The Bad Batch is sandwiched in between a LOT of official canon Star Wars content. It seems that sometimes this limits what can be done with the stories and the legacy characters in that timeline. We asked Lucas and Pete if they thing that Canon hurts #TheBadBatch? BONUS: Both Pete and Lucas are AMAZING players of "the bass." We discuss the coolest moment each have had playing bass.Check Out Streaming Star Wars: https://www.atgcast.com/Have Fun With The Reverend and the Reprobate: https://revandrep.com/

Does Canon Hurt The Bad Batch? (The Bad Batch is BACK!)

I ask them both who their favorite bass player is.Check Out Streaming Star Wars: https://www.atgcast.com/Have Fun With The Reverend and the Reprobate: https://revandrep.com/

Is Dooku Right? (The Bad Batch is BACK!)

In Episodes 1 & 2 of Season 2 of #thebadbatch here is a sharp disagreement between how the squad should move forward after the events of Kamino.

What's YOUR Rating of The Bad Batch Season 2 Premiere?

Today’s episode is a conversation about Season 1 of #TheBadBatch and a little responsible speculation about Season 2. Of course, by now, the first two episodes of Season 2 have been released. I’ll save my initial spoiler free thoughts on those until after the segment. Enjoy!

Where is The Bad Batch Going in Season 2?

Today’s episode is a little different. Sam is really excited about the new Netflix show Kaleidoscope starring Ginacarlo Esposito. He'll explain why!We’ve gotten the chance to watch a couple of episodes of Kaleidoscope since our recording a couple of days ago. So far, it’s really good. We started with the first episode listed in the season and then decided to change it up and pick another randomly. We we’re a little floored by how well they worked together. It was almost like the second episode we watched perfectly answered the questions we had from the first we watched. It was a little creepy. I’m sure we’ll watch another episode as soon as we can. Learn more about the show and see our complete library at www.tatooinesons.com!

Looking Back at 2022 & Looking Forward to 2023

This Week on Tatooine Sons: We debate whether amazing cheese bread served at a pizza restaurant with sauce on the side can be considered the world's greatest pizza (i.e. Is Andor the greatest live action Star Wars ever made)? PLUS: We breakdown the controversial ending to Gotham Knights and talk about the things we learned about Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 from the GOTG Holiday Special.THIS is Tatooine Sons!

Andor: Is the Rebellion Worth the Sacrifice?

Today’s episode is our conversation about that riveting address given by Kino Loy in Episode 10 of Andor, along with our patented “Dad Moment” from this week’s show.Before Andor hit our TV’s it was suggested by SOME that there weren’t any “easter eggs” in the series. Tony Gilroy hit back and explained that there were plenty, but that they were the kind you had to actually be paying attention to see them. There are so many in this series. But my favorite might be in this speech when Kino Loy repeats Cassian’s words verbatim in the same way Jyn Erso did in Rogue One.   Thanks for checking out this short segment from our full Tatooine Sons episode this week. If you missed any of the other segments on this week’s show, you can find those in our podcast feed and of course you can hear even more like our “Is It Canon?” and “Movie Moments” segments on the full episode that released earlier in the week.

Cassian Andor: "I Just Said That!"

Today’s episode is BB-N8’s tribute to Kevin Conroy. If you’re a regular listener, you already know what a massive Batman fan he is. So of course, he really wanted to share his thoughts on Conroy’s legacy and his portrayal of the Dark Knight in animation and video games.We’re trying something new for the next couple of weeks. We realize we discuss a lot of topics on each episode, and sometimes there are big time spoilers. That means if you haven’t watched a particular movie or episode yet, you may be forced to skip the episode until you have. But we don’t want you to miss out on the other conversations on our show because you’re worried about being spoiled in one segment. So, we’re going to release each of our main topics in smaller, individual episodes that last between 10 to 15 minutes each. Thanks for checking out this short segment from our full Tatooine Sons episode this week. The rest of the episode is a lot of fun as we talk about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and specifically Shuri’s faith journey, and Kino Loy’s powerful speech from Andor Episode 10: “One Way Out.” We’d love for you to check that out.

The Legacy of Kevin Conroy as Batman

Today’s episode is the discussion that Samuel the Hutt led about Shuri’s faith journey in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It’s a pretty classic Tatooine Sons take on the subject and one you probably won’t hear anywhere else.We start every full episode explaining that pop culture in the mythology of this generation that speaks to something written on our souls. Shuri’s story in Wakanda Forever is a perfect example of this. All of us have been touched by the death of someone we love. And it’s so hard to go through. And lots of times it causes us to question everything we believe in and even lose ourselves in the process. This film hits even harder because everyone involved was dealing with this in a real world way because of the loss of Chadwick Boseman.  Thanks for checking out this short segment from our full Tatooine Sons episode this week. I really do hope you check out the rest of the episode where we discuss Kino Loy’s powerful speech from Andor Episode 10: “One Way Out,” and the legacy of Kevin Conroy as Batman.
