's insane yet incredible 2D animation and the other is a Dave Filoni's made-for-TV yet theatrically released dead-eyed 3D disaster. Let's talk about them.

Will Ahsoka and her team band together to win the day? What is Thrawn’s plan? What is Sabine’s cat’s name? Some of these answers and also some other stuff this week with the season finale of Ahsoka.

Things keep moving this week on Ahsoka Part 7 “Dreams and Madness” with an overly long spaceship fight, an alien mobile home chase, and Ahsoka jumping out of a speeding ship (AKA typical Jedi business).

Thrawn (not a prawn) and Ezra make their live action premiere, and we have all sorts of dumb jokes in our coverage of Ahsoka Part Six “Far, Far Away.”
