  • Ahsoka Breakdown: Episode 5 + 6
    Sep 21 2023

    Sho gets into the two best episodes of Ahsoka yet, including what was essentially a live-action episode of The Clone Wars with the return of Hayden Christensen - how was it to see both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader as portrayed by the same actor?

    Plus, we are finally treated to the live-action debut of Lars Mikkelsen's Grand Admiral Thrawn - was it everything we imagined? Sho gets into his introduction, the idea of 'kintsugi' in the Night Trooper armour, and the lore re-imagining of the Dathomir Nightsisters.

  • Ahsoka Breakdown: Episode 3 + 4
    Sep 11 2023

    Sho has more Ahsoka reaction, including the homage(s) to A New Hope in Episode 3 and the trend of having Force users that don't actually have strong connections to the Force itself, but is that really an issue?

    Plus, Sho gets into the action-heavy Episode 4, including Sabine vs. Shin, Ahsoka vs. Marrok, and Ahsoka vs. Baylan - he discusses the rumours surrounding Marrok, Baylan's demeanour during (and after) their battle, and the musical cliffhanger the episode ends on.

What easter eggs did Dave Filoni hide in the first two episodes? Sho discusses all the EU references and more.

  • Avatar: The Way of Water & Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
    Jan 24 2023

    Avatar: The Way of Water cracks two billion (!) dollars at the box office - must be culturally relevant in some way, right? Sho brings on Mark Gougeon to discuss that very idea and to review both the return to Pandora, and a return to the (beautifully animated) world of Puss in Boots. Plus, some quick Oscar nomination predictions ahead of the official announcement!

  • Kenobi Reaction: Part VI
    Jun 26 2022

    The season finale of Kenobi is out, which means the finale of Sho's Kenobicasts!

    He gets into the Vader vs. Kenobi fight, and what it means to bridge the prequel trilogy to the original trilogy like this. He discusses the ending to Reva's storyline, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, and a cameo at the end of the show - a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
