This week’s episode opened with Matt holding things down solo, answering Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One standout: Would he still want to explore space after watching Alien: Earth? His answer revealed both caution and curiosity—and maybe a bit of trauma.
Matt also shared a quick review of Caught Stealing, calling it a solid, gritty crime drama worth checking out. Then came the big reveal: brand-new stills from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, followed by discussion of the now-confirmed Starfighter film from Shawn Levy. The cast is official, and the hype is real.
Nick joined in to break down Episode 5 of Alien Earth, an episode they both loved for its clear homages to Ridley Scott’s original Alien and how it finally tied together some early premiere mysteries.
Then came a galactic-scale debate: Could stormtroopers contain a Xenomorph outbreak on the Death Star? Let’s just say opinions were split and chaos ensued.
The episode wrapped with fan answers to the Question of the Week and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan artist spotlights, featuring more incredible toy photography and digital art from the community.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
