After six weeks of thrills, chills, laser swords, and various fans losing their ever-loving minds about whether this was the worst thing in Star Wars ever or just the worst thing in the past year, the Obiwan Kenobi limited series is complete. Which poses the biggest question of them all... how did we do in predicting what would happen and what wouldn't?! We'll go through all of our parsing of interweb rumors and see which one of these idiots will come out on top.
Also, in The Week In Geek... we talk about the rumors of Gillian Anderson joining the MCU, hot takes on the new Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning trailer, and the return of our Red Five Star Wars Trivia segment.
LINKS OF INTEREST:

We've been on quite a run of sequels in the recent years that pick up decades after the original and somehow manage to treat the subject matter with some delicacy and produce a decent movie. Will Top Gun: Maverick continue the tradition or will it drill a smoking crater somewhere in an unnamed country? Who knows, but it's gonna be fun to find out what the idiots had to say about this one!
Also, in The Week In Geek... we talk some Ghostbusters news as well all the injuries and other debacles currently happening in WWE and AEW.

That's right... WE SAID IT!
For all the venom and derision directed at Rian Johnson's foray into a galaxy far, far away, we happen to believe it's not only a GOOD Star Wars movie, but a GREAT one. So your humble idiotic hosts break down what The Last Jedi did right, what it did wrong, and lay out the case for why it deserves to be in the discussion as one of the top flicks in the franchise.
Also, in The Week In Geek... somehow, our Real or Jabroni picks have been vindicated, after a fashion ... news about a new animated Ghostbusters project and the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife ... and our thoughts on episode four of Obi-Wan Kenobi along with reactions to fan complaints.
LINKS OF INTEREST:
- We may be idiots, but occasionally, we're right... Our Real or Jabroni picks have been vindicated! Twice!
- Do we really need a new Ghostbusters animated series and a sequel? YES!

The idiots take a break from all things Marvel and sci-fi to talk some music. Rather than the usual recommendation of a different bands, in honor of Taylor Hawkins, both albums will be from the Foo Fighters - 2002's One By One and 2011's Wasting Light.
Also... A trailer for Mando season 3 complete with release info, news on Picard season 3, our thoughts on Kenobi thus far, and could Jon Gruden wind up being the downfall of the NFL commissioner?

Most importantly, which idiot is going to take home TWO bottles of bourbon when this thing is all said and done?! Start the journey with us!

Now that we've managed to get out to the theaters to see the new Doctor Strange movie (and vent our frustrations about some Star Trek in our previous episode), we're ready to see how we did with our predictions of what would and what wouldn't happen in Multiverse of Madness. As always, these were based off fan theories The Man They Call Tim found on the interwebs that were quite possibly typed by crazy people or non-existent people (or crazy non-existent people just to cover all the bases), so as usual, large chunks of salt should be taken with all.
LINKS OF INTEREST:
- I got a fever... and the only cure is more cowbe... um... Dune, Part 2!
- Well, that was quick... Marvel may have their new director for the Fantastic Four!
- Science fiction fans rejoice! Violent delights return this June!

That's right, we said it. We dive into the wreckage of what was a promising season of storytelling and figure out what went wrong along the way. Uncle Todd gets the chance to vent about his issues with the show, The Man They Call Tim attempts to throw in some bright spots, and we virtually guarantee that we will never be invited to a Trek convention for as long as we live. Enjoy!
Also... We talk about a possible character returning to face off with Boba Fett, the potential release date for Mando season 3, our thoughts on the Moon Knight season finale, and... *sigh* ... The Man They Call Tim continues his reign of terror with Red Five Star Wars trivia.

The newest addition to the MCU arrived today in all of its mind-bending weirdness, and we're here to break down all the fan theories surround Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness for you before heading to the theater. Will there be mutants? Will there be celestials? Will Wong take America Chavez out for a cheeseburger and a heart to heart chat? Who knows, but we're putting our best guesses on the record for you!
Also... We go over our thoughts from the second-to-last episode of Moon Knight (we recorded before Wednesday so thoughts on the season finale to come next week), our impressions from the Thor: Love & Thunder trailer, news about the director for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, and... unfortunately (from Uncle Todd's perspective anyways), a return to the Red Five Star Wars trivia segment.

Can you believe we've managed to keep this schtick going for 100 episodes without getting banished from the interwebs, arrested, or kicked out of our homes? Neither can we!
So we celebrated with a special episode where we talked about whatever the hell we wanted to, which means... you get another episode of Battlestar Galactica chatter. That's right, five episodes wasn't enough to contain our love for this show, so we're talking about the miniseries pilot and the series finale since those were left out of our brackets. Pour an ambrosia and light up a cigar, we're ready to... jump!
...AND ANOTHER THING:
The Man They Call Tim recommends seeing CODA, which was out in theaters back when we recorded this.
Uncle Todd thinks you oughta give Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. another watch on Disney+

Also... we talk about the premier episode of Moon Knight, the possibility of Amy Pond returning to Doctor Who, and a few choice thoughts from The Man They Call Tim regarding Wrestlemania weekend.
