## Resource

On this week’s episode, we asked what on Earth Paul Schrader is doing getting dumped by an AI girlfriend . Then they reviewed The Mandalorian and Grogu , a movie that is nominally set in the Star Wars universe and has Star Wars-like elements but feels somewhat … lacking … for those of us with a long-term relationship to the series. But did Sonny’s kids love it? And is that all that really matters? You’ll want to listen to this week’s episode ahead of our bonus episode, which contains the definitive ranking of all Star Wars live-action theatrical movies. That episode is roughly as long as a normal episode. I’m just telling you now: You’re going to want to hear the whole thing. Sign up now if you haven’t already!
