  • One of the best podcasts

    This is one of the best podcast. Grizzy more insight onto the films you watch or you’re about to see. I’m loving the coverage of secret wars right now and I can’t wait for the movie because I’ll feel better prepared with this background knowledge.

Maul: Shadow Lord (Star Wars/ Disney+) Season One - Review & Comparison
Q: What were your first impressions of Season 1, James?
The season is stunning to look at, with exceptionally detailed animation and dynamic lightsaber fights, while also pushing Maul into a more central, morally gray role that challenges traditional heroism.

I think it's maybe also a nice allegory for just no matter how hard you might try to fight it, what will be will be.
