WhoDatJedi Podcast

It's time for the 242nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- in the wake of the new "The Mandalorian and Grogu" trailer do a rewatch of "The Mandalorian" Chapter 9: "The Marshall."  Perhaps no episode better paints a picture of how a Mandalorian movie might work well, as this chapter tells a compelling, contained story with good character moments and boasts a big cinematic viewpoint. But don't just take our word for it. Pop up some popcorn and watch Mando Chapter 9 with us!

For the 240th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- tap into the Dark Side and use their anger to talk about their least favorite examples of nostalgia bait in pop culture. Star Wars gets a lot of flack for this in general, but what are some of the actual biggest offenders of this? What sequels/remakes/reboots just plain weren't worth the effort? And what is some nostalgia bait that is horrendously guilty of being nostalgia bait ... but might still be worthwhile?

On this, the 238th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- revisit Disney's "Obi-Wan Kenobi" miniseries, finding that by and large they all still like the show. The crew addresses a point-by-point critique of the series, taking a closer look at some of the show's suggested warts, and find that ... maybe some of the complaints are a little overblown.

It's the 237th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- somehow get into a discussion of Chicago cuisine, revisit the Finn done dirty discussion, and get caught up on some other news before hitting their main topic, the classic Star Wars video game "Knights of the Old Republic." KOTOR is widely considered the best game to bear the Star Wars license. So let's talk about why that is ... and why the game, in some ways, may not have aged all that gracefully.

On the 236th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- cover a wealth of Star Wars news, including the very worthwhile awards nominations for "Andor." After that, Dave reviews the Claudia Gray novel "Lost Stars," and then the group dives into a discussion of Obi-Wan Kenobi. What is it about the character that appeals? What portrayals have stuck with us the most? And why do all the bad guys seem to hate him so much? Let's talk about the "Negotiator."

Welcome to the 235th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! On this week's show, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- dive back into comic book land with a wide-ranging discussion of "Ironheart." Before that, the group gets into a little uniform talk, Fredo offers a (non-spoiler) first impression of "Superman," and some Ahsoka nuggets are addressed. On "Ironheart," they discuss the topic of grief and how Marvel seems to be going big into that, how to discuss flaws without letting the trolls win, and what to do with that ending.

This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- take a spin with a classic they've been hearing a lot of lately since "Andor" concluded: "It's the best Star Wars since Empire!" Alrighty, so let's talk about what makes "Andor" good, what makes "Star Wars" in general good, and even why it's alright to like other "Star Wars" too.
