Welcome back, Shadow Lords! In this episode, Julia and Bex are back with our trusty character, theme and plot analysis. And, of course, don't forget the goofs.

Talking points include: why these episodes feel like progress, the character cascade and what we want to see from Maul, Mrs Brander Lawson and her hot Imperial wife, Maul's pandemic internet archetype, unnecessary additions in these eps, the hottest man is old and in distress, rapid fire show name brainstorm sesh, an unappreciated Roller Coaster Tycoon reference, book club!, and how Gertie! Spy Kids became the Inquisitor.

Don't forget to leave us a review if you like the show and drop by our socials on Instagram, Bluesky & Tumblr (@thebatchpod) to say hi, chat, and enjoy Bex's beautiful memes.
