The Weekly Stuff #434 – Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale & Series Review


Listen Later

Obi-Wan Kenobi, the 6-episode Star Wars miniseries on Disney+, finished up its run this week with an emotionally charged and visually stunning episode that proved this to be just as much a series about Darth Vader as it was about Obi-Wan, and all the better for it. We really enjoyed these 6 episodes, even with a few wonky bits of plotting or visuals along the way, and found ourselves deeply invested in the story it told about Obi-Wan, Vader, Leia, and all the other characters introduced along the way. It’s certainly a show that rewards the kind of discussions we do here, but that’s not all for this week! Sean also talks about revisiting the original Resident Evil as he begins working his way through the remakes, Jonathan reviews the Sonic Origins collection, and we laugh about Sony’s quixotic quest to make increasingly terrible movies about ever-more obscure Spider-Man villains with news on Kraven the Hunter (and a lot of jokes about Morbius). 

It’s Morbin’ Time!
