MANDO AND GROGU SPOILER FREE REVIEW
from The NerdGen Report · host Pablo I Solano
Welcome back to another episode of the Nerd Gen Report! This week, Pablo and Brian dive into their spoiler-free review of the highly anticipated The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. Did it bring the magic of Star Wars back to the big screen, or is franchise fatigue finally setting in?In this video:The Fatigue is Real: Brian admits he fell asleep in the theater and explains why having three seasons of a TV show completely robbed this movie of its cinematic magic.Dave Filoni's Ego Trip: Why Brian is officially "out" on Dave Filoni's stewardship of Star Wars, specifically calling out the director for putting himself in the movie twice. We discuss why his vision for the galaxy feels too "small".The Best Scene in the Movie: We highlight Grogu's solo adventure sequence. Why this movie is a 4-star experience for kids, even if it's only a 3-star movie for adults.Box Office Expectations: With a $160 million global opening, the film is tracking to finish around $400 to $450 million. We discuss why Disney is perfectly fine with this "new standard" and why Star Wars may never hit $2 Billion again.The 10-Year Vault Solution: Brian pitches his drastic solution to save the major IPs: shut down all live-action Star Wars and Marvel projects for 10 years to make audiences actually miss them.Ludwig Göransson's Incredible Score: Why the film's musical score is the one truly special element that beautifully blends John Williams' classic orchestra with new, original synthesizers.
