Was Mando Grando?

One of the first potential Geek Blockbusters of the season has come (and gone) from theaters, and The Guys are wondering if it is a bust, indeed.  Robbie’s annual birthday movie was spent at The Mandalorian and Grogu and his immediate reaction was: No-gu.   Jay and Art had to see it for themselves so they invested in a discounted matinee ticket and went in with low expectations.  Final verdict?  Entertaining, but they had questions.  Is it a kids’ movie with excessive violence? Why was Sigourney on the journey?  Why isn’t Scorcese muppetized in more films? How many months do they have to work out to go from a Jabba body to a Rotta build? The questions aren’t serious…and it’s hard to tell if the movie is.  But it certainly generated a lot of discussion.   Art also sneaks in a popcorn bucket announcement, Jay’s interest in toys may have turned him into a Swiftie, and Robbie laments what may be the final demise of his most favorite show ever…unless it is miraculously regenerated.  Also regenerated: this podcast, every week for almost 400 weeks.  The Guys don’t believe it either.
