The Mandalorian

Show and Bob Odenkirk, the nightmares he had before shooting Friends, and the very cool thing Jerry Seinfeld told him after one of his auditions.

He shares the terrifying accident that left him paralyzed for 10 days, and how he had to teach himself to walk again, what it was like secretly filming The Mandalorian, and why the internet apparently thinks Brian Posehn is responsible for starting all the Nickelback hate.

Plus, you know we're talking metal, Bay Area thrash, Metallica.

We're talking about Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Rush, Anthrax, and the concert that actually brought Brian to tears.

But then I learned, you know, eventually.

I was real young when I first did that show, but I feel like if I was on a show now as a writer, I would handle it so differently because of Bob and, you know, what I learned.

As a, as a self-proclaimed nerd, and, and actually it was another kind of an action scenario when you were in The Mandalorian as the pilot, which I remember seeing.

There he is.

So then Disney decides that they need to fill Disney Plus with lots of different streaming services, some more successful than not.

But I think that, you know, the Mandalorian starts off as a huge success for them.

Then they kind of go into things like Book of Boba Fett, which basically becomes a Mandalorian 3.5. Yeah, that was weird.

And then they have a hit on their hands with Andor, maybe because it's so different from the Star Wars that we're used to.

take Grogu away.

And that's where that should have ended.

I don't think Grogu should have come back to the Mandalorian.

He should have stayed with Luke.

Right.

Which is where like the Mandalorian started going wrong was like, again, it was something brand new, brand new characters, little hints of the universe, but it was like in a new spot.

you know, that we were getting to play with, you know, new archetypes and we're playing with it being a Western.

And then it was like, and then we're going to shove in all the fucking characters from all the other properties, right? And it's like, oh, why is it not working anymore?

go.

Dave Filoni is doing a movie that's going to wrap up the Mandalorian stuff.

I'll watch it.

Let's go.

And, Will, I sit here like three and a half years later, and I tell you, not a single one of those movies has been made.

In fact, we got two other different movies.

Besides those two, we got Mandalorian and Grogu and now Starfighter.

So, you know, it'd be nice.

You know, this is one to watch with the family.

You got Mandalorian and Grogu.

We saw it in the theater.

It's fine.

I'm not one to brag, but I will say Stolen Kingdom played the Lemley Noho the weekend that Mandalorian and Grogu came out.

We had more people attend Stolen Kingdom than attended Mandalorian and Grogu.

That makes sense.

It is a better movie.

Matt Deniman announced that Chris Yost and Eric Heisserer will serve as co-showrunners on the adaptation of his wildly popular lit RPG series, Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Yost's credits include The Mandalorian, Thor Ragnarok, and Star Wars Rebels, while Heisserer is best known for Arrival, Bird Box, and Netflix's Shadow and Bone.

I'm very excited for these two to be co-showrunning it because...

These titles are such a good mix of what you need for a good dungeon crawler Carl.

Yeah, that all seems like a good mix of shows to follow from the Ragnarok.

Definitely has the kind of humor, like, you know, a lot of the kind of the jokes and stuff that they use in the show fit that that feeling.

But being able to accomplish like the Mandalorian, you know, style, you know, dynamic of the characters, I think will fit the story.

The Rebels obviously has its own style.

This sums up this guy.

Also, for some reason in that series, they decided to like go off and do the Mandalorian for two episodes and then come back again.

I was like, wait, what's going on? We're just, now we're just in the Mandalorian.

Bro, if we go down this rabbit hole, I'll do it for an hour.

All right, let's not.

I don't watch all the new Star Wars shits.

I didn't know, but apparently Ahmed Best, he had a part in The Mandalorian and stuff, and so there's been some sort of retribute.

He's doing all right.

I mean, dude, he still got paid.

On July 2nd, 1776, Congress declared independence.

But we celebrate the press release, not the actual event, because that's what circulated.

July 4th, 1776...
