The Mandalorian Chapter 19: The Convert

Explicit content warning

03/20/23 • 68 min

On this week's episode of the podcast, we talk about the latest installment of The Mandalorian. Does The Convert continue the momentum from last week's excellent The Mines of Mandalore, or does it come to an abrupt halt with an unrelated side story? We discuss the choice to center much of the episode's action around minor characters Dr. Pershing and Elia Kane, and debate whether it was the right storytelling choice at this point in the season. Elsewhere, we speculate about Bo Katan's intention behind hiding her knowledge of the Mythosaur, and whether her motives are self-serving. Also on the episode: we run through our predictions for where the season might go from here. All of this and so much more on The Breaking Canon Podcast!

The Mandalorian Chapter 20: The Foundling

We're breaking down The Foundling on the podcast this week, the latest episode of The Mandalorian. As we reach the midway point of season three, we're starting to get worried about this season's lack of urgency and direction. We go in depth on the rescue mission at the center of the episode, and debate the logic motivating it, and question its necessity at this point in the season. Elsewhere, we praise Grogu's thrilling Order 66 flashback, and celebrate the return of franchise icon Ahmed Best. Is the fan service strong enough to save an otherwise lackluster episode of Star Wars TV? Or does this episode fall into the lower tier of the series? Find out on The Breaking Canon Podcast!
