49: Santa Baby Yoda

As we head into that time of year where no one has a clue about what day it is, and we constantly emerge blurry eye from multiple turkey comas, you can take comfort in our many and varied holiday viewing recommendations! In this episode, we review the excellent Watchmen TV series, which Jon has declared his favourite TV show of the year. We also do a spoiler free preview (because we obviously haven’t seen it yet. Ahem) of The Mandalorian from Disney+. Dan recommends Ladhood, a BAFTA nominated coming of age comedy. And we have a group discussion on Rian Johnson’s modern murder mystery, Knives Out. We end the show with our immediate reactions to J.J. Abrams’ closing chapter of the new Star Wars trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker. Having taken our pod recording equipment to the midnight screening, we put off going to bed for the sake of capturing this segment, featuring nerds you’ve never heard from before! Don’t worry if you haven’t seen it yet, we don’t reveal any secrets :) May we wish all our listeners the absolute best Christmas ever. Thank you for all your support this year. We’ll be back in early 2020 with our favourite films of the year, and a preview of what’s coming up! Until then, take care nerds!
