Just as the prophecy foretold Malcom and Zach return with our first Mandalorian special! Will it help balance the Force? No. Will it help clear up some of the logical inconsistencies in the Star Wars Universe? Definitely not. Will it let you know what they think about The Mandalorian? Yes. Do they hate Baby Yoda-- I mean The Child? Yes because our hearts are colder than Hoth (I know the planet in chapter 9 isn't Hoth so cool it bro.) Some of our takes and opinions are hotter than Timothy Olyphant, if that's possible. Spoilers abound.

CONTENT WARNING A number of measures were taken to avoid exposing the child actors to the sexual and abusive aspects of the story. Although their parents were given the entire shooting script to review, the boys were given separate scripts which included only the activities they would be performing, and their roles and the characters' relationships were explained to them in innocent terms. All of the sexual abuse involving children is implied rather than being directly depicted, and the scenes in which this seduction and abuse takes place were filmed with each actor performing alone and addressing the camera rather than the other actor, then edited together, so the children did not see or hear the performance by the adult actor playing the abuser. (This subjective approach to filming was consequently used in various places throughout the film.
  • BASED on novel- by Scott Hiem
  • A teenage hustler and a young man obsessed with alien abductions cross paths, together discovering a horrible, liberating truth.
  • Mysterious Skin tells the story of two pre-adolescent boys who both experienced a strange event as children, and how it affects their lives in different ways into their young adulthood. One boy becomes a reckless, sexually adventurous male prostitute, while the other retreats into a reclusive fantasy of alien abduction.
