Found it.

Can anyone (Kludge?) explain if his accent is supposed to be real or is it some sort of meta thing where it's how he thinks he sounds? Was really looking forward to this but not sure I can sit through a whole series of him Don Cheadling his way through the script.

Can't wait for The Boys 3.

Watched Eternals, it wasn't flawless by any means but I really enjoyed it.

Finally a decent episode of Book of Boba Fett for obvious reasons!

There was a great Terminator 2 style scene which looked amazing.

Bryce Dallas Howard is easily the best director on these shows especially compared to the work offered up by Rodriguez...

I don't know if anyone else has watched these, but these fake pitch meetings, while obviously exaggerated, do sum up pretty well why Wonder Woman was absurdly over-rated, and why '84 was a heap of crap

Book of Boba Fett 6. Proper nerd fun.

It's like after 4 episodes the production team thought oh all this Tatooine stuff is boring. :lol:

Boba Fett is now a cameo in his own show while the younger cooler guy with the cute sidekick takes all the applause.

Didn't know that the actress who plays Fett's companion is not far from being 60 :shock:

She and Jennifer Beals are both 58. I’m a year younger and look a decade older.

Ep 6 will have had the SW nerds swooning. I have to admit, I enjoy the turn the series has taken last 2 episodes far more than the first 4.

So, Matrix Resurrections ... I got about 25 minutes into it and thought: "this is complete b*llocks".

Does it get any better, because the start is just dire.

Yep, I am liking The Book of Boba Fett. The last 2 were Mando tastic. The deep fake stuff is better. I think the guy who improved the cut from the last series has been taken on by lucasfilm.

Can't wait for the finale

Boba Book 7. Some great action sequences, but taken as a series, it just wasn't very good, imo.

The Bob Fett finale had 10 minutes of plot stretched out to an hour.

At least half hour of it was wooden actors (yes I'm looking at you space moped girl) hiding behind walls shooting at each other.

Mandalorian has been generally better, but this is still some high quality SWU content. Jon Favreau is the ****ing man in Hollywood these days.
