Episodes

  1. Mando & Grugoo do a Star Wars: The Movie

    brought to you by corporate mandate and artistic apathy (both the movie and the podcast)

  2. Monarch S2 Ep 6-10 & Godzilla: Minus Zero Trailer

    King Ghidorah, if you can hear me, PLEASE k*ll them.

  3. Project Hail Mary & Monarch S2 Ep 1-5

    The book club returns for yet another riveting pop-sci-fi novel with a big budget adaptation. We're are also forced back into the dredges of creatures, adultery, and crap streaming nonsense.

  4. Best of Rebels & Robots & Etc. Year 3 (2025)

    Highlights from 2025 reviews of Andor, the Jurassic Park series, and misc Transformers stuff plus the best out-of-context Rach and Cam quotes and Athena moments.

  5. Star Wars: Vision Vol. 3 Part 2 and Monarch Season 2 first trailer

    An apocalyptic Death Star destruction experience, annoying anime girls, and a little bit of venison talk. (Oh yeah. And Monarch Season 2 is just standing there, menacingly. Threatening to curse our screens next year.)

  6. Star Wars: Vision Vol. 3 Part 1

    In the first half of Star Wars Visions 3, we see a 30-lightsaber-arm woman, a Grogu knockoff, the Good Autistic Doctor, a droideka mech suit, and Steve Busemi (so just basic anime stuff).

  7. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past: trying to find something nice (or even mean) to say

    Disney trying to avoid paying its actors, a bizarre Star Wars VR toy-collecting game, and podcast analytics: the things we discuss instead of this week’s topic.

  8. 1995 in Film

    It’s Cameron’s birthday, he’s 30, and he wants to talk about films from his birth year. So enjoy us having to talk about Kevin Spacey, Bryan Singer, Mel Gibson, and Mr. Holland kissing a high school girl.

  9. Let's Take a Tangent: Saviors and Star Wars Misconceptions

    Rachel lists the the podcast-relevant savior figures and Cameron goes off about what people get wrong about Star Wars.

  10. Shin Godzilla is boring on purpose

    Shin Godzilla is …. a lot. Godzilla himself looks like a scabbed-over soar. The score includes every genre known to man. And the board room meetings are plentiful.

  11. Transformers G1: Dinobot Island

    As if 7 Jurassic Park movies weren’t enough, now it’s time to see how the Transformers deal with a dino-island.

  12. July-rassic World: Fallen Kingdom & Dominion - These Movies Ex-stink

    I refer you back to that perfect episode title

  13. Jurassic World: Rebirth - Just the Second Half of the Lost World Book?

    Time for July-rassic World: Hmm-birth – “Accurate" Spinosaurus (gross), Titanosaurus mating ritual (no thanks), & Scarlett Johansson’s lifeless plastic face (terrifying).

  14. July-rassic World: Bigger, Louder, More HMMM

    For June-rassic Park, we got caught up in celebrating an incredible marriage of high-level spectacle and engrossing character work, but for July-rassic World, even when we want to say something nice, we can’t help but stumble upon yet another fundamental and catastrophic flaw in this thing. ….…

    more

  15. Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park 3

    Dino-soar into “Lost World: Jurassic Park” and Jurassic Park 3, movies that make us want to see Jeff Goldblum back in leather, forget seeing a raptor talk, and punt a baby Pteranodon.

  16. Junerassic Park: Book Cast Club with our lawyer, Caleb

    Break out your novels and make some tea, cause it’s time for Jurassic book club. Rachel knows all the dinos’ names. Caleb has an alternate film pitch. And Cameron gets his whirring and clicking fix.

  17. Andor S2 Ep 10 - 12: Political revolution via personal dedication by way of emotional terrorism

    The end of Andor is here (Endor?)

  18. Andor S2 Ep 7 - 9: They all throwin' hands now

    Everybody gangster until KX droids show up and start tossing fools.

  19. Andor S2 Ep 4-6: a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed

    Time to do some space grocery shopping, political fundraising, and French-style revolutionizing (cafés included) with Andor season 2 arc 2.

  20. Andor S2 Ep 1 - 3

    It's "Oops, all rebels" as we poorly fly, desperately dance, and awkwardly eat dinner with mom into the start of Andor Season 2.

  21. Flow: Rach and Cam go for a boat ride with some fuzzy friends

    After winning the Oscar for best animated feature, "Flow" has come to R&R to ask one very important question: Cat or Capybara?

  22. Transformers One: New Adventures (stop motion series)

    Bizarre crackhead energy? Embarrassingly awkward voice acting? Increasingly unpredictable plots? Transformers is back, boys.

  23. Best of Rebels & Robots & Etc. Year 2 (2024)

    Highlights from all our seasons in 2024 plus Rach and Cam's best out-of-context quotes and sincere analysis.

  24. Let's Take a Tangent: Cybertronian Law and Best Star Wars Novel Titles

    Cam and Rach won't have to struggle to stay on topic today because the topic is: whatever garbage is coming out of their mouth at the moment.

  25. Jurassic World 4: Rebirth Trailer and 2024 Favorites

    After looking at the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth and before barreling forward with no plan for 2025, we’re looking back at the best of 2024: movies, tv shows, moments on the pod, and our infamous (and increasingly convoluted) season names.

  26. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Ep. 5, 6, 7, & 8 (season finale)

    They are the space piiiirates, who don't do anythiiiing. ♫

  27. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Ep. 3 & 4

    Space owls, space bad French accents, and space almost murder.

  28. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Ep. 1 & 2

    It’s the start of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. Practical creatures. Disaffected suburban pre-teens. 16-year-olds beefing with 11-year-olds. Nice! The ’80s are so back in the galaxy far, far away.

  29. Happy Hatesgiving

    Haters (Rach & Cam) gonna (podcast about) hate (stuff they don’t like).

    Rach and Cam give their favorite spooky- and autumnal-themed picks for this special time of year (spoiler: there is a lot of animation on here).

  32. Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy and Wild Robot

    It’s animation-mania with a double-header review, both about lifeless manufactured objects that still manage to steal our hearts: Lego and robots.

  33. Transformers One review - Dumb Jokes and Dark Notes

    Transformers One: a movie that simultaneously tries to work for children who’ve never seen a movie before AND adults who want an emotionally complex evolution of Megatron from passive worker to radicalized revolutionary. Let’s just say that there is a lot to podcast about.

  34. Bumblebee (2018 movie) and our Transformers film pitch

    Leading up to the release of Transformers One, we look at the satisfying tangibility yet inherent forgettability of Bumblebee (2018) and pitch our own ideas for the ultimate Transformers film.

  35. Castle in the Sky: learning from the killer robots of a doomed civilization

    Join us for a journey to the Castle in the Skycastle where we will meet a thicc grandma airship pirate, curvaceous warbots, and metaphors for the inevitable failing of man's desire to glorify his own kingdom.

  39. Inside Out 2 and Star Wars: The Acolyte Ep. 6 - 7

    Do you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?" The answer is anxiety. Whether it is a teenager or space witches: anxiety.

  40. Star Wars: The Acolyte Ep. 4-5

    We sink our teeth into some juicy Acolyte action while Darth Teethies sinks his saber into a bunch-a-Jedi chest cavities.

  41. Star Wars: The Acolyte Ep. 1-3

    The first three episodes of The Acolyte are a bit rough, but at least it allowed us to talk about terrible beard prosthetics, space cat people, and … modern feminist use of witch symbolism? Meanwhile, Rachel blames Cameron for us not recording last week and Cameron recalls his meeting ... with...

  42. Tales of the Empire

    In our review of Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, we have some very important questions about inquisitors: Why do they all have a unique look? Do they get helmet hair? Why did they stop using the sabercopters? Also this week: a look at Transformers G1's geopolitically errant version of Europe.

  43. Bad Batch Series Finale

    In our review of the Bad Batch series finale, we have a lot of questions: What was it all about? Did anyone actually plan out this third season? How many one liners can Rachel say in one sitting? Did Gonky survive?

  44. Bad Batch S3 Ep 12 & 13
