Breaking down two episodes this week: The Gunslinger and The Prisoner. There's a lot of bad people in these episodes. The kids weren't super into these until we started talking about them. That crew in The Prisoner is going to haunt our dreams for a good long while though.

It’s Chapter 3 of The Mandalorian and if this is what woman-directed Star Wars looks like, please only give us woman-directed Star Wars from now on.
We talk whistling birds, body counts, the creepy Client, Mando culture and ... armpit hair? For some reason?

What do you call Chewbacca’s bandolier when it’s being worn by a Mandalorian?
Q&A COUNCIL [43:35]
