We get to talk about well kind of long compared
to the other ones.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, I mean yeah, it, I mean I was it.
I thought it was just a few minutes longer than

Speaker 2 (01:52):
But yeah, I mean, I don't know how else to
set this up other than like it's Skelton crew. Guys.
You've heard us talk about six episodes into show so far,
so you kind of get our vibe. And yes, some
things happened here that I don't think any of us
predicted in our random predictions. But as we said last
week and it's becoming to be confirmed true, doesn't really matter.
(02:12):
I'm sill having a good time with the show. So
that's just bearing my lead. So obviously we got to
go in and do our you know, thirtad points of
views and cuttle rundowns all that stuff. But uh, yeah, no, guys,
you got anything else to contribute or add before we
run down the episode.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm just having a lot of fun, That's all I have.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, Yeah, I just I don't know, I'm just really enjoying,
like like not that podcasting is work. You gotta notice.
You know, this is this is a fun hobby that
we get to do. But sometimes you're like, Okay, I

Speaker 3 (02:44):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But some but like every time, like I can't wait
to get on here and talk to you guys about
Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, honestly, I was the same way in terms of
some things you do because you really can't wait. You're
on the edge of your seat. It comes out drops
nine pm Eastern and you're right there ready to watch it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
When it started out, I gotta say it was one
of those like I'll get to it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Before we re forward that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I was excited for it. I want to see it.
The later we get and the more episodes are in,
the sooner I'm watching it. It used to be like
a day or two, depending on when we were going
to talk wherever I would get to it. But i've
been it's been like top billing. Now I want to
watch it when it comes out because I want to
know what happens. It's fun. Yeah, all right, let's get
into the kessel rundown.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Skeleton Crew episode seven, titled We're Gonna Be in So
Much Trouble was released on January seventh, twenty twenty five
five whoa Oh. It was written by Christopher Ford and
John Watts and directed by Lee Isaac Chung. The parents
(03:54):
send a transmitter into outer space and are busted by
the security droids. The pirates arrive at Atten at almost
the same time as the Onyx Sinder, resulting in the
latter's capture. The pirate glob is sent into the barrier
and is destroyed by its defenses, realizing that the ship
is the only key to bypassing the planet's defensive barrier.
(04:17):
That's not exactly what happened, but Jod kills Brutus when
the children incapacitate him, resumes his former captaincy and tells
the pirates to conceal themselves until he obtains the location
of the planet's vaults. The children manage to use the
pirate code to get SM thirty three to turn on
Jod so they can escape, but Jod stows aboard the
(04:39):
Onyx Sinder, decapitates SM thirty three and threatens the children
into silence. As the security droids question the parents, the
supervisor is heard announcing the arrival of the republic emissary
Jod poses as a Republic emissary to gain access to
the vaults before he can meet with the supervisor. The
(04:59):
children are briefly reunited with their parents before John approaches
them with his lightsaber drawn. Interesting note, I didn't pick
up on this when You're hit. Did any of you
recognize the voice of the supervisor? No, it is a
known audiobook narrator, Stephen Fry.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh. I wonder if you actors should be there like
the show them. I mean, it has to be right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is is he going to be just the voice or
seeming to be the actual person as well, or maybe
we won't actually see him supervisor.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
If he is just a voice, it's a it's here,
he's a he's a Wizard of Oz. Character is just
like a voice behind It's like a little creature behind
a giant voice or something.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, for me, I recognize it most from Harry Potter
audio books.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh, you didn't evoke HP around him, did you? You
said the HP work.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I did it purposely because I know Joe's Joe is
right in there.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I think it's like your eye twitch, buddy.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I'm halfway through the time. She seems like not a
very nice lady. I don't know how I feel about
it yet better.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I'm happy you're doing this because I went through I
went through har Potter UH a few years ago and
it was it was one of the most fun things
I've done. So I don't know why I missed the
hype as a kid, but for some reason I have
to watch an adult.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I didn't think.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I thought reading was lame as a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's why I was always about reading. And this was
my first like obsessive reading that I ever got into it.
And I resisted it for a while, like my grandmother
bought me the first one. I was like, I don't
want to read about witches. And when I finally got
into it, it got to the point where I was doing
midnight midnight releases of books like oh, because you're old,
I forgot Yeah, going to get books at Barnes and Noble.
(06:42):
We had to go to the storage my wife, my
wife's to say major as me, and she got the
last Harry Potter book at like I think they did
like a midnight release. They only bought one book, and
she's like, she tells the story all the time of
like mom got it first and she read it in
a day. Then she had to wait a week for
her sister to read it, and then she's the youngest
and she got it. I'd go get my own.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, but yeah, but no, outside of the supervisor being
Stephen Frye, which I didn't, I didn't know. I was
trying to think if there's anything else that we that
the custle went now did not cover, and I don't.
I don't think they did.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, I mean just some minor details like John didn't
know that the ship was the key.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
S M thirty three revealed that as they were going through,
and the fact that the children got to hear the
message that their parents had sent to them, but so
did the pirates, which told them what to do, like
you have to get an emissary ship, yeah, or emissary
republic emissary to let you in.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And then just like the sheer vastness of the one
droid or one vault we saw, yeah, and that there
are like eleven hundred vaults on this one planet.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I was gonna say it, dude, of these jewel planets. Ye,
that did this?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't. I don't think this was like, I mean,
obviously it wasn't a secret, but like John putting on
that helmet, that mask that was kind of a like
they like they didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
The first episode when we first see him when the
first episode starts out, he's wearing that that mask that's
like the captain mask.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, but yeah, because yeah, but I thought there was
this whole gimmick of like he was wearing the mask
in the first episode, but we never saw who was
underneath it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, you know, like we didn't, but it got quickly confirmed.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, we figured it out. Yeah. I thought might be
like more of like a big deal for him to
put it on and like find it or you know,
I don't know where he got it from.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Just what do you for?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, I mean I think it makes him sound cool.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, looking sound cool.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I think I think you needed the mask on him
to make him sound and come off as intimidating that
he needed to in those scenes because it's jew Law
and we love him.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yeah, he still doesn't look like a villain, even though
he's been like a jerk the entire show.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, well, I think we're starting to dive into some
opinions points of view, so we were right, Yes, yeah, let's
head into it. You're going to find that many of
the truths we cling to depend rickly on our own
point of view.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I think pirates are fun, Like that's That's what I'm
more so coming around to, is I want more.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Pirates Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I think Peter Pan was onto something with The Lost Boys,
like their pirates were kids.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like these these pirates, what are kids?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
These pirates are kids?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, clean these unclean these.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, like yeah, everything the kids do to make you
smile from your ear, like we need to plan attack
And I'm like, yes, yes, but like, look at how.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
The pirates act.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They're basically they don't want to grow up. They don't
want to have jobs. They don't want to work for
what they're doing. They want to eat what they want,
take what they want, and be rich and happy.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
This really does have a lot of.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I want that too. I think I think, yeah, man,
he's got the hair for it. But now, uh, I
think I think before before we get into the kids, uh,
we had a redemption for the parents. Man, we were
hard on the parents. Yeah, how negligent and kind of
laying they were. Uh, and they you know, for as
(10:11):
limited time as they've had, and I'm assuming they're going
to be a part of the last episode, because you
know where everyone's back together, but them like going against
I guess maybe I didn't realize this is probably a
pretty big risk for them to like go against everything
you're doing. And of course it.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Was done like culty government.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, and it was done like a fun way with
the stun guns and then passing off the transmitter like
all these parents are running.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Honestly, I think this is something like if I think
back to like Independence Day where Area fifty one had
been going on the whole time, and the people working
on it know how important it is, but they also
know how important.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The secret is.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But if your kid is is there, then you risk
everything you don't, Yeah, when your kids in danger, you
risk everything. But we find out that they are a
little bit knowledgeable about the fact that at at And
is shielded and protected because they say in their message,
we weren't going to tell you and till you graduate
to the kids. So there's something that they know. I
don't know if it's I personally still don't think that
(11:06):
they know that the republic has fallen in that now
he had the empire and the now the new Republic.
I just think it's more of they know that they're
hidden for a reason because they make all this money.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah. Yeah, and so like you know, you have the
parents a little fun scene there with the getting caught
but getting the message off, which you know is relayed
back to the ship.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But I just recently watched Little Giants again. Oh, and
I feel like them running and getting stunned and passing
the ball to the next one. But I feel like
it's something like the annexation of Puerto Rico, Like that's
what they're doing is once they're running with it, they
get taken down, give it to the other one.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
See.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I will say I did think the my first like
real criticism people who complained about like the laya chase.
I thought that's what was a little worse, Like it
didn't make sense to me, Like why is the I
get that they're targeting the person holding the transmitter, how
is the person freaking a hit not like the people
in back.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
It didn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, why not just stun them all? Yeah, But.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
A little detail about about the little chase in the
beginning one. I love that Neil's mom is the one
who decides to act first. She she proves to be
like the brave.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well she's missing the most. She needs Neil.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, we need Neil back.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But uh but also we're talking about like the chase
being really bad. I was cracking up the whole time
because these are like middle aged parents. They should not
be able to run away from the They come from up,
they come from a society where they don't need to
be aggressive in any manner, Like this is the craziest
thing they've done in their lives, and it's just like, yeah,
of course they shouldn't be able to get past these
droids because they've never done or tried or even imagine
(12:46):
doing this. So that just kind of it just made
it just made me, it made them more endearing. And
as a as a dad myself a bad knees, I
was like, yeah, I get it, man, I get it.
I would have got caught, Joey, we would have all
gotten caught. Bottles done.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but uh uh Jod or whatever, as
whim says, I don't care what fake name you use.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Jod is like I was, I'm conflicted about him because
he kind of hurt my feelings because he's sitting there
with Brutus and he's like, you know, the crew loves me,
and he's like, no, they love plunder. He's like, no,
they love me. And I'm like, Jod, You're just so
charming and cool and you swashbuckler. I love you, man.
I love this archetype of character. And then like you know,
you like they see the ship. You're like, Okay, well,
(13:31):
don't worry. He's gonna find a way to Like I mean,
I know he did that mean thing with the kids
there earlier, but there was a reason for that, right,
He's not just a jerk. And then he just straights
berates him. And I was sitting there after he of
course killed killed. That's some thirty three. It's funny because
I was I was texting you guys as I was
watching the episode, and I was like, oh, man, look
(13:51):
at his heart of Gold moment for reds in thirty three,
And then Chris texts back, yeah, and a wait award.
Before I thought, I'm sorry, I assume that because you
were texting about it, that meant you watched the episode. Yeah. No, No,
I was cracking up because I was like, I was like, well, like,
I was like, and a way award and then like,
as soon as I said it out loud, there it
(14:12):
goes and I was like, oh no, and then he
braced those kids.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
In braids, the kids threatened their parents and the lightsaber
in their face.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I don't know if I'm getting soft in my old
age as Bruce Wayne is, but like I was really
uncomfortable watching him do that to them.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
So, you know, I don't know if our audience is
going to completely get this reference or not.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
And this is a terrible analogy.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I feel like walking into the first episode, I'm sorry,
the second episode when you kind of realized that John
has a history and his.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well Johd doesn't even show up until the second episode.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, okay, oh because those were all the same day.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Well, I guess he wasn't the first one as the pirate,
but you know it's him anyways.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Sorry, you probably thought he was a hero, and then
like the second one, you're like, oh, okay, he's kind
of a dark side. I would put the odds at
him getting a Heart of Gold Award at one thousand. Sure,
Oh no, that's our but I'm yeah, I'm talking more
at the very end. Yeah, sorry, because and now those
(15:12):
odds are like plus one fifty, like it's it might,
it might not happen.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, I I I I think at the end this
episode he's just the villain, and I think he's gonna
be thwarted on the last episode. He may even die, Yeah,
probably a horrible pitfall or something, you know, or he'll
get crushed by the mint.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, I think he gets away.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You think he gets away season seasons, they're gonna go
track him down. The skeleton crew is I just want.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
To know they haven't said it right?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Have they said it?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Like where the skeleton Like has there been a line
with the title show?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Now they're go they're gonna say we're a crew they
had again and he's gonna cut off.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
It's like where some kind of skeleton crew?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, yeah, Well they've.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Said every episode title in every episode, so you gotta
say they'll say that the well, you know, you know
what skeleton crew means, like you have a crew of
a ship, but it's like bare minimum.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Oh I thought it was because they found skeletons in
the back of the ship.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That's what I thought. A skeleton crew is a term
for like a ship that has like the bare minimum.
It doesn't it's not a fully staffed ship. It's it's
there's only enough to make it barely work. Yeah, I
just I wonder what his motivations are, his backstory. I
want to know more about him, like why why would
he why would he help the kids so much be
(16:31):
supportive in there?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
And then.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He ditched the pirates at some point, but now he
wants to be a part of the pirates again. What
are what are his motivations? What does he want to
do there?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Probably if we go back and watch this episode, which
I probably will honestly because I just truly enjoyed it,
there's probably gonna be like everything he does that is
I guess. I mean, of course we can next week
might all come back and say, you know what, actually
ended up being a good guy. We were wrong again.
But but that would be kind of wishy washed at
this point, because this episode kind of pushed him to
a point where I don't want him to return to
(17:04):
this point.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I'm right now.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, but I but I bet you if you go
back and watch it, it seems like everything he did to
protect the kids is still in line with getting to
the getting to the treasure, Like.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And you could justify a lot of things with kids
in that he did what he had to do because
they don't understand, he can't make them understand, he doesn't
need them invalve blah blah blah. Like if he turns
and you know, he holds the lightsaer up to the
parents of the end, if we start the next episode,
he deactivates it and talks about how he got the
kids home to them, and then I mean, he's going.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
To pretend he's going to reveal his Jedi name.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Actually, you can justify some of the stuff he did
as just like I don't want to deal with kids.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Sure, sure we lie.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We all lie to our kids about certain things because
they won't understand, they won't follow, or they don't need
to know. It could be something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, like when my kids looked up in our gas
parplace and saw I had a had a ceiling on it. Yeah. No,
I I am curious to what the reaction of the
parents are gonna be seeing a man holding a blue
light saber, you know, because like that's universally good guy
like us, universally safe, you know, like oh, and like
(18:20):
it is a little weird see him with the blue lightsaber,
you know, be kind of aggressive and mean with it.
But uh, but yeah, I'm curious to how they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I'm familiar with the blue lightsaber and doing some pretty
bad things, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
The next episode is gonna, I'm the next episode. He's
gonna turn off the lightsaber and just smile or not smile.
He's just gonna frown and look thrown over his shoulder,
and he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Put his hand out introduce hisself. I'm Jedi Master John,
and I would meet your quaintance here, your children. I
brought them home safely.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
As he holds it at them, it's gonna start bleeding
red until it's fully red, and then you'll know he's
a bad guy because bad good and badter color coded.
And that's it, right.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
But yeah, I I uh I I. I did really
appreciate the small moment where before the kids, you know,
because you know they get away at the end of
the last episode and the beginning of this when they're
they're they're headed home as them thirty three is flying
for them and all these things, and Whim is like
(19:23):
not excited about going home because he's like, well, everything's
just going to go back to the way it was,
and I you know, Neil was like you know what,
you know, we had a great adventure and you know,
we almost died. But I guess that's what makes a
great adventure.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And it was just like I that that was the
one time I thought the writing, Like I think any
kid at this point of be like I just want
to go home, Like I like, we were we were
almost killed by a giant trash crab. We've been dealing
with pirates. You know, you know, John has treated us horribly.
He had not a blade to you know, Fern's neck,
(19:56):
Like I just want to be he around my mom
and daddy, you know, or my dad in this case
for Wim. But you know, but I.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Think he's a little he's a little salty to his dad.
But you see how he hesitates all the parents, all
the kids run to their parents and jump in their arms.
He hesitates a little, and his dad just scoops him up.
And I think that'll change a little bit for him.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, but I I although the writing. I mean, although
I was like, ah, if that were me, I'd be
ready to go home. But seeing Whim still at the
end of the day, being like, you know, he's like
I still gotta take my assessment test, and like I
still got to go, you know, and he's like he
he just doesn't want to go back to that life.
And I do understand what it feels like to be like, man,
(20:36):
I just wish I could do something else. I just
do anything else. I just don't want to do this anymore.
But yeah, so I like, I like that small detail
Brute is dying. Did you guys think that was like
it just seemed kind of brutal for this show, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I think everybody thought, like the kid's reaction to it
was brutal. Yeah, it was. It's kind of been the
it's kind of been the first real action we've seen
on screen, yeah, in this show in particular, because things
have happened off screen not shown, but this is the
first one that we kind of see happen right in
front of your face.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It's almost like the whole show up to that point
had been Star Wars adjacent, Like you know, there's, oh,
look at all these references that were in this universe,
and then it's like, no, you are no longer in
the suburbs. You are in a galaxy far far away
where things happen. They kind of pulled us in and
the rest of the episode kind of kept that vibe going, no.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You're not kids anymore.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, I mean because you know on the Last Planet
where they were basically child soldiers like that, that still
didn't play out, you know, like they didn't have to
see or deal with that in a being fixed by job.
Just just having this moment where Jod and like, I
think that was the moment in the show where I
was like, oh, he's like, you don't shoot a defensive
(21:57):
guy be far as bad as Brutus appear to be.
You know, Uh, you don't shoot a trapped man in
the head with a blaster and then be redeemed like that.
You know. So at that point I was like, oh,
he's the villain. Oh he's a like when it happens,
Oh he's the bad guy. It's not Brutus and the crew.
If the entire time the bad.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Guy has been Johned definitely not a Jedi.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, yeah, I think that kind of closes the door
on that too. And if he is, you don't understand jo.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
But yeah, I could still get behind him being a
Jedi if because it's been so long and he is.
It's not like he's sitting there saying I'm I am
the greatest Jedi. I could still get behind the fact
that he was trained or something. Okay, now to do
the whole acolyte thing, what could they do in the
next episode to make you pissed?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
How could they ruin it John being a Jedi?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I feel.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
If Jedi, I think it would.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Be worse if they don't explain his four stabilities.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I want him.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
I still want him to be a Jedi. I want
I don't want him to be a Jedi. I want
him to have been trained when he was a padawan
and he's been living this life since the Purge. That's
like what I want. But if if we end the
next six Yeah, if we end this episode and he
(23:22):
next week and nothing is addressed about how he uses
the Force, I think that's like weird to just it's
I don't know, people don't have the Force?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, No, well, I mean they they they do. Now
like that that that's something like we have. Like I'm
not a huge fan of that, uh, but that's kind
of the message they've been showing us in all this
Newest Star Wars stuff that the Force successible to anybody
who can or who don't enough to eventually drive to
do it. You know, it's it is. It is not
(23:55):
a I mean, I'm not gonna say it's not special,
but uh yeah, but I'll be fine with him being
like a sixty six survivor you know that went that
way now because he's you know, he had the monologue
last episode about being hungry and never having enough and
always scrape him by, And that sounds like someone who
(24:16):
lost everything, probably in a fashion like that and had
to scrape by his whole life like that. I get that.
I can see a lot of Padawans getting involved in
like criminal organizations after you know, after you know, Order
sixty six.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
But I think what would ruin it for me? If
if he has a redemption.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Even it.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
But I just think it's gone too far back and
forth now and I don't want it to be for
dramatic effect that they do these type of things just
to keep us like enthralled and nervous before they end,
until it just all gets settled. I mean, but they
redeem Darth Vader. I don't want him to what Darthy, Yeah,
(25:01):
but then he paid for it because he immediately died.
But I don't want him to be a good guy
at the end. I guess he doesn't have to be
the villain.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Just a dead good guy. If it happened.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Oh well, no, I'm not comparison.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
It won't. It won't ruin it for me. It's something
that I I don't think it'll ruin it for me.
What do you guys think? Because I keep having this,
I keep having his thought of the last episode, because like,
I'm fully in on Job being a bad guy, and
I'm fully in on him being defeated and losing.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You know, yeah, I'm actually rooting for him to get
the money and go. I don't know why, Like I
want I want to see him get the treasure even
after everything. I kind of want to see him get
away with it. And then the kids are back home
so they're happy and everyone's happy.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Dude. Uh no, Well, speaking of jew Law, uh the
performance he did when he was staring at the gold
and then the way he reacted when it started following
in his hands like that, him just looking at it
and not being able to comprehend what he had just found.
It was a really good job. No, but I'm so
I'm fully bought in on Job being a bad guy
being defeated. But now the question is, like, well, how
who who's gonna stop him? You know, are the parents
(26:09):
gonna fight him? Are the kids gonna fight him? How's
gonna happen? And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Women's good.
We're just gonna use the forces, going to and then
ain't gonna check it out. Uke's He's gonna use the
force and they're gonna realize that he is for sensitive
and they're gonna send him away off the planet to
(26:32):
go be trained, and that that he will have his
happy ending, his dad will see him off, and that
he will get to be the Jedi adventurer like he
always wanted to be.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Anton he meets up with the Knights of Wren.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The nights Aren, But we don't talk about that because
even even Disney has that Jedi kids show, they don't
want to talk about what happens nex to those kids.
But I'm just saying, because remember this is a kid's show,
right and this is made for kids.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
If they're gonna do that, I'd be perfectly found with it.
I wish we got like a hint of it before.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I mean, his obsession with jedies, him trying to hold
the lightsaber wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, I want to see him like like know something
he wasn't supposed to or or said something maybe a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I'm trying to think back with there any moment in
the show where he made like a quick decision and
it worked, or he did something and it worked.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't think he made any decisions.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
He's just I think he's Yeah, he's just messed up everything.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Plot twist. Neil is for sensitive.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, Oh, my look, Jed, if you give me an
adult Jedi master Neil, he's my your favorite Jedi Neil.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
And he would be like the type that would train
in the temple and not ever like go out.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, he raised around for ten years. He definitely sitting
in a in a meditative state for ten years. That
that's the kind of force Neil is gonna use.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
No, I'm thinking though, I'm still thinking about the redemption thing,
and I was trying to think, what what's his character
like archetype, like who is he? And I finally figured
it out. He's flint Ryder. Okay, does anybody know who
this character?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, yeah, I'm waiting for I'm waiting for the I'm
waiting for the context.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Because yeah, he just wants he just wants to be rich,
Like that's all he wants. He wants to be I mean,
I'm not gonna because it's like the I'm thinking about
the pirate thing. Does he want that? No, it's a
means to an end. Does he want like these kids?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
I think he could have hung out with these kids
and actually gone on adventures with them if it was gonna.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Serve him at the end.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I feel like that's all he wants, and maybe he's still.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I was there until the you know, the threatening with
the lightsaber, threatening with threatening his parents. I guess, to
be honest, he still didn't do anything to the kids.
He could have killed the kids and been fine. He
still left them alive.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's not even that for me. It's not the threatening
the kids, not even showing them lightsaber. That's just you know,
him trying keep kids in line. It's the very personalized
and pointed attacks he gave to each character where he
was like you are this, and you are that. You
watch them slump like I genuinely felt bad, Like I
was like, that's you know, you're not trying to you're
trying to break them right there. You're not trying to
(29:14):
get them to be obedient, you're trying to face and
then he like mocks the tear like oh poor boy,
and like oh my god, dude, like you're you're you're
a jerk.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Like it does go in line with like the Star
Wars mentality of the galaxy, Like you don't see many
kids getting raised by their parents to adulthood in Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, that's a rough world up there. But yeah, but
and and and yeah, so like I I don't this
was the episode. Like if they wanted to do a
redemption arc for him, I think it should have been
shown or started in this episode. Like maybe he says
those things to make them so cooperative that he gets
them home safely or something. I don't know. He wouldn't
(29:55):
need to do that though, because their goal was to
get home, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
If he can do that to them, and then we
as the audience see something that maybe leans the other way.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, because you know, like maybe the kids interpreted adult
action differently than you know, the adults in the room
would see it. But I can't interpret it any other way.
It's like this is just a pretty horrible person. And
then like they followed up by him shooting Brutus in
the head, cutting off some three. It's like it's like,
I don't know how many bad things they need to
got to do. I think they intentionally did that to
be like, hey, guys, Jude Law is the bad guy.
(30:26):
I know you like him. I know he's Jude Law,
but look at all the things he's just done. He's
the bad guy.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I mean, because it's like, hurt the kids actually get
that money and go.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, it's it's because we like we like him, and
you know, so it's but that I think that makes
for a fun compelling character because you do like the guy,
but he also like he's his comeback.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know, we really want to know, we want to
know where he came from.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, and hopefully we learned that next episode. And yeah,
I'm just I'm trying to because now now the show
is no longer about getting the kids back home, it's
becoming safe from this pirate and this pirate trying to
rob the planet with a friget of pirates right above,
which another thing I'm I'm trying to think about is
(31:16):
like I don't think these I don't. I don't know.
Maybe I didn't. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't think
these pirates stand a chance at at at and to
like overtake it places like full security droids and like
all kinds of like this place is not just going
to be taken over by a ship of pirates because
they just said so you.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Know, yeah, yeah for a reason.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, So I don't.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah. So I'm just curious to what how they're going
to wrap it up and how JOD is going to
be defeated, because you know, at this point, it's not
the pirates. None of those characters have done anything bad.
They're just kind of falling along with their brutus and Jod.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
So before we get to a ruling, I had a
topic I wanted to bring up discuss. So this at
Aton is a mint for the Republic, and there were
nine of them, and on this one alone there's what
eleven eleven hundred volts or something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
From the far as I can see, just insane.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
This is this is gonna be a nice find when
the New Republic learns about it again. But yeah, there
has to be some record of it, right, Like you
would think somebody in the New Republic when they're setting
up their structure or maybe the fact that man Mathma
is a former senator would know where the money would
come from. That's the side thing. Do you think the
(32:39):
Emperor knew about this?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I would, yeah, I was. I was. I was as
you were saying that, I was piece together. I was like, Okay,
this is the improor, this is the empress stockpile. And
if they I don't want them to.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
But it's kind of known that these credits are older
Republic credits. Yeah, and you know, the Empire put their
imperial stamp on everything. We saw it in the Mandalorian
was the best guy. So did they not use older
republic credits since the time of the Republic?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I think yeah they.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
I'm sure that the Empire quickly said get out with
the old and with the new.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
But it just didn't care to tell them that. Okay,
here's the the Empire. Now see.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
This might have actually majorly screwed screwed up the lore.
I'm actually going to go here because.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I was thinking because at the SPA, who was in town?
What what what?
Speaker 6 (33:38):
What?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
What are the twin huts?
Speaker 5 (33:40):
No, they said, the banking plan is here for whatever.
The banking clan, the banking clan will sign your treaty.
So the banking clan is all the way back from
the separatists. They were still around in the Republic era
and they're in control of everything you imagine. So somehow
(34:00):
currency made it to at least I guess.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Palpatine let the bank banking clan survive. Somehow he got
rid of the Senate, but the banking plan was still
in charge.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Does this these jewels of the older Republic, like these mints,
do they go so far back that they they were
They were like wiped out and raided and taken over
long before the time of like Palpatine and the Empire.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
They had to be like back pre like in the
High Republic era, had somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
They they got what they thought.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
They were all wiped out, but ad Atton was secretly
still there and thriving, but nobody knew about it, even
though they have all these protocols for an emissary coming.
But when's the last time an emissary had to have
been there? It would it would have been so long ago.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Well that that's where my conspiracy confusion brain is on.
Because they reacted is that something that regularly happened, so
clearly it's not actually the Republic doing it.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
They are all droids. Those droids could be hundreds of
years old.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
They're programming.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah, maybe the supervisors is just a voice or the
supervisor you know. I don't know, because the people were
all on that lawn where the ship went and they
were just walking. No idea that what was this clearly
hasn't happened in a long time.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
There I have ever seen a ship in their life.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I mean probably not why they don't leave. Yeah, I
don't know what. Okay, what is bank rolling? Like, what
is screally bank.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Rolling filling those vaults?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I guess like they're.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Not offloading it some no one's come to collect.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Well where is it coming from?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
They're making it?
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, they're but like like like what, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Maybe the planet has uh rich minerals natural resources that
can be turned into these gold daties.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
So they are so like like like like a theory
is like this planet bank rolling like the High Republic,
and then everything happened and they just kind of forgot
about this planet and they don't realize noth things have
happened because they're hidden. So They're just continuing on their
whole thing. And now they filled up eleven thousand vaults.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
They probably think that at Aten was destroyed along with
the other ones.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, and they're just sitting there, just constantly just making money.
They have eleven thousand vaults of just head to toe
mints and there just continues on making it for someone
to eventually come and steal.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
And you well, someone hit the top had to have
known why they're hiding. They're hiding because they make the money.
It is.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
They make people to come and raid it and take
it and attack them. That the secret. The secret is
the money. And I was like, I can I can
get out on board with the Emperor not knowing about
it because he doesn't care about money.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Like he's got he had clones.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
And he got slave labor. He can make people do
whatever he wants. He doesn't care about having He cares.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
About making the right people poor, Like.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Hey man, right, you know when he suddenly showed up
with all those ships, you gotta have money to get
those ships. This is the secret funding of his second coming.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
This is how the first order in the exagul scene
got funded without anyone knowing about it can us the
trilogy again?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
Time to revisit what will get? Will you be pissed
off about at the end of this if this rationalizes
the sequels?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yes, if it explains how the first Order, well no,
I'm sure the First Orders already be explained how they
came to power, right, Yeah, that has to be. Yeah,
we just haven't read that or you know, cared to
look at it for some reason. I don't know why, but.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Yeah, I don't walks in and collects the money.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Oh god, it SnO, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
No, we've already established. Isn't he like a failed.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
The Emperor? Right?
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah? Yeah? Did you did you hear my excitement from Yeah? Lame?
Who who? Okay, let's crazy afful who's the supervisor of anybody?
Is there a new character or somebody were supposed to know?
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I'm more convinced it to nobody. It's nobody that we know.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, okay, it's it's one of those maybe maybe like
a background Mando character like like that, or Jack.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Black Jack, But yeah, Lizzo and Jack they are the
supervisors together. No, I don't know. I I like, I
don't know what's gonna happen over the next I'm assuming
forty five minutes of Skeleton Crew, but I'm excited and
I think I'll be fine with it. Albeit John is
(38:52):
some redemptive Jedi uh, and that's it. I'm pulling for
Whim to be a Jedi because Disney Star Wars is
in need of new Jedi if they want to continue
this giant franchise off. And they got to pull them fluwere,
they got to make them flimwere.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
All right, Well, i think it's time to consult the
Jedi Council and prepare a ruling.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Do it. I must speak with the Jedi Council immediately.
The situation has become much more complicated.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I don't think it's any surprise. I'm still going master
the show start to finish. So far has just been
killing it and I'm enjoying it. I'm having a good time.
I don't think that I would say like, oh, this
is the best No, just because of what it is
and what area fills. I don't think I can ever
say like this is better than and or no. But
(39:44):
I'm definitely enjoying it. It's definitely on the high end
of Disney Star Wars, and I give it the rank
of master.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, I'm with you two master. Yeah no, if if
this is this Skelton crew are my boys and or
you know, for the kids, you know, because this is
great quality Star Wars television and the target like you know,
and doors for the people who crave that grounded kind
of HBO drama on this, you know that that premium feel.
(40:15):
Uh skalter. Crew's just fun. I find myself smiling at
the performance as I laugh. They have me emotionally invested
to like I actually do feel like I felt disgusted
at watching John break Kids. I was genuinely shocked that
had some thirty three God is decapitated and I said,
whoa when Brutus got shot. So you got me that invested.
(40:36):
I'm having a good time, so master from me, man,
but you got Joey, I'm.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
Master.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Okay, you had us in the first half.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Not gonna lie, dude, you have me?
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, no, yeah, no, I just I'm gonna just say
what I say every time.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
It's it's just a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
I don't know what's happening, and yeah, I'm just I'm
just here for the right.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I'm just nice. I'm enjoying every minute.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
All right, Well, who is our MVP of the episode?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I mean, I'm trying to the parents. Yeah, the parents.
Can we give them all one? Because they got the
message across. And I do like the message they sent,
even though Fern was like, my parents, my mom was
lying there, we're in so much trouble, you know hints
the titled episode. Yeah, I do appreciate they were like, hey, listen,
we know you guys are scared. It's okay, just come home.
We love you.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
And I love the joke on the way and they're like,
we're totally actually in trouble.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah, uh no. The parents, man, I.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Like too that they kind of stay true to their
jobs and their position. Like they didn't give away too
much information. They couldn't give away the coordinates to the barrier,
et cetera. They gave what they could to save their kids,
but still they weren't completely treasonous.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Yeah, all right, and.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Thep goes to the parents are comeback player of the episode.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
The kids, they came back.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
They were home. There was quite literally a comeback.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
For lack of anything better, we didn't have any returning
characters in this episode of Pirates coming back from earlier.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
But the pirate from Mendo was had a line in
this episode again. Yeah but yeah, yeah that pirate was
with the like swamp trash pirate guy. Y. Yeah, now
he's with Brute is so okay, So.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
There's some crossover more later.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Well that guy's gone now, isn't he Didn't he get beat? No?
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I think he did.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Yeah, yeah, all right, our rookie of the episode.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I don't think we had any first time characters. Do
we any new characters in this?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
The droid and the vault.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
I was really hoping that. I was hoping that Neil's
little brothers would be in this. Oh I want to
see Neil's little brothers, like like reunited.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
Lost brother eventer. I don't.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
I can't think of any rookie. I mean, I guess
the droid, the the shooting.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
About the new ship, Oh yeah, the new Sender improved
Republic Emissary onyx Cender.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Question about that, William says they're going down once they
get through the barrier. That this isn't a pirate ship,
it's an at at and ship.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Right, Well, that's a kid's definition of it. I think
we learned that that the Onyx Cender is tech running
figured it all out how it was going, and he
stole a Republic emissary ship covering a.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Pirate ship around it.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, that's what I was getting at, because when the
pirates saw it, they were talking about how old of
a ship it looked like. It's like it's an old
Republic maybe even like a higher public ship. You know
that he like retrofitted to look like a pirate ship.
And then that one just okay, so okay, I was
I was making sure I wasn't lost there.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Also, it's called the Onyx what Yeah, black Old got
it well.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
For me, it reminds me of Project Center from the Empire. Yeah,
if he played the Battlefront storyline. Actually, I think gets
mentioned in oh, Mandalorian episode two Mandalorian Asoka, I can't know.
I think it's Mandalorian. Probably it gets mentioned in Mandalorian
because Bill Burr's character when he's talking to the Imperial
(44:22):
officer before he kills him, he talks about Project Center,
which is basically the Empire trashing its own planets, and
he had to be a part of that.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
So yeah, anyway, Bill Burr speaking about Star Wars planets
is just funny.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Well, Bill Burr being like a serious Star Wars character
after talking trash about Star Wars was hilarious. It's a
funny bit that he doesn't talking. But all right, our
skiing award goes.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
To I mean, there's no question.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
You're done. You're done.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
You're dead to me, dude.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
And then lastly, our way toward is obvious. But as
I was watching the episode and you see just die
and I'm like, Okay, so he's all gonna die here,
I guess glurb.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Club whatever the other part. Yeah, whatever the barrier.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
But I'm just thinking, like I'm like, I don't want
to give him an award, no the mean part, but
not thankfully, unfortunately, we also need to award it to
our our beloved new friend s M.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
Thirty three.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, I don't think he comes back from this one.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Know that they're gonna they're they're gonna fix them.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Well, to be fair and lost it, yeah a couple
of times.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Yeah, they're definitely gonna fix him.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
That was another thing, like John let the rat go.
He didn't he could have squashed him.
Speaker 5 (45:37):
Have we spent a moment of this podcast talking about
the rat a little bit in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, I mean, like Yeah, what like, what what is it?
What is the deal with the rat? Just just a
fun thing? Yeah, just fun thing?
Speaker 4 (45:50):
What if he's actually like controlling? What what if the.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Supervisor the rats act supervisor?
Speaker 5 (45:58):
But what if that's thirty three isn't actually a droid
and the rat is just driving?
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Oh that would be so funny.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Like in Men in Black when you pull back the
guy's head there's a little alien inside.
Speaker 5 (46:11):
I think about Scooby, the Scooby Doo movie where Scrappy
is actually inside.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Ye with that direct about James Gunn.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
That's why that's why we are so back, because James
Gunn our Lord and savior.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Anyone listening, if you ever hear Joey say we are back,
you better know that we are. We are so bad
Joey knows when we're.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Back, we must be back a lot. Yeah that's a
that's a topic for another podcast. Yeah, all right to
the tally board. Yeah, we actually have two entries that
would be like to award this time. So we want
to give a heart of Gold to thirty three. Yes,
(46:59):
he chose the kids when he didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, he yeah, found a loophole in his programming for.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
For instance, uncleansase, and they're like trying to say it
works and he goes close enough.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Yep, because even even as some thirty three knows you
don't hurt kids, Yeah, when you're not in your you know,
when you're right. Mind when he was programmed earlier to
rip the limb and limb, we're not gonna talk about that.
But when faced with the real situation like that, he uh,
I mean, good thing, good thing, John. There's you know,
John didn't decide to press the button on his back
(47:30):
this time. He just had to cut his head off.
But you know, you know, not to hear there.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
All right, So plus one heart of gold gives us thirteen. Uh,
and we also got a plus one for I have
a bad feeling about this because, in the spirit of
the award, uh, Neil's mom starts to say it and
gets stunned and can't finish. Yep, I have a bet
and was done done. Plus plus one brings us to nineteen.
Speaker 5 (47:57):
So all right, before before we move on, I just
got a random prediction because of a comment you just made.
In the Redemption arc, when when John comes to save
the day and he's telling the kids, oh, I've been
your friend.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
This whole time. I was just kidding. He's gonna like
one of the kids aren't going to run and turn
off those security.
Speaker 5 (48:16):
Droids on at Aten and he's and they'll be like,
as you told us, you always go for the button
in the back.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
It's gonna happen. That's that's what's gonna happen next week.
Speaker 6 (48:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
I think I think John's gonna be wearing something that
has a button on the back, and then then they're
gonna save for they hit it. He's gonna like fly
off and like fall down a cavern or something. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Oh, okay, I like that too, you know, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
With the Jedi, Okay, that's all the same.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Neil is a Jedi.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
What if his dad is secretly a Jedi. Wendel is
secretly a Jedi. I'll take it they can't reveal until
his son is danger.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
It's actually a giant Jedi temple, you know. That's all
it is. This is a rich, rich Jedi temple. Oh yeah, no,
it is, it is. It is it time for its
time for our favorite part of the show, Star Wars joke. Yeah,
hit us with it, okay, all right, In the spirit
of money, knock, knock.
Speaker 4 (49:20):
Who's there?
Speaker 3 (49:21):
Who's there?
Speaker 2 (49:22):
I'm Adala, I'm Adala. Who I'm Adala?
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Short?
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Can you help me out? Like I said, the quality
is getting worse and worse, but I think my delivery
is getting better and better. So who knows that that
balances it out? We'll find out. Well, Uh, guys, thanks
for listening. Uh next week, finale of season one, maybe
(49:47):
the last season. Maybe maybe this is it, maybe they'll
continue on. Who knows. I don't know if they can
unless the kids just become an actual skeleton crew and
take the ship and go on adventures, which why not
be ca? Thanks listening. Check us out next week. May
the Force be with you.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
We get to talk about well kind of long compared
to the other ones.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, I mean yeah, it, I mean I was it.
I thought it was just a few minutes longer than
the last episode. I don't know, maybe I didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Take the time I want to say, I saw forty.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay, dude, okay, I mean forty minutes for Disney Plus show.
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It's just twice as long as Mandalori.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But yeah, I mean, I don't know how else to
set this up other than like it's Skelton crew. Guys.
You've heard us talk about six episodes into show so far,
so you kind of get our vibe. And yes, some
things happened here that I don't think any of us
predicted in our random predictions. But as we said last
week and it's becoming to be confirmed true, doesn't really matter.
(02:12):
I'm sill having a good time with the show. So
that's just bearing my lead. So obviously we got to
go in and do our you know, thirtad points of
views and cuttle rundowns all that stuff. But uh, yeah, no, guys,
you got anything else to contribute or add before we
run down the episode.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm just having a lot of fun, That's all I have.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, Yeah, I just I don't know, I'm just really enjoying,
like like not that podcasting is work. You gotta notice.
You know, this is this is a fun hobby that
we get to do. But sometimes you're like, Okay, I
gotta record tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But some but like every time, like I can't wait
to get on here and talk to you guys about
Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, honestly, I was the same way in terms of
some things you do because you really can't wait. You're
on the edge of your seat. It comes out drops
nine pm Eastern and you're right there ready to watch it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
When it started out, I gotta say it was one
of those like I'll get to it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Before we re forward that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I was excited for it. I want to see it.
The later we get and the more episodes are in,
the sooner I'm watching it. It used to be like
a day or two, depending on when we were going
to talk wherever I would get to it. But i've
been it's been like top billing. Now I want to
watch it when it comes out because I want to
know what happens. It's fun. Yeah, all right, let's get
into the kessel rundown.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Skeleton Crew episode seven, titled We're Gonna Be in So
Much Trouble was released on January seventh, twenty twenty five
five whoa Oh. It was written by Christopher Ford and
John Watts and directed by Lee Isaac Chung. The parents
(03:54):
send a transmitter into outer space and are busted by
the security droids. The pirates arrive at Atten at almost
the same time as the Onyx Sinder, resulting in the
latter's capture. The pirate glob is sent into the barrier
and is destroyed by its defenses, realizing that the ship
is the only key to bypassing the planet's defensive barrier.
(04:17):
That's not exactly what happened, but Jod kills Brutus when
the children incapacitate him, resumes his former captaincy and tells
the pirates to conceal themselves until he obtains the location
of the planet's vaults. The children manage to use the
pirate code to get SM thirty three to turn on
Jod so they can escape, but Jod stows aboard the
(04:39):
Onyx Sinder, decapitates SM thirty three and threatens the children
into silence. As the security droids question the parents, the
supervisor is heard announcing the arrival of the republic emissary
Jod poses as a Republic emissary to gain access to
the vaults before he can meet with the supervisor. The
(04:59):
children are briefly reunited with their parents before John approaches
them with his lightsaber drawn. Interesting note, I didn't pick
up on this when You're hit. Did any of you
recognize the voice of the supervisor? No, it is a
known audiobook narrator, Stephen Fry.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh. I wonder if you actors should be there like
the show them. I mean, it has to be right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is is he going to be just the voice or
seeming to be the actual person as well, or maybe
we won't actually see him supervisor.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
If he is just a voice, it's a it's here,
he's a he's a Wizard of Oz. Character is just
like a voice behind It's like a little creature behind
a giant voice or something.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, for me, I recognize it most from Harry Potter
audio books.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh, you didn't evoke HP around him, did you? You
said the HP work.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I did it purposely because I know Joe's Joe is
right in there.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I think it's like your eye twitch, buddy.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I'm halfway through the time. She seems like not a
very nice lady. I don't know how I feel about
it yet better.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I'm happy you're doing this because I went through I
went through har Potter UH a few years ago and
it was it was one of the most fun things
I've done. So I don't know why I missed the
hype as a kid, but for some reason I have
to watch an adult.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I didn't think.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I thought reading was lame as a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's why I was always about reading. And this was
my first like obsessive reading that I ever got into it.
And I resisted it for a while, like my grandmother
bought me the first one. I was like, I don't
want to read about witches. And when I finally got
into it, it got to the point where I was doing
midnight midnight releases of books like oh, because you're old,
I forgot Yeah, going to get books at Barnes and Noble.
(06:42):
We had to go to the storage my wife, my
wife's to say major as me, and she got the
last Harry Potter book at like I think they did
like a midnight release. They only bought one book, and
she's like, she tells the story all the time of
like mom got it first and she read it in
a day. Then she had to wait a week for
her sister to read it, and then she's the youngest
and she got it. I'd go get my own.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, but yeah, but no, outside of the supervisor being
Stephen Frye, which I didn't, I didn't know. I was
trying to think if there's anything else that we that
the custle went now did not cover, and I don't.
I don't think they did.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, I mean just some minor details like John didn't
know that the ship was the key.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
S M thirty three revealed that as they were going through,
and the fact that the children got to hear the
message that their parents had sent to them, but so
did the pirates, which told them what to do, like
you have to get an emissary ship, yeah, or emissary
republic emissary to let you in.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And then just like the sheer vastness of the one
droid or one vault we saw, yeah, and that there
are like eleven hundred vaults on this one planet.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I was gonna say it, dude, of these jewel planets. Ye,
that did this?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't. I don't think this was like, I mean,
obviously it wasn't a secret, but like John putting on
that helmet, that mask that was kind of a like
they like they didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
The first episode when we first see him when the
first episode starts out, he's wearing that that mask that's
like the captain mask.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, but yeah, because yeah, but I thought there was
this whole gimmick of like he was wearing the mask
in the first episode, but we never saw who was
underneath it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, you know, like we didn't, but it got quickly confirmed.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, we figured it out. Yeah. I thought might be
like more of like a big deal for him to
put it on and like find it or you know,
I don't know where he got it from.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Just what do you for?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, I mean I think it makes him sound cool.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, looking sound cool.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I think I think you needed the mask on him
to make him sound and come off as intimidating that
he needed to in those scenes because it's jew Law
and we love him.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yeah, he still doesn't look like a villain, even though
he's been like a jerk the entire show.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, well, I think we're starting to dive into some
opinions points of view, so we were right, Yes, yeah, let's
head into it. You're going to find that many of
the truths we cling to depend rickly on our own
point of view.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I think pirates are fun, Like that's That's what I'm
more so coming around to, is I want more.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Pirates Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I think Peter Pan was onto something with The Lost Boys,
like their pirates were kids.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like these these pirates, what are kids?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
These pirates are kids?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, clean these unclean these.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, like yeah, everything the kids do to make you
smile from your ear, like we need to plan attack
And I'm like, yes, yes, but like, look at how.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
The pirates act.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They're basically they don't want to grow up. They don't
want to have jobs. They don't want to work for
what they're doing. They want to eat what they want,
take what they want, and be rich and happy.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
This really does have a lot of.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I want that too. I think I think, yeah, man,
he's got the hair for it. But now, uh, I
think I think before before we get into the kids, uh,
we had a redemption for the parents. Man, we were
hard on the parents. Yeah, how negligent and kind of
laying they were. Uh, and they you know, for as
(10:11):
limited time as they've had, and I'm assuming they're going
to be a part of the last episode, because you
know where everyone's back together, but them like going against
I guess maybe I didn't realize this is probably a
pretty big risk for them to like go against everything
you're doing. And of course it.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Was done like culty government.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, and it was done like a fun way with
the stun guns and then passing off the transmitter like
all these parents are running.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Honestly, I think this is something like if I think
back to like Independence Day where Area fifty one had
been going on the whole time, and the people working
on it know how important it is, but they also
know how important.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The secret is.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But if your kid is is there, then you risk
everything you don't, Yeah, when your kids in danger, you
risk everything. But we find out that they are a
little bit knowledgeable about the fact that at at And
is shielded and protected because they say in their message,
we weren't going to tell you and till you graduate
to the kids. So there's something that they know. I
don't know if it's I personally still don't think that
(11:06):
they know that the republic has fallen in that now
he had the empire and the now the new Republic.
I just think it's more of they know that they're
hidden for a reason because they make all this money.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah. Yeah, and so like you know, you have the
parents a little fun scene there with the getting caught
but getting the message off, which you know is relayed
back to the ship.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But I just recently watched Little Giants again. Oh, and
I feel like them running and getting stunned and passing
the ball to the next one. But I feel like
it's something like the annexation of Puerto Rico, Like that's
what they're doing is once they're running with it, they
get taken down, give it to the other one.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
See.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I will say I did think the my first like
real criticism people who complained about like the laya chase.
I thought that's what was a little worse, Like it
didn't make sense to me, Like why is the I
get that they're targeting the person holding the transmitter, how
is the person freaking a hit not like the people
in back.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
It didn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, why not just stun them all? Yeah, But.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
A little detail about about the little chase in the
beginning one. I love that Neil's mom is the one
who decides to act first. She she proves to be
like the brave.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well she's missing the most. She needs Neil.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, we need Neil back.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But uh but also we're talking about like the chase
being really bad. I was cracking up the whole time
because these are like middle aged parents. They should not
be able to run away from the They come from up,
they come from a society where they don't need to
be aggressive in any manner, Like this is the craziest
thing they've done in their lives, and it's just like, yeah,
of course they shouldn't be able to get past these
droids because they've never done or tried or even imagine
(12:46):
doing this. So that just kind of it just made
it just made me, it made them more endearing. And
as a as a dad myself a bad knees, I
was like, yeah, I get it, man, I get it.
I would have got caught, Joey, we would have all
gotten caught. Bottles done.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but uh uh Jod or whatever, as
whim says, I don't care what fake name you use.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Jod is like I was, I'm conflicted about him because
he kind of hurt my feelings because he's sitting there
with Brutus and he's like, you know, the crew loves me,
and he's like, no, they love plunder. He's like, no,
they love me. And I'm like, Jod, You're just so
charming and cool and you swashbuckler. I love you, man.
I love this archetype of character. And then like you know,
you like they see the ship. You're like, Okay, well,
(13:31):
don't worry. He's gonna find a way to Like I mean,
I know he did that mean thing with the kids
there earlier, but there was a reason for that, right,
He's not just a jerk. And then he just straights
berates him. And I was sitting there after he of
course killed killed. That's some thirty three. It's funny because
I was I was texting you guys as I was
watching the episode, and I was like, oh, man, look
(13:51):
at his heart of Gold moment for reds in thirty three,
And then Chris texts back, yeah, and a wait award.
Before I thought, I'm sorry, I assume that because you
were texting about it, that meant you watched the episode. Yeah. No, No,
I was cracking up because I was like, I was like, well, like,
I was like, and a way award and then like,
as soon as I said it out loud, there it
(14:12):
goes and I was like, oh no, and then he
braced those kids.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
In braids, the kids threatened their parents and the lightsaber
in their face.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I don't know if I'm getting soft in my old
age as Bruce Wayne is, but like I was really
uncomfortable watching him do that to them.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
So, you know, I don't know if our audience is
going to completely get this reference or not.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
And this is a terrible analogy.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I feel like walking into the first episode, I'm sorry,
the second episode when you kind of realized that John
has a history and his.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well Johd doesn't even show up until the second episode.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, okay, oh because those were all the same day.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Well, I guess he wasn't the first one as the pirate,
but you know it's him anyways.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Sorry, you probably thought he was a hero, and then
like the second one, you're like, oh, okay, he's kind
of a dark side. I would put the odds at
him getting a Heart of Gold Award at one thousand. Sure,
Oh no, that's our but I'm yeah, I'm talking more
at the very end. Yeah, sorry, because and now those
(15:12):
odds are like plus one fifty, like it's it might,
it might not happen.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, I I I I think at the end this
episode he's just the villain, and I think he's gonna
be thwarted on the last episode. He may even die, Yeah,
probably a horrible pitfall or something, you know, or he'll
get crushed by the mint.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, I think he gets away.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You think he gets away season seasons, they're gonna go
track him down. The skeleton crew is I just want.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
To know they haven't said it right?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Have they said it?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Like where the skeleton Like has there been a line
with the title show?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Now they're go they're gonna say we're a crew they
had again and he's gonna cut off.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
It's like where some kind of skeleton crew?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, yeah, Well they've.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Said every episode title in every episode, so you gotta
say they'll say that the well, you know, you know
what skeleton crew means, like you have a crew of
a ship, but it's like bare minimum.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Oh I thought it was because they found skeletons in
the back of the ship.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That's what I thought. A skeleton crew is a term
for like a ship that has like the bare minimum.
It doesn't it's not a fully staffed ship. It's it's
there's only enough to make it barely work. Yeah, I
just I wonder what his motivations are, his backstory. I
want to know more about him, like why why would
he why would he help the kids so much be
(16:31):
supportive in there?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
And then.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He ditched the pirates at some point, but now he
wants to be a part of the pirates again. What
are what are his motivations? What does he want to
do there?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Probably if we go back and watch this episode, which
I probably will honestly because I just truly enjoyed it,
there's probably gonna be like everything he does that is
I guess. I mean, of course we can next week
might all come back and say, you know what, actually
ended up being a good guy. We were wrong again.
But but that would be kind of wishy washed at
this point, because this episode kind of pushed him to
a point where I don't want him to return to
(17:04):
this point.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I'm right now.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, but I but I bet you if you go
back and watch it, it seems like everything he did to
protect the kids is still in line with getting to
the getting to the treasure, Like.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And you could justify a lot of things with kids
in that he did what he had to do because
they don't understand, he can't make them understand, he doesn't
need them invalve blah blah blah. Like if he turns
and you know, he holds the lightsaer up to the
parents of the end, if we start the next episode,
he deactivates it and talks about how he got the
kids home to them, and then I mean, he's going.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
To pretend he's going to reveal his Jedi name.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Actually, you can justify some of the stuff he did
as just like I don't want to deal with kids.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Sure, sure we lie.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We all lie to our kids about certain things because
they won't understand, they won't follow, or they don't need
to know. It could be something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, like when my kids looked up in our gas
parplace and saw I had a had a ceiling on it. Yeah. No,
I I am curious to what the reaction of the
parents are gonna be seeing a man holding a blue
light saber, you know, because like that's universally good guy
like us, universally safe, you know, like oh, and like
(18:20):
it is a little weird see him with the blue lightsaber,
you know, be kind of aggressive and mean with it.
But uh, but yeah, I'm curious to how they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I'm familiar with the blue lightsaber and doing some pretty
bad things, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
The next episode is gonna, I'm the next episode. He's
gonna turn off the lightsaber and just smile or not smile.
He's just gonna frown and look thrown over his shoulder,
and he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Put his hand out introduce hisself. I'm Jedi Master John,
and I would meet your quaintance here, your children. I
brought them home safely.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
As he holds it at them, it's gonna start bleeding
red until it's fully red, and then you'll know he's
a bad guy because bad good and badter color coded.
And that's it, right.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
But yeah, I I uh I I. I did really
appreciate the small moment where before the kids, you know,
because you know they get away at the end of
the last episode and the beginning of this when they're
they're they're headed home as them thirty three is flying
for them and all these things, and Whim is like
(19:23):
not excited about going home because he's like, well, everything's
just going to go back to the way it was,
and I you know, Neil was like you know what,
you know, we had a great adventure and you know,
we almost died. But I guess that's what makes a
great adventure.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And it was just like I that that was the
one time I thought the writing, Like I think any
kid at this point of be like I just want
to go home, Like I like, we were we were
almost killed by a giant trash crab. We've been dealing
with pirates. You know, you know, John has treated us horribly.
He had not a blade to you know, Fern's neck,
(19:56):
Like I just want to be he around my mom
and daddy, you know, or my dad in this case
for Wim. But you know, but I.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Think he's a little he's a little salty to his dad.
But you see how he hesitates all the parents, all
the kids run to their parents and jump in their arms.
He hesitates a little, and his dad just scoops him up.
And I think that'll change a little bit for him.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, but I I although the writing. I mean, although
I was like, ah, if that were me, I'd be
ready to go home. But seeing Whim still at the
end of the day, being like, you know, he's like
I still gotta take my assessment test, and like I
still got to go, you know, and he's like he
he just doesn't want to go back to that life.
And I do understand what it feels like to be like, man,
(20:36):
I just wish I could do something else. I just
do anything else. I just don't want to do this anymore.
But yeah, so I like, I like that small detail
Brute is dying. Did you guys think that was like
it just seemed kind of brutal for this show, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I think everybody thought, like the kid's reaction to it
was brutal. Yeah, it was. It's kind of been the
it's kind of been the first real action we've seen
on screen, yeah, in this show in particular, because things
have happened off screen not shown, but this is the
first one that we kind of see happen right in
front of your face.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It's almost like the whole show up to that point
had been Star Wars adjacent, Like you know, there's, oh,
look at all these references that were in this universe,
and then it's like, no, you are no longer in
the suburbs. You are in a galaxy far far away
where things happen. They kind of pulled us in and
the rest of the episode kind of kept that vibe going, no.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You're not kids anymore.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, I mean because you know on the Last Planet
where they were basically child soldiers like that, that still
didn't play out, you know, like they didn't have to
see or deal with that in a being fixed by job.
Just just having this moment where Jod and like, I
think that was the moment in the show where I
was like, oh, he's like, you don't shoot a defensive
(21:57):
guy be far as bad as Brutus appear to be.
You know, Uh, you don't shoot a trapped man in
the head with a blaster and then be redeemed like that.
You know. So at that point I was like, oh,
he's the villain. Oh he's a like when it happens,
Oh he's the bad guy. It's not Brutus and the crew.
If the entire time the bad.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Guy has been Johned definitely not a Jedi.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, yeah, I think that kind of closes the door
on that too. And if he is, you don't understand jo.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
But yeah, I could still get behind him being a
Jedi if because it's been so long and he is.
It's not like he's sitting there saying I'm I am
the greatest Jedi. I could still get behind the fact
that he was trained or something. Okay, now to do
the whole acolyte thing, what could they do in the
next episode to make you pissed?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
How could they ruin it John being a Jedi?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I feel.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
If Jedi, I think it would.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Be worse if they don't explain his four stabilities.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I want him.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
I still want him to be a Jedi. I want
I don't want him to be a Jedi. I want
him to have been trained when he was a padawan
and he's been living this life since the Purge. That's
like what I want. But if if we end the
next six Yeah, if we end this episode and he
(23:22):
next week and nothing is addressed about how he uses
the Force, I think that's like weird to just it's
I don't know, people don't have the Force?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, No, well, I mean they they they do. Now
like that that that's something like we have. Like I'm
not a huge fan of that, uh, but that's kind
of the message they've been showing us in all this
Newest Star Wars stuff that the Force successible to anybody
who can or who don't enough to eventually drive to
do it. You know, it's it is. It is not
(23:55):
a I mean, I'm not gonna say it's not special,
but uh yeah, but I'll be fine with him being
like a sixty six survivor you know that went that
way now because he's you know, he had the monologue
last episode about being hungry and never having enough and
always scrape him by, And that sounds like someone who
(24:16):
lost everything, probably in a fashion like that and had
to scrape by his whole life like that. I get that.
I can see a lot of Padawans getting involved in
like criminal organizations after you know, after you know, Order
sixty six.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
But I think what would ruin it for me? If
if he has a redemption.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Even it.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
But I just think it's gone too far back and
forth now and I don't want it to be for
dramatic effect that they do these type of things just
to keep us like enthralled and nervous before they end,
until it just all gets settled. I mean, but they
redeem Darth Vader. I don't want him to what Darthy, Yeah,
(25:01):
but then he paid for it because he immediately died.
But I don't want him to be a good guy
at the end. I guess he doesn't have to be
the villain.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Just a dead good guy. If it happened.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Oh well, no, I'm not comparison.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
It won't. It won't ruin it for me. It's something
that I I don't think it'll ruin it for me.
What do you guys think? Because I keep having this,
I keep having his thought of the last episode, because like,
I'm fully in on Job being a bad guy, and
I'm fully in on him being defeated and losing.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You know, yeah, I'm actually rooting for him to get
the money and go. I don't know why, Like I
want I want to see him get the treasure even
after everything. I kind of want to see him get
away with it. And then the kids are back home
so they're happy and everyone's happy.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Dude. Uh no, Well, speaking of jew Law, uh the
performance he did when he was staring at the gold
and then the way he reacted when it started following
in his hands like that, him just looking at it
and not being able to comprehend what he had just found.
It was a really good job. No, but I'm so
I'm fully bought in on Job being a bad guy
being defeated. But now the question is, like, well, how
who who's gonna stop him? You know, are the parents
(26:09):
gonna fight him? Are the kids gonna fight him? How's
gonna happen? And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Women's good.
We're just gonna use the forces, going to and then
ain't gonna check it out. Uke's He's gonna use the
force and they're gonna realize that he is for sensitive
and they're gonna send him away off the planet to
(26:32):
go be trained, and that that he will have his
happy ending, his dad will see him off, and that
he will get to be the Jedi adventurer like he
always wanted to be.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Anton he meets up with the Knights of Wren.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The nights Aren, But we don't talk about that because
even even Disney has that Jedi kids show, they don't
want to talk about what happens nex to those kids.
But I'm just saying, because remember this is a kid's show,
right and this is made for kids.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
If they're gonna do that, I'd be perfectly found with it.
I wish we got like a hint of it before.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I mean, his obsession with jedies, him trying to hold
the lightsaber wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, I want to see him like like know something
he wasn't supposed to or or said something maybe a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I'm trying to think back with there any moment in
the show where he made like a quick decision and
it worked, or he did something and it worked.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't think he made any decisions.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
He's just I think he's Yeah, he's just messed up everything.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Plot twist. Neil is for sensitive.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, Oh, my look, Jed, if you give me an
adult Jedi master Neil, he's my your favorite Jedi Neil.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
And he would be like the type that would train
in the temple and not ever like go out.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, he raised around for ten years. He definitely sitting
in a in a meditative state for ten years. That
that's the kind of force Neil is gonna use.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
No, I'm thinking though, I'm still thinking about the redemption thing,
and I was trying to think, what what's his character
like archetype, like who is he? And I finally figured
it out. He's flint Ryder. Okay, does anybody know who
this character?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, yeah, I'm waiting for I'm waiting for the I'm
waiting for the context.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Because yeah, he just wants he just wants to be rich,
Like that's all he wants. He wants to be I mean,
I'm not gonna because it's like the I'm thinking about
the pirate thing. Does he want that? No, it's a
means to an end. Does he want like these kids?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
I think he could have hung out with these kids
and actually gone on adventures with them if it was gonna.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Serve him at the end.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I feel like that's all he wants, and maybe he's still.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I was there until the you know, the threatening with
the lightsaber, threatening with threatening his parents. I guess, to
be honest, he still didn't do anything to the kids.
He could have killed the kids and been fine. He
still left them alive.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's not even that for me. It's not the threatening
the kids, not even showing them lightsaber. That's just you know,
him trying keep kids in line. It's the very personalized
and pointed attacks he gave to each character where he
was like you are this, and you are that. You
watch them slump like I genuinely felt bad, Like I
was like, that's you know, you're not trying to you're
trying to break them right there. You're not trying to
(29:14):
get them to be obedient, you're trying to face and
then he like mocks the tear like oh poor boy,
and like oh my god, dude, like you're you're you're
a jerk.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Like it does go in line with like the Star
Wars mentality of the galaxy, Like you don't see many
kids getting raised by their parents to adulthood in Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, that's a rough world up there. But yeah, but
and and and yeah, so like I I don't this
was the episode. Like if they wanted to do a
redemption arc for him, I think it should have been
shown or started in this episode. Like maybe he says
those things to make them so cooperative that he gets
them home safely or something. I don't know. He wouldn't
(29:55):
need to do that though, because their goal was to
get home, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
If he can do that to them, and then we
as the audience see something that maybe leans the other way.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, because you know, like maybe the kids interpreted adult
action differently than you know, the adults in the room
would see it. But I can't interpret it any other way.
It's like this is just a pretty horrible person. And
then like they followed up by him shooting Brutus in
the head, cutting off some three. It's like it's like,
I don't know how many bad things they need to
got to do. I think they intentionally did that to
be like, hey, guys, Jude Law is the bad guy.
(30:26):
I know you like him. I know he's Jude Law,
but look at all the things he's just done. He's
the bad guy.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I mean, because it's like, hurt the kids actually get
that money and go.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, it's it's because we like we like him, and
you know, so it's but that I think that makes
for a fun compelling character because you do like the guy,
but he also like he's his comeback.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know, we really want to know, we want to
know where he came from.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, and hopefully we learned that next episode. And yeah,
I'm just I'm trying to because now now the show
is no longer about getting the kids back home, it's
becoming safe from this pirate and this pirate trying to
rob the planet with a friget of pirates right above,
which another thing I'm I'm trying to think about is
(31:16):
like I don't think these I don't. I don't know.
Maybe I didn't. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't think
these pirates stand a chance at at at and to
like overtake it places like full security droids and like
all kinds of like this place is not just going
to be taken over by a ship of pirates because
they just said so you.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Know, yeah, yeah for a reason.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, So I don't.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah. So I'm just curious to what how they're going
to wrap it up and how JOD is going to
be defeated, because you know, at this point, it's not
the pirates. None of those characters have done anything bad.
They're just kind of falling along with their brutus and Jod.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
So before we get to a ruling, I had a
topic I wanted to bring up discuss. So this at
Aton is a mint for the Republic, and there were
nine of them, and on this one alone there's what
eleven eleven hundred volts or something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
From the far as I can see, just insane.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
This is this is gonna be a nice find when
the New Republic learns about it again. But yeah, there
has to be some record of it, right, Like you
would think somebody in the New Republic when they're setting
up their structure or maybe the fact that man Mathma
is a former senator would know where the money would
come from. That's the side thing. Do you think the
(32:39):
Emperor knew about this?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I would, yeah, I was. I was. I was as
you were saying that, I was piece together. I was like, Okay,
this is the improor, this is the empress stockpile. And
if they I don't want them to.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
But it's kind of known that these credits are older
Republic credits. Yeah, and you know, the Empire put their
imperial stamp on everything. We saw it in the Mandalorian
was the best guy. So did they not use older
republic credits since the time of the Republic?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I think yeah they.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
I'm sure that the Empire quickly said get out with
the old and with the new.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
But it just didn't care to tell them that. Okay,
here's the the Empire. Now see.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
This might have actually majorly screwed screwed up the lore.
I'm actually going to go here because.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I was thinking because at the SPA, who was in town?
What what what?
Speaker 6 (33:38):
What?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
What are the twin huts?
Speaker 5 (33:40):
No, they said, the banking plan is here for whatever.
The banking clan, the banking clan will sign your treaty.
So the banking clan is all the way back from
the separatists. They were still around in the Republic era
and they're in control of everything you imagine. So somehow
(34:00):
currency made it to at least I guess.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Palpatine let the bank banking clan survive. Somehow he got
rid of the Senate, but the banking plan was still
in charge.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Does this these jewels of the older Republic, like these mints,
do they go so far back that they they were
They were like wiped out and raided and taken over
long before the time of like Palpatine and the Empire.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
They had to be like back pre like in the
High Republic era, had somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
They they got what they thought.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
They were all wiped out, but ad Atton was secretly
still there and thriving, but nobody knew about it, even
though they have all these protocols for an emissary coming.
But when's the last time an emissary had to have
been there? It would it would have been so long ago.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Well that that's where my conspiracy confusion brain is on.
Because they reacted is that something that regularly happened, so
clearly it's not actually the Republic doing it.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
They are all droids. Those droids could be hundreds of
years old.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
They're programming.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah, maybe the supervisors is just a voice or the
supervisor you know. I don't know, because the people were
all on that lawn where the ship went and they
were just walking. No idea that what was this clearly
hasn't happened in a long time.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
There I have ever seen a ship in their life.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I mean probably not why they don't leave. Yeah, I
don't know what. Okay, what is bank rolling? Like, what
is screally bank.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Rolling filling those vaults?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I guess like they're.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Not offloading it some no one's come to collect.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Well where is it coming from?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
They're making it?
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, they're but like like like what, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Maybe the planet has uh rich minerals natural resources that
can be turned into these gold daties.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
So they are so like like like like a theory
is like this planet bank rolling like the High Republic,
and then everything happened and they just kind of forgot
about this planet and they don't realize noth things have
happened because they're hidden. So They're just continuing on their
whole thing. And now they filled up eleven thousand vaults.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
They probably think that at Aten was destroyed along with
the other ones.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, and they're just sitting there, just constantly just making money.
They have eleven thousand vaults of just head to toe
mints and there just continues on making it for someone
to eventually come and steal.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
And you well, someone hit the top had to have
known why they're hiding. They're hiding because they make the money.
It is.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
They make people to come and raid it and take
it and attack them. That the secret. The secret is
the money. And I was like, I can I can
get out on board with the Emperor not knowing about
it because he doesn't care about money.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Like he's got he had clones.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
And he got slave labor. He can make people do
whatever he wants. He doesn't care about having He cares.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
About making the right people poor, Like.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Hey man, right, you know when he suddenly showed up
with all those ships, you gotta have money to get
those ships. This is the secret funding of his second coming.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
This is how the first order in the exagul scene
got funded without anyone knowing about it can us the
trilogy again?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
Time to revisit what will get? Will you be pissed
off about at the end of this if this rationalizes
the sequels?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yes, if it explains how the first Order, well no,
I'm sure the First Orders already be explained how they
came to power, right, Yeah, that has to be. Yeah,
we just haven't read that or you know, cared to
look at it for some reason. I don't know why, but.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Yeah, I don't walks in and collects the money.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Oh god, it SnO, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
No, we've already established. Isn't he like a failed.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
The Emperor? Right?
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah? Yeah? Did you did you hear my excitement from Yeah? Lame?
Who who? Okay, let's crazy afful who's the supervisor of anybody?
Is there a new character or somebody were supposed to know?
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I'm more convinced it to nobody. It's nobody that we know.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, okay, it's it's one of those maybe maybe like
a background Mando character like like that, or Jack.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Black Jack, But yeah, Lizzo and Jack they are the
supervisors together. No, I don't know. I I like, I
don't know what's gonna happen over the next I'm assuming
forty five minutes of Skeleton Crew, but I'm excited and
I think I'll be fine with it. Albeit John is
(38:52):
some redemptive Jedi uh, and that's it. I'm pulling for
Whim to be a Jedi because Disney Star Wars is
in need of new Jedi if they want to continue
this giant franchise off. And they got to pull them fluwere,
they got to make them flimwere.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
All right, Well, i think it's time to consult the
Jedi Council and prepare a ruling.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Do it. I must speak with the Jedi Council immediately.
The situation has become much more complicated.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I don't think it's any surprise. I'm still going master
the show start to finish. So far has just been
killing it and I'm enjoying it. I'm having a good time.
I don't think that I would say like, oh, this
is the best No, just because of what it is
and what area fills. I don't think I can ever
say like this is better than and or no. But
(39:44):
I'm definitely enjoying it. It's definitely on the high end
of Disney Star Wars, and I give it the rank
of master.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, I'm with you two master. Yeah no, if if
this is this Skelton crew are my boys and or
you know, for the kids, you know, because this is
great quality Star Wars television and the target like you know,
and doors for the people who crave that grounded kind
of HBO drama on this, you know that that premium feel.
(40:15):
Uh skalter. Crew's just fun. I find myself smiling at
the performance as I laugh. They have me emotionally invested
to like I actually do feel like I felt disgusted
at watching John break Kids. I was genuinely shocked that
had some thirty three God is decapitated and I said,
whoa when Brutus got shot. So you got me that invested.
(40:36):
I'm having a good time, so master from me, man,
but you got Joey, I'm.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
Master.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Okay, you had us in the first half.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Not gonna lie, dude, you have me?
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, no, yeah, no, I just I'm gonna just say
what I say every time.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
It's it's just a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
I don't know what's happening, and yeah, I'm just I'm
just here for the right.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I'm just nice. I'm enjoying every minute.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
All right, Well, who is our MVP of the episode?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I mean, I'm trying to the parents. Yeah, the parents.
Can we give them all one? Because they got the
message across. And I do like the message they sent,
even though Fern was like, my parents, my mom was
lying there, we're in so much trouble, you know hints
the titled episode. Yeah, I do appreciate they were like, hey, listen,
we know you guys are scared. It's okay, just come home.
We love you.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
And I love the joke on the way and they're like,
we're totally actually in trouble.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah, uh no. The parents, man, I.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Like too that they kind of stay true to their
jobs and their position. Like they didn't give away too
much information. They couldn't give away the coordinates to the barrier,
et cetera. They gave what they could to save their kids,
but still they weren't completely treasonous.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Yeah, all right, and.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Thep goes to the parents are comeback player of the episode.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
The kids, they came back.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
They were home. There was quite literally a comeback.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
For lack of anything better, we didn't have any returning
characters in this episode of Pirates coming back from earlier.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
But the pirate from Mendo was had a line in
this episode again. Yeah but yeah, yeah that pirate was
with the like swamp trash pirate guy. Y. Yeah, now
he's with Brute is so okay, So.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
There's some crossover more later.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Well that guy's gone now, isn't he Didn't he get beat? No?
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I think he did.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Yeah, yeah, all right, our rookie of the episode.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I don't think we had any first time characters. Do
we any new characters in this?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
The droid and the vault.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
I was really hoping that. I was hoping that Neil's
little brothers would be in this. Oh I want to
see Neil's little brothers, like like reunited.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
Lost brother eventer. I don't.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
I can't think of any rookie. I mean, I guess
the droid, the the shooting.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
About the new ship, Oh yeah, the new Sender improved
Republic Emissary onyx Cender.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Question about that, William says they're going down once they
get through the barrier. That this isn't a pirate ship,
it's an at at and ship.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Right, Well, that's a kid's definition of it. I think
we learned that that the Onyx Cender is tech running
figured it all out how it was going, and he
stole a Republic emissary ship covering a.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Pirate ship around it.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, that's what I was getting at, because when the
pirates saw it, they were talking about how old of
a ship it looked like. It's like it's an old
Republic maybe even like a higher public ship. You know
that he like retrofitted to look like a pirate ship.
And then that one just okay, so okay, I was
I was making sure I wasn't lost there.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Also, it's called the Onyx what Yeah, black Old got
it well.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
For me, it reminds me of Project Center from the Empire. Yeah,
if he played the Battlefront storyline. Actually, I think gets
mentioned in oh, Mandalorian episode two Mandalorian Asoka, I can't know.
I think it's Mandalorian. Probably it gets mentioned in Mandalorian
because Bill Burr's character when he's talking to the Imperial
(44:22):
officer before he kills him, he talks about Project Center,
which is basically the Empire trashing its own planets, and
he had to be a part of that.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
So yeah, anyway, Bill Burr speaking about Star Wars planets
is just funny.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Well, Bill Burr being like a serious Star Wars character
after talking trash about Star Wars was hilarious. It's a
funny bit that he doesn't talking. But all right, our
skiing award goes.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
To I mean, there's no question.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
You're done. You're done.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
You're dead to me, dude.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
And then lastly, our way toward is obvious. But as
I was watching the episode and you see just die
and I'm like, Okay, so he's all gonna die here,
I guess glurb.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Club whatever the other part. Yeah, whatever the barrier.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
But I'm just thinking, like I'm like, I don't want
to give him an award, no the mean part, but
not thankfully, unfortunately, we also need to award it to
our our beloved new friend s M.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
Thirty three.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, I don't think he comes back from this one.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Know that they're gonna they're they're gonna fix them.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Well, to be fair and lost it, yeah a couple
of times.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Yeah, they're definitely gonna fix him.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
That was another thing, like John let the rat go.
He didn't he could have squashed him.
Speaker 5 (45:37):
Have we spent a moment of this podcast talking about
the rat a little bit in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, I mean, like Yeah, what like, what what is it?
What is the deal with the rat? Just just a
fun thing? Yeah, just fun thing?
Speaker 4 (45:50):
What if he's actually like controlling? What what if the.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Supervisor the rats act supervisor?
Speaker 5 (45:58):
But what if that's thirty three isn't actually a droid
and the rat is just driving?
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Oh that would be so funny.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Like in Men in Black when you pull back the
guy's head there's a little alien inside.
Speaker 5 (46:11):
I think about Scooby, the Scooby Doo movie where Scrappy
is actually inside.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Ye with that direct about James Gunn.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
That's why that's why we are so back, because James
Gunn our Lord and savior.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Anyone listening, if you ever hear Joey say we are back,
you better know that we are. We are so bad
Joey knows when we're.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Back, we must be back a lot. Yeah that's a
that's a topic for another podcast. Yeah, all right to
the tally board. Yeah, we actually have two entries that
would be like to award this time. So we want
to give a heart of Gold to thirty three. Yes,
(46:59):
he chose the kids when he didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, he yeah, found a loophole in his programming for.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
For instance, uncleansase, and they're like trying to say it
works and he goes close enough.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Yep, because even even as some thirty three knows you
don't hurt kids, Yeah, when you're not in your you know,
when you're right. Mind when he was programmed earlier to
rip the limb and limb, we're not gonna talk about that.
But when faced with the real situation like that, he uh,
I mean, good thing, good thing, John. There's you know,
John didn't decide to press the button on his back
(47:30):
this time. He just had to cut his head off.
But you know, you know, not to hear there.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
All right, So plus one heart of gold gives us thirteen. Uh,
and we also got a plus one for I have
a bad feeling about this because, in the spirit of
the award, uh, Neil's mom starts to say it and
gets stunned and can't finish. Yep, I have a bet
and was done done. Plus plus one brings us to nineteen.
Speaker 5 (47:57):
So all right, before before we move on, I just
got a random prediction because of a comment you just made.
In the Redemption arc, when when John comes to save
the day and he's telling the kids, oh, I've been
your friend.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
This whole time. I was just kidding. He's gonna like
one of the kids aren't going to run and turn
off those security.
Speaker 5 (48:16):
Droids on at Aten and he's and they'll be like,
as you told us, you always go for the button
in the back.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
It's gonna happen. That's that's what's gonna happen next week.
Speaker 6 (48:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
I think I think John's gonna be wearing something that
has a button on the back, and then then they're
gonna save for they hit it. He's gonna like fly
off and like fall down a cavern or something. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Oh, okay, I like that too, you know, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
With the Jedi, Okay, that's all the same.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Neil is a Jedi.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
What if his dad is secretly a Jedi. Wendel is
secretly a Jedi. I'll take it they can't reveal until
his son is danger.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
It's actually a giant Jedi temple, you know. That's all
it is. This is a rich, rich Jedi temple. Oh yeah, no,
it is, it is. It is it time for its
time for our favorite part of the show, Star Wars joke. Yeah,
hit us with it, okay, all right, In the spirit
of money, knock, knock.
Speaker 4 (49:20):
Who's there?
Speaker 3 (49:21):
Who's there?
Speaker 2 (49:22):
I'm Adala, I'm Adala. Who I'm Adala?
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Short?
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Can you help me out? Like I said, the quality
is getting worse and worse, but I think my delivery
is getting better and better. So who knows that that
balances it out? We'll find out. Well, Uh, guys, thanks
for listening. Uh next week, finale of season one, maybe
(49:47):
the last season. Maybe maybe this is it, maybe they'll
continue on. Who knows. I don't know if they can
unless the kids just become an actual skeleton crew and
take the ship and go on adventures, which why not
be ca? Thanks listening. Check us out next week. May
